Summary:
For the past thirteen years, Autocenter has put its stamp on Berlin’s contemporary arts scene. Founded in 2001 by Maik Schierloh and Joep van Liefland in a former auto body shop in Berlin-Friedrichshain, Autocenter has become an indispensable fixture of the city’s arts scene and one of its most important venues. In March 2013, Autocenter moved to Berlin’s Mitte district, where it continues to present exhibitions and projects by German and international artists in rapid succession. The 160 shows featuring work by more than 750 artists have always been transient affairs — in the early years, most exhibitions were on display for a mere two day. The book is a survey of the artists who visited or moved to Berlin in the past thirteen years and shows how contemporary art changed over time. Autocenter has not only been a keen observer of the city’s arts scene, it also helped shape its evolution.

Summary:
Les sept auteurs réunis dans cet ouvrage ont conservé cette alliance originelle pour faire cohabiter les deux ordres du rationnel et du poétique. Leurs créations, récemment découvertes ou retrouvées à Bali, au Brésil, au Bénin, en Inde, dans le Grand Nord arctique, en Sicile et en Allemagne, montrent un Art Brut cosmopolite, métissé de poésie. Certains cultivent des liens sensibles avec la nature et te cosmos, se mettant à leur écoute attentive, à la manière d'un archer zen. Ces auteurs de divers pays et continents montrent une disponibilité particulière, une sorte d'état exploratoire où la raison se relâche, grâce à laquelle ils se dégagent de la réalité. Ainsi, des guirlandes de visages enchantent les nuits de Ni Tanjung, des peintures tatouent les murs de la ville grâce à Giovanni Bosco, des machines à voler ou à coudre peuplent l'univers de Gustav Mesmer ainsi que celui d'Ezekiel Messou. Ailleurs, divinités et esprits surgissent de l'ombre sous les doigts de Kashinath Chawan et d'Anarqâq. Cet ouvrage contient un DVD avec six films documentaires qui permettent de découvrir les artistes sur leur lieu de vie et de création.
