Bored by the technical limits of his instruments, the guitarist and bassist experiments with new sounds. Different sounding bodies widen the spectrum of resonance; simple mechanical motors produce new tones. In particular domestic appliances, tools, and large machinery from the fifties to the seventies play a significant role here because of their mechanical simplicity and haptic palpability. Points of reference to the Japanese “Noise Music”, a type of sound movement from the eighties rooted in John Cage and the Fluxus, can also be seen. In his first solo presentation in Europe Ujino Muneteru deals with the cultural and historic integration of the East and West using sounds. Muneteru, growing up in the consumer society of Tokyo, sees himself confronted with the historic industrial space of the GDR at PSM. PSM is located in a freight garage of the former transport establishment of the Central Committee of the SED. In Crossband Muneteru does not wish to teach, he wishes to investigate and record a playful catenation between history and the future of spaces. Crossband speaks about the concurrence, the intersection of sound waves, of information from language or sounds. Two installations are in the forefront of this communication cross-link - Pickle-Up and Plywood City. Pickle-Up consists of two old GDR motor cars, which have lost color and shape since the collapse of the GDR and have succumbed to the elements, like a pickle in its brine. Plywood City refers to a part of Tokyo, in the vernacular, built from wood. Inspired by it, Muneteru constructs a model city, which is animated by kinetic objects and sound. The basis of the city is formed by art transport crates, whose misappropriation cites socialist flagstone buildings with irony. Pickle-Up and Plywood City also function as interfaces between the past and future of the space of PSM - the former GDR freight garage and the future gallery.

They are among the most intriguing new Japanese artists to have emerged after the generation of ‘Superflat’ – the Japanese post-modern art movement championed by Takashi Murakami. With the exception of the art collective Enlightenment, who are godfathers to the emerging generation, all of the artists are showing their work in New York for the first time.

For a long time, however, only the Western view of a more-or-less Far East was accepted. How can we see Asia differently? Today, Asia is experiencing a cultural awakening. From Bahrain to Beijing, new museums and art biennials are appearing. Asian art is now surrounded by total hype. Re-Imagining Asia examines the way in which new images of Asia appear in contemporary art. It is not the artists’ origins that are relevant for Re-Imagining Asia, but only their focus on Asia as a space for the imagination. The spectrum of artists ranges from Chinese artists such as Zhang Dali to the Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, who was born in Buenos Aires and works in New York, to the Mexican Gabriel Orozco and the Germans Andreas Gursky and Johannes Kahrs. No matter whether their subject matter is the stock exchange in Kuwait, street scenes in mega-cities, pop imagery borrowed from the world of comics, or spine-chilling models of Tiananmen Square, the works selected from the twenty-three artists all develop new, heterogeneous ways of perceiving the world that transcend the polarities of local : global, traditional : modern. Installations, objects and photographs form the focal point of the exhibition. And although the motives and materials fall back on traditions, the artistic strategies are absolutely contemporary. The artists examine the history of their societies, invoke love and suffering, express their sense of disquiet about the system, experiment with traditional forms and new media. Irony and enthusiasm go hand in hand, and new connections are established between contemporary and traditional phenomena. Re-Imagining Asia discovers its perspectives in these spaces of the imagination. In situ The Chinese artist Song Don will be constructing his archives of past strategies of survival in the foyer of the House of World Cultures. His installation Waste Not (public assembling: 28.2.-13.3.) represents a vast revamping of all the objects his mother collected during the course of her life in the People’s Republic of China. In a commissioned work, Korean Sun K. Kwak responds to the transparent architecture of the House. And in April, performances will be staged in the garden around the House of World Cultures. Mai Yamashita and Naoto Kobayashi tackle the subject of infinity/eternity, OIO (Erika Matsunami and Antonis Anissegos) present a sound installation, and Megumi Fukuda makes artificial tulips flower in his Eternal Garden. The curators: Wu Hung and Shaheen Merali Re-Imagining Asia is the fourth project staged jointly by curators Wu Hung, who is Professor at the Center for the Art of East Asia in Chicago, and Shaheen Merali, a division head at the House of World Cultures. Together, the two curators produced the much-praised exhibition About Beauty (2005) and China – Between the Past and the Future (2006 at the House of World Cultures in Berlin and a section of the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea in 2006. In their Curatorial Statement they write: ‘These days, the cultural business is completely globalised. However, art often loses its contour in international exhibition practice, and without context it is depoliticised. Can Asian art be recontextualised? Which visual languages and traditions is Asian art taking up?’ With works by Chiho Aoshima, Japan I Parastou Forouhar, Iran, living in Germany I Subodh Gupta, India I Andreas Gursky, Germany I Ikeda Manabu, Japan I Michael Joo, USA I Johannes Kahrs, Germany I Bharti Kher, Great Britain, living in Neu Delhi I Kim Jongku, Korea I Kimsooja, Korea, living in New York I Sun K.
