KUNSTWERKE
Cory Arcangel | audmcrs – psk – subg | Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac | https://www.ropac.net/ | Paris Pantin I 2015 | From 07 Jun 2015 until 26 Sep 2015 Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin is presenting a solo exhibition by the artist Cory Arcangel, born in Buffalo (USA) in 1978. Arcangel has built up an international reputation since the early 2000s with his innovative performances, videos and computer-generated projects. Arcangel is now considered a pioneer of a generation of artists who have devoted themselves to the archaeology of (computer) technologies. The presentation of the already legendary installation Super Mario Clouds (2002-) in the opening exhibition of the new Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (USA), America Is Hard to See, underlines Arcangel’s position. The genealogy of iconic pop music hits, awareness of the historic character of (electronic) musical instruments, the archiving of music and the mutual permeation of the „pop“ and „classical“ spheres have become central to Arcangel’s work in recent years. Take for instance Arcangel’s concert series Dances for the Electric Piano, performed from 2013 to 2015 at venues including ICA London (UK), Berlin Philharmonie (Germany), MUMOK, Vienna (Austria) and the University of Television and Film (HFF) in Munich (Germany). In these compositions Arcangel plays with our collective unconscious knowledge about the sound of the synthesizer Korg M1, popular in 1990s house and techno music, which has become less and less significant for electronic music since the 2000s. The exhibition was accompanied by a concert, held on 7 June 2015 in our Paris Pantin gallery. This was a unique collaboration between Cory Arcangel and the world-famous Ensemble Intercontemporain founded in 1976 by Pierre Boulez, which is devoted entirely to contemporary chamber music. Since January 2015 the ensemble has been based at the Philharmonie de Paris, not far from the gallery. The programme included pieces composed by Cory Arcangel especially for the occasion, as well as works by Claude Debussy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart/Daniel Glatzel/Johannes Schleiermacher and Anton Webern | YouTube
