Angela Bulloch Bücher

The work of Angela Bulloch (*1966, Rainy River, Canada, currently based in Berlin) spans many media, manifesting her interest in systems, patterns and rules, as well as her preoccupation with the history of shapes and human interaction. Since 2014, a new series of sculptures have taken the logic of geometry one step further into a virtual space where computers perform calculations and gravity relinquishes its usual limitations. The sculptures emerge from this process with an uncanny virtual appearance, as if they have been beamed into the room. Transporting the virtual further into the real, for The Wired Salutation, Bulloch collaborated with the composer and musician David Grubbs to create a live, music theater piece involving musicians with their avatars, video projection, and theater lighting. Besides in-depth documentation of the performance, sculptures, prints, wall paintings and other works, the publication includes texts by David Grubbs and Alexander Provan as well as a conversation with the artist and interactive links to music samples from The Wired Salutation.

Two parallel solo shows at the Sharjah Art Museum bring contemporary artists Angela Bulloch and Maria Zerres together under one title, framed by the notion of entropy. Likewise, the publication takes the form of two separate but related exhibition catalogs, each leading toward the books center. Entropy appears in fields such as physics or probability theory but in contemporary art, entropy refers to representations of order, disorder and information, and their homogeneity. Entropy is suggested in both artists work in different ways. Bullochs sculptures, installations and sound works reveal her long interest in systems, patterns and rules defining the creative territory between mathematics and aesthetics. Zerress paintings explore the aesthetic languages of abstraction and figuration by emphasizing the blank space between painted areas. Texts by Manal Ataya, Lotte Everts, Amira Gad, Vanessa Joan Mu'ller, Brigitte Schenk and Corinna Thierolf.

Angela Bullochs Mud Bath [Schlammbad] war eine performative Arbeit im Rahmen der Ausstellung ‚ca-ca poo-poo‘ im Kunstverein Köln, welche 1997 die Grundlagen der Kulturtechnik Malerei untersuchte. Die Ausstellung verglich den künstlerischen Prozess der gezeigten Arbeiten mit der kreativen Urgewalt von Kindern. Für Mud Bath benutzte Angela Bulloch Schlamm als Malmittel und versprühte diesen mittels einer elektrischen Pumpe. Der Kurator der Ausstellung, Udo Kittelmann, war das Ziel ihrer Schlammschlacht, der er sich in Schutzkleidung auf einem Arne Jacobsen Stuhl sitzend aussetzte. Ein weiß belassenes Stück Wand bleibt als Zeugnis seiner Anwesenheit. Angela Bulloch (*1966 in Rainy River, Kanada) studierte am Goldsmiths College in London und gehört zur Generation der YBA. Sie arbeitet vorwiegend mit Video, Licht und Ton und nutzt ‚inter-passive‘ Systeme um die Betrachter in Ihre Werke einzubinden. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Berlin.
