What to Say — Axel LoytvedFor the new year, Textem Publishing has launched a tear-off calendar that does not come in the traditional calendar format but presents 239 pages, one for each day —- with the understanding, then, that some pages have to be viewed for longer than one day. From a distance, this handy block appears camouflaged as a PONS product and thus can, very sensibly, show a multilingual presence. The primary language of the calendar is German, but with strong slang and English-language influences. The individual pages feature word lists of different lengths. Here is an example of a rather short one:fuckheliummiefgenesungThe lists assembled in the make-believe calendar, which could also be seen as mini-operas, came into being because the text message memory in Axel Loytved’s cell phone faithfully records all words not contained in the dictionary of its T9 program. The exact date is added, on a day-to-day basis, whenever Axel Loytved writes a message.  You can immediately see in the tear-off calendar, page by page, whether the day is a good or a bad one. Using the calendar as a daily horoscope seems, therefore, the obvious thing to do. But the individual pages can also come in handy as grocery or to-do lists. It might also be worthwhile to put them in your neighbours’ letterboxes or under windshield wipers. As a reward or punishment for specific actions, as it were.

NORDWESTKUNSTprijs voor Axel Loytved
Begin december is in Wilhelmshaven (DE) de Thales-Förderpreis, één van de twee prijzen die tijdens het tweejaarlijkse NORDWESTKUNST wordt toegekend, uitgereikt aan Axel Loytved. Het werk van Loytved bevindt zich op de grens van beeldhouwwerk en installatiekunst. Zijn sculpturen ontstaan na een lang en verdichtend proces, waarbij amorfe alledaagse dingen – zoals sokken of papier – uiteindelijk een precieze vorm vinden.

De tentoonstelling NORDWESTKUNST 2011, met werk van alle 29 genomineerden, is nog tot 22 januari te zien. Meer info: http://www.kunsthalle-wilhelmshaven.de

NORDWESTKUNST prize for Axel Loytved
Early December, the Thales-Förderpreis, one of two prizes that are
presented at the biannual NORDWESTKUNST, was awarded to Axel Loytved in Wilhelmshaven (DE). Loytved’s work can be situated at the intersection of
sculpture and installation art. His sculptures are the result of a long
and compacting process in which amorphous, everyday objects - e.g. socks
or pieces of paper - find their precise form.
The exhibition NORDWESTKUNST 2011, with work by all 29 nominees, is on
until 22 January 2012. More info: http://www.kunsthalle-wilhelmshaven.de

2020 — Paul Gangloff, Hans-Christian Dany, Wolfgang Fütterer, Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt, Dominique Hurth, Axel Loytved & Nicholas Matranga
2020 werd gepubliceerd ter gelegenheid van de tentoonstelling becoming ahh, die liep van 7 november 2010 tot 27 maart 2011 in het Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht. Becoming ahh was gelieerd aan de tentoonstelling van BACA Laureaat 2010, Francis Alÿs, en toonde het werk  van vijf jonge kunstenaars en één ontwerper van de Jan van Eyck Academie: Wolfgang Fütterer (DE), Paul Gangloff (FR), Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt (DE, NL, AT), Dominique Hurth (FR), Axel Loytved (DE) en Nicholas Matranga (US). Paul Gangloff ontwierp de tentoonstellingscatalogus die de vorm kreeg van een agenda voor het jaar 2020. 

2020 — Paul Gangloff, Hans-Christian Dany, Wolfgang Fütterer, Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt, Dominique Hurth, Axel Loytved & Nicholas Matranga 
2020 was published on the occasion of the exhibition becoming ahh at the Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, 7th November, 2010 – 27th March, 2011. Becoming ahh was conceived in conjunction with the exhibition by the BACA Laureate 2010, Francis Alÿs. Becoming ahh exhibits the work of five young artists and one designer from the Jan van Eyck Academie: Wolfgang Fütterer (D), Paul Gangloff (F), Magicgruppe Kulturobjekt (D, NL, A), Dominique Hurth (F), Axel Loytved (D) en Nicholas Matranga (US). 

Preceding the opening of both exhibitions, Alÿs and the young artists discussed their work during what was referred to as a BACA ‘masterclass’. Masterclasses like this are a sensitive issue in the visual arts. The master-pupil hierarchy is difficult to reconcile with the art world’s general expectation that the artist be innovative, original and authentic. The idea of a hierarchy does not fit in well with the egalitarian mission directed at artistic research of the Jan van Eyck Academie, where students and lecturers are invariably referred to as ‘researchers’ and ‘advising researchers’.

Paul Gangloff designed the exhibition catalogue in the form of a diary for the year 2020. This diary is based on an eighteenth-century calendar from the French Revolution in which the names of animals, plants and tools replaced heroic religious feats. Gangloff distributed the artists’ specially developed contributions over specific days of the year.
