Satellite of Platform: Dreh und Angel (Pivot and Catch)
SEPTEMBER 24, 2013 TO OCTOBER 27, 2013
by Benjamin Lange and Tim Freiwald
Satellit of Platform at the Department of Labor and Economic Development
As a satellite of Platform, the foyer at the Department of Labor and Economic Development becomes a presentation
forum for an exhibition series in 2013 for the Munich Cultural and Creative Industries. After a successful start, the
second project “Dreh und Angel” (“Pivot and Catch” or “Crucial Hub”) is dedicated to the synthesis of interior design
and painting.
Together engineer of interior architecture Benjamin Lange (*1985) and painterTim Freiwald (*1986) have
developed a piece of furniture which interweaves interior design and pictorial thinking. The observer is compelled to
use and adjust the mobile wooden construction, in order to create both new spatial planning and a new communication
situation.
Side-event: Monday, 21 October, 2013 at 6 p.m.
“Stories between Banks” with Silvia Angel brings back to life a tradition that is gradually falling into oblivion: the oral
lore of experience and knowledge. As a side-event of the exhibition "Dreh und Angel" by Benjamin Lange and Tim
Freiwald, currently on show in the foyer of the Department of Labor and Economic Development, the storyteller Silvia
Angel presentsan evening of diverse fables and anecdotes from around the world. Inspired by a project in Israel, she
bridges gaps between generations, religions and cultures with her stories.
With "Dreh und Angel" differing systems literally mesh together: haptic and visuality, functionality and aesthetics. The
connection between wood and paint here creates an interesting tension in the relationship between material and
surface. The minimalistic seeming furniture acts as image carrier for the smooth and shiny color fields that have been
applied. These add a further, associative level to the wood by creating shifting images, depending on the constellation.
Despite the sculptural appearance of the installation, Lange and Freiwald manage to link artistic strategies with
functional considerations, thereby generating social fields of action.
Benjamin Lange (born 1985) and Tim Freiwald (born 1986) intertwine the systems of haptic and visuality in their
collaboration. Lange initially graduated as a carpenter from the Ebenisterie – a workshop for fine furniture in Bayreuth
and subsequently studied Interior Architecture and Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Freiwald began his
studies in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 2007 and has been Meisterschüler (master student) since
2011. His works have been shown among others in Dachau, Ingolstadt and Los Angeles.
Silvia Angel studied storytelling at the International School of Storytelling in Forest Row in England. Initially she
narrated at primary and lower secondary schools, as well as at smaller events and workshops at festivals, conferences
and other settings. Currently she is studying “Management of Social Innovation” at Munich University (MUAS).

The exhibition is curated by Karen Klauke.
PLATFORM: SPACE IS GOD
von Roland Burkart, Zora Kreuzer, Kriz Olbricht und Julien Viala
SPACE IS GOD – For the reconceptualized PLATFORM in Munich, SPACE IS GOD is the title of the exhibition as well as a
programmatic declaration. To create space in Munich for the production and presentation of culture as well as room for
questions relevant to culture and society are the two primary intentions of this special, municipal cultural institution.
Through highlighting the architectural and functional coordinates of the central exhibition hall, the current exhibition
SPACE IS GOD presents an overture. The theme at play will be the room as a forum for dialogue and creative
processes. Julien Viala and Roland Burkart, who work in the PLATFORM studios, developed the theme together with the
guest artists Zora Kreuzer and Kriz Olbricht.
Opening: Wednesday, 18 September 2013, 6pm, the artists will be present // Music: Philipp Ernst (Ritournelle) //
Opening Hours: Monday to Friday, 10am – 7pm
Four different positions on architecture meet each other in the PLATFORM exhibition hall. While Viala sets up his work
between architecture, sculpture and design, playing with the relevance of things and space, Burkart places architecture
itself in the foreground. He structures rooms with walls made from lights. With the help of drawings, he then analyzes
various kinetic and cognitive patterns. Perception also links to Olbrichts’ work: he makes minimal interventions mostly
in open spaces, which can be read as run-ins with equivalent structures. In contrast, Kreuzer is inspired by open space
and transforms colours through carefully composing fluorescent tube lights.
The new PLATFORM itself will also be a venue en route, taking place in various spaces across the city and will be open
to new themes and forms. Formally PLATFORM3, the 3 has disappeared to make room for a more open approach. It is
a cultural PLATFORM in Munich, now with a new interface designed by Bureau Mirko Borsche. At the same time as the
exhibition, six cultural managers, Natalie Cada, Erinn Carstens, Sasha Gora, Mirko Kahl, Sarah Nowak und Frédéric
Singer are beginning a yearlong traineeship.
With these new developments there will be a kick-off in November with events and talks marking the official start of
this new phase.
You are cordially invited. We are looking forward to your attendance!

Satellite of Platform3: Chris Goennawein
JULY 23, 2013 TO SEPTEMBER 13, 2013
Chris Goennawein: Untitled
Satellit of Platform3 at the Department of Labor and Economic Development
The foyer – a border area between inside and outside, an interface between working space and the public, a meeting
place as well as thoroughfare. A space with such versatility is also the entrance area to the Department of Labor and
Economic Development. As a satellite of Platform3, the foyer is simultaneously a presentation forum for the Munich
Cultural and Creative Industries. In the year 2013 artists and designers in graphic design, interior design and product
design are developing three installations with accompanying events. The temporary interventions explore the spatial
and content-related coordinates of this unique exhibition venue and convey the impression of the complexity of today’s
design concepts on the threshold of these various disciplines.
Chris Goennawein deals with the multi-layered facets of perception in his work "Untitled".
Opening: Monday, 22 July, 2013 at 6 p.m.
Finissage: Thursday, 12 September, 2013 at 6 p.m.:
“Round Table with Rough Edges” with Chris Goennawein and other protagonists.
Symbols of significant world currencies are the defining elements of the installation by Chris Goennawein. The
internationally active artist and graphic designer questions accustomed perception patterns with his arrangement of
currency symbols in relation to the English word “yes”. The brightly lit neon lettering represents on the one hand an
affirmative basic statement, and on the other it epitomizes ironic, critical commentary on economic circumstances. The
complexity of worldwide commercial relationships becomes radically reduced by the mainstream symbolism.
Chris Goennawein (born 1979) deals with the multi-layered facets of perception in his work. With numerous awards as
a graphic artist, he is editor of the publication “Parabol Art Magazine” in Vienna and operates the graphic label “Funny
Paper” in Munich. With other artist friends he organizes the gallery and label for art editions “Off White” in Brooklyn,
New York.

PRESENTATION OF THE PUBLICATION: THE AESTHETICS OF OCCUPYING- DISCOURSE RESEARCH
STRATEGIES
NOVEMBER 21, 2012 - 07:30 PM
This summer the trainees of PLATFORM3 have realized an interdisciplinary project rooted in the Occupy
movement: B∃SETZT – Discourse on Art, Politics and Aesthetics. They invited the artists' collective Magicgruppe
Kulturobjekt to create a temporary intervention for the exhibition hall of PLATFORM3. The result was a forum for
discussion and interaction, as well as a space for research, thought and interaction.
The Publication The Aesthetics of Occupying- Discourse Research Strategies, PLATFORM3- Spaces for
Contemporary Art Munich, both documents and expands the project B∃SETZT. It builds on its process and
experimental character, collects existing results and unleashes new viewpoints.
Like every project at PLATFORM3 in the year 2012, B∃SETZT is also characterized by the activating of the spectator
through strategies of participation which extend beyond traditional participative approaches. The director Marlene
Rigler defines the role of the spectator in her essay.
Karen Klauke describes the installation sweatroom, a site-specific work exploring its significance as a space for
communication. While Zdravka Bajovic illuminates occupying strategies and disrupting moments in art based on
three exemplary projects, Simon Teune contributes a social-scientific perspective with his written lecture Protest as
Occupation – On the Aesthetics of a Bottom-up Politics. Gürsoy Dogtas, in conversation with PLATFORM3, discusses
the relationship between art and activism in an email interview. The essay by Anabel Roque Rodriguez deals with
the transfer of political content into aesthetic strategies. Carina Essl addresses the International Video Call´s
submissions and describes occupying strategies in public spaces. The winner of the Video Call, Vienne Chan,
contributes an artistic contribution, which accompanies an essay by the curator Hila Cohen-Schneiderman.
Editors: Sarah Braconnier, Carina Essl, Karen Klauke, Marlene Rigler und Anabel Roque Rodriguez für PLATFORM3 Spaces for Contemporary Art Munich.

