A Great Event is in the Making. But No One has Noticed In a “room filled with the radiance of festive illumination and the assembled company”, a sense of anesthetizing detachment kept the ruling class from perceiving an upcoming substantial event in Robert Musil’s The Man without Qualities. With a title eponymous to the last chapter of his unfinished novel, the exhibition explores the role played by the gathering of parallel stories unfolding while the establishment overlooks a looming threat. Away from the hegemonic constructions of market-oriented, nationalistic and academic imperatives, all-encompassing narratives, and opportunistic discourses, ‘A Great Event is in the Making. But No One has Noticed’, reclaims the vital ethos of enthusiasm and alertness, and proposes the underground space as conceptual incubator for the gestation of positions, discourses, ideologies, projects, discrepancies, disconnections, agencies, aspirations, performances and executions. In occasion of its second anniversary, ‘A Great Event is in the Making. But No One has Noticed’ features 24 artistic positions in representation of the time elapsed since the foundation of Intelligentsia Gallery. Co-curated by Hao Chen, the gathering of works as a total installation proposes the exacerbation of the exhibition space as both container and action, contemplating a great event in the making, while no one else notices.

一个重大事件正在酝酿,但是人们没有察觉 罗伯特·穆齐尔在《没有个性的人》中描述到,在一个“充满了欢庆的灯光和聚会人群的房间里”,麻醉式 的断裂使得统治阶级无法感知到即将来临的重大事件。与穆齐尔未完成的小说最后一章同名,此次展览 试图将集中展现那些挑战权威,却被权威无意忽略的平行故事。远离市场主导、民族主义、学术使命、 大全式叙事、投机主义论述等霸权主义架构,“一个重大事件正在酝酿,但是人们没有察觉”带来了热情 与警戒的重要回声,并使”地下“空间成为孕育立场、争论、意识形态、项目、分期、断裂、各方力量、 愿景、表演、执行的孵化器。 在两周年纪念日之际,“一个重大事件正在酝酿,但是人们没有察觉”集结了24位自智先画廊建立以来参 展过的具有代表性的艺术家。由陈昊联合策展,此次汇集的作品作为整体装置,将展示空间推升成一件 容器、一种行为,它凝视着正在发生的重大事件,但是人们没有察觉。

Happy Birthday
Guido Tesio Two years ago Intelligentsia gallery opened to the public. Since then more than 50 exhibitions and events have taken place, providing - despite the limited amount of time - a massive amount of material to be retrospectively analyzed. In this short note, I will limit myself to underline some general aspects of this intense period of activity. From the very beginning Intelligentsia sought to bring differences together. Each exhibition staged a reflective dialogue between different subjects and the world rather than simply offering the aesthetic appreciation of a cohesive idea of art. Structuring its exhibitions as open fields of unresolved tensions that elicited the participation of both artists and visitors Intelligentsia deliberately gazed at the coexistence of diverse elements. At the very same time, from the large amount of exhibitions curated by Intelligentsia, a group of authors that had consistently contributed to these first two years of the gallery seems to emerge. They are not united by stylistic analogies as much as by their belonging to a generation that faces - in all its inner differences - increasingly common and global challenges. With its open yet inclusive attitude Intelligentsia has not only given these differences a platform to express, but also it provided a common ground for the progressive growth of synergies and connections among different subjects working for a concerted alternative to the contemporary homologation of culture.
Quantum Greatness Garcia Frankowski
A Quantum theory claims that nothing exists if there’s no way to measure it. That’s it. Finally. The way to achieve nothingness is by the lack of measurability. In order to leapfrog humanity we must disappear measurements. Sink into the void of immeasurability. Concepts are nothing but concepts. A measure is a concept. What’s measured it’s a concept too. We have come to the crux of the problem The summit. Climax.
