OPENING NIGHT
THURSDAY, APRIL FOOLS' DAY
6-10 with performances at 7PM

CLOSING NIGHT
FRIDAY, APRIL 2
8PM-1AM with performances at 9PM

Inspired by the die-hard persistence of our creative friends and others who organize exhibitions in intimate spaces, friends, both “artist” and “non-”, were invited to pay homage to the nooks and crannies of their creative practices, where we all store untested but vital things.

The mission of Amateur Hour is to bring together each of our intimate nodes of production and acknowledge those creative pursuits that lie outside of our professions or trained mediums. All types of ephemera and skill sets have been thrown on the table; what is represented here is whatever has got our hearts beating. Photographers making sculpture, sculptors making performances, performers making photographs, arts administrators making prints. There is no work too small, no performance too provocative, there is no canon, there are no wrong answers: this is Amateur Hour.

Check out the list below. Your friends are probably there.

Raul Gomez Valverde - The Vision of Sublime 1. NO-ISBN

Bernhard Cella.
Salon für Kunstbuch. An Artwork as Enterprise
20.03.2010
Curated by Nini Palavandishwili, Brigitte Schöppner, Barbara Steiner

Bernhard Cella has an interest in current forms of visual art, which shift modes of production and distribution. Temporary settings mirror real serviced. In 2007 he founded the Salon für Buchkunst in Vienna, "An Artwork as Enterprise" According to Cella it functions as "a kind of model-space on a scale of 1:1, in which changing relationships among objects, people and artworks can unfold but being not economical". In 2009 Cella started an open call in the internet, asking "Have you recently published an art book without ISBN". For his Leipzig project Cella is going to show this idiosyncratic collection of NO-ISBN, books without an ISBN number. Such books are difficult to come by, because the publishers do not have recourse to the dominant distribution channels. During the Leipzig book fair the start of the multi-partied project will be marked by reading-performances of Leipzig based artists. Over the course of the year, Cella will publish a new book in Leipzig, which examines the phenomenon NO-ISBN between the production of art, the aspiration towards autonomy and professionalisation.

For its participation in ARCO Madrid 2010, Del Sol St. Gallery presents two bodies of work by the Spanish artist Raul Gomez Valverde.

24 Outdoor Contexts re-presents the MoMA Project “(Untitled) 1991” by Felix Gonzalez-Torres, displayed in New York during the summer of 1992. Executing the project in 2009, Raul Gomez Valverde used an exhibition catalog as reference to photograph the original locations where Gonzalez-Torres displayed 24 billboards of an empty bed 17 years ago. The new images not only depict a city transformed, but also reveal the disappearance of an artwork.

Together with black and white prints of the locations, Gomez Valverde shows a video of an in-bed conversation between Peter Muscato—the photographer who documented the billboards in 1992—and Gonzalez-Torres’s only gallerist in his lifetime, Andrea Rosen. The artist utilizes two male actors in this piece to interpret an imagined conversation, while exploring a realm of mediated production and reception. This conversation develops an ontological dialogue relating to photography, art influences and the politics of representation.

The project entitled To look and to look, similarly investigates notions of visualization and change. Based in the picturesque Regent’s Park in London, Gomez Valverde presents an analysis of the landscape transformation caused by seasonal changes and human intervention.

The work features a series of photographs, color graphs, publications and videos that study the connection between perceptual experience and representation. During one annual cycle, the artist followed a calendar based on moon positions, solstices and equinoxes to document a “designed landscape” processed as an evolving environment, where diverse chromatic discs are generated by a custom-made software in order to keep the color proportions of the original scenery.