CRITICAL VOICES - Dialogues between Munich and Stuttgart
NOVEMBER 21, 2012 - 07:30 PM
Experimenting with circulation of knowledge, image transfer, mobility, time management, contextuality and the
constitution of a given (local) audience, Critical Voices aims at creating a dynamic discursive environment in two
neighboring German cities. The project is a collaboration, yet reflects each location's specific programming policy.
At Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, "Critical Voices" complements a series of solo projects entitled “Artistic Dialogues” and
at PLATFORM3 it is part of this year's engagement with the "spectator".
The series Critical Voices will investigate how diverse critical practices approach an audience and how the presence of
the spectator, the temporality of his/her gaze and potentiality of their participation shape artistic and curatorial
content in relation to various forms of social critique, contribution and critical knowledge production. Each keynote
speaker will present his/her work in both cities. The geographical distance between them, although a matter of space,
will also be considered as an analogy of time, inviting the guests to play with the different local contexts in Stuttgart
and Munich. The initial encounter with a given audience in the first city will set a point of reference for the guest
speaker's presentation in the second city.
Keynote speakers:
The artist Ana Hoffner (1980, Serbia) is currently based in Vienna and Berlin. Most frequently in the form of lecture
performances, her work deals with issues related to queer and postcolonial politics.
Marta Popivoda (1982, Serbia) is a video artist and freelance cultural worker living in Belgrade and Berlin. She is part
of the TkH collective of theorists and artists, which deals with the problematics of performance paradigm in art, culture
and theory.
Lars Bang Larsen (1972, Denmark) is an art historian at the University of Copenhagen. He focuses on art from the
1960s, contemporary experimental art practices and their impacts on culture at large. In 2005, he co-curated
“Populism,” an exhibition and accompanying reader exploring the relationship between contemporary art and populist
political and cultural ideologies.
Writer, playwright and visual artist, Jean-Charles Massera (1965, France) uses multiple artistic forms such as fiction,
theatrical work, performance, songs, as well as visual art to deal with the processes of the everyday alienation within
the contemporary political paradigm of consumerist democracy.
Critical Voices will be ending up with Anselm Franke’s (DE, *1978) lecture Figur-Grund / Figure-Ground.
MONIKA HUMM: GLOBAL 2012 (WORK-IN-PROGRESS)
NOVEMBER 05, 2012 TO NOVEMBER 28, 2012
Monika Humm’s starting point is painting over photographs. RAW employees are invited to contribute their own photo
material on the topic of city sights and urban space, their input making them an active part of creating the exhibition:
the collected photos are digitally modified in an artistic process and integrated in new works. By weaving personal
souvenir photos and artistic abstraction, a new approach to city landscapes is created. The artist will be working one
afternoon per week at the exhibition site. The works are available for viewing at the RAW showroom anytime in
between. The project will be presented in its final form at the closing celebrations.
Closing celebrations: November, 28, 2012, from 6pm.
Where: In the foyer of the department of labor and economic developement, Herzog-Willhelm- Str. 15
Opening hours: Mon-Thurs 8am-6pm; Fri 8am-3pm (visible from outdoors anytime)
ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PRESENTATION: ELENA BAJO - "THE ABSENCE OF WORK"

Kollektiv für situatives Handeln "Artistic Spirit"
The project “Künstlergeist” [Artistic Spirit] brought to you by the "Kollektiv für situatives Handeln" invites the
employees at the Department of Labor and Economic Development to discover the topic “artistic spirit” through a
physical experience in an experimental medical environment. The exploration of the “artistic spirit” as a mythic element
of the artistic process questions what the artist actually is and how much of the artist’s work is genius or learned.
The artists Birthe Blauth, Annegret Bleisteiner, Jutta Burkhardt und Cornelia Oßwald-Hoffmann create in their
installation a medical atmosphere. As in a medical surrounding common the employees of the Department of Labor and
Economic Development can make an appointment to get the Artistic Spirit transferred.
Opening: September, 19, 012
Where: In the foyer of the department of labor and economic development, Herzog-Wilhelm-Str. 15

B∃SETZT – Discourse on Art, Politics and Aesthetics
JULY 05, 2012 TO AUGUST 04, 2012
International Video Call
What effects does this occupying have on artistic forms of expression? Is this establishing a new, artistic aesthetic of
criticism? How is art taking up public space? How is it influencing urban or social infrastructures by doing this? With
“B∃SETZT” PLATFORM3 would like to get to the bottom of all these questions. Therefore the Call for Videos was being
issued to ALL city strollers who have discovered something special on this topic in their city. The submissions should
focus on the urban, public surroundings, in the sense that artistic occupying strategies create interfaces with the
everyday, thereby yielding new perspectives. These insights into various cities and countries illustrate the most diverse
strategies with which art and creativity occupy their space.
PLATFORM3 proudly presents the winner of the International Video Call:
"and to the city" von Vienne Chan
The jury statement:
The contribution “and to the city” by artist Vienne Chan captivates with the multifacetedness of the political and social
backgrounds as well as the subtle aesthetic that silently fascinates the spectator. Her artistic endeavors on Tel Aviv are
based not only on current protest movements but also the city’s past. Using sign language, the artist projects the verse
“and the city no beginning and no end” from an Israeli poem of the 1950s onto an exterior wall. By referencing the
poem, which addresses urban development, Vienne Chan metaphorically stages the duality between upheaval and
borders, advancement and limitation. The small gesture of a projection takes up space – the notion of boundlessness
occupies the city. In “and to the city” Vienne Chan unites poetry and protest as well as art and urban space in a
convincing way, integrating herself in the overall concept of the project “B∃SETZT – Discourse on Art, Politics and
Aesthetics”.

B∃SETZT – Discourse on Art, Politics and Aesthetics
JULY 04, 2012 TO AUGUST 04, 2012
Having begun on Wall Street, Occupations are extending as a non-verbal expression of protest across the globe. In
contrast to conventional demonstrations, Occupy sheds light on ground-breaking ways of practicing democracy,
thereby also bestowing the public expression of criticism with a new, collective aesthetic. Yet what impact will
Occupying have on artistic forms of expression? How does art occupy the public space?
On the 4th of July at 7pm PLATFORM3 opens its program series “B∃SETZT – Discourse on Art, Politics and
Aesthetics“: with a room installation, a video montage of contributions sent from across the globe, talks, open
discussion rounds as well as a subsequent publication PLATFORM3 addresses the complex relationship between forms
of art and politics.
July 5 –August 4: “sweatroom”
An international artistic collective – ensuing from members of the existing“Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt” Marcel
Hiller, Michael Dobrindt, Max Schulze, Markus Hahn and Sebastian Walther – has formed especially for this
project. At the moment of being in the situation and working together, a location-specific installation emerges, which
simultaneously transforms the exhibition space into a “sweat room”, art work and forum for discussion. Similar to an
Occupation, various artistic as well as theoretical approaches are united here in one space.
*Notice: Part of the artist collective "Künstlergruppe Kulturobjekt" will open another exhibition under the title
"Tektonika" at Kunstverein Nürnberg (opening July 6, 6.30pm)
July 18, 7 pm: Talk by specialist Simon Teune “Protest as Occupation. On the Aesthetics of a Bottom-up
Politics”, concluding with an open discussion on the topic “Occupy in Munich?”
Simon Teune is a protest researcher and scholarship PhD. student at the Social Science Research Center Berlin (WZB).
Apart from his research on communication strategies of groups critical of globalization, Simon Teune has also explored
the worldwide consequences of the Occupy movement.
Curated by: Anabel Roque Rodriguez, Carina Essl, Karen Klauke.
In cooperation with:
STEFANIE UNRUH - TAUSCHLEIHE
MAY 24, 2012 TO JUNE 27, 2012
In "Tauschleihe" the mutual interaction between the artist and spectator forms the core of the piece. Both direct
dialogue and the exchange of everyday items and works of art are elementary components of the artistic creative
process. The employees of RAW have agreed to house an artwork by Stefanie Unruh at their place of business for a
limited amount of time, and in return they are showing a decorative object from their office in the exhibition space.
Eliminating the borders between art and everyday life generates not only new intellectual inspiration; it should also
offer concrete points of contact with the fine arts.
The exhibition is visible from outdoors anytime until July 13.
EDITION TAUBE: DON'T LOOK NOW
MAY 17, 2012 TO JUNE 06, 2012
The publisher and artist collective Edition Taube (Jonas Beuchert, Jan Steinbach, Tilman Schlevogt) has conceived a
new video installation for PLATFORM3 that addresses the production and reception of books: “Don’t look now”
explores and negotiates the relationship between author and reader from prevailing viewpoints. To depict the currently
shifting power relationships in the medium of the book, the collective reinvents terms like “editor” and “receiver”. The
“editor” in this case comprises the functions of author, publisher or graphic designers. The “receiver” is the addressee,
reader and recipient.
Parallel to the development of the printed word into virtual text, our involvement with the book as a medium is also
changing. The codes that the user originally learned are no longer effective. Edition Taube deals with the shifting of the
author and reader roles and the resulting new interfaces between them using graphically modified books. “Don't look
now” unites possible approaches to the re-medialisation of the book in terms of graphics as well as content.
A PUBLIC MOMENT. EXHIBITION, OPEN STUDIOS, PROGRAMME OF EVENTS
MARCH 24, 2012 TO APRIL 28, 2012
For PLATFORM3's 3rd anniversary, the international artist Franck Leibovici (*1975, France) initiated a research dealing
with artists' "forms of life" and "ecosystems" produced by an artistic practice:
"Let us assume that an artwork cannot be reduced to an object, but rather it encompasses gestures the artist has
conceived specifically for it, repeating actions, ethical views, political decisions and economic considerations in this
project we understand all of this as the "form of life" of an artwork, its entirely unique ecosystem."
An experimental exhibition situation locates and connects the individual positions by means of a set of 34 keywords.
Starting from these keywords, one can compose customized thematic tours through a total of 20 open studios at
PLATFOM3. A Public Moment strives to examine the relationship artist-work-spectator by means of opening up the
landscape of the artistic process for the viewer.
The exhibition features: Jess Walter, Johannes Karl, Patricia Lincke, Annegret Bleisteiner, Nikolai Vogel, Ute Heim,
Silvia Wienefoet, Brigitta Reuter, Hubert Hasler, Anne Wodtcke, Nicola Hanke, Monika Humm, Nana Dix, Jessica
Kallage-Götze, Ryo Kawasaki, Susanne Thiemann, Stefanie Unruh and Silke Markefka