In classic plots there’s a build-up to a series of unfolding events. Modernist narratives don’t give a fuck. They are like quantum theory, messed up fragments that appear and disappear with no measurable effect. Unmeasurable concepts. Anti-climax. I wish contemporary narratives worked in this direction. Where there’s nothing to say, there’s nothing to measure. How to value nothing, if it doesn’t exist? What can be measured? Distance traveled. Words written. Thesis proved. Photo taken. Paint sputtered. Fabric stitched. Typography printed. Images assembled. What can’t be measured? Level of happiness. Feeling of uncertainty. Sense of curiosity. A flirt. Waste. Unidentifiable matter printed and presented behind a plane of plastic, nailed to wall. The profound effect of a misspelled quote. Hours awash behind marker. Meaning. Ulrich was stripped from his qualities when the scales changed. Society engineered precision beyond the metaphysics of knowledge. The randomness of poetry. Deep in decadence, time—a measurable concept—ran lose. A great event is not great anymore if it can’t be measured. Unless, its greatness lies in nothing. Like quantum theory. Fragments of immeasurability spread through the walls.
Bios Ada Sokół (b.1994 Wrocław, Poland) Ada Sokół is a visual artist and designer. She was raised by an architect and 3d designer in Poland and studied Fashion design at the University of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Currently she is about to start a degree in Media studies at University of Arts London. Her early projects were heavy-detailed illustrations, which later transformed into experiments with 3d environment, what have become a core element of her current work. She enjoys collaborating with artists from different fields, as it allows to put her works in a new context. So far she has worked with such companies as Primitive London and New Ultra Group, with who she did couple of mixed-media editorials and organized conceptual showroom during London Fashion Week. Her digital works has been published in TANK Magazine and many independent zines. adasokol.com The Collective The Collective is a Beijing based collaborative artistic project. Formed by a group of artists, authors and curators, The Collective works on a wide range of media and platforms. Taking a critical stance in fast developing systems of conceptual and ideological production, development and apprehension, The Collective produces projects that question the state of discourses and practices of contemporary culture. The Collective creates works as critical reflections and active actions often employing irony and humour deeply rooted in philosophical foundations. Oliver Haidutschek (b. 1976 Vienna, Austria) Oliver Haidutschek studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. His work explores different phenomena that occur in and through social media, both in the sense of the language production of images and in their consumption. Through repetition and duplication Aoto Oouchi 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
简介 Ada Sokół (b.1994 波兰华沙) Ada Sokół 是一名年轻的视觉艺术家及设计师。她从小生活在一位建筑师和3D设计师的家 庭,曾在华沙现代艺术大学学习时装设计。现将前往伦敦艺术大学,学习媒体专业。 她喜欢将艺术与其他领域相结合,也因此创造了自己艺术作品的新路径。她曾在伦敦时装周 为Primitive London and New Ultra Group打造多媒介构成的概念陈列室。她的一些数字作品 曾在TANK杂志及其他电子杂志中发表。 adasokol.com The Collective The Collective 是北京的一个合作艺术项目,由多位艺术家和策展人联合创办。是一个包罗 万象的媒体平台。在概念的和意识形态的产品培养体系中占据重要地位。The Collective的项 目是对当代文化的论述和实践,并且具有批判性反思,常常基于深层次的哲学并带有讽刺和 幽默色彩。 Oliver Haidutschek (b. 1976 Vienna, Austria) 他的作品旨在探索产生自社会媒介的纷繁现象,既关乎形象的语言表达,又关乎形象的消 费。通过重复和复制,Oliver Haidutschek希望重新思索客体如何在本体论意义上被塑造的 方式,特定类型的美学术语与对象如何成为在流行文化圈中定义社会群体的偶像,以及诸如 likes和reblogs等价值驱动系统如何为艺术提供了具体的创作背景。 正因对现实生活中的观察对象的如实描绘转化为网络环境中分享传播的3D雕塑时会具有不同 的价值和意义,Oliver Haidutschek喜欢使用这种技巧创作3D装置,并通过将其重新植入社 会媒介去观察这种装置所反映的价值的转移和重塑。 近期的展览包括:在智先画廊的 《The Death of a Friend》;在独角兽艺术空间的《Drifting》; 在CCA中心的《Rhetorical Materialism》, 在蒙特利尔现代艺术博物馆的《X+1》l;在马赛 PARADISE的 《Post Human - Post Humanism》, 在马赛MAMO的《COOL - As a State of Mind》; 在柏林媒体艺术节的 《Long Distance Gallery》;在智先画廊的 《Victory over Nothingness》;在柏林newscenario《CRASH》;网络在线展览 《100% NET GALLERY SHOW 5 》及《MON3Y.US》; 在墨尔本New Low画廊的《Ctrl + Paste》; 网络在线展览《The Wrong - New Digital Art Biennale》。 www.haidutschek.com
