The Guardian Uno no puede sino apreciar la naturaleza "milagrosa" de los acontecimientos en Egipto: pocos pudieron predecir lo que ha pasado, las opiniones expertas fueron refutadas, como si el levantamiento no fuera simplemente el resultado de las condiciones sociales, sino la intervención de un agente misterioso que podríamos llamar, de una manera platónica, la idea eterna de libertad,

"Zine's Mate -Tokyo Art Book Fair-"
at Vacant
Media: Other
(2009-07-10 - 2009-07-12)

(This event will be held in 2 venues) UTRECHT and PAPERBACK are pleased to announce the launch of ZINE’S MATE, TOKYO ART BOOK FAIR 2009, the first book fair specializing in artists’ publications to be held in Tokyo, Japan. This year a major new artists’ book fair will open in London, New York’s Art Book Fair will open for it’s 4th year, and new bookshops specializing in small-press will continue to prosper in cities across Europe, the USA and Asia. With artists’ book publishing, independent publishing of zines and art books on the increase the world over, ZINE’S MATE responds on behalf of Japan’s capital city, home to a plethora of independent publishers, sophisticated book shops, savvy book enthusiasts and artists. ZINE’S MATE TOKYO 2009 will take place in July at EYE of GYRE and Vacant. Gathered will be artists and publishers from Japan and around the world, who practice book-making in progressive and distinctive ways. Besides the booths filled with attractive artists’ books, there will be special exhibitions and events held at the gallery and at various sites within the GYRE building. One of the missions of the fair is to present self-published works by artists, who are lesser known and regional. By providing free booths for them, ZINE’S MATE hopes to aid the emergence of luminous minds, whose unique and rich visions burst from the most modest of mediums. ZINE’S MATE will be the leading fair for Japan’s artists’ book culture. With annual presentations, ZINE’S MATE will create opportunities for exhibitors and visitors to experience the ever-evolving world of zines and artists’ books. Despite their position on the edges of the publishing industry, these publications are essential to the forward moving of publishing and culture in general, a breeding ground for new ideas and forms of expression. Locations: — GYRE 11:00-20:00, closes at 18:00 on 12th — VACANT 13:00-20:00, closes at 18:00 on 12th

Previous stories about the exhibition: AUTO. SUEÑO Y MATERIA - Cars and landscapes and AUTO. SUEÑO Y MATERIA - Artificial traffic jam in the mountains.

At the beginning of the 20th century, cars were hand built by small teams of highly skilled craftsmen and women. Only an elite could afford to buy one until Henry Ford developed a system of mass-producing cars on conveyor belt-based 'assembly lines' and introduced standardized interchangeable parts. The mass production lowered the unit price of cars, making them affordable for the average consumer.

Tobias Rehberger takes history backwards. In 1999, the artist embarked on a project that saw him sending simple sketches, composed essentially from memory, of iconic cars such as a Porsche 911 and a McLaren F1 to a workshop in Thailand.

The artist who grew up near Stuttgart -often nicknamed the cradle of the automobile- selected Thailand, the Detroit of Asia, because the country is also known for its knockoffs of pretty much anything 'the West' produces.

The instructions, sketches, clippings from newspapers and renderings he sent in Thailand didn't contained any measurements nor technological details. The only requirements were that the cars had to be drivable and built to human scale. No matter how carefully the Thai craftsmen worked, the resulting vehicles can only reflect the meagre instructions the artist sent them. But Rehberger likes the imperfections because the way they enhance the personal stories behind his work. For the Renault Alpines (the model currently on show at Laboral), he just gave the men the info over the phone.

Rehberger claimed that he wanted "to create a car that is in itself a sculpture." The series makes us re-consider our idea of authenticity. It also softens the line that separates a consumer good from an artwork.

Stéphane Couturier's series Melting Point superposes two photographs taken in an automobile assembly plant in Valenciennes to create an almost abstract image. However, workers, machines, car parts, belts and surroundings can still be clearly identified. The series examine the connection between the introduction of new technological tools and the inevitable emergence of changes in our vision and perception of reality.

Auto. Sueño y Materia, curated by Alberto Martín, runs until September 21 at Laboral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial.