ARTIST IN RESIDENCY -PRESENTATION: JUAN DUQUE "MEDIATION"
JANUARY 26, 2012 TO FEBRUARY 18, 2012
Juan Duque's own constant displacement allows him to inhabit multiple worlds, multiple places, multiple borders and
multiple temporalities simultaneously. Taking the place of an outsider, an observer in the field, the artist is interested
in revealing which processes and actions take place parallel to the daily routine in the peripheral context of
PLATFORM3: Distortion, fragmentation, repetition, dislocation, translation and accumulation are all irregularities that
emerge in the gaps of a city's fixed, efficient and stringent infrastructure. Their dynamic, almost organic condition
raises questions about the relationship s between memory, temporality and space in the context of generic industrial
clusters.
The title of the project, Mediation, refers to a position in the context of a negotiation.
The outcome of a two-month residency at PLATFORM3, the exhibition proposes an open form of dialogue with the
spectator: showing a wide range of media from photographs to video and in situ installation, it sets the scene for an
encounter, possible entanglement and transfer of (the memory or traces of) other possible landscapes. In the
exhibition space, the arrangement of objects as well as processes used for capturing and transferring traces and
images allow for multiple associations that tear down the perceptual paradigm of "inside" vs. "outside". The works' site
specificity arouses awareness for the precarious nature of urban space, as opposed to the hierarchical organization and
imposed structural functionality of urban planning and architecture.
Juan Duque (*1974, CO) is an architect, urban designer and artist who holds a master’s degree obtained at Sint-Lukas,
Brussels. His site-specific practice led him to realize projects in various countries in Europe, including UK, Austria,
Spain, the Netherlands and Germany. He participated in the group exhibitions “No Soul for Sale” in Tate Modern, UK
(2010) and “Nomadic Settlers – Settled Nomads” in Kunstraum Kreuzberg, Berlin (2011). He lives and works in Ghent,
Belgium.

JANUARY 26, 2012 TO FEBRUARY 18, 2012
opening: January, 25th, 2012, 7 p.m
PLATFORM3 presents Juan Duque's first solo exhibition in Germany. During his two-month residency in Munich, the
artist conceived a series of site-specific works with perishable, fleeting materials: paper, photography and video. He
subverts the conventional urban reality of the periphery and examines it for natural phenomena, like wind, rain or
vegetation which create fractures in urban areas and their stringently organized infrastructure. Juan Duque selected a
conveying position in a process which is constantly redefining the borders between “inside” and “outside”, “natural”
and “urban”, as well as “nomadism” and “identity”.
Juan Duque lives and works in Ghent, Belgium. His residency in Munich is the result of a cooperation between the
Belgian artist-studio-programme Nucleo and PLATFORM3.

PLATFORM3 2012 : SEE (TO) IT - A QUEST FOR ARTISTIC PRACTICES TO INCLUDE THE VIEWER
JANUARY 01, 2012 TO DECEMBER 31, 2012
In all our 2012 projects, PLATFORM3 attempts to break apart the widespread theory of the passive spectator – not
through preprogrammed participation, but rather through various strategies of making public the genesis of a
project. In this way the audience is no longer an unpredictable variable appearing at the conclusion of the artistic
production process, but an integrative component of every artistic project – whether exhibition, performance or lecture
series.
The “fourth wall” exists in theatres, and in museums works are separated from visitors by barriers, vitrines and
security guards. Strategies – both spatial and symbolic – to overcome the barriers to the viewer shape the 20th and
beginning of the 21st Century: artists as well as institutional agents and curators actively seek an encounter with the
audience, even if this does not always take place on an equal footing or under egalitarian conditions.
The viewer, respectively the audience, is and remains the unpredictable variable in every artistic project: with the
selection of specific artistic positions, or names of curators as well as by means of the exhibition context, it is possible
to anticipate theperception of the audience to a certain degree. In the face of the artwork, however, the individual,
the actual exhibition visitor remains incapable of being influenced – and is in advance unreachable. How they approach
the work, with which means they grasp it, is always an experiment. Works, according to French writer Alain RobbeGrillet, can also be read against the intention of the author. This is especially true for all contemporary art which is
dedicated to more experimental, aesthetic forms and that breaks from the genre principle.
Would it not therefore be interesting to include the audience right from the very beginning? From the very conception
of the project, to generate interest in the public, to seek an exchange with those who will later appear behind the
fourth wall, behind the barriers, as a visitor?
However, the general direction of art during the modern period is – surprisingly – initially the opposite: with the
increasing professionalism of artists as well as through the structural organisation of the “artworld” (P. Bourdieu, A.
Danto) as a relatively hermetic system, little by little the spectator is ousted from the production context. Through
strategies of participation and relational aesthetics (N. Bourriaud), the viewer is now increasingly making a comeback
once again.
The return of the viewer is, however, not what it seems: the viewer, according to Jacques Rancière, was never
physically or intellectually ‘absent’. In fact viewing is not a strictly contemplative moment. Someone who sits in a
chair and follows an artistic act is not automatically behaving in a passive way. So perhaps viewers do not have to be
freed from their apparent rigidity through emotionally charged messages and offensively formulated invitations at all.
On the contrary: Seeing is always an active, individually shaped act to perceive and analyse reality. From the entirety
of his impressions and associations, references and experiences, the observer construes his/her most personal visual
experience. Limiting it to viewing is not sacrificing the analysis of meaning. In the opposite way, the imperative of
taking part does not guarantee the active involvement of the viewers with what is happening.
Participation takes many forms – participative art projects are simply the most obvious, most widespread of them all
today. In all PLATFORM3 projects in the year 2012 the viewer as individual, and the audience as the entire public, is
therefore the origin of an artistic idea, not just its target.
DRAWING A LINE | VOM WIDER-STEHEN
DECEMBER 08, 2011 TO DECEMBER 22, 2011
Opening: December 7, 2011, 7pm
Opening Hours:
Dezember 8 - Dezember 15, 2011, Mon-Sat 11am-7pm, Wed 12-20h
December 16 - December 22, 2011, Mon-Fri 12am-7pm, Sat and Sun closed
with Ehud Darash/ Na'ama Landau, Falk Haberkorn, Andreas Sell
research project with Antifun, Gürsoy Dogtas, Lisa Erb, Ehud Darash/ Na'ama Landau, Helga Lutz, Falk
Haberkorn, Wilma Renfordt, Uzrukki Schmidt/ Helene Hellmich, Andreas Sell
The exhibition and research project Drawing a line | Vom Wider-Stehen is dedicated to moments of pausing, of
waiting and stasis, of stagnation and of hesitation. They stand in opposition to the ideal of continuous progress, growth
and stringency. The focus here is on the entire spectrum these moments can have: from ‘Wider-Stehen’ (literally ‘with
standing’) in everyday things and situations and in one’s own work, all the way to with-stand prevailing structures and
political systems. Simultaneously the question of the future is raised, so what the ‘next step’, what progress, is.
Drawing a line | Vom Wider-Stehen questions these moments, depicting linearity as a figment of the imagination.
It addresses going astray, doubt and supposed stagnation, and recognises these as completely unique, resistive and
productive elements.
Bildatlas
The Bildatlas is a research and production tool deployed for the exhibition. It serves the purpose of making the artistic
and curatorial process accessible and able to be visualised. At the same time it sets itself apart from the illusion of
linear progress. It creates an open structure, making it possible to be observed while searching for the embodiment of
form.
Exhibition
Drawing a line conceives of ‘Wider-Stehen’ as an uprise against established structures. The exhibition brings together
artists distinguished by their resistive thinking and actions as well as their ability to be critical. In questioning the
resistive potential of art, the artists have conceptualised new works especially for this exhibition which challenge social,
political or physical “regularities”.
Research Project
The research project Vom Wider-Stehen is a loose collection associated with the term ‘with-stand’ as a moment of
stasis and vacuum. People of differing fields are invited to contribute miniatures. With the varying methods and
thematic approaches, the collection itself is able to resist linearity and contingency. It can be viewed by visitors during
the opening hours of the exhibition.

