LandEscape aims at presenting innovative and cutting-edge artworks in contemporary scenario and seeks to support creation art which focus more particularly on the theme of landscape in all the accepted meaning of the word and the recognition of the fundamental role which the landscapes of any kind have in the composition of an artwork.

Artist Cindy Sherman once stated that "We’re all products of what we want to project to the world. Even people who don’t spend any time, or think they don’t, on preparing themselves for the world out there – I think that ultimately they have for their whole lives groomed themselves to be a certain way, to present a face to the world.".

In this new special issue of LandEscape, we had the chance to interview 9 artists whose interdisciplinary practices focus on the experience of time and serve as representations of movement through space. In this issue:

Through their eyes, we see the world as a kaleidoscope of everchanging meanings.Things we thought we knew, whose significance we took for granted, suddenly change and turn out to be the opposite of what we believed them to be.

Holy Ground A conversation between Marina Abramović and Maria Balshaw

A conversation between Marina Abramović and Maria Balshaw

Just before she began her 700-hour-long performance at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Marina Abramović was asked by an art critic to define the difference between performance art and theatre.

"To be a performance artist, you have to hate theatre," she replied. "Theatre is fake… The knife is not real, the blood is not real, and the emotions are not real. Performance is just the opposite: the knife is real, the blood is real, and the emotions are real."
"I test the limits of myself in order to transform myself," she says, "but I also take the energy from the audience and transform it. It goes back to them in a different way. This is why people in the audience often cry or become angry or whatever. A powerful performance will transform everyone in the room."

What Makes an Artist? – Grayson Perry and Sarah Thornton | Tate Talks

What Makes an Artist? – Grayson Perry and Sarah Thornton

Who do artists think they are? What myths are they rejecting and propagating? What is the social role of artists in different countries around the world today? How do artists negotiate power? Self-belief? Recognition?

Author Sarah Thornton and artist Grayson Perry discuss how artists self-define and play the art-world game with particular attention to politics, kinship and craft, the three themes that structure Thornton’s forthcoming book, 33 Artists in 3 Acts.During the course of her five years of research, she investigated issues of credibility and self-belief, exploring the relationship between the artists’ everyday lives and art practices. Challenging preconceptions and unpicking the complex layers that form his identity, Perry offers insight into the influences and networks that feed into the development and production of his work.

My work is of narrative nature, it opens up a space from which the recipient can think ahead. The works contain one or more questions that you can talk about. Mostly, my questions research the relationships between reality and possible reality, between sign and matter. You can say: I am suggesting a narrative. And as well: I am creating a situation.

I am interested in the social dynamics arising from contemporary culture - particularly how personal identity is affected by environment and how our social and affective lives interconnect. This interest in the psychology of place has been a catalyst for both autobiographical and voyeuristic projects, documentary approaches to more conceptual ones.

Rudiger Fischer multidisciplinary visual artist, lives and works in Lubek, Germany

Mandy Williams photographer, lives and works in London, United Kingdom http://www.mandywilliams.com

My art practice refers to stories of reversion, representation and displacement. I understand my art work as multidimensional collages of opening spaces of intercultural contentions. It intends to evoke in the eye of the beholder individual, collective, socio-political and religious representations.
I like to shift, to shuffle and to superpose places and meanings to make perceptible.

Juerg Luedi mixed media artist, lives and works in Berne, Switzerland
http://www.poolart.ch

The camera is the tool I use in the urban landscape to merge reality with utopia and triviality with complexity. My work revolves around the observation of what lies on the periphery – things and objects that frame our everyday life yet exhibit a spirit or a character of their own. I make copies of my prints, change their proportions, detach details and elements from the original .

Urte Beyer multidisciplinary visual artist, lives and works in Berlin, Germany
http://www.urte-beyer.de/

Conceptually I am consistently drawn for all my projects to the themes of mystery, beauty, transfiguration, culture, and surrealism. I am not certain why but I am also consistently drawn to certain types of images. Always I strive for beauty in my work, and originality. Both are important to me, no matter if the image is photographic, color or black and white, or from my mind, as in a drawing.

My work explores the image in an experimental way using a variety of media, from audio-visual projects to site-specific interventions. My investigations revolve around what is an image and how different forms of perception shape its meaning. I tend to work by limiting myself to essential materials, each piece is the product of an elaborate generative process.

John Baldessari Interview: Art is Who I Am

In this interview John Baldessari reflects upon his long artistic career, his beginning and cultural influences, and why in the 1960’s he gave up painting for mixing the narrative potential of photographic images with the associative power of language.

Baldessari's works are part of major public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. His work is said to have influenced a number of internationally renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman, Catherine Opie, Barbara Kruger and Tony Oursler.

John Baldessari was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner in his studio in Venice, Los Angeles in January 2016.

German artist Frank Ackerman once stated that "The question for me how can I make time somehow collapse or expand, so it no longer unfolds in this one narrow form". In this new special issue of LandEscape, we had the chance to interview 9 artists whose interdisciplinary practices focus on the experience of time and serve as representations of movement through space. In this issue:

Joanne Gravelin (USA)

As she underlines " You could make other people's art, you could predict what everyone was going to post next, faster than they could post it. Your ideas and personalities became brands instantly. You started viewing everything in situ with similar and related content around it, which in art always included other work that was copying it or at least was uncomfortably similar. It also included products, artifacts, architecture, and selfies. The timeline from thought to post diminished. All content sources became equalized. Resources were scarce. Memes dominated. It's a story for another time." Read the >>>complete article>>>

March 26th, 2016 Cyberformance in the Third Space: A Conversation with Helen Varley Jamieson (interview by Randall Packer)

Randall Packer has interviewed Helen Varley Jamieson, an interesting digital media artist, playwright and performer from New Zealand.

She underlines "that there are different kinds of relationship between audience and performers, at least in performances using platforms such as UpStage, where the audience have the possibility to chat with each other and with the artists. The response from the audience to the performance is in some ways more direct – they can comment in the chat and will often be very honest in their comments; and in other ways more distant – a standing ovation has to be typed into the chat, which is less of a loud emotional outpouring."

September 16th, 2014 Charles Eppley interviews the artist Sergei Tcherepnin

Charles Eppley has interviewed artist Sergei Tcherepnin who participated in a lecture series organized by the Center for Experimental Lectures at Recess. The evening was dedicated to investigating sound as an artistic material, both material and psychological, and also featured philosopher Christoph Cox.

Tcherepnin underlines that he "started to realize that there was not much conversation on sound, which in reality is very subjective... but normally it is talked about much more objectively. For example, even though a lot of the early 1960s pieces might have subjective tactics or strategies, like liberating the spectator to experience sound differently by walking around the space, there was still always an acceptance of sound as a pure, absolute material." >>>complete interview>>>

March 12, 2015 Global Audiences, Zero Visitors: How to measure the success of museums’ online publishing
(posted on Rhizome by Orit Gat)

An interesting article that can be read on Rhizome "As museums are rethinking their relationship to their audience online, an increasing number chooses to publish online magazines, and many of these publications emerge from institutions that are not necessarily the major museums in art world hubs. while others produce magazines that are thematically related to subjects the museum covers but are not directly linked to the art on view. What they all share is a feeling that online publishing expands the museum's audience, making it a potentially global one." >>> read it >>>
