Om Netværket

Nordisk Netværk for Avantgardestudier er et nordisk forskningsnetværk støttet af Nordforsk 2004-2007. Nordisk Netværk for Avantgarde Studier vil styrke og koordinere mindre og spredte nationale forskningsmiljøer, bidrage til at fremme udveksling af viden om forskelle og ligheder mellem de nordiske lande og gøre nordisk avantgardeforskning internationalt synlig. Nordisk Netværk for Avantgardestudier afholder en årlig konference. Netværket danner også ramme for udarbejdelsen af De nordiske avantgarders kulturhistorie i 4 bind og et elektronisk arkiv for dokumenter fra de nordiske avantgarder. Det nordiske forskningsnetværk er en videreudvikling af det danske forskningsnetværk ”Avantgardernes genkomst og aktualitet” støttet af Det humanistiske Forskningsråd 2001-2004. Under forberedelse er et Europæisk Netværk for Avantgarde og Modernisme Studier, EAM, hvis første konference afholdes i Ghent, Belgien, maj 2008.

About the Network

The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies is supported by Nordforsk 2004-2007. The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies aims to support and coordinate small and dispersed national centres of research, help promote the exchange of knowledge about differences and similarities among the avant-garde currents and research in the Nordic countries, and make Nordic avant-garde research visible in a European and international context. The Nordic Network of Avant-Garde Studies has a yearly conference. Within the Network an editorial group is preparing a four-volume Cultural History of the Nordic Avant-Gardes and an electronic archive of documents from the Nordic avant-gardes. The Nordic network is an extension of the Danish research network ”The Return and Actuality of the Avant-Gardes” supported by the Danish Research Council 2001-2004. A European Network of Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies, EAM, is under preparation and will have its first conference in Ghent in May 2008.

Press release from NKV:

 

The George Maciunas Award 

 

The award is sponsored by the Wiesbaden based Fluxus collectors Ute and Michael Berger, Juror is Rene Block and given to artist of the second generation of Fluxus. The aim is to support young international artists whose works suggest ideas inherent to the Fluxus art movement in order to keep the art current alive. The first award received Maria Eichhorn in 1992, during a show she had at the NKV at the same time as John Cage was honored there with a retrospective show during FLUXUS DA CAPO. Since then, the award has been assigned every 47 months - in honour to George Maciunas, founder of FLUXUS, who died early in the age of 47. FLUXUS has been officially founded at the "Fluxus Festival of Very New Music" which took place in Wiesbaden in 1962. This Fluxus event provided the first real broad impact for this new art movement.

Tango with Cows: Book Art of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1910 - 1917

November 18, 2008-April 19, 2009

Getty Research Institute Exhibition Gallery

Curators: Nancy Perloff with Allison Pultz

Drawing principally from the Getty Research Institute's collection of Russian modernist books, Tango with Cows: Book Art of the Russian Avant-Garde, 1910-1917 brings into focus a brief, but tumultuous period when Russian visual artists and poets, including Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Kazimir Malevich, Alexei Kruchenykh, and Velimir Khlebnikov, challenged Symbolism and revolutionized book art. They fabricated pocket-sized, hand-lithographed books and juxtaposed primitive and abstract imagery with a transrational poetry they called zaum' ("beyonsense"). This exhibition traces the avant-garde's use of the materials of their book art - imagery, language and its sounds, design, graphic technique - to convey humor, parody, and an intriguing ambivalence and apprehension about Russia's past, present, and future.
