GELD ODER LEBEN KUNST UND ERFOLG
A documentary by Gerd Scobel
Trotz Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrisen boomt der Kunstmarkt. Zwar sind Ölfarben und Installationen keine harte Währung, aber sie geben dem Käufer ein Lebensgefühl und ein Image, das durch andere Medien nicht zu bekommen ist. Aber welche Kunst ist erfolgreich und was bedeutet überhaupt Erfolg? Gert Scobel spricht mit Künstlern, Kuratoren und Kunstexperten darüber, was Erfolg ausmacht.
Wie funktioniert dieser Kunst-Markt? Laut Zahlen und Schätzungen liegt der Anteil der Künstler, die nicht von ihrer Kunst leben können bei 95 Prozent. Dabei stellt sich die Frage, ob die Werke eines finanziell erfolglosen Künstlers weniger bedeutsam sind als die Objekte, die in den großen Museen ausgestellt werden.
Videos: Künstler und Kunstvermittler im Gespräch Gert Scobel hat Künstler und Kunstvermittler besucht und mit ihnen über die Bedeutung und Entwicklung von Kunstwerken gesprochen - mit dem Maler Jonas Burgert, der Fotografin Stefanie Schneider, dem Museumsdirektor Kasper König und dem Galeristen Hans Mayer. Die Sendung stellt die Frage nach dem, was Erfolg in der Kunst ist - und bietet einige überraschende Antworten.

Festival Saint Germain des Près
Galerie Catherine et André Hug, Paris
Vernissage Thursday, November 3 
Margarita Smoke Rings, 1/5, 2009 (125x150cm)
The Saint Germain-des-Prés photo festival is one of the biggest current events in Paris in November with an increasing number of participants. The festival shows the wealth and diversity of the locations, composed of art galleries, specialized bookstores and photo agencies dedicated to photography in Saint Germain des Prés. For this second edition in 2011, the principal theme is "crossed views": words and images. It explores complicity between writers and photographers.
The participating galleries will show projects in relation with this theme.
We will present Stefanie Schneider and Laurent Chalumeau for they share an obvious and great common link.
Stefanie Schneider's pictorial narratives mostly shot in the South West of the United States will to be shown in the gallery and we'll have readings and talks about Laurent Chalumeau's book "Moi & «Bobby Mc Gee". The book is a study of a song "Me and Bobby Mc Gee" by Chris Kristofferson sung by Janis
Joplin (among others). The novel is just like Stefanie Schneider's work, a story of a wandering and careless youth and passionate love. It is a roadmovie taking place in America, a rosebud, a sign of tribal and generational connivance. This book and Stefanie Schneider's work speaks to everyone who believes in the endless power of this magic song and even more to those who don't.

ROLLO CONTEMPORARY ART, LONDON
Press Launch and Private View, Tuesday, July 5, 5pm
Stefanie Schneider, Radha Mind Screen, 1999, Analog C-Print,128 x 125 cm
ROLLO Contemporary Art is delighted to announce details of the forthcoming solo exhibition of works by German photographer, Stefanie Schneider at ROLLO Contemporary Art from 6th July – 2nd September 2011.
Taking the American West as her inspiration, Schneider’s alluring female characters are placed within the vast, sun drenched landscapes of California. Often in wigs and colourful dress Schneider’s images evoke ideas of masquerade and play, however the intense gazes of Schneider’s female characters undermine their playful edge suggesting an unnerving or tragic quality beneath the surface of these glossy women. Together her photographs evoke love, pain, loneliness, alienation and re-discovery and collectively can be seen to suggest a social commentary on America; pointing to the cracks beneath the surface of the glitz and glamour of Western American and the ‘American Dream’. Using expired Polaroid film which is then enlarged, Schneider’s images both emphasise the sun drenched light of California and embody the cinematographic quality of the films of Quentin Taratino and Oliver Stone. Although carefully staged, Schneider’s works are reminiscent of forgotten memories, dreams and chance encounters. The blemishes of the flawed Polaroid film, further add to Schneider’s intent to represent an imperfect narrative, whereby the viewer is left questioning. Schneider has commented on the relationship between her bleached out Californian dreamscapes and the disintegration of a faded Hollywood dream, “Hollywood is the quintessential dream factory, everyone goes there in search of their dreams, and many dreams are shattered there.” As a European living in Los Angeles, her work highlights aspects of melancholy and loss that lie beneath the gloss and glamour of today’s America. Stefanie Schneider was born in Germany in 1968. She received her MFA in Communication Design at the Folkwang Schule Essen, Germany. Currently she divides her time between her two studios in Berlin and Los Angles.
ROLLO Contemporary Art, London launched in 2005. The principle concern of the gallery is to present exhibitions which create a dialogue between innovative contemporary art and its theoretical contexts in the exhibition space. As well as holding solo exhibitions of gallery artists, the program at ROLLO focuses on thematic group exhibitions exploring trends in current art practice. A major focus at the gallery is the representation of women artists. From 2009 to 2011 the gallery curated a three part touring exhibition The Body in Women’s Art Now, which travelled to the New Hall Art Collection, University of Cambridge.

