Auszeit / Arbeit - FILM PROGRAMME
exchange relations
Six videos of international artists, curated by Katrin Mundt, look into the psychology of work relationships. They open our view on a topic, where teamplayer rhetoric, personal strain, universal formula for success, individual exit strategies, technological progress and emotional uncertainty often exist together in a strange manner.
Amongst others with the following works: Resonance, Karel de Cock, BE 2008, 18'30''; 3 Legged, Paul Harrison & John Wood, GB 1996, 5'; Gesang der Jünglinge, Korpys & Löffler, DE 2010, 14'30''; Le nouveau OMIZA, se promenant derrière le miroir, Ute Hörner & Mathias Antlfinger, DE 2007, 5'.

Workshop – Magazine – Exhibition
From the 16th – 23rd June Platform3 hosts an international workshop by students of Munich’s Akademie der Bildenden Künste and Istanbul’s Fine Arts Academy, Mimar Sinan University. Stemming from research performed in Munich and Istanbul in parallel, participants elaborate artistic proposals that use the distinctive perception of space in each city as a pivotal element. The workshop caters for urban, artistic and personal encounters. A free magazine featuring a selection of texts by Turkish and German authors as well as artist contributions provides further reading.
kreativORTungen – Industry, Work and Life in the Cultural and Creative Sector
Symposium – Walking Conference – Open Space – Installation
How would you like to live and work in the future? kreativORTungen invites artists, alongside cultural and creative professionals, to discuss the future make-up of their profession. The project deals with the interdependent work and lifestyle patterns of freelancers and entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative sector. It challenges these patterns and raises questions about the collective organisation of the players in the field.
Platform3 transforms into a space for action and reflection: Theorists and practitioners from the cultural and creative industry work together to pose questions on self-awareness, workspace and organisation. A goal is the development of positions, ideas and utopias for the future of their work.
The framework for this exchange is provided by a Symposium and a Walking Conference with deeper insights into current discussions on the subjects. An Open Space offers additional room for networking, discussion and exchange.
An On-Site Installation reflects Platform3 as a temporary, collaborative workplace.

Lecture Series 2010: Contemporary Curatorial Practices #2
Internationally-active artists and curators, as well as dynamic display formats, are currently characteristics of the latest in artistic productions; but what effects do these new exhibition formats produce?
This is the question Platform3 will raise in the second part of its lecture series Contemporary Curatorial Practices throughout the year 2010. This programme has been conceived in cooperation with ifa-galleries Stuttgart and Berlin. Our guests are international curators and artist collectives working in Turkey, France, South Africa and Romania. Their lectures will cover curatorial approaches and present actual exhibition projects with regards to the respective on-site working conditions. Contemporary Curatorial Practices offers Munich -based cultural workers and people interested in the arts to experience curatorial visions firsthand.
Lectures take place at Platform3, Munich: Free admission.

Between the 22th of April and the 5th of May 2010, Platform3 will invite artists from Vienna and Munich to examine employment and industrial activity from a multitude of angles. This will provide a valuable Austrian viewpoint to Platform3's theme of ‘Labor’.
Production conditions and contexts will be examined and re-framed. Migrating workers and the A8 as a vital East-West corridor will be looked at. An temp agency will be out-sourced and thus questions will be raised concerning employment. Procedural and open exhibition methods will be trialed and the political and social function of art put under inspection.

Platform3 works
March 20, 2010 to April 07, 2010
The exhibition “PLATFORM3 works” encompasses works from 21 studio spaces and thereby addresses the location as a space of production. The various artistic positions in the group exhibition enable insight into the artists’ engagements. The exhibition demonstrates a wide spectrum of works. However, unexpected familiarities of studio neighbors emerge. The exhibition includes installations, objects, collages, paintings, photography and video.
The catalog "PLATFORM3 works" is not reflecting the show itself but gives an overview about the artistical forms which were elaborated at PLATFORM3. Thanks to Hypo Kulturstiftung for sponsoring.
Opening hours: Monday-Saturday 11-7pm, Wednesday 12-8pm, Sundays closed.
Closed: 2nd April and 5th April.
Wednesday, 7th April

Platform3 works
March 19, 2010 to March 21, 2010
Platform3 is celebrating a year of existence with an anniversary exhibition and a weekend with open studios. The jubilee exhibition is organised and arranged by Heike Ander (Curator of kunstraum muenchen, Exhibition and Cooperation Consultant at Kunsthochschule für Medien, Cologne) and Kathleen Rahn (Director of the Kunstverein Nürnberg-Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft) together with the involved artists and the Team of Platform3. This year's theme at Platform3 being “Work“, the exhibition “Platform3 works” itself will also envelop aspects of the 21 studios and working spaces. Based on the fact of the different artistical positions the group exhibition will show some insight views. The first show uniting all the artists will demonstrate the wide spectrum and concurrently the extremes, similarity and the not so obvious connections of the studio neighbours in a dialogical way. Installations, objects, collages, paintings, photography and video will be shown at Platform3. Furthermore the open studios will invite for a personal talk and an intense debate with the artists during the weekend of March 20th and 21st, 2010.

Lecture Series 2009/2010: Contemporary Curatorial Practices
During 2010 Platform3 continues its series of lectures that presents ideas and practice of international curators. Aim of the lectures is to initiate a stronger exchange between international curators and local cultural actors.
Curatorial visions, individual research interests as well as the presentation of past exhibition projects offer the opportunity to understand the approaches of experienced practitioners and to get in touch with central discourses of the international art scene firsthand.
Equally, these visits enable the development of a closer knowledge of the local cultural arena (artists, exhibition makers, institutions).

