Description:
The Project records from Neil Denari series, 1994 – 2004, consists of records produced by Denari for his show “Interrupted Projections” at Gallery MA in Tokyo, Japan. It documents the development and final design for the principal architectural installation built on the third level of the gallery, as well as related materials displayed on the gallery’s fourth floor. The series also contains photographic and video documentation of the exhibit, the show catalogue, and promotional materials. The series includes 4003 digital files (1 GB), 53 slides, 21 transparencies, seven drawings and/or reprographic copies, two VHS video cassettes, one exhibition catalogue, and a small amount of promotional material comprising one large and two small posters, one postcard, and one t-shirt. The majority of records date from 1994-1996. Denari used a combination of physical drawings and digital modelling to draft the design for Interrupted Projections. The series contains one ink drawing and one transfer print with plans and sections of the third floor gallery space, two reprographic copies of drawings with elevations and plans of existing conditions of the third and fourth floors at Gallery MA, and three graphite hand drawings of the installation. Digital files in the series include two original Softimage databases containing full and partial 3D models of the installation, as well as one forward-migrated database containing models compiled from the two original databases. The original models were created in Softimage ’95 on Windows NT and will not open in contemporary versions of Autodesk Softimage. The forward-migrated model database was created by members of Autodesk’s Montreal office for the Archaeology of the Digital exhibition Complexity and Convention and will open in Softimage 2014. Each Softimage model database is made up of several directories that contain information necessary to render all models and their animation into a “scene” (such as textures, lighting, camera movements, etc.). When the Interrupted Projections models were migrated, the information from all directories in both original databases was compiled into the Scenes directory of a single database. These updated scene files (SCN) contain all the elements needed to render the models without the need for additional directories. Each scene file has a corresponding scene TOC file (scene table of content), which can be used to further modify the information in the scene. Scene files in the migrated database contain full and partial models for Interrupted Projections, including one animated scene that follows a camera path through the interior and exterior of the final model. These files document the various stages of design work for the project, as well as Denari’s use of animation features in Softimage to visualize and study the spatial character of his drawings. Project collaborator Duks Koschitz created additional animations of the model that were edited and shown on the fourth floor of the exhibition. A compilation of his work is included on a VHS tape in the archive. The video, which spans one minute 16 seconds, contains four animations that move around the 3D gallery space. Koschitz attempted to reflect the concerns of the project in the movements of the camera, focusing on details such as the fictional company logos or curvatures in the surface of the model. The majority of photographic materials in the series are digital renderings of the model, comprising 38 slides, 14 diapositives, and seven digital images. Photographic materials also include images of the completed show, including seven diapositives that document the built work from various views on the third floor of Gallery MA, as well as the exhibition of materials on the fourth floor. A small number of slides document the exhibit open to the public, and include images of visitors interacting with the Sony Navicam. Most of the diapositive photographs and a small number of slides were taken by Fujitsuka Mitsumasa, a photographer of architecture based in Tokyo. A second VHS tape in the archive provides in-depth documentation of the Interrupted Projections exhibition, containing 45 minutes of raw video footage that explores Gallery MA and surrounding areas of Tokyo. The Interrupted Projections book contains in print the text and images from the installation and website. It was written by Denari and designed by Michiharu Shimoda, a graphic designer and underground trip-hop artist who was also responsible for the design of the fictional logos used in the exhibit. The book acts as an extension of the content of the show, as well as exhibition catalogue, and covers Denari’s other projects represented in the show. The series also contains a small amount of promotional media for Interrupted Projections, including one large and two small posters, a postcard, and a t-shirt.