Pussykrew (b. 1982 & 1985) Pussykrew is an interdisciplinary duo of Tikul and mi$ gogo. Their creative practices range from multimedia installations, 3D imagery, videoclips and audio-visual performance, to DIY electronics and sculpture design. Pussykrew is originally from Poland, developed globally via Ireland, UK, Berlin and Brussels, currently based in Shanghai and online. Pussykrew explores post-human concepts, corporeal aesthetics, urban landscapes and fluid identities with their synthetic-organic notions, constantly searching for liminal states within the digital realm. Pussykrew works are being presented in various contexts - at digital arts and film festivals, independent art spaces, renown institutions, club environments, as well as commercial events, tech fairs and galleries. Pussykrew have worked with Boiler Room / x House of Vans, Converse, Hugo, Mini, WARP Records and performed live visuals for numerous international music artists (such as Angel Haze, Kelela, Evian Christ, Kode9, Nguzunguzu.. ) Pussykrew loves dynamic surroundings, interactive spaces, discoveries and future scenarios. http://niochnioszki.net/ William Lee (b.1985 Beijing, China) William Lee graduated from London College of Communication (LCC) in 2008, with diplomas in Photography and Writing for Film and Television. His artistic practice deals mainly with the issues concerning the perception and performance of gender. He currently lives and works between Beijing and London. Mu Chen and Shao Yinong (b. 1970, Liaoning Province; b. 1961, Qinghai Province) primarily work with photography but have recently pursued other mediums including installation and sculpture. Their practice reflects on the social and political impacts caused by the upheavals of the recent rapid economic, political and social change occurring in China. They examine the processes of memory – both collective and individual – deconstructing the false dichotomies that exist in reality and representation; truth and nostalgia. A number of works investigate the concept of how public space, architecture and objects can be invested with meaning and can evoke a certain historical or emotional moment. The photo-documentary series Assembly Hall addresses the use of architecture for political or social agenda, and explores how an empty building can capture the collective memories of past experience, highlighting the tensions between the political past and present. The Family Register series – an assemblage of sepia photographs of the artists’ relatives – documents the artists’ efforts to rebuild a traditional family register after theirs, as many others’, had been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. The Childhood Memory series shows naked babies placed in front of famous Chinese landmarks such as Tiananmen Square and Yuanmingyuan,

poignant evocations of the submissive relationships of children to elders and likewise the people to the state. A recent installation work shown at the 2008 Guangzhou Triennale, East Wind West Wind uses Buddhist philosophy to discuss the shifting relationships between China and the West. The work plays with light as a metaphor for enlightenment, and dark for its potential; the European-style picture frames and chandeliers currently popular in China are swathed in black cashmere, omens of enlightenment. Mu Chen and Shao Yinong are a wife and husband team who live and work in Beijing. Since they began collaborating in 2000 they have had solo exhibitions in China, Canada, Italy, Taiwan and Korea. Recent group exhibitions include Farewell to the Postcolonial: Third Guangzhou Triennial, Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangzhou, 2008; New World Order: Contemporary Installation Art and Photography from China, Groninger Museum, The Netherlands; 2007 and 5th Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, Australia, 2006.

If her use of photography always takes diverse forms (projections, slides, edition or prints), her characters or places of study seem fixed in a moment in time. In 2010, her collaboration with the TV series Skins in New York led her to rethink the notions of characters, sets and fictions. The same year she left for California in search of cities as atypical destinies. She created there the first opus of a set of works entitled California City (exhibited at the Printemps 2012 au 57ème Salon de Montrouge) as well as Salton Sea, a series of overexposed pictures. From those two ghost towns, one from the past, the other one from a future soon to be surpassed, appears a reflexion on the notion of generation. From 2012 she has focused on portraits of teenagers of a generation fed on American references and digital technologies (Born in the 90’s), as well as on a series of mises en scènes in the architectures of the 60’s, questioning the relationship of the human body in the middle of and lined by aged concrete. (Architecture + Fiction). Laureate of the Delano-Aldrich grant from the American Institute of Architecture, she bases her current research on the typologies of American roads and the urban fabric linked to their use. Camille Ayme writes regularly about her love for cars in Garagisme magazine.