Galerie Catherine et André Hug, Paris
Vernissage Saturday, June 18, 4pm
Du 16 juin au 30 juillet 2011, la galerie Catherine et André Hug présente dans son espace une sélection de photographies de Stefanie Schneider.
Pour ses séries photographiques Stefanie Schneider utilise exclusivement du matériel Polaroid périmé, dont les substances chimiques réagissent de manière aléatoire, provoquant des aberrations chromatiques, des trous et des halos, qui se posent sur les motifs arrangés avec soin comme une seconde réalité. A l’aide du Polaroid, parfaitement adaptée aux instantanés, Stefanie Schneider donne à ses images de magnifiques effets picturaux, obtient des flous et met en scène le hasard. Stefanie Schneider peint avec ses films Polaroid. Elle évoque l’ambivalence entre imagination et interprétation, fiction et réalité, et laisse au spectateur le soin de fabriquer!sa propre image, de se situer dans un espace réel ou surréel. Le motif du désert alimente la dichotomie entre l’imagination et la réalité, en rupture constante avec la notion de repère fiable et les personnages évoluent dans un monde perdu...

For her photography series Stefanie Schneider exclusively uses expired Polaroid film in which the chemicals react in an unpredictable manner provoking chromatic aberrations, holes and haloes that carefully rest over the motifs like a second reality. Using Polaroid, perfectly adapted to capture an image instantaneously, Stefanie Schneider gives her images dazzling effects, obtains blurry images and orchestrates chance. Stefanie Schneider paints with Polaroid film and evokes the ambivalence between imagination and interpretation, fiction and reality and leaves the viewer in charge of constructing his own image and placing it in a real or unreal sitting. The desert motif nourishes a dichotomy between reality and imagination constantly at odds with the notion of a chronological time and characters who evolve in a lost world…

