Pavilion of Comrades Intelligentsia Gallery is thrilled to present ‘Pavilion of Comrades’, a group exhibition with works by Pussykrew, William Lee (b.1985 Beijing, China), Oliver Haidutschek (b. 1976 Vienna, Austria), Lin Ke (b. 1984 Wenzhou, China), Lu Yang (b. 1984 Shanghai, China), The Collective (f. 2015 Beijing, China), Ada Sokół (b.1994 Wrocław, Poland) with Beata Wilczek (b. 1986 Wroclaw, Poland) . Identity politics and the iconography of structures of power are two ubiquitous conditions of the contemporary. Strategies and methods of production create an even field of exploration in which the artist, thinker, actor, and creator share questions, observations and speculations about the characteristics of our time. ‘Pavilion of Comrades’ reflects on identity politics in the age of digital exchange of information and virtual mediums of production and communication. Following Boris Groys questions on the contemporary, the exhibition challenges the notion of art creation, curation, and diffusion while proposing a form of pavilion that looks beyond the limits of physicality, matter and latent conditions of production, discourse and consumption of art creating a domain of comrades of the contemporary. Curated by Garcia Frankowski, the first China-based Pavilion of the The Wrong (Again) New Digital Art Biennale presents Video, Installation, and objects both as online territories and as physical installation forming a pavilion of comrades. Intelligentsia Gallery
同志之亭 智先画廊隆重呈现群展“同志之亭”。参展艺术家包括Pussykrew, William Lee, Oliver Haidutschek, 林科 , 陸揚, The Collective, Ada Sokol, Beata Wilczek。 身份认同政治与图像的力量是普遍存在于当代的两种状态。当代的生产策略与生产方式创造了平均的探索 场,使艺术家、思想家、演员、创作者得以分享上述提到的关于我们时代特征的问题、观察以及推测。 “同志之亭”,探讨了在当下这个依赖数字信息交换与虚拟媒体生产交流的时代,身份认同政治的意义。顺应 Boris Groys对当代性的质疑,展览挑战了艺术生产、策划与展览的概念,并提出一种超越其物理、物质与 条件局限的亭子原型,创造出一个与当代性为伍的领域。 由Garcia Frankowski策展,The Wrong (Again) Digital Art Biennale的第一个中国馆展示了一系列同时涵盖 线上虚拟与实体装置的影像、装置与物件,形成这座同志之亭。

49 Wrong Questions Christopher Rey Perez
What is the foundation upon which we erect the pavilion? Besides pus, blood, yolk, glair, and phlegm, will matter extoll less dialogic, confessional, and epicurean forms? How to push into unreal sculpture without submerging into raw idealism? Does the bestial show its hand at virtual norms? What to do with all these cells? Who is in the hearse and how fast is it proselytizing Baudrillard’s pataphysics? How can futurist perceptions of gender evade binaries when code itself seems left without a neuter? Why do some people talk about emotions as if they’re not the best of fiction? How do I envelop within varying representations of revolution at a fast enough frame rate? Is our articulation of society just a screenshot of its own information system? What to do with the fact that Alan Turing worked for the military—and more gravely, what to do with the military as primary fountainhead of technology? Are our onscreen choices reductive inasmuch as they expose a program of relation? At what resolution do we best imitate the aesthetic experience? In what ways has irony totalized ipseity? Does installation predate the architecture of ruins, like a hard drive full of memory trying to stay afloat? Is rejection of the digital alarmist or just an excess of emergency?
If the Sunflower Manual is read as a technê, did Dongfang Bubai become transhuman? What will replace both YouTube and Vimeo for the online exhibition of video? Can a computer’s aptitude for deviance simulate bodies at play? How to provide a space for the deinstrumentalization of technology? Will technogaians endorse Nendo Digital? Is art production a technological gesture, and by that I mean a mold of recurring human activity? How to create an online happening? What use remains of mail art? How much of this do we owe to Plato’s cave? What happens when these “jumping molecules constant revolt” are understood, like L.F. Céline’s use of hyperbole, as unconventional—and yet influential—style? Has painting always been a liminal activity designed to negotiate our relation to the screen? How much do I feel we are entering the era of computational affectivity? To what extent do trends both inhibit and manifest the contemporary’s possibility of defragging its own contemporaneity? Does digital art work toward utopia or dystopia, or does it exist outside this dichotomy as non-society or even as inadvertently ineffectual for conceptualizing futurity? What are some Third-Worldist takes that necessarily exclude beaches, fashion, and the .wav form? Am I delusional or at 9:02 did I see a version of Todd 364 from Soldier (Warner Bros. 1988)? If we examine the full title under which Robinson Crusoe was published—The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having
been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver’d by Pyrates—do we begin to redact the functionality of a desktop? Is the question What Would F.T. Marinetti Do (WWMD) the height of anachronism or another ironic defeat of historical relativism? Wherein lie PornHub, XVideos, and the rest of Internet porn? Is the participation of my avatar political enough? In what ways am I thinking of Hito Steryl’s thoughts on the poor image (Comrade, what is your visual bond today?)? Will Bitcoins hold the ultimate purchasing power for art? What are the names of the folders and subdirectories that store these works? Is language the final abstraction of the virtual? Does criticality make an art practice feel human in the face (Latin: facies—form, appearance, face) of its own (perhaps lack of) market value? Will e-commerce ever not necessitate the corporeal? What happens when narrative immersion becomes the endgame of modeling unreal space? If I’m thinking of the iconography of the popular, what to do with high art’s appropriative tendencies? What is the relationship between this new territory of the non-physical’s subsistence on visuality and the self-conception of the nation via the mapping of the colony? Do androids dream of black bodies in space? What happens when Who am I only answers to the acculturation of globalized tastes? Are digital art and object-oriented ontology ideal bedmates? How do we reduce our lag with far-off comrades laboring in the jungle of the real?

