Towards Tomorrow Parasol unit 10th Anniversary Auction, 2014

Towards Tomorrow

FOREWORD The beautiful art works that you see on page after page of this publication are priceless gifts from almost seventy artists and friends of Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art. These artists have either shown at the foundation – in some stunning and challenging exhibitions – or have made the gift simply out of esteem for Parasol unit. A number of them have even gone out of their way to create a special piece to be sold at our 10th Anniversary Auction, Towards Tomorrow. In every instance, these art works are testimony to the amazing friendship and generosity the artists feel towards the foundation, something for which I am hugely grateful. No such anniversary celebration would be possible without the presence of family and friends, and these wonderful art works are reminders of what the ‘Parasol family’ is about and also how much our artists mean to us. I take this opportunity to salute them all, primarily for having accepted my invitation to exhibit their works at Parasol unit, and now for so readily agreeing to assist the foundation in its next phase, thereby enabling us to continue supporting other artists and helping the local community. The proceeds of this momentous auction will benefit a very important and noble cause – the Parasol unit Education programme, which is becoming ever more in demand by the residents of Hackney and Islington, and to support the increasingly ambitious exhibitions at the foundation. At a time when we look towards the future with great optimism and enthusiasm, I would like to appeal to all benevolent collectors to join these remarkable artists and me to bid passionately and generously for the art works presented in this auction, because together we can make a better world.

CHARLES AVERY (1973–)

Feeding the Gulls, 2007 Pencil and gouache on card Sheet: 82 x 120.4 cm (32¼ x 47½ in) Framed: 85.4 x 123.3 x 3.4 cm (33¾ x 48½ x 1½ in)

Estimate: £6,000 - £8,000 ($10,100 - $13,400)

Sothebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Since 2004, Scottish artist Charles Avery has dedicated his art practice to the description of a fictional island, on which he continues to elaborate. It has its own population, customs, philosophy, nature and architecture, all variously expressed in the form of large-scale drawings, sculptures, installations, texts and moving images. This extensive series of works created within a defined framework is rooted in Averyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own life and upbringing on the Isle of Mull off the west coast of Scotland and could be interpreted as a philosophical meditation on art-making and varying concepts of truth.

FIONA BANNER (1966–)

The Complete Text of Snoopy’s Novel: Filed Under Greatness (2) Reading (7), 2012 Screenprint on highly polished stainless steel 100 x 76 cm (39½ x 30 in) Initialled and dated on the reverse Courtesy of the artist and Frith Street Gallery, London

Estimate: £8,000 – £10,000 ($13,400 – $16,750)

Sotheby’s

The title of this series refers to the 1966 pop song, Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron, released by the Florida-based band The Royal Guardsmen shortly after The Red Baron first appeared in Peanuts, the famous comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. Since the band did not ask for permission to use Schulz’s characters, a legal dispute soon ensued. Fiona Banner references the combative relations between Snoopy and his nemesis, and the heavy-handed copyright issues surrounding creative ownership. In the Peanuts comic strip the pet beagle, Snoopy, aspires to be a great novelist and a World War I flying ace. In the latter incarnation, Snoopy wants both to be the Red Baron and to destroy him. The Baron, however, exists only in his mind – a heroicised representation of fear. In Banner’s The Complete Text of Snoopy’s Novel: Filed Under Greatness (2) Reading (7), an image of Snoopy is at the centre of Baron von Richthofen’s family crest. Behind it is the absurd, hubristic text of Snoopy’s ‘great novel’. The work alludes to acts of unmaking and destruction, as much as to the act of creation, and examines how we mythologize ourselves, our history, and how we are seduced by myths of our own making.

LOS CARPINTEROS Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes (1971–) and Dagoberto Rodríguez Sánchez (1969–)

Estimate: £8,000 – £12,000 ($13,400 – $20,000)

Sotheby’s

Marco Antonio Castillo Valdes and Dagoberto Rodríguez Sánchez, who collaborate as Los Carpinteros (the carpenters), are internationally renowned Latin American artists from Cuba. Their oeuvre occupies an intriguing area between conceptualism, activism and formalism. Some of their more monumental sculptures and installations extend the concept of sculpture to include architectural constructions. Their three-dimensional works are complemented by unique watercolours and drawings, making Los Carpinteros far more than craftsmen, as their name seems to imply. Los Carpinteros have works in the permanent collections of many of the major museums throughout the Americas, including MoMA and the Guggenheim in New York, and in Europe. They have had solo exhibitions in Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Buenos Aires, and Santiago de Compostela; and have participated in numerous group shows, including in New York, London and Helsinki, and shown installations at various international art festivals.

Sothebyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

One of Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most internationally renowned artists, Cecilia Edefalk is probably best known for her paintings. But photography, too, has been part of her practice since her first solo exhibition at the end of the eighties, when, in addition to a number of paintings, she exhibited a photograph that had light as its main element. And it is light, as well as an increasingly manifest interest in existential questions, that is at the core of her work.

