Alicia Frankovich talk
Tuesday 12 MAY, 11 to 12 midday
Room: WS 114, Science Building, 34 St Paul St
Sculpture, in Alicia Frankovich’s work, is a function of performance, the gesture of extending or otherwise toying with a found object, which is then ‘performed on’ and left as a sort of carcass in the aftermath of the event. Her recurrent themes of height, precariousness, and formal and temporal cycles draw on exemplary forms of human movement such as gymnastics and racing, evoking the thin line between rigorous poise and physical injury, discipline and collapse, while deploying a catalogue of references to art history, systems of power, and questions of geography, terrain and everyday life.
For her Artspace project, Frankovich configures new and recent work through a range of exhibition forms, including kinetic sculpture, installation, live performance and documentation of varying quality, structured across modes of presentation and reading both conventional and outmoded.

Ines Tartler Talk
Thursday May 14, 3 to 4pm
Room: WS 114, Science Building, 34 St Paul St
RGCFA Ltd, St Paul Street Gallery and the School of Art and Design are proud to present a talk by German artist Ines Tartler in conjunction with her new temporary public art installation in Auckland: Auto Garage: The Golden Garage Service, 2009.
Commissioned by Britomart Arts Foundation (Auckland) in partnership with RGCFA Ltd, the new work further develops previous Auto Garage projects by the artist in Berlin, Germany (2004) and Middlesbrough, UK (2005). The 2009 project is to be presented in the Britomart public and valet car parks in Auckland’s CBD. Tartler’s Auckland project extends previous Auto Garage projects by having at its heart a unique public participation aspect in which car park patrons will be offered the opportunity to “host” the Golden Garage art works on their cars. The project will be presented between 5 and 16 May 2009.
Ines Tartler (b. 1969) is a German installation and public art artist based in Berlin. Tartler studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam (NL) and has exhibited extensively throughout Europe since 1998. Her site-specific projects and installations have occupied public spaces, galleries and museums in Germany, The Netherlands, Italy, Great Britain, Belgium and Japan. Tartler has received various scholarships including from Senatsverwaltung Berlin (Germany), Emma Ricklund Foundation (Sweden) and Schloß Plüschow (Germany).