Fundamental Comrades Garcia Frankowski
Like Comrades of Time, each of the artists reacts to circumstances of contemporary life and artistic production. Tacticians on a universal strategic game, they mediate, analyze, scrutinize the flows and networks of production, representation and diffusion –of ideas, images, concepts, products. They look outward into new worlds. Into the systems of multilateral exchange, into the advertisement of abstractions, and the wormholes that generate value via the connection of distant conceptual universes. They look into the commodity as art, and art as the commodity in a realm trapped between the rebirth of history and the decay of fragile ecosystems. They look inwards too, reflecting on the perennial questions of our existence. Once the cosmic ambitions have landed on newly discovered seas, they highlight with dark humour the ideological constructions that give or take meaning from the condition of being-in-the-world while floating in the metaphorical fluid of the desktop background. The computer screen, mirroring reflection of our hybridity as physical and virtual entities, shows the existential remains of an eternal pixelated shipwreck. Floating in these vast oceans some colonies have created mythologies concerning physiological avatars, and the psychological machines that fuel them. Meanwhile others focus on the utilitarian commodity in its ideological and aesthetic function. At once cosmonauts of unknown digital galaxies, and sailors of these geopolitical seas, each artist confronts in the novelty of the medium and the legacy of discourses two facets of contemporary artistic production. In this pavilion of paradoxes, each comrade works with new media to answer old, fundamental questions.

aims at rethinking the ways in which objects are shaped ontologically, how certain types of aesthetic languages and objects become fetishes that define social groups within pop culture or how value-driven systems as likes and reblogs create a specific setting for the work. Just as the actual depiction of objects in real life hold a different value than when shared in the internet as a 3d sculpture, Aoto Oouchi likes to use these schemes to create 3d object installations and watch their symbolic value shift and reshape by reseeding it back to the social media. Recent exhibitions include ‘The Death of a Friend’ at Intelligentsia Gallery; ‘Drifting’ at Unicorn Centre for Art; ‘Rhetorical Materialism’ at CCA Center, ‘X+1’,Museum of Contemporary Art, Montreal; ‘Post Human - Post Humanism’, PARADISE, Marseille; ‘COOL - As a State of Mind’, MAMO, Marseille; ‘Long Distance Gallery’, transmediale, Berlin; ‘Victory over Nothingness’, Intelligentsia Gallery, Beijing; ‘CRASH’, newscenario, Berlin; ‘100% NET GALLERY SHOW 5’, Online; MON3Y.US’ – Online; ‘Ctrl + Paste’, New Low Gallery, Melbourne; ‘The Wrong - New Digital Art Biennale’, Online. www.haidutschek.com Pussykrew (b. 1982 & 1985) Pussykrew is an interdisciplinary duo of Tikul and mi$ gogo.