ART CENTRES- CITY MARGINS: BEST PRACTICE, SHARED EXPERIENCE
NOVEMBER 28, 2011 - 07:00 PM
As closing event of the programme series Art Centres - City margins, PLATFORM3 hosts a round table which will
investigate artistic and curatorial practice in the urban periphery of European metropolises together with the following
guests:


ART CENTRES- CITY MARGINS: BEST PRACTICE, SHARED EXPERIENCE
NOVEMBER 28, 2011 - 07:00 PM
All art spaces participating in the panel share a strong interest in artistic production, taking into consideration the
geographic as well as the social context they exist in. Rather than focusing on collecting and preserving art, they tend
to be research- and process based. For institutions located at the urban periphery, networking is a key element to
extend their practice into the city's core institutions, andto create exchange with curators and professionals in the
"centre". Additional information on the participating spaces and projects:
Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers are a tool dedicated to artistic research. The modalities of each residency adapt
themselves to the hosted proposals.
P74 is a non-profit project space founded by the artist and curator Tadej Pogačar. Activities include exhibition projects
as well as publishing.
HALLE 14 is an independent, non-profit art space in Leipzig, hosting exhibitions and a library.
The Shedhalle, located on the grounds of the Rote Fabric in Zurich, is an art space that tests and develops new forms
of artistic practice.

Stefan Wischnewski - busy
Exhibition in the showroom of RAW (Department of Labor and Economic Development), Herzog-Wilhelm-Str. 15
For his new project, Stefan Wischnewski will be moving his work studio, materials and tools, in particular his so called
“Nähflügel”, a hybrid of piano and sewing machine, into the gallery space. Using mostly recycled work clothing, the
artist will work there three days a week and create a site-specific patchwork installation: visitors to the gallery are
encouraged to look on as the work takes shape.
The artists working hours are Tue from 10am to 6pm.
Finissage: 23. November, 18h.
The showroom of the Referat für Arbeit und Wirtschaft is in Herzog-Wilhelm-Str. 15, U3/U6 Sendlinger Tor or U4/U5/S
Karlsplatz (Stachus).

VERDECKTE ADRESSATEN
In Memoriam Anneliese Knoop-Graf
The second part of a curatorial project on the relationship between information and the public; with contributions
by Katrin Mayer and the artist group Metahaven; curated by Doreen Mende and Axel J. Wieder
Opening: November 8, 2011
7pm Opening Speech | Lichthof LMU
7:30pm Artist talk with Katrin Mayer | DenkStätte Weiße Rose
PLATFORM3 is delighted to present a joint project initiated by the White Rose Foundation e.V., which explores the role
of pamphlets as a means of political resistance. Verdeckte Adressaten examines historical forms of media
communication as well as the distribution paths of regime-critical content, with the goal of transposing them into the
present and developing new artistic formats to house them.
The design and research studio Metahaven (NL) initiates a large scale mailing campaign. In the letters generated by
Metahaven, the recipient will find enclosed a “credit card,” whose one side has a mirror finish, and whose other side is
magnetized. With their surfaces that have opposite effects, these cards become carriers of a compelling paradox. This
artistic intervention will be documented in an exhibition at the Weiße Rose memorial site.
Katrin Mayer (D) is conducting a research project that will culminate in a brochure. Her research focuses on
oppositional behavior and activities by youth during the Nazi era and draws on recent studies that reveal a richer, more
nuanced image of resistance during the Third Reich. Special attention is given to counter-culture youth clubs that have
been all but forgotten in the post-war history of the Federal Republic of Germany, for example the Swing Jugend, the
Edelweißpiraten, the Blasen etc.
This project was initiated in memory of Dr. h.c. Anneliese Knoop-Graf. She was the younger sister of Willi Graf, one of
the members of the Weiße Rose murdered by the Gestapo, and worked tirelessly until her death on August 27th, 2009
to further the legacy of the Weiße Rose. In his farewell letter on the day of his execution on October 12, 1943, Willi
Graf asked his sister to convey one last wish to their friends: "They must continue what we have started."

PETER DOWNSBROUGH
Peter Downsbrough's black and white photographs both neutralize and refresh our view of the urban landscape peripheral or central, residential or industrial neighborhoods; here, architectural spaces are transformed into sites
where one can experience an altered perception of time and space, a perception that finds its three-dimensional
counterpart in Downsbrough's other work - in this case, a room and a wall piece. The artist book AS SET will be
published on the occasion.
Opening: Oct. 26 th, 7 p.m, PLATFORM3.
Exhibition: Oct 27th -Nov 19th, Mo-Sa 11 11 a.m -7 p.m; We 12 a.m- 8 p.m. On view are a new series of photgraphs
shot in Munich as well as a Room Piece.
Publication: The book "AS SET" (free limited edition) will be published on this occasion.
Film screening: Oct. 27th, 7 p.m, Filmmuseum München, St. Jakobsplatz 1. A selection of recent work will be on
view. Introduction to the artist's work by curator Moritz Küng.
Since the 1960s, Peter Downsbrough has been one of the leading figures in the field of conceptual art. At the core of
his explorations are space and the relationship between architecture, language and typography. Besides being featured
at documenta 6, Downsborough’s sculptures, interventions, photographs, films and books have been celebrated in a
number of international exhibitions in the last several years. The artist’s first artistic dialogue with Munich took place
twenty years ago, with his work "Open Column" for the Glyptothek, followed by a series of photographs of the city
published in the local newspaper Abendzeitung. PLATFORM3 is delighted to welcome Peter Downsborough back to
Munich in 2011.
In the context of this commissioned project, he is exploring the city’s urban periphery starting out from our site in
Obersendling. The artist’s photographic research and his walking expeditions of the city have resulted in a series of
twenty-five photographs accompanied by a film, in which urban space is portrayed as an entity that is not only
structured in and of itself, but that also enforces structure on its members. Seen through Downsborough’s lens, both
the architecture in its physical mass and form as well as the city’s linear gridlike space exude a formal austerity: Here
is a city formed by aesthetic habits and architectural order, a city that is both a construct as well as a system that
actively imposes order. Its flow is tightly controlled, its procedures are closely regulated. The exhibition space itself is
also part of this examination.
Peter Downsbrough’s site-specific installation Room Piece acts as a counterpart to his photographs, designating the
PLATFORM3 venue as a ‚legible’ space. A grid made of words, of adverbs describing time and space, covers the walls of
the exhibition gallery and opens up new physical and associative ways for the observer to experience this locale. Peter
Downsborough has been featured in Munich a number of times, first with his project "Open Column" commissioned by
the Glyptothek München (1991), followed by his series of photographs of the city that were published in the local
newspaper AZ (Abendzeitung) in the 1990s. Most recently, the artist’s work was included in an exhibition on the
conceptual art collector Herman Daled at the Haus der Kunst (05/2010). This one-man exhibition brings the
international artist back to Munich.

ART CENTRES - CITY MARGINS: ART AT THE PERIPHERY OF EUROPEAN METROPOLISES
Together with international curators, project partners and artists, PLATFORM3 is exploring the conditions of art
production and curatorial practice at the outer edges of Europe's cities. Art spaces from France, Switzerland and
Slovenia participating in this project share a strong interest in specific types of artistic and curatorial practice, taking
into consideration the geographic as well as the social context they are dealing with. An international panel will
discuss strategies for artistic and cultural production and presentation within Art centres located on City margins.
Aperformance by Jennifer Lacey aims at creating an aesthetic experience within the framework of a series of
individual “beauty” treatments open to everybody. Finally, an exhibition by Peter Downsbrough projects the spectator
into the surrounding areas of PLATFORM3, where the artist took a series of new photographs.
Mobile Archive: „I don’t know what to do with climate change, so I wear a new dress and come
here.“ – Meka Maratova
Karin Bergdolt
Adorned with a warning west, a performance artist makes interventions in the streets of Munich: she engages passersby in conversations about climate change, she distributes bibliographical lists and postcards to spread and continue the
dialogue. Her work is to spread the information and increase the dialogue on this timely topic.
The mobile archive is part of the project ClimateSights – organized by PLATFORM3 and WECF in September 2011.,
Oct. 19, 2011, 6:30 p.m (lecture starts at 7.30 p.m) TU Munich, Room 1100 Arcisstraße 21, Munich
Conceived by artist Karin Bergdolt, the "mobile archive" resonates an international workshop on the topic of climate
change. For the workshop, artists from Bosnia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Germany, as well as scientists
from different disciplines, were invited to discuss climate change, working together to develop artistic responses. Karin
Bergdolt’s mobile archive looks back at the project, documenting and transforming it into her own artistic response.
The mobile archive will be present at a number of different events taking place in Munich as part of the city-wide
celebration Klimaherbst.
CLIMATE SIGHTS. Artistic Examinations on Climate Change. WORKSHOP
SEPTEMBER 04, 2011 TO SEPTEMBER 14, 2011
ClimateSights. Artistic Examinations on Climate Change is an artistic experiment. It is a workshop, think tank
and platform for artistic research and production. As a collaboration between the NGO Women in Europe for a Common
Future (WECF) and the art project PLATFORM3 – Spaces for Contemporary Art, CLIMATE SIGHTS focuses on the topic
of climate change, proposing a dialogue between the arts, science and society. CLIMATE SIGHTS renegotiates the
current alarming situation through artistic methods and proposes new approaches and future concepts for dealing with
contemporary global challenges.
ClimateSights is interested in the specific regional characteristics of dealing with these topics, both in everyday life
and in artistic practice. Artists from different cultural backgrounds, namely Central Asia, Bosnia and Germany, are
invited to research the actual topic, to develop concrete future scenarios, alternative models and trendsetting artistic
concepts that deal with the causes and challenges of climate change in their particular surroundings.