>> June 16 - August 21 | 2011 POLAROID [IM]POSSIBLE / THE WESTLICHT COLLECTION
WESTLICHT. SCHAUPLATZ FüR FOTOGRAFIE
Reception Thursday, June 16, 19.00h
»Untitled«, 2011, PX 680 Colorshade Push, 9x11cm (Original)
Als 2009 bekannt wurde, dass die legendäre Polaroid Collection mit ihren zwei Standorten in den USA und Europa als Teil der Konkursmasse des insolventen Unternehmens bei Sotheby’s New York versteigert werden sollte, ging ein Aufschrei durch die internationale Fotoszene: Angeführt von Chuck Close, protestierten Künstler, Museen und Fotoliebhaber weltweit gegen den Ausverkauf der Sammlung. Quasi in letzter Minute gelang es WestLicht, den europäischen Teil der Sammlung zu übernehmen und in seiner Gesamtheit zu erhalten. Gegründet von Edwin Land in den 1960er Jahren, umfasst dieser einmalige historische Bestand rund 4.400 Werke von 800 internationalen Künstlern. Die Ausstellung präsentiert am Beispiel ausgewählter Meisterwerke – von Ansel Adams bis Andy Warhol – einen ersten Querschnitt dieser einzigartigen Sammlung. Ergänzt werden die Polaroids durch jüngere Werke von Künstlern wie Nobuyoshi Araki und Daido Muriyama, die mit dem neuen Impossible-Sofortbildmaterial arbeiten. Eine erstaunliche Bandbreite an wichtigen Genres und innovativen Prozessen vermittelt die spezifische Originalität und Magie der Sofortbildkunst. Sie wird entlang der unterschiedlichen Kameras und Filmtypen vorgestellt, bis hin zu den faszinierenden 20x24-Zoll-Formaten. Begleitend erscheint der Katalog FROM POLAROID TO IMPOSSIBLE / MASTERPIECES OF INSTANT PHOTOGRAPHY – THE WESTLICHT COLLECTION im Hatje Cantz Verlag (hgg. von Achim Heine, Rebekka Reuter, Ulrike Willingmann; Hardcover, Deutsch-Englisch, 192 Seiten, 230 Farbabbildungen).
Eröffnet anlässlich der Feier von 10 Jahren WestLicht und 20 Jahren Leica Shop.
Impossible and WestLicht Museum of Photography preserve and lead the International Polaroid Collection into the future. Thanks to the commitment of Impossible, the producer of the new analog instant film material, the Vienna based Museum of Photography WestLicht purchased the International Polaroid Collection. WestLicht takes over 4.400 artworks from 800 artists (from Ansel Adams to Andy Warhol) and will exhibit a fine selection of these iconic images combined with some new contemporary works shot on new Impossible instant film
from June 17th, 2011. Formed between 1972 and 1990 by Polaroid, the legendary International Collection disappeared for 20 years in the archives of the Swiss Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne. Peter Coeln, owner of the WestLicht Museum and also an investor of the Impossible Project, has now saved the Polaroid Collection which had been put on the market by the liquidators dealing with the assets of the insolvent company. For almost two years the future of the unique Polaroid collection was fairly uncertain. The spectacular acquisition at the last moment secures the continued existence of this historic collection and presents it to a broad public for the first time. The future of the yet hidden analog treasure is thus not only saved but also brighter than ever before. After all these years the collection is finally going to be reconnected with its original concept. Dr. Florian Kaps, founder of the Impossible Project, says: “Most important is the fact that we finally found a perfect solution for not onl celebrating the incredible potential of all the existing artworks, but that we also formed a great setup to re-start the original concept by inviting contemporary artists to join this ongoing project by supplying them with the new generation of Impossible instant films”. The first impressions of this collaboration will proudly be presented at WestLicht from June 17th, 2011. This exhibition will for the first time show a complete representative profile of the traditional collection, displaying never before shown pieces. Combined with the first results of the new Impossible Collection, the magic of instant photography will be lifted onto the next level. Hatje Cantz published a catalog to accompany the exhibition: FROM POLAROID TO IMPOSSIBLE / MASTERPIECES OF INSTANT PHOTOGRAPHY – THE WESTLICHT COLLECTION. This publication features selected Polaroid masterpieces and new Impossible instant photography by contemporary artists such as Stefanie Schneider and Nobuyoshi Araki.

Introduction Michael Stoeber, Art Critic, Hannover.
»A wish«, 2009, C-Print mounted on Aluminium, 37x47cm, Edition 5
In mythischen Bildern amerikanischer Landschaften erarbeitet die seit Jahren in Kalifornien tätige deutsche Fotografin Stefanie Schneider facettenreiche, fotogra-fische Zyklen. Die entstehenden Erzählungen rekurrieren auf Bilder der Traumfa- brik Hollywood. Indem die Künstlerin ihre Darstellungen jedoch durch die Verwen- dung von abgelaufenem Polaroid-Material stört, das zu Farbveränderungen, Fehlern und Leerstellen innerhalb der Aufnahmen führt, thematisiert sie die Ambi- valenz des sprichwörtlichen »American Dream«. Stefanie Schneider entfaltet gleichsam ein Roadmovie mit ihrer lakonischen Bilderreise durch die Verheißun- gen und Abgründe einer Wüstenlandschaft, in der die Protagonisten an der Schnittstelle von Fotografie und Film agieren. Ihre sich im Licht auflösenden, poetischen Fotografien, die unscharf wie Traumsequenzen aufscheinen, erzeu- gen spannungsvolle Gefühle zwischen Vertrautheit und Fremdheit, Klischee und Realität.