Liquid Archives – Notes on Relations, Ruptures and Silences
December 10, 2009 to February 03, 2010
“History is the fruit of power, but power itself is never so transparent that its analysis becomes superfluous. The ultimate mark of power may be its invisibility; the ultimate challenge, the exposition of its roots.” Michel-Rolph Trouillot, Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History.
Opening in December 2009, the exhibition Liquid Archives – Notes on Relations, Ruptures and Silences, presents new and existing works of emerging and established contemporary artists.
The central concern of the exhibition is to critically rethink the production of history, particularly with regard to the production of national histories which are characterized by a focus on the narration of shifting national borders, their administrative structures and leading individuals. A critical investigation of ocean-space, as a counter-space to land territory thus enables a productive change in perspectives. Ocean-space functions under its own paradigms and is embedded in complex relations and that are inherently multi-literal, or rather, global. It therefore comes with a wider spatial and temporal trajectory, one that enables new modes of access to global history as well as to the present moment. As an historical space, the ocean recounts of the formation of the global capitalist world-system. However, as an imaginary space it highlights infinite stories of relations, but also of boundaries.
The fine line between truth and fiction, between the reception of histories and their production, that inevitably is characterized by an uneven access to the means of the production of history (language, translation and its mediation), are fundamental structural aspects that are equally relevant in exhibition-making. By evoking an imaginary, by staging a narrative, an exhibition fictionalizes the real and thereby is itself a part of the production of history.
The exhibition Liquid Archives – Notes on Relations, Ruptures and Silences aims to make these structural antinomies that entail their own discourse of power, visible though curatorial concept and exhibition design.
Opening: December 9, 2009, 7pm
Participating Artists
Nadim Asfar (Lebanon), Ursula Biemann (Switzerland), Annegret Bleisteiner (Germany), Frédéric Bruly Bouabré (Ivory Coast), Carolina Caycedo (Puerto Rico) , Raphael Cuomo & Maria Iorio (Switzerland/ Italy), Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani (Germany), Stephan Huber (Germany), Xavier Krilyk (Germany/ France), Marcos Lora Read (Dominican Republic), Silke Markefka (Germany), Tiago Mestre (Portugal), Ghassan Salhab (Lebanon), Zineb Sedira (France/UK), Nikolai Vogel (Germany), Hamid Zenati (Germany/Algeria)
HOT SPOTS – Lecture, concert and video screening: What comes after oil?
November 13, 2009 to November 18, 2009
”Hot Spots – What comes after Oil?“ is both an artistic and sociopolitical proposal initially launched by artist Karin Bergdolt. During November, PLATFORM3 transforms into a space for discussion and distinct sound scapes. The question of alternative propulsions will be tackled by means of a lecture on the future of individual transport as well as the experimental, musical transcription of a scientific measuring-curve.

Nadim Asfar: Everyday Madonna
Screening of Everyday Madonna [DigiBeta, 40’, 2009]
To crown Lebanese artist Nadim Asfar’s two-month residency at PLATFORM3, there will be a projection of his current video Everyday Madonna. Everyday Madonna is a multifaceted and poetic deconstruction of the production and reproduction of pictures. Public and private space, exterior and interior, merge here vibrantly. The video is at once a passionate homage to pop-icon Madonna, a deep reflection over photography, and an intimate self-portrait.
Sofia Spionage
September 24, 2009 to October 14, 2009
Sofia Spionage is a series of events that elaborate the visual existence of a city and capital through various “small stories”. The face of Sofia: The City in Pictures (Photography exhibition), The City in Words (Lecture), The City in Colours and Sounds (Film), and The City in Melodies (Musical performance).
Sofia Spionage shows the city as a stage for Bulgarian contemporary art and as a living microcosm. The superficial ‘shine’, brought about by systems geared towards globalisation stems from an urbanisation of thought and feelings. What is the future of this city after the period of transition between socialism and EU membership? How does its fate affect the visual and sensory consciousness of its inhabitants? What social factors govern the new aesthetic presentation of an Eastern European capital city?
Possible answers and food for debate on the question of the love/hate relationship between local artists and their city are raised in the private tales and artistic visions presented by curator Yanna Varbanova (Robert-Bosch grant 2009) in this exhibition.

ZEHNkampf (Decathlon) | Wand zu Wand (Wall to Wall)
September 17, 2009 to September 19, 2009
Opening Times
Thu./Fri. 10.00 - 18.00
Sat. 11.00 - 17.00
ZEHNkampf (Decathlon) | Wand zu Wand (Wall to Wall) is the prelude to a series of exhibitions in cooperation with the Academy for Visual Arts, Munich.
10 young artists from Hermann Pitz’s sculpture class at the Munich Academy for Visual Arts will be exhibited new works of sculpture, room installation, video and performance in the main exhibition space at PLATFORM3 from the 16th to the 19th of September. Through sculpture and performance, the artists translate tried structures into new forms. New tracks are laid and old paths are made visible. Space is seen as motion in the physical sense and emotion in the psychological sense using a wide palette of artistic methods.
The multitudinous contexts, presentation and the rearrangement of a space play constantly with habitual spatial awareness, something that can lead to an experience of freedom.
Artists
Johannes Brechter | Wona Cho | Karen Ernst | Johannes Evers | Funda Gül Özcan | Stephan Hutton | Florian Lechner | Claudia Marr | Kathrin Partelli | Angela Stiegler

Season II – in between Arts
Two evenings between arts: Presence, lectures, new horizons. Dialogues, quotes, fakes. Talks on the bank of the river. Bookmarks for the mind. Nothing is how it used to be: Author-art, Art-authors. Recitals, speeches, location-inspired text installations in combination with performances.