Freedom of opinion means that anyone can express their opinion openly. This assumes, however, that one actually has
an opinion, and it also includes the right to abstain from making a statement. How does this 'freedom' manifest itself in
Munich? What happens when opinions are given center stage?
With a Complaints Choir Workshop, a series of different events and formats, a film work and installations in public
space, the festival will stage opinion being voiced and examined with a critical eye. It will take free speech literally and
will make opinions visible and audible, which also means to open the term 'freedom' up for discussion. In this context
the festival will draw the connection from Munich to Cairo and the so called 'Generation Tahrir' (an allusion to the main
site of the Egyptian Revolution), where the term 'freedom of expression' has recently taken on a whole new meaning.

GASTKÜNSTLER MARIJAN CRTALIC
JULY 10, 2011 TO AUGUST 20, 2011
Marijan Crtalic’s works are based on an intense exploration of his places of residence. He scrutinizes these locations
through the lens of their respective histories, as well as placing them in the context of current political and social
issues. These issues are voiced and are made accessible through the artist’s interactive projects, interventions and
performances. During his residency in Munich, Marijan Crtalic will apply his location-based approach to this city and its
topographies.
This Residency launches the new Residency Program within the network SWAP, which was developed by the
Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich and connects a number of partners across Europe. Marijan Crtali’s
residency is made possible by the kind support of the Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich.
Marijan Crtalic’s works are based on an intense exploration of his places of residence. He scrutinizes these locations
through the lens of their respective histories, as well as placing them in the context of current political and social
issues. These issues are voiced and are made accessible through the artist’s interactive projects, interventions and
performances. One such project was „Communication Games,“ where the artist opened a new line of communication
between Zagreb and Belgrade using video and audio broadcasting techniques. With the help of live streaming that was
set up in public areas, pedestrians from both cities could choose to establish contact with each other across the
distance, or they could simply observe everyday life in the streets of the other city. „Communication Games“
represents an artistic connection between two cities that were once separated by war and conflict.
During his residency in Munich, Marijan Crtalic will apply his location-based approach to this city and its topographies.
He intends to focus on the social and cultural particularities of life on Munich’s periphery, in particular the „relations
between local people and immigrants, relations between tradition and modernity, industry, crafts and culture.“ During
his residency, Marijan Crtali will create an intervention in Munich’s public space.

DIS/PLAY/GROUND. Exhibitions on sites of creative practice: famed & osa (office for subversive
architecture)
JULY 07, 2011 TO JULY 20, 2011
An exhibition – the side-by side presentation of different artistic positions – has many components: besides the
objects, their artistic creation, and the curatorial vision that contextualizes them, the architectural and institutional
space in which they are presented also plays an integral role. dis/play/ground uses various means to explore the
spatial parameters that shape exhibitions.
Sites of creative practice are places where the production, presentation and dissemination of contemporary art occurs
under one roof, together with the evaluation of creative processes and the negotiation of the various themes addressed
by the works. As a research project, DIS/PLAY/GROUND uses different methods to explore how these places use space,
how they treat issues surrounding display, exhibition space and exhibition design. Attention will first turn to
PLATFORM3’s own site: artists and architects have been asked to survey its architectural and institutional
characteristics, and to create works based on their findings.
DIS/PLAY/GROUND is presenting works by:

osa - office for subversive architecture (for osa in Munich:
Oliver Langbein and Anke Strittmatter)
www.osa-online.net
OPENING AND PRESENTATION: July 6, 2011, 7pm
DIS/PLAY/GROUND ongoing:
Following a further trajectory, dis/play/ground will expand its research field, moving from the PLATFORM3 site to
include other, similarly structured sites throughout german speaking areas. What does the exchange/comparison
between PLATFORM3 and other similar sites tell us about current ways of exhibiting contemporary art, and what
tendencies can be observed? dis/play/ground is a work in progress. Check for updated findings and information, soon
to be posted on www. platform3.de.

from twenty-one different Turkish melodrama films dating from 1964 throughout 1978. These films and in particular
the crying scenes are of crucial significance for the Turkish popular cinema or Yeşilçam. Yeşilçam refers to the Turkish
film industry in the same way that Hollywood refers to American film and dominated the Turkish cinema sector
especially in the 1950s and 80s. In 1966 Turkey was 4th, just behind India in world film production with 238 films.
The Rotterdam-based artist Asli Toy is in-residency at PLATFORM3. Her stay in Munich was made possible due to a
cooperation between TENT Rotterdam and PLATFORM3, on the occasion of this year’s TENT-ACADEMY Awards. The
artist created and presents a new work in Munich.
The guest-studio is supported by the Department of Arts and Culture.
In cooperation with TENT Rotterdam and E324 Munich.
Opening hours: continuous
E324 | Raum für Kunst is located in Gabelsbergerstraße 65; U2 Theresienstraße.

PLATFORM3 Futures
MARCH 19, 2011 TO APRIL 13, 2011
In celebration of its second anniversary, PLATFORM3 presents "Futures". This ambiguous term evokes two different,
seemingly incongruous spheres that are brought together by the current multidisciplinary project: for one, it refers to
the vibrant and fluctuating financial trade market with its economization of time; while on the other hand, 'Futures' in
the plural invites the projection of various possible cultural scenarios in the coming years.
PLATFORM3 Futures opens on March 19th, 7pm:
The group show features the work of 32 artists within a specially conceived exhibition space. Christine Czaika
(Berlin/Graz) has created a display system that ties together the various different media represented at
PLATFORM3: Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Drawing, Installation, Video and Publications/Printed Matter. These will
be presented side-by-side and sometimes grouped thematically, without denying each individual work its own
autonomy.
On March 19th and 20th, visitors will have the special opportunity to take a closer look at the creative process that takes
place every day in the art spaces of PLATFORM3. During Open Studios, the artists will open their private work studies
for personal visits - walk-ins will be welcome! There will also be guided, thematictours of the studios that give a
comprehensive overview of the various works in progress. Upon request, tours can be taylored to individual interests.
The exhibition features: Jovana Banjac, Vinicio Bastidas, Annegret Bleisteiner, Rita de Muynck, Nana Dix, Ina Ettlinger,
Nicola Hanke, hb lankowitz, Ute Heim, Margarete Hentze, Monika Humm, Jens Kabisch, Jessica Kallage-Götze,
Johannes Karl, Ryo Kawasaki, Silke Markefka, Siyoung Kim, Patricia Lincke, Frank Maier, Nina Märkl, Marc Melchior,
Masayo Oda, Wolfgang Stehle, James Sutherland, Susanne Thiemann, Stefanie Unruh, Nikolai Vogel, Walter Jess,
Christian Weiß, Silvia Wienefoet, Stefan Wischnewski and Anne Wodtcke.
Visitors are also invited to attend the special events during the open studio weekend organized by the artists based on

Murmurs from the Future
MARCH 10, 2011 TO MARCH 11, 2011
Screening – Lecture – Discussion – Screening
With worldwide economic and political changes happening at breakneck speed, new technological forms of
communication being developed almost on a weekly basis, and philosophical orientations shifting continually, we are
becoming actors and witnesses of radical upheavals.
Horst Seehofer’s proclamation that “multiculturalism is dead,” as well as David Cameron’s summary of what he calls
the Islamic “process of radicalization,” which he presented during the Munich security conference in February, give rise
to the need for interrogating Germany’s definition of ‘identity:’
Murmurs of the Future is an invitation to explore these questions together.

Murmurs from the Future: what comes after Identity?
Lecture – Discussion – Screening at PLATFORM3
This event is free of charge.
6pm Lecture by Edgar Schmitz
The artist and theoretician Edgar Schmitz will present the idea of an ‘intensified identity denial’ by using the film
treatise Get Rid of Yourself by the Bernadette Corporation (2003) as a backdrop. In their film, the artist group has
created a spatial diagram that reaches from their vacation spot at the beach to the violent streets of Geneva during the
G8 Protests in 2001. In his lecture, Schmitz engages philosophical concepts developed by Giorgio Agamben and
Antonio Negri as well as Jacques Rancière.
In a discussion following the lecture, Maxa Zoller und Edgar Schmitz will invite the audience to trace the existence of a
so-called ‘glocal’ identity – between global and local – here in Munich.
7:30 pm film screening: Identitätswechsel (‘change of identity’)
The film program Identitätswechsel explores different answers to the question of identity in a world defined by the
prefix ‘post.’ Three artistic video works document the ways in which identity changes in the face of global political and
economic upheavals.