Description:
Le collage intitulé " Galerie de la grande architecture canadienne " a été produit dans le contexte de l'exposition " Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " présentée au Musée national d'art moderne de la ville de Paris au cours de l'été 1973. Le collage, appliqué sur papier cartonné, représente une sélection de textes et d'images d'œuvres exposées par Melvin Charney lors de cette exposition. L'objectif de l'exposition "Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " était de réunir des artistes ou des regroupements d'artistes engagés dans des discours critiques et de présenter leur travail non pas tant comme des oeuvres d'art mais plutôt " comme symptômes d'un certain climat ." (1) Selon le catalogue de l'exposition, et les divers comptes rendus qui en ont été fait dans la presse spécialisée, celle-ci était divisée en cinq sections. Quatre de ces sections étaient consacrées à des médiums spécifiques : art céramique, vidéo, peinture et sculpture, cinéma. Une cinquième section présentait des œuvres produites par des collectif d'artistes quelques soit le médium employé: galerie coopérative, coop d'artistes, workshop, banques d'images. C'est dans cette dernière section que Melvin Charney présenta trois projets créé avec l'assistance d'un groupe d'"action photographique", soit un "pavillon d'exposition" réalisé en 1969, une "monument à l'aviation" (1969) et "une galerie de la grande architecture" (1973). Dans un texte de Melvin Charney publié dans le catalogue de l'exposition, ces trois projets furent présentés sous l'intitulé "Quelques monuments nationaux". Le collage incorpore en une première strate collée obliquement par rapport au sens du carton d'œuvre, une image (en partie rognée), un texte manifeste (en partie coupée) et un intitulé. Ces trois éléments de toutes évidences se rapportent à L'ensemble des trois projets présenté par Charney. Sur une seconde strate, collée dans le sens du carton d'œuvres, Charney a collé des textes et des images se rapportant à deux des projets soit "une galerie de la grande architecture" (image et texte 25, 26 31 et 34, et monument à l'aviation, image et texte 50. Le collage est signé et daté en bas à droite. Des indications d'intercalation d'illustration au crayon graphite, - avec la mention "cut line" - détermine à même le carton d'œuvre, une zone regroupant l'ensemble des textes et des images collés. Au dos du collage figure à nouveau la signature de Charney et une numéro d'inventaire renvoyant possiblement à un catalogue constitué par Charney de son œuvre : "MC 1973 ? 02". Ce collage a servi de maquette pour la production d'une affiche publicisant l'exposition, ce qui explique la présence d'indications d'intercalation d'illustrations - une donnée signalant en règle générale que l'œuvre a été produite pour être publiée. (2) Ceci dit on ne sait pas si celle-ci fut effectivement tirée (nous n'en connaissons aucun exemplaire) avant, pendant ou après l'exposition. Cet aspect de l'historique de cette œuvre reste encore au moment où nous écrivons, à éclaircir. On peut établir toutefois avec certitude que cette œuvre, ou l'affiche qui en fut éventuellement tirée, a servi à produire la mise en page d'un article de Melvin Charney publié en avril 1974 dans la revue britannique Architectural Design. Un transparent a sans doute été pris du collage puis envoyé avec l'article de Charney à l'éditeur. Ce dernier a, à son tour, cadré l'image en fonction des indications d'intercalation d'illustrations latérales et supérieure,- on observe que le 3 de 1973 est bel et bien coupé - puis a éliminé les trois quart inférieur pour y placer le texte de l'article. La présence dans l'article publié du nom du musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris - section arc, et son absence dans le collage est du à une perte. Un examen attentif révèle des marques sans doute de colle pour la bandelette de papier. Dans cet article publié en anglais Charney. 1- Suzanne Page, Canada trajectoires 73 : Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris, [Montréal?] : Publié par les Éditions Médiart pour le compte du Conseil des arts du Canada, [1973], [introduction] 2- Information fournie par l,artiste; voir aussi la légende de l'œuvre lors de sa reproduction dans un catalogue en 2000 où elle est décrite comme étant une maquette pour une affiche en offset sur papier.

