• PUBLICATION: Galerie Caprice Horn is pleased to present the launching of the book, “Moment’s Notice: Collected Encounters,” (CSCVA Publications, 2011) by Geronimo Cristobal, Jr. with interviews and contributions by Wafa Gabsi, Indira Aguilera Kohl, Luis Albuquerque Pinho and Olga Sureda. The essays will revolve around a collection of recent works by artists Chema Alvargonzales, Gino Bueza, Frankie Callaghan, Francis Commeyne, Jerwin Collado, Maria Cruz, Marina Cruz Garcia, Lizza May David, Phillip Hohenwarter, Oswaldo Ruiz, Gerardo Tan, Rodel Tapaya and Kim Westerstrom. Book launching will be at 6pm on 19th December 2011 at the spaces of Galerie Caprice Horn at Rudi-Dutschke-Str. 26, D - 10969 Berlin.
The book aims to provide a unique view of how a broad range of artists employ their experiences in their work mainly through interviews and annotations by the curator, actual reviews and own words by the artists. Often artworks are the site of exploration and experimentation for artists. Embodying the essence of his thoughts, artworks can be a more distilled physical manifestation of ideas given the artists’ intimate relationship with his process. For some artists, the works are only part of mapping the structure of larger production and worldview. For others, it is an end in itself. In all cases, the degree of immediacy revealed and the presence of visual interpretation bring the viewer closer to the artist's process, both formally and conceptually.
Moment’s Notice was hypothesized by Geronimo Cristobal, Jr. as part of his ongoing research on systems of distribution and display of art exhibitions. The artists he presents in this book were handpicked from numerous encounters with artists working in Southeast Asia and Europe with an attempt to activate discussions on shared historical and colonial connections of the artists and the territories in which they work. Presented here are artists of mixed-backgrounds working trans-locally manifesting peripheral visions. The collective body of works seem to present cacophonous relationships that are punctuated by fluctuations in the curatorial process but these are all harmonized by narratives of momentary encounters between artist and curator. The text is similar to that of an art exhibition: pure, terse, and syncopating. There is an attempt to present the images in a more lasting manner for the viewer to develop a more visceral relationship with the works and the views of the artists.
Limited copies of books will be raffled-off to those who will attend the book launch. Rodel Tapaya’s “Visions of Lore,” a featured item on the publication will be on view at the gallery on that night. For information please contact doerte@capricehorn.com or the author at info@juncristobal.com.