Jess Walter: OHIO'65
FEBRUARY 17, 2011 TO MARCH 25, 2011
Exhibition in the showroom of RAW (Referat für Arbeit und Wirtschaft), Herzog-Wilhelm-Str. 15
PLATFORM3 is launching its series of 2011 satellite exhibitions with a monumental linocut on painted canvas that
seems to take up the entire RAW showroom. In this work from Jess Walter’s 1994 series, “OHIO’65,” the artist draws
out all the stops to heighten a sense of self-display, public disclosure and the gaze. The showcase-like exhibition space
is echoed by a vitrine of drawings, and a sense of photographic „ready exposure“ culminates in an over-life-sized
rendering of an open car trunk that takes up more than half of the wall. Yet things stop short at a void created by the
blackened interior of the trunk, and we are reminded that disclosure, self-presentation and excessive exposure are
indelibly linked to concealment and denied access.
Exhibition Opening: Feb. 16th, 2011, 6:30pm.
Opening Hours: Mon-Thurs, 8am-6pm, Fr 8am-3pm.
(the exhibition space is always visible from the outside)
Jess Walter: OHIO'65
In his “OHIO’65” series from the mid nineties, Jess Walter explores the daily lives of Germans who had chosen to
immigrate to Cincinnati in the U.S. The motifs used in these linocuts are based on snapshots taken by emigres who felt
they had successfully „arrived“ in their new land, and wanted such pictures to demonstrate their privileged status and
high standard of living to their relatives back home.

In 2011, the RAW showroom will host four exhibitions organized by PLATFORM3, acting as a satellite for contemporary
art. In keeping with the broad range of artistic production that takes place at PLATFORM3, the RAW exhibition series
will feature various different formats, discourses, and critical exchanges, making different facets of contemporary art
more accessible to the public.

SPARE TIME, GREAT WORK. HAFRIYAT at PLATFORM3
DECEMBER 02, 2010 TO JANUARY 12, 2011
Hafriyat, a cutting edge Istanbul artist group, has been invited to test out PLATFORM3 as a site of artistic production
and presentation. By means of a “self-curated” exhibition and an artist talk the visual-arts based
collective Hafriyat will immerse the city of Munich in an exciting dialogue with their hometown Istanbul.
Opening: Mon-Sat 11am-7pm, Wed 12am-8pm
Hafriyat means “construction debris and fundament“ in Turkish. By adopting this name, the Istanbul artist collective
has positioned itself in a critical stance towards the ambivalent working and living conditions in their hometown. The
changing collaborations within the collective and with outside performance artists attest to the flexibility of the Istanbul
art scene. In 2007, Hafriyat opened a new exhibition- and project space in Istanbul’s Karaköy quarter, known for its
ubiquitous car repair shops and brothels. Despite having to face ongoing censorship and repeated confrontations with
government authorities, Hafriyat has been active as an influential artistic and political platform for over 15 years.
The artists Murat Akagündüz, Antonio Cosentino, İnci Furni, Ayhan Hacıfazlioğlu, Mustafa Pancar and Ekin Saçlıoğlu
participate in the exhibition. For more information about this artist group, please visit the
website www.hafriyatkarakoy.com
As part of the cultural exchange project Byzantion Reloaded, Hafriyat has been invited to spend time at the
international artist residence Villa Waldberta (Kulturreferat München), where they will explore the vivid contrasts
between the two cities of Munich and Istanbul. In the resulting exhibition/performance project "Spare Time, Great
Work" on the PLATFORM3 site, this artist group will present their artistic statements with the goal of stimulating
intercultural dialogue.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS - IRREGULAR ART PRACTICES IN THE CITY
PLATFORM3 – Spaces For Contemporary Art will host an international workshop that collects perspectives on the
complex theme of “Art and the Public Sphere“, from the 27th to the 30th of October 2010. The practice of temporary
use, that makes a formerly private place a public one, and potential artistic intervention, will be on the discussion
agenda.
Reflecting the workshop's topic of temporary artistic intervention in public spaces, the exhibition "Bucharest Munich: Re-reading the city" by Romanian artist Anca Benera will be on display: Upon invitation of PLATFORM3,
the artist will search the city for temporary -and randomly created- artistic situations that are being photographed and
thus documented.
Exhibition: Oct, 28th to Nov, 17th, 2010

The workshop is an element of the ongoing project "Hot Spots - What comes after Oil?".
As an element of the ongoing project, “HOT SPOTS – What comes after Oil?“, the petrol station embodies the starting
point for a series of questioning processes based on the public sphere, participation and artistic intervention. The
location of a petrol station represent an example of the public possession becoming private: The creation of public
awareness through a temporary intervention in this location makes visible the process of privatisation of the universal
good that is oil.
The workshop combines artistic and site-specific perspectives; it links theoretical examples with practical experience
and includes visits of temporary artistic and cultural projects in Munich.

Bucharest - Munich: Re-reading the city
PLATFORM3 hosts an exhibition by Romanian artist Anca Benera (*1977): starting in 2008 on the occasion of the
4th Bucharest Biennial, Benera carries out research into public space as a stage for temporary interventions; yet, at
second glance, that which reminds of a particular artist's handwriting - André Cadere, Jeff Koons, Erwin Wurm or Sol Le
Witt- turns out to be leftovers of roadworks, litter strewn on the floor or even a bundle of cables hanging from a
lamppost for local electricity supply. Not artists are at work here, but the city's inhabitants, accomodating their daily
life. However, through the artist's gaze those "leftovers" in public space can be appropriated and transformed into
fictious representations of the artworld's established codes. Documenting these falsely assumed traces of artistic
presence by means of photography and sometimes writing, Benera dislocates questions of aesthetics, artistic value and
authorship into the public sphere, thus adding new layers of meaning to the city. Following PLATFORM3's invitation, the
artist will continue her research in Munich. This project is ongoing and meant to continue in different locations
Opening: Wednesday 27th, 7pm

Development of the city of Munich.
An old, nostalgic petrol pump and a sign with the label UHOR (Czech for wasteland) are standing in the showroom. A
reverse rotating counter is inside this petrol pump, like an endless countdown. The temporary installation changes the
room in an abandoned petrol station. Together with the projection of Roadmovie-experiments an unreal atmosphere is
produced.

With the third and last edition of the lecture series, “Contemporary Curatorial Practices 2010“, Platform3, in
cooperation with the ifa-Galerien Stuttgart andBerlin, sets foot on non-European soil: For the first time in Munich,
the Indian curator Pooja Sood will present her own curatorial practice, focussing on video art, and give an overview of
India's contemporary art scene. People from Munich interested in arts and culture will thus have the unique chance to
take part in and learn about the curatorial pathways and new formats of globally operating, international cultural
exchanges outside of the occidental art network.

an incubator for art and ideas, artistic exchange and dialogue in the visual arts. Through our programming we aim to
assist and develop, forms of art such as media art, performance, video, environmental, public and community based
art, sound and other experimental modes of cultural production. As a deliberate policy our core invitees have been
from South Asia which has resulted in the development of an active network of artists in the region. KHOJ seeks to
promote cross cultural exchange within the visual practices of the 'Global South'. Since our inception in 1997 artists
from Iran, Egypt, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Lebanon, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Mainland China, Taiwan
and several countries in Africa, have participated in our workshops and residencies. http://khojworkshop.org

SOCIETE REALISTE : THE FOUNTAINHEAD AND OTHER ARTWORKS
Opening: Sept, 14th, 2010, 7 pm
Exhibition from Sept, 15th – October, 13th, 2010 at PLATFORM3 and from Nov, 10rth – Dec, 5th, 2010 at Galerija
Škuc, Ljubljana.
THE FOUNTAINHEAD AND OTHER ARTWORKS is Société Réaliste's first exhibition in Munich, Germany. The show's title
refers to Société Réaliste's debut full length motion picture that is to premiere at PLATFORM3: THE FOUNTAINHEAD
proposes an experimental rereading of the eponymous 1949 Hollywood motion picture in order to disclose, almost
palimpsest-like, the film's underlying labyrinthine relations between capitalism, Promethean architecture and
doctrinaire modernism.
Deconstruction is at the core of this exhibition: The processes at work in THE FOUNTAINHEAD are paralleled by a series
of artworks displayed in PLATFORM3's central exhibition space all of which aim to destabilise our well-established order
of commonly accepted sets of symbols, be it monetary, geographic or political.
THE FOUNTAINHEAD AND OTHER ARTWORKS is to premiere at PLATFORM3 and will subsequently travel to Galerija
Škuc in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
THE FOUNTAINHEAD AND OTHER ARTWORKS receives substantial support from ALLIANZ KULTURSTIFTUNG, whom
PLATFORM3 wishes to thank in particular.

