Die von Rebecca Partridge kuratierte Gruppenaus- stellung „A Planetary Order“ bringt drei Kunstler/

innen zu- sammen, die sich in unterschiedlichen Medi-en mit der Er- forschung von Meta-Narrativen der Zeit, Landschaft und systematischer Abstraktion auf zugleich spielerische und ernsthafte Weise beschaftigen. Die Gegenuberstellung von Malerei, Skulptur und internet-basierten Arbeiten be- tont das gemeinsame Interesse an konzeptuellen Frage- stellungen der Kunstler/innen, deren akribische minimalis- tische Asthetik eine wei-tere Parallele bildet. Die Arbeiten oszillieren zwischen Ernsthaftigkeit und Humor, Romantik und Rationalitat, Reduktion und erhabener Große und vereinen dabei traditionelle kunstlerische Arbeitsweisen mit aktuellster digitaler Technik. Die Ausstellung reflektiert ein wach-sendes Interesse an der Ruckkehr zu metaphysischen Themen, welche trotz ihrer Ernsthaftigkeit immer mit einer kritischen Distanz und einem Bewusstsein fur das Komische beleuchtet werden.

Der Titel der Ausstellung geht auf Martin John Cal- lanans Arbeit „A Planetary Order (Terrestrial Cloud Glo- be)“ zuruck, einem 3D- bedruckten Globus, der direkt auf dem Galerieboden platziert ist und bei genauerer Be-trachtung ein Wolkenbild eines prazisen Moments auf- weist. Diese zunachst unscheinbare Arbeit ist tatsachlich eine ambitionierte Visualisierung von wissenschaftlichen Echtzeitdaten der Wolkenuberwachungssatelliten der NASA und der European Space Agency. Callanans Prinzip der Transformation von Daten zu Kunstwerken, die sowohl das Ausmaß von miteinander gekoppelten globalen Systemen als auch unseren Standort darin re- flektieren, findet sich auch in seinem aktuellsten Werk „Departure of All“ wieder. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine internetverbundene Abflugsanzeige, welche die Flugin- formationen jedes internationalen Flughafens der Welt anzeigt. Die in Echtzeit aktualisierten Flugda-ten geben einen schwindelerregenden Einblick in die Geschwindig- keit des globalen Verkehrs und verwei-sen zugleich auf einzelne realzeitliche Momente.

Katie Patersons Arbeit „As The World Turns“ - ein ent-sprechend der Erdumdrehungsgeschwindigkeit ro- tie-render Plattenspieler - bietet in seiner unmerklichen Langsamkeit einen Gegenpol zu Callanans Position. Nur dem aufmerksamsten Zuhorer offenbart sich Vi-valdis „Vier Jahreszeiten“ uber die Kopfhorer. Wie bei Callanan entfaltet sich auch Patersons Arbeit in einem weitaus großeren Raum als jenem, den das Kunstwerk einnimmt. Indem der Plattenspieler suggeriert, einen Blick auf die Erde herab zu ermoglichen, aktiviert Pa-terson einen sowohl metaphysischen als auch komi-schen Imaginations- raum.

An der großen Wand der Galerie hangt „Notes on The Sea“, ein Dyptichon in zwolf Teilen. In diesen seri-el- len, fotorealistischen Gemalden zeigt Partridge ruhi-ge, nebelverhangene Seestucke zu unterschiedlichen Ta- ges- und Nachtzeiten. Das urbildliche, romantische Sujet tritt dabei in einen Widerstreit mit sich selbst ein, indem es Teil eines Systems wird. Partridge spielt in ihren Bildern mit Dauerhaftigkeit, mathematischer Abstrak-tion und dem Schonen; ihr Versuch, den Inbegriff der romantischen Landschaft zu rationalisieren, erscheint zugleich medita- tiv und absurd.

A Planetary Order curated by Rebecca Par- tridge brings together three artists who, though

working in very different media, all explore meta-narratives of time, landscape and systematic abstraction with a combination of sincerity and playfulness. The juxtaposition of painting, sculp-ture and new media works emphasises the con-cep- tual concerns of the artists who also share a me- ticulous minimalist aesthetic. The works hover be- tween seriousness and humour, the romantic and the rational, reduction and sublime scale, all within a dialogue which encompasses works made both with highly traditional means and the most current new media technology. The exhi-bition re- flects a growing interest in a return to metaphysical themes, which though sincere, is not without critical distance and awareness of the comical.

The exhibition found its name in Martin John Callanan’s A Planetary Order (Terrestrial Cloud Globe) a 3D printed globe which, sitting directly on the gallery floor, on close inspection reveals the cloud cover of one single moment in time. This inconspicuous piece is in fact an ambitious ‘physi-cal visualisation of real-time scientific data’ tak-en from cloud monitoring satellites overseen by NASA and the European Space Agency. Cal- la-nan’s transformation of data into artworks which articulate both the enormity of interconnected global systems and our place within them, con- tinues with his most recent work, Departure of All; a flight departure board displaying the flight infor- mation for every international airport around the world. Running in real time, the speed of global transit creates a dizzying account of single moments. Katie Paterson provides a counterpoint to this overwhelm with her imperceptibly slow work, As The World Turns; a record player which, rotat- ing at the speed of the earth, plays Vivaldi’s Four Seasons audible through headphones to only the most attentive listener. As with Callanan, Pater- son’s artwork occupies a space far greater than the actual work- activating an imaginative space which is both metaphysical and comic; the re-cord player suggesting the turning earth which we are able to look down upon. Along the long wall of the gallery hangs Notes on The Sea, a (dip-tych in twelve parts) the series of twelve minimal photore- alist paintings calmly depicts fog veiled seascapes as polarities of night and day. In this work the ar- chetypal romantic image enters into a contra- diction with itself as it becomes part of a system. Playing with notions of duration, math-ematic abstraction, and the possibility of paint-ing a beautiful landscape, Partridge’s attempt to rationalize the epitomised romantic landscape is both medita- tive and absurd.