30WORKS GALLERY, COLOGNE
Reception Sunday, May 15, 15.00h
»Beloved«, 2007, C-Print mounted on Aluminium, 70x90cm, Edition 5
Im Rahmen des „Kultursonntags“ eröffnet am Sonntag, den 15. Mai 2011 um 15 Uhr in der Kölner Galerie 30works die zweiwöchige Ausstellung „Polaroids“ mit Arbeiten der Folkwang-Absolventin Stefanie Schneider.
Seit einigen Jahren schon sorgt sie mit ihren Bildern für Furore. Ihre Blow Ups, die sie in ihrem eigenen Labor selbst vergrößert, bewegen sich zwischen Film, Fotografie und Malerei. Surreal entrückt und irritierend wie ein Thriller von David Lynch, erinnern sie mit ihrer verblichenen Farbigkeit an die Pop-Art der 50er Jahre.
Die Fotokünstlerin arbeitet mit der für Schnappschüsse gebräuchlichen Polaroid- Technik. Dabei verwendet sie ausschließlich Material, das bereits das Verfallsdatum überschritten hat. Die dadurch bedingten unkalkulierbaren chemischen Prozesse erzeugen eine aufregende Ästhetik des Unvollkommenen: Farbverschiebungen, Flecken und Überstrahlungen legen sich wie eine zweite Realität über die sorgsam inszenierten Motive. Der Zufall wird bei Stefanie Schneider ganz bewusst zum künstlerischen Komplizen.
Die gebürtige Cuxhavenerin arrangiert ihre Lichtbilder bevorzugt in der Weite des amerikanischen Südwestens. Ihre Reminiszenzen an die Genreszenen der Traumfabrik taucht sie in die Fehlfarben einer flüchtigen Illusion. Es sind Standbilder eines Films, der im Kopf des Betrachters abläuft, „Polaroad Movies“ auf den verschlungenen Pfaden unserer Ängste und Sehnsüchte.

STEFANIE SCHNEIDER PHOTO FILMFEST DRESDEN
RENéE'S DREAM (USA / 2005, 4')
....In René’s Dream, issues of role reversal take place as the cowgirl on her horse undermines the male stereotype of Richard Prince’s ‘Marlboro Country’. This photo-work along with several others by Schneider, continue to undermine the focus of the male gaze, for her women are increasingly autonomous and subversive. They challenge the male role of sexual predator, often taking the lead and undermining masculine role play, trading on male fears that their desires can be so easily attained. That she does this by working through archetypal male conventions of American culture, is not the least of the accomplishments in her work. What we are confronted with frequently is of an idyll turned sour, the filmic clichés that Hollywood and American television dramas have promoted for fifty years. The citing of this in the Romantic West, where so many of the male clichés
were generated, only adds to the diminishing sense of substance once attributed to these iconic American fabrications. And, that she is able to do this through photographic images rather than film, undercuts the dominance espoused by time-based film. Film feigns to be seamless though we know it is not. Film operates with a story board and setting in which scenes are elaborately arranged and pre-planned. Schneider has thus been able to generate a genre of fragmentary events, the assemblage of a story without a storyboard. But these post-narratological stories require another component, and that component is the viewer who must bring his own interpretation as to what is taking place. If this can be considered the upside of her work, the downside is that she never positions herself by giving a personal opinion as to the events that are taking place in her photographs. But, perhaps, this is nothing more than her use of the operation of chance dictates....

For its fifth edition, SHOW OFF 2010 becomes the SOLO SHOW art fair of Paris. Show OFF will take place October 21-24, 2010 during Paris’ Contemporary Art Week and will be set in a lumious, elegant tent in the heart of Paris, a few steps away from the Grand Palais and the banks of the Champs Elysees. Painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, video, and installation; all media will be represented in a unique format highly favorable to participating artists.
The Catherine and André Hug Gallery seeks to discover young talent and promote them internationally. The gallery works largely with artists exploring the times, and techniques of their time. The German Photographer Stefanie Schneider will offer photographic portraits of the American West exploring the fragility of the America dream. In her series Schneider tests the limits of the Polaroid and all its chromatic aberrations as part of a carefully crafted motif of halos and holes representative of a second reality.

Dans ses séries photographiques où elle tient souvant le premier rôle, l’utilisation exclusive du matériel Polaroid périmé provoquent des aberrations chromatiques, des trous et des halos, qui se posent sur les motifs arrangés avec soin comme uns seconde réalité.