With substantial support by:
The show's title refers to Société Réaliste's debut full length motion picture that is to premiere at PLATFORM3: THE
FOUNTAINHEAD proposes an experimental rereading of the eponymous 1949 Hollywood motion picture directed by
King Vidor. Based on a novel by Russian-born, American writer and philosopher Ayn Rand, the movie advocates
libertarianism through the figure of an uncompromising, highly individualistic architect. Rand's firm belief in rational
self interest, economical prosperity through free markets as well as her abjection of public welfare make her the
founder of objectivism as well as a committed spokeswoman of modern capitalism.
Projected in PLATFORM3's first of two exhibition spaces (180m2), THE FOUNTAINHEAD conveys a formal experiment:
Société Réaliste systematically erased all characters from the original movie's footage, thus transforming the film into
111 minutes of pure architectural setting in total silence. Deprived of its most prominent layer – the fictional account –
THE FOUNTAINHEAD discloses, almost palimpsest-like, the film's underlying labyrinthian relations between capitalism,
Promethean architecture and doctrinaire modernism. Deconstruction is at the core of this exhibition: to the processes
that are at work at THE FOUNTAINHEAD corresponds a series of artworks displayed in PLATFORM3's central exhibition
space (200m2): all along the walls, WATCHING OVER THE REICHSTAG (2010) revisits history by exhibiting step by
step those (ever so slight) visual manipulations used for the sake of propaganda. Here, not only our most
representative clichés of historical moments are put at stake, but our visual recognition of symbols is challenged by
textual works using the typeface FUTURA FRAKTUR (2009), a hybrid of two of the most popular type fonts forbidden by
the Nazis. Symbols certainly convey power in no matter what context: standing for an attempt to organise and control
what is disordered and arbitrary by nature, they have allowed to shape unities such as nation states each with their
own attributes in terms of language, flags, monuments, monetary systems and national anthems. Yet, NEW
ALPHABETICAL ORDER (2009), SPECTRAL AEROSION (2010) and CARTOPHONY OF THE LAND OF THE FREE (2009) all
aim at destabilising our well-established order for the sake of a critical revision of commonly accepted sets of symbols,
be it monetary, geographic or political. Pushing this logic to its paroxysm, ZERO IMPACT (2010) deals with the striking
dichotomy of symbol and anti-symbol, overthrowing it all for anarchy. COUNTERFORMISM (2009), based on the
Hexatopia typographic pattern, and QUOTE END OF QUOTE (2010) suggest graphic rearrangements of common codes.
THE FOUNTAINHEAD AND OTHER ARTWORKS is to premiere at PLATFORM3 and will subsequently travel to Škuc
Gallery in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Its presentation changes according to the specific space and time of display at each
venue. Société Réaliste thus emphasises their process-oriented, interdisciplinary approach.
The exhibition is curated by Marlene Rigler assisted by Anja Lückenkemper and produced by PLATFORM3, together with
Société Réaliste.
THE FOUNTAINHEAD AND OTHER ARTWORKS receives substantial support from Allianz Kulturstiftung Munich, whom
PLATFORM3 wishes to thank in particular. The video THE FOUNTAINHEAD has been produced by JAN VAN EYCK
ACADEMY, Maastricht and realised by Gregg Langlois, Paris.

exchange relations
Six videos of international artists, curated by Katrin Mundt, look into the psychology of work relationships. They open

MAY 28, 2010 TO MAY 29, 2010
Symposium – Walking Conference – Open Space – Installation
How would you like to live and work in the future? kreativORTungen invites artists, alongside cultural and creative
professionals, to discuss the future make-up of their profession. The project deals with the interdependent work and
lifestyle patterns of freelancers and entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative sector. It challenges these patterns and
raises questions about the collective organisation of the players in the field.
Platform3 transforms into a space for action and reflection: Theorists and practitioners from the cultural and creative
industry work together to pose questions on self-awareness, workspace and organisation. A goal is the development of
positions, ideas and utopias for the future of their work.
The framework for this exchange is provided by a Symposium and a Walking Conference with deeper insights into
current discussions on the subjects. An Open Space offers additional room for networking, discussion and exchange.
An On-Site Installation reflects Platform3 as a temporary, collaborative workplace.

A8 Richtung Wien (A8 towards Vienna)
APRIL 22, 2010 TO MAY 05, 2010
21st March
7 pm, opening
7.30 pm, „Wohlstand für alle“ (welfare for all), film and opinion-table with the artist Martin Krenn
8.30 pm, music-performance with Kosmoprolet
Between the 22th of April and the 5th of May 2010, Platform3 will invite artists from Vienna and Munich to examine
employment and industrial activity from a multitude of angles. This will provide a valuable Austrian viewpoint to
Platform3's theme of ‘Labor’.
Production conditions and contexts will be examined and re-framed. Migrating workers and the A8 as a vital East-West
corridor will be looked at. An temp agency will be out-sourced and thus questions will be raised concerning
employment. Procedural and open exhibition methods will be trialed and the political and social function of art put
under inspection.
Participarting artist and initiatives: Andreas Familler (Munich), Kosmoprolet (Vienna), Michael Hieslmair (Vienna),
Martin Krenn (Vienna), Lernen am Bau (Munich), monochrom (Vienna), Oliver Ressler (Vienna), Silvia Wienefoet
(Munich), Michael Zinganel (Vienna)
Partners: Kultur & Mehr - Bürgersaal Fürstenried, Münchner Volkshochschule, Münchner Stadtbilbiothek Fürstenried
Supported by Österreichischen Generalkonsulats München, Bezirksausschuss 19 der Landeshauptstadt München and
Baugeräte Geith und Niggl.
One way stop and go, Michael Zinganel and Michael Hieslmair (Vienna)
The A8 is one of the main throughways for European mobility and migration. Via serial and comparative research on
multiple stops on the route, transnational routes and local day to day working life will be connected. In this way
conclusions on regional structural change can be drawn: Rest stop and lorry driver, petrol stations and cashier, rest
area and travelling groups. Michael Zinganel and Michael Hieslmair will show their research and body of evidence that
they will examine in an experiment on their way to Munich and the central space of Platform 3 in an installation at the
final location.
Dienstleistung: Fluchthilfe (Border Crossing Services), Oliver Ressler and Martin Krenn (Vienna)
The video, “Dienstleistung: Fluchthilfe“ by Oliver Ressler and Martin Krenn shows employment migration from another
angle. The borders of the EU are impenetrable for many refugees, at least through legal means. In four sections; “Who
is allowed to migrate?“, “Party and reclusion“, “To the Escape Aid“, and “Against Racism“, the video takes up these
themes through interviews and shows positive aspects to terms such as 'People Smugglers'. The service provider
character of the business is put at the fore and the social profile of enabled migration put to the test.
Wohlstand für alle (Welfare for All), Martin Krenn (Vienna)
In his comprehensive project that already took place in a similar form at the Festival der Regionen 2009 in Linz, Martin
Krenn looks at the discussion of poverty, basic income and justice. A table of opinions will be created on which visitors
can write and that questions the population's awareness of democracy and wealth. In parts, answers from Austrian
citizens are already included in order to compare opinions. This table will constantly be present at the exhibition and
can be written on at any time.
You can also send your statement via [email protected] or by publishing of the
Sendlinger Anzeiger.
Kiki and Bubu, monochrome (Vienna)
With their philosophical sock-puppets, Kiki and Bubu, monochrom present lessons in neo-liberalism: Free markets,
supply and demand, networking, and new economy, are all exmined in socratic dialogues. "Bubu wants to know why
his dad is busy all the time. And Kiki explains to him why... because of the neoliberal shift." The short film showcasing
the sock-puppets will be available for viewing throughout.
Go active(at)platform3aktive@platform3, Andreas Familler (Munich)
Especially for “A8 Richtung Wien” Platform 3 outsources a temp agency: “Go active(at)platform3active@platform3.”
Andreas Familler will live, sleep and go about his daily work in the exhibition room as a guest-worker. Over the space
of 2 weeks a bizarre room construction will be created which will become part of the Familler collection and afterwards
will be put into a flat to be used in real life. The working model artist and creative worker as a flexible, self-suffiecient
worker will be examined. The status of art as watchable on the one hand and useable on the other is revealed.
Mine is mine is my work, Silvia Wienefoet (Munich)
In a project with the qualification enterprise Lernen am Bau Wienefoet is mainly questoning the ownership of work. The
participants will be asked to produce a creative work for a fee. Afterwards these works will be shown in the exhebition.
Who's owning the work?

Nürnberg-Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft) together with the involved artists and the Team of Platform3. This year's theme
at Platform3 being “Work“, the exhibition “Platform3 works” itself will also envelop aspects of the 21 studios and
working spaces. Based on the fact of the different artistical positions the group exhibition will show some insight views.
The first show uniting all the artists will demonstrate the wide spectrum and concurrently the extremes, similarity and
the not so obvious connections of the studio neighbours in a dialogical way. Installations, objects, collages, paintings,
photography and video will be shown at Platform3. Furthermore the open studios will invite for a personal talk and an
intense debate with the artists during the weekend of March 20th and 21st, 2010.