‘I have been an enthusiastic supporter of Parasol unit since it was established in 2004. I have always felt that Parasol unit shared affinities with my work because of its grasp of global themes that reach far beyond the local boundaries of Western curatorial interest. In my humble opinion Parasol has been one of the UK’s key foundations in promoting exhibitions of the moving image in this country over the last 10 years, showing artists such as Yang Fudong, Eija-Liisa Ahtila and more. I greatly admire what Ziba has done in the past decade, but I have a favourite exhibition that stands out. In 2006, Parasol showed a work by Yang Fudong, No Snow on the Broken Bridge. I was so impressed with what I saw that I asked the artist to appear in my 2010 work, Ten Thousand Waves, as the lover of the beautiful actress Zhao Tao. I look forward to the next 10 years with great excitement and curiosity!’ ISAAC JULIEN

‘The passport is a document that officially represents a person’s country and culture abroad. For that reason one can say that the motifs printed on the pages of a passport are an official representation of that culture. State Paintings show enlarged details of the patterns from the passports of various countries. These details change into images which consist of abstract decorative lines that no longer have any recognizable link to their original meaning.’ STEFANIE MÜLLER

Reduction to Fact (One thought about Collage-Truth) ‘In today’s world of facts, information, opinion and comment, a lot is reduced to being factual. Fact is the new “golden call” of journalism, and the journalist wants to give it the assurance and guarantee of veracity. But I am not interested in the verification of a fact. I am interested in Truth. Truth as such, which is not a verified fact or the “right information” of a journalistic story. The Truth I am interested in resists facts, opinions, comment, and journalism. Truth is irreducible. Therefore, the images of destroyed human bodies are irreducible and resist factuality. I don’t deny facts and actuality, but I want to oppose the texture of facts today. The habit of reducing things to fact is a comfortable way to avoid touching Truth, and to resist this is a way to touch Truth. Such acceptance wants to impose on us factual information as the measure, instead of looking and seeing with our own eyes. I want to see with my own eyes. Resistance to today’s world of facts is what makes it important to look at such images.’

William Kentridge is best known for his drawings, prints and animated films, and in 1988 he co-founded the Free Filmmakers Co-operative in Johannesburg, South Africa. A major retrospective of his work, which opened in 2009 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA, USA, went on to tour internationally for three years. His work has been exhibited widely throughout the world, including at Tate Modern, London, the Louvre and Centre Pompidou, Paris, at the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, and at dOCUMENTA (13). His film Shadow Procession, 1999, was screened as part of the 2009 exhibition Parades and Processions at Parasol unit. This exhibition featured works by twelve international artists who took their inspiration from traditional meanings of ‘parades’ and ‘processions’, to create works that epitomise the social and political context of our time. William Kentridge was born 1955 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

‘This work is part of a series that I have been working on to explore the “mask” and its role in a manipulated transformation of our image. As part of the research for these works I came across the word “maskhara”, which is the Arabic source of the word mask. In modern Farsi language, the word is used to mean “ridiculous”. This particular drawing focuses on the latter definition of the word “maskhara”, rather than on the mask itself.’

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The musical notations in the background are transcriptions of song patterns from an Australian aboriginal songline.* In each song there is a moment when the major structural boundaries coincide with a breath, similar to that breathing-in moment which briefly anticipates the sipping of a spoon.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

*Crisscrossing the whole Australian landscape, through the deserts of its interior, the songlines provided travel directions and location indicators of landmarks, waterholes and other natural phenomena, the whereabouts of which were encoded in the song structure. Singing the songs in the appropriate sequence enabled the indigenous people to navigate vast distances. It is said that the melodic contours of the songs coincide with the landscape while their rhythm is key to their understanding.

A person is scanned using a 3-D white light scanner, specially developed for the work of Karin Sander. The resulting data is sent to a 3-D colour printer to construct the person, layer by layer, as a photographically realistic, plastic plaster figure in scale 1:5. The process of 3-D printing produces a faithful reproduction of the person being scanned. It results in a sculpture in freely chosen pose - a threedimensional black and white photograph -a self-portrait.

Since 2008, Not Vital has had a studio in Caochangdi, the arts district of Beijing, China, where he spends between 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 months every year. This immersion has naturally led to a fascination with new materials and forms for his work that originate from China itself. The stone in this work originates from Dali, an area in the northwest Yunnan province of China famed for its spectacular marble quarries. Dali marble possesses distinctive linear striations that occur naturally throughout the stone, creating beautiful patterns that give the impression of natural landscape elements, and also recall the poetic grace of Chinese ink drawings. Vital places carefully selected sections of marble within uniquely sculpted plaster mounts, which echo the form of window shapes from his native Engadin valley in Switzerland. In this way the artist creates a quasi-realist impression that the marble stone itself is a viewpoint, the culmination of a remarkable landscape impression.
