I WANNA GIVE YOU DEVOTION


I WANNA GIVE YOU DEVOTION

7. September - 4. Oktober 2017

Vernissage, 6. September 19 Uhr 
Begrüßung Albert Knoll, Vorstand forum homosexualität münchen e.V.

Kurzfilm-Screening, 20. September 19 Uhr

Finissage und Filmscreening, 4. Oktober 19 Uhr 
Mit „Kaliarda“ (2014, 57 Min.) von Paola Revenioti und einer einführenden Lesung von
Gufler aus seinem neuen Künstlerbuch „Indirekte Berührung“.
Im Anschluss legt DJ Problemi auf.


Im Zentrum von Philipp Guflers Ausstellung „I wanna give you devotion“ steht die Poster- und Videosammlung des nselbstorganisierten Archivs forum homosexualität münchen e.V., in dem der Künstler seit 2013 Mitglied ist.

Zur Ausstellung hat Gufler 29 Künstler*innen und Kollektive eingeladen, die Postersammlung zu befragen, zu erweitern und zu aktualisieren. Diese Weiterschreibungen werden zusammen mit historischen Postern der Sammlung gezeigt, wodurch ein dichtes Geflecht aus aktuellem und historischem Material entsteht. Die Videoarbeit „Schemata #01 (I wanted to give you devotion)“ von Philipp Gufler, Byron Kalomamas und Angela Stiegler spinnt die Verknüpfungen weiter: Archivmaterial trifft auf Youtube-Clips, (Künstler-) Filme von Chantal Akerman, Jean Genet und Pedro Almodóvar auf Popkultur, Gusti vom Ochstengarten auf Britney Spears und Spots der Deutschen AIDS-Hilfe auf Songtexte. Es entsteht ein Archiv der Gefühle, persönlicher Erfahrungen, politischer Kämpfe und des Begehrens, das die Geschichte in die Gegenwart zieht: aktuelle Diskriminierungen und Ausgrenzungen zeigen sich genauso wie das ungestillte Begehren für nicht-normative Lebensformen.

Zur Ausstellung erscheint das gleichnamige Künstlerbuch als „Splitter 14“ mit Texten von Kerstin Stakemeier und Mitgliedern des Forums in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Hammann Von Mier Verlag.

On Wednesday, September 6 2017 „I WANNA GIVE YOU DEVOTION“ opens. Philipp Gufler realized the exhibition in cooperation with the self-organized archive forum homosexualität münchen e.V.. 

Key element is the poster and video collection of the forum, from which an archive of feelings, personal experiences, political battles and desire emerges. The exhibition combines historical posters and flyers with works by 29 artists and collectives, which Gufler specifically invited in order to question, actualize and expand on the poster collection. Historical and current material interweaves to a dense mesh. The video work “Schemata #01 (I wanted to give you devotion)" by Philipp Gufler, Byron Kalomamas and Angela Stiegler, which is shown in the interior of the installation, amplifies the poster mesh on the exterior by text and audio fragments. Archive material from the forum homosexualität münchen e.V. meets found footage from the Internet, (artist) films by Chantal Akerman, Jean Genet and Pedro Almodóvar meet German AIDS - Help clips, Gusti Ochsengarten meets Britney Spears, witness accounts meet song lyrics. „I WANNA GIVE YOU DEVOTION“ describes the desire for a past and a future that "is - not - yet - here", for non-normative ways of living whose beginnings can be found in the forum's archive, as well as a desire for a story which goes against the ruling majority.

An artist book will be published on the occasion of the exhibition,  including texts by Kerstin Stakemeier and members of the forum.  It will be published by the  Hammann Von Mier Verlag in the forum-series „Splitter“, which discusseshistorical and socio-cultural issues and presents historical figures

Bei Cosy




Bei Cosy

16th June – 8th July 2017
Open every Friday and Saturday from 5-11pm


Bei Cosy is a somewhere between an exhibition, a bar and a costume party, taking place over 4 weeks in the belly of RONGWRONG. The project will feature a roster of invited artists hosting events every Friday and Saturday night and a series of newly commissioned works entitled Fingerbekenntnisse. Taking its name from a celebrated bar in Munich run by the artist Cosy Pièro from 1962-82, the project will pay homage to her work, the significance of her bar and its active position in the sexual politics of the time.
Although many of the patrons of Bei Cosy are today celebrated figures or have faded into obscurity – together they represent an essential yet fragile history, a complex interwoven web of art, sex, inclusion/exclusion, gender identity and sociability. It is these moments that become ‘lost’ or forgotten within mainstream historical accounts. This new Bei Cosy is intended to critically address the role social spaces play in our social, sexual, artistic and political lives – creating a new context for particular histories and archival material to emerge amongst new works and an intergenerational community of artists.

The concept of Bei Cosy is by Philipp Gufler and Richard John Jones in collaboration with Cosy Pièro, Sands Murray-Wassink and Laurie Cluitmans.


Fingerbekenntnisse


Invited Artists:
AA Bronson, Johannes Büttner,
 Johanna Gonschorek, Philipp Gufler, Caspar Jade Heinemann, Fabian Hesse, Richard John Jones,
 Evelyn Taocheng Wang and Sands Murray-Wassink.


This series of newly commissioned works depart from an infamous series of drawings that Pièro made for her bar that were seized under obscenity laws in Munich in 1963 and were most likely destroyed. The drawings depicted cats with women's heads and huge breasts engaged in a variety of acts with one another. Through the commissions, the invited artists have been asked to respond to these lost works of Pièro as a gesture of solidarity whilst also reinventing and reimaging these works from their own perspectives.

These Fingerbekenntnisse are shown together with a new work by Pièro in the bar designed specially for Rongwrong by Johannes Büttner, Gufler and Jones.