Performance SUPER A: Common Sense
Saturday, 20th March, 7pm
In his talk the Melanesian theorist and theologian SUPER A presents an affectionate chronicle into the future of cargo
cult. Extracted from the practices of his home island, New Hanover, SUPER A elaborates on the basics of the cult and
shows the difficult implications of simulation and over-identification today. While under the influence of US Army in the
mid 1940’s and 50’s the islanders of Melanesia developed an ostentatious practice mimicking the US culture,
worshipping the wealth (cargo!) of the foreigners in the hope of its return. What became hereafter ridiculed by many
for its naivety -- the islanders cleared the indigenous forests, built faked airplanes and landing stripes, even elected
Lyndon Johnson to be their president -- poses a challenge to the dialectics of economy and creativity. It is both a
model for marketing as well as political resistance. In this performative step-to-step manifesto SUPER A draws from
the rich heritage of cargo cult and shows its renewed promise for the 21st century.

Lecture Series 2009/2010: Contemporary Curatorial Practices
FEBRUARY 03, 2010 - 07:00 PM
During 2010 Platform3 continues its series of lectures that presents ideas and practice of international curators. Aim of
the lectures is to initiate a stronger exchange between international curators and local cultural actors.
Curatorial visions, individual research interests as well as the presentation of past exhibition projects offer the
opportunity to understand the approaches of experienced practitioners and to get in touch with central discourses of
the international art scene firsthand.
Equally, these visits enable the development of a closer knowledge of the local cultural arena (artists, exhibition
makers, institutions).

Hou Hanru (Frankreich / USA):
What can Biennials do?
In his talk “What can Biennials do?” Hou Hanru questions the structural goals and curatorial strategies of biennials.
Special emphasis is put on the relationship with local contexts in the process of globalization. At the center of his
presentation are the large scale exhibition projects 10th Lyon Biennale (2009) and the 10th Istanbul Biennale (2007)
that he curated
OUR UPCOMING LECTURE RS 2010 ARE:

March 24, 2010, 7 pm, Övül Durmuşoğlu (Turkey)- In Cooperation with ifa-Institute for Foreign Cultural

May 26, 2010, 7 pm, Cosmin Costinaş (Romania / Netherlands)
The increase of large scale exhibitions like biennials has been widely critiqued. However, Hou Hanru re-emphasizes the
great potential of these cultural events, particularly in negotiating between the global and the local, politically
transcending the established power relationship between the local and the global but going beyond conformist
regionalism. Thus, biennials of contemporary art inevitably have cultural and geopolitical ambitions and seek to be
nationally and even internationally significant. The challenge that we face is how to imagine and realize a biennial that
is culturally and artistically significant in terms of embodying and intensifying this negotiation.
In his talk “What can Biennials do?” Hou Hanru questions the structural goals and curatorial strategies of biennials.
Special emphasis is put on the relationship with local contexts in the process of globalization. At the center of his
presentation are the large scale exhibition projects 10th Lyon Biennale (2009) and the 10th Istanbul Biennale (2007)
that he curated.
Hou Hanru (*1963, China) is a prolific and dynamic critic and curator based in Paris and San Francisco. He is Director
of Exhibitions and Public Programs and also Chair of Exhibition and Museum Studies at the San Francisco Art Institute
(SAFI).
He has curated numerous exhibitions across the world. The most recent ones include the 10th Biennale de Lyon. E+VA,
2008, the 10th International Istanbul Biennial, the2nd Guangzhou Triennale, the 3rd Tirana Biennale (Albania, 2005).
The Exhibitions and Public Programs in SFAI are considered as one of the most international and experimental in the
US while his engagements with the global art scene covers a much wider geographic span. Hou is one of the first
curators and thinkers to examine postmodern issues of nomadic identity, hybridity, globalized mobility, what he calls
“in-betweeness,” and artists living in the diaspora. Described as a significant international voice on cultural difference,
Hou is a regular contributor to several journals on contemporary art and publications and has lectured at numerous
institutions including the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.

Liquid Archives – Notes on Relations, Ruptures and Silences
DECEMBER 10, 2009 TO FEBRUARY 03, 2010
“History is the fruit of power, but power itself is never so transparent that its analysis becomes superfluous. The
ultimate mark of power may be its invisibility; the ultimate challenge, the exposition of its roots.” Michel-Rolph
Trouillot, Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History.
Opening in December 2009, the exhibition Liquid Archives – Notes on Relations, Ruptures and Silences, presents new
and existing works of emerging and established contemporary artists.
The central concern of the exhibition is to critically rethink the production of history, particularly with regard to the
production of national histories which are characterized by a focus on the narration of shifting national borders, their
administrative structures and leading individuals. A critical investigation of ocean-space, as a counter-space to land
territory thus enables a productive change in perspectives. Ocean-space functions under its own paradigms and is
embedded in complex relations and that are inherently multi-literal, or rather, global. It therefore comes with a wider
spatial and temporal trajectory, one that enables new modes of access to global history as well as to the present
moment. As an historical space, the ocean recounts of the formation of the global capitalist world-system. However, as
an imaginary space it highlights infinite stories of relations, but also of boundaries.
The fine line between truth and fiction, between the reception of histories and their production, that inevitably is
characterized by an uneven access to the means of the production of history (language, translation and its mediation),
are fundamental structural aspects that are equally relevant in exhibition-making. By evoking an imaginary, by staging
a narrative, an exhibition fictionalizes the real and thereby is itself a part of the production of history.
The exhibition Liquid Archives – Notes on Relations, Ruptures and Silences aims to make these structural antinomies
that entail their own discourse of power, visible though curatorial concept and exhibition design.
Opening: December 9, 2009, 7pm

HOT SPOTS – Lecture, concert and video screening: What comes after oil?
”Hot Spots – What comes after Oil?“ is both an artistic and sociopolitical proposal initially launched by artist Karin
Bergdolt. During November, PLATFORM3 transforms into a space for discussion and distinct sound scapes. The question
of alternative propulsions will be tackled by means of a lecture on the future of individual transport as well as the
experimental, musical transcription of a scientific measuring-curve.

Alternative propulsions – browsing a field of research
Lecture by Dr. Lutz Marz
The automobile is a paradigmatic product and a vital part of modern societies. Due to climate change and the limited
nature of natural resources, the 21st Century forces a shift in energy technology. What does this entail for individual
transport and present society? Which social, cultural and artistic factors promote, and which restrain, the development
of new innovative sources of energy?

NADIM ASFAR: EVERYDAY MADONNA
SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 - 07:00 PM
Screening of Everyday Madonna [DigiBeta, 40’, 2009]
To crown Lebanese artist Nadim Asfar’s two-month residency at PLATFORM3, there will be a projection of his current
video Everyday Madonna. Everyday Madonna is a multifaceted and poetic deconstruction of the production and
reproduction of pictures. Public and private space, exterior and interior, merge here vibrantly. The video is at once a
passionate homage to pop-icon Madonna, a deep reflection over photography, and an intimate self-portrait.
SOFIA SPIONAGE
Sofia Spionage is a series of events that elaborate the visual existence of a city and capital through various “small
stories”. The face of Sofia: The City in Pictures (Photography exhibition), The City in Words (Lecture), The City in
Colours and Sounds (Film), and The City in Melodies (Musical performance).
Sofia Spionage shows the city as a stage for Bulgarian contemporary art and as a living microcosm. The superficial
‘shine’, brought about by systems geared towards globalisation stems from an urbanisation of thought and feelings.
What is the future of this city after the period of transition between socialism and EU membership? How does its fate
affect the visual and sensory consciousness of its inhabitants? What social factors govern the new aesthetic
presentation of an Eastern European capital city?
Possible answers and food for debate on the question of the love/hate relationship between local artists and their city
are raised in the private tales and artistic visions presented by curator Yanna Varbanova (Robert-Bosch grant 2009) in
this exhibition.

Opening Times
Thu./Fri. 10.00 - 18.00
Sat. 11.00 - 17.00
ZEHNkampf (Decathlon) | Wand zu Wand (Wall to Wall)is the prelude to a series of exhibitions in cooperation with the
Academy for Visual Arts, Munich.
10 young artists from Hermann Pitz’s sculpture class at the Munich Academy for Visual Arts will be exhibited new works
of sculpture, room installation, video and performance in the main exhibition space at PLATFORM3 from the 16th to the
19th of September. Through sculpture and performance, the artists translate tried structures into new forms. New
tracks are laid and old paths are made visible. Space is seen as motion in the physical sense and emotion in the
psychological sense using a wide palette of artistic methods.
The multitudinous contexts, presentation and the rearrangement of a space play constantly with habitual spatial
awareness, something that can lead to an experience of freedom.
