Serpentine Gallery

24-Hour Interview Marthon: London

By: Rem Koolhaas,Hans Ulrich Obrist

Every year the Serpentine Gallery, located in the heart of Hyde Park in central London, invites an internationally renowned architect or designer to design for them a temporary pavilion in their grounds for the summer. To coincide with the opening of the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2007 by Olafur Eliasson and Kjetil Thorsen, the Serpentine Gallery and Trolley Books are pleased to announce the launch of the publication of Serpentine Gallery 24-hour Marathon: London. Small and with a soft-cover in the format of a traditional 'flipbook', the book is a lively representation of last year's now legendary 24-hour marathon of interviews, held with some of the greatest names in international contemporary culture, as part of the programme of the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2006. The interviews were hosted by the architect of the Pavilion, Rem Koolhaas, and the Serpentine Gallery's Co-director of Exhibitions and Programmes, Hans Ulrich Obrist. The 24-hour, non-stop interview event featured over 60 world-renowned artists, architects, writers, designers and theorists, among them David Adjaye, Damien Hirst, Gilbert and George, Hussein Chalayan and Doris Lessing, as well as the Director of the Serpentine Gallery, Julia Peyton-Jones. From 6 pm on Friday28th June 2006 until 6pm on Saturday 29th, Koolhaas' Pavilion welcomed the public to join them in this landmark event, with many people staying for the entire duration. This 'flip-book' was conceived as a way of responding creatively to the marathon by producing a publication that was deliberately playful and tactile, giving a sense of speed, excitement and spontaneity of the Interview Marathon event. A highly visual and energetic book for its small size, it features over 150 colour and black and white illustrations and photographs interspersed with bite-sized text extracts from the interviews, and moves along in chronological order of the 24 hours. An introduction by Julia Peyton-Jones talks of the history of the Serpe

Films 1987-2010

By: Philippe Parreno,Nicolas Bourriaud,Dorothea von Hantelmann,Michael Fried

The Serpentine Gallery, London, presents Philippe Parreno's first solo exhibition in UK, 25 November 2010 - 13 February 2011. Parreno rose to prominence in the 1990s, earning critical acclaim for his work, which employs a diversity of media including film, sculpture, performance and text. The exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery has been conceived as a scripted space in which a series of events unfolds. The visitor is guided through the galleries by the orchestration of sound and image, which heightens their sensory experience. Published to accompany Parreno's exhibition, this catalogue functions as a retrospective study of the artist's films. The Serpentine Gallery presents the UK premiere of Parreno's latest film, Invisibleboy (2010). Also included are the films June 8, 1968 (2009), And The Boy from Mars (2003).

Thomas Demand

By: Beatriz Colomina,Alexander Kluge,Serpentine Gallery

Thomas Demand is one of the most celebrated contemporary photo artists. At first sight, Demands pictures, say of a kitchen, an elevator, or a car park, seem like depictions of everyday places. Yet on closer inspection they turn out to be reconstructions of reality: Demand creates life-size environments made of paper and cardboard and accurate down to the smallest details, photographs these re-creations and then destroys them. The pictures that arise in this way put their finger squarely on the drab aesthetics of the modern office world and architecture. Demands sculptural and somehow filmic simulations, completely devoid of people, lead us into a world of models, in which a faked reality blends with the memory of a real reality to generate vividly cool images and to investigate the concept of virtual reality that plays such a key role in our technological multimedia age.

Typhoon Coming on

By: Sondra Perry

Artist Sondra Perry (b. 1986, USA) foregrounds the tools of digital production in her videos and performances to reflect critically on new technologies of representation and to remobilise their potential. Her work revolves around black American history and ways in which technology shapes identities, often with her own personal history as a point of departure. The exhibition at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery will be Perry’s first solo presentation of her work in Europe and continues the Serpentine’s engagement with her practice, which began with her moving image intervention for the 2016 Park Nights series. The exhibition will include a site-specific installation incorporating existing works.
