Museum Tinguely Metamatic Reloaded Neue Kunstprojekte im Dialog mit Tinguelys Zeichenmaschinen
In the mid-1950s Swiss artist Jean Tinguely (1925–1991) began the production of a series of generative works titled Méta-Matics: machines that produced art works. With this series of works Tinguely not only problematised the introduction of the robotic machine as interface in our society, but also questioned the role of the artist, the art work and the viewer. Tinguely's Méta-Matic drawing machines were one of his most radical inventions. In 2009 the Metamatic Research Initiative in Amsterdam mounted a large competition to explore the potential of drawing machines for art today. Ten selected projects with a wide variety of perspectives prove the continued relevance of the theme, amongst them a performance-pavilion by Marina Abramovic', a large environment by Thomas Hirschhorn, and an installation by Jon Kessler. Artists: Marina Abramovic, Ranjit Bhatnagar, John Bock, Olav Breuning, Thomas Hirschhorn, Aleksandra Hirszfeld, Jon Kessler, Pors & Rao, Joao Simoes, Brigitte Zieger