Le collage intitulé " Galerie de la grande architecture canadienne " a été produit dans le contexte de l'exposition " Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " présentée au Musée national d'art moderne de la ville de Paris au cours de l'été 1973. Le collage, appliqué sur papier cartonné, représente une sélection de textes et d'images d'œuvres exposées par Melvin Charney lors de cette exposition. L'objectif de l'exposition "Canada-Trajectoires 1973 " était de réunir des artistes ou des regroupements d'artistes engagés dans des discours critiques et de présenter leur travail non pas tant comme des oeuvres d'art mais plutôt " comme symptômes d'un certain climat ." (1) Selon le catalogue de l'exposition, et les divers comptes rendus qui en ont été fait dans la presse spécialisée, celle-ci était divisée en cinq sections. Quatre de ces sections étaient consacrées à des médiums spécifiques : art céramique, vidéo, peinture et sculpture, cinéma. Une cinquième section présentait des œuvres produites par des collectif d'artistes quelques soit le médium employé: galerie coopérative, coop d'artistes, workshop, banques d'images. C'est dans cette dernière section que Melvin Charney présenta trois projets créé avec l'assistance d'un groupe d'"action photographique", soit un "pavillon d'exposition" réalisé en 1969, une "monument à l'aviation" (1969) et "une galerie de la grande architecture" (1973). Dans un texte de Melvin Charney publié dans le catalogue de l'exposition, ces trois projets furent présentés sous l'intitulé "Quelques monuments nationaux". Le collage incorpore en une première strate collée obliquement par rapport au sens du carton d'œuvre, une image (en partie rognée), un texte manifeste (en partie coupée) et un intitulé. Ces trois éléments de toutes évidences se rapportent à L'ensemble des trois projets présenté par Charney. Sur une seconde strate, collée dans le sens du carton d'œuvres, Charney a collé des textes et des images se rapportant à deux des projets soit "une galerie de la grande architecture" (image et texte 25, 26 31 et 34, et monument à l'aviation, image et texte 50. Le collage est signé et daté en bas à droite. Des indications d'intercalation d'illustration au crayon graphite, - avec la mention "cut line" - détermine à même le carton d'œuvre, une zone regroupant l'ensemble des textes et des images collés. Au dos du collage figure à nouveau la signature de Charney et une numéro d'inventaire renvoyant possiblement à un catalogue constitué par Charney de son œuvre : "MC 1973 ? 02". Ce collage a servi de maquette pour la production d'une affiche publicisant l'exposition, ce qui explique la présence d'indications d'intercalation d'illustrations - une donnée signalant en règle générale que l'œuvre a été produite pour être publiée. (2) Ceci dit on ne sait pas si celle-ci fut effectivement tirée (nous n'en connaissons aucun exemplaire) avant, pendant ou après l'exposition. Cet aspect de l'historique de cette œuvre reste encore au moment où nous écrivons, à éclaircir. On peut établir toutefois avec certitude que cette œuvre, ou l'affiche qui en fut éventuellement tirée, a servi à produire la mise en page d'un article de Melvin Charney publié en avril 1974 dans la revue britannique Architectural Design. Un transparent a sans doute été pris du collage puis envoyé avec l'article de Charney à l'éditeur. Ce dernier a, à son tour, cadré l'image en fonction des indications d'intercalation d'illustrations latérales et supérieure,- on observe que le 3 de 1973 est bel et bien coupé - puis a éliminé les trois quart inférieur pour y placer le texte de l'article. La présence dans l'article publié du nom du musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris - section arc, et son absence dans le collage est du à une perte. Un examen attentif révèle des marques sans doute de colle pour la bandelette de papier. Dans cet article publié en anglais Charney. 1- Suzanne Page, Canada trajectoires 73 : Musée d'art moderne de la ville de Paris, [Montréal?] : Publié par les Éditions Médiart pour le compte du Conseil des arts du Canada, [1973], [introduction] 2- Information fournie par l,artiste; voir aussi la légende de l'œuvre lors de sa reproduction dans un catalogue en 2000 où elle est décrite comme étant une maquette pour une affiche en offset sur papier.
