Gut leben ohne nix

Begleitprogramm zur Ausstellung FULLY BOOKED: 50 Positionen zum Wandel des Raums in Bonn

“Gut leben ohne nix“ heißt die Kochperformance des Künstlers Götz Bury:
Ein Schnellkurs für all jene, die die Kunst erlernen möchten, ohne Geld zu leben. Während der Eröffnungswoche der Ausstellung FULLY BOOKED im Hotel Beethoven - vom 14. bis zum 21. November 2009 - wird in der ehemaligen Küche des Hotels ein Begleitprogramm der besonderen Art
geboten: Letztmalig, vor Abriss des Hotels, wird durch die Performance die Küche in ihrer ursprünglichen Funktion genutzt.

In anschaulicher Weise werden Techniken vermittelt, die zum (Über-)Leben in der globalisierten Wirtschaftskrise beitragen können. So stellt der gebürtige Hamburger Bury in seinem Kochstudio Selbstbausets für Küchenutensilien und Rezepte vor: Auf dem Programm stehen neben verschiedenen Techniken des Feuermachens die Herstellung eines Ofens aus Blechdosen sowie die Zubereitung von Köstlichkeiten wie Sägemehlbrot oder Grassuppe, die selbstverständlich an das Publikum verköstigt werden.

Um die letzten Wochen des Hotel Beethoven zu feiern, wird der gesamte Gebäudekomplex im Rahmen des Projekts HB - HOTEL BEETHOVEN bespielt.
Bereits seit August bis zum Abriss des Gebäudes finden unter anderem in der ehemaligen Hotelbar und der Küche des Hotels Tanz-, Theater-, Filmveranstaltungen, Konzerte und Lesungen statt. Höhepunkt des Projekts HB - HOTEL BEETHOVEN bildet die Ausstellung FULLY BOOKED, die vom 14.
November 2009 bis zum 28. Februar 2010 in den 56 Zimmern des Hotels und der Pächterwohnung stattfindet. Eröffnet wird die Ausstellung am 14.
November ab 18:00 Uhr, um 20:30 Uhr wird Götz Bury in der ehemaligen Hotelküche auftreten. Das gesamte Begleitprogramm des Projekts ist unter www.moving-locations.de zu finden.

Kristof shared his first-hand experiences in the developing world and related many of the individual stories that inspired him and his wife and co-author, Sheryl WuDunn, to write this powerful and important book. Jane Wales, President and CEO of the World Affairs Council of Northern California, served as moderator. Look for a podcast of this event coming to www.imow.org soon!

FULLY BOOKED:

50 Positionen zum Wandel des Raums

Ehemaliges Beethoven Hotel Bonn wird vom 14.11.2009 bis 28.02.2010 zur Kunsthalle

BONN. Das Paradies besteht aus sich bewegenden Kartons auf denen
Zeichnungen von Objekten befestigt sind: „It’s Paradiese here“ heißt die
Installation des Israeli Nir Alon. Er ist einer der 50 Künstler, die im
Rahmen der Ausstellung FULLY BOOKED ab dem 14. November in das ehemalige
Bonner Hotel Beethoven ziehen, um die Gästezimmer ein letztes Mal vor
dem Abriss zu beleben.

„Das Hotel Beethoven ist ideales Experimentierfeld und Spielwiese, eine
einmalige, vielleicht auch letztmalige Zeitkapsel, in der wir den
Zeitenwechsel thematisieren können“, sagen Christine Rühmann und Sjaak
Beemsterboer, die Kuratoren - zwei Künstler, die die Ausstellung
initiiert haben. „Seit der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands vor zwanzig
Jahren hat sich die Stadt Bonn nicht nur in ihrer politischen
Bedeutsamkeit verändert, sondern auch in ihrem Aussehen. Das Projekt HB
- HOTEL BEETHOVEN thematisiert diese Veränderung mit Blicken zurück und
in die Zukunft.“

Letztmalig werden für die Ausstellung FULLY BOOKED alle 56 Zimmer des
ehemaligen Hotels und die Pächterwohnung in der vierten Etage ausgebucht
sein: Eingeladen wurden Künstler aller Sparten, die sich insbesondere
mit dem Thema „Raum“ auseinandersetzen. Das Spektrum der Positionen
reicht dabei von Wandmalerei, Fotografie, Licht- und Videokunst bis hin
zu raumfüllenden Objektinstallationen.

Um die letzten Wochen des Hotel Beethoven zu feiern, wird der gesamte
Gebäudekomplex bespielt: Bereits seit August bis zum Abriss des Gebäudes
finden unter anderem in der ehemaligen Hotelbar und der Küche des Hotels
jeweils von Donnerstag bis Samstag, Tanz-, Theater-,
Filmveranstaltungen, Konzerte und Lesungen statt. Das Programm ist unter
www.moving-locations.de zu finden.

Presserundgang: Dienstag, 10. November 2009, 11 Uhr
Vernissage: Samstag, 14. November 2009, 18 Uhr
Ausstellungsdauer: 15. November 2009 – 28. Februar 2010
Finissage: Sonntag, 28. Februar 2010
Öffnungszeiten: M0, MI, DO, FR: 15.00 – 19.00 Uhr, SA, SO: 14.00 – 19.00
Uhr
Eintritt: € 5.–, Montag: Eintritt frei
Anschrift: Ehemaliges Hotel Beethoven, Rheingasse 24-26, 53113 Bonn

Zur Ausstellung erscheinen ein umfangreicher vierfarbiger Katalog, sowie
Editionen zum Projekt. Auch Bildmaterial in druckfähiger Auflösung steht
zur Verfügung und wird auf Nachfrage versendet.

Projekt HB - HOTEL BEETHOVEN

Das Hotel Beethoven beherbergte in seiner Glanzzeit viele internationale
Gäste aus Politik und Kultur und war jahrelang traditioneller Treffpunkt
des Oxford-Clubs. Mit seiner Lage direkt an der Rheinpromenade in
unmittelbarer Nähe zur Universität und zur Oper, nicht weit fort vom
politischen Zentrum, lag es im Herzen aller relevanten Ereignisse der
„Bonner Republik“.
Als eine der letzten Stationen der Metamorphose, die mit dem Mauerfall
einsetzte, soll das Hotel Beethoven nun einer Neubebauung weichen:
Terrassierte Wohnappartements und ein Restaurant entstehen an seiner
Stelle. Mit seinem „Charme“ der eher kleinstädtisch funktionalen als
repräsentativen Architektur, gilt es als eines der letzten Relikte der
Ära der Bonner Republik. Damals in den sechziger und siebziger Jahren,
verpflichtete sich die Bonner Bebauung zum Understatement der
architektonischen Form. Die tatsächliche historische Relevanz, die den
unscheinbaren Gebäuden zugeschrieben werden kann, blieb dabei – oft sehr
gezielt – verborgen.

Sjaak Beemsterboer und Christine Rühmann sind Vorsitzende des Vereins ML
MOVING LOCATIONS e.V. durch den das Projekt HB - HOTEL BEETHOVEN
umgesetzt wird.

Sneak Preview of Economica: Women and the Global Economy Now on Sale: Additional tickets for Nicholas Kristof event A Visit from Indira Chakravarty Become a Member and Support our Upcoming Exhibition
Sneak Preview of Economica: Women and the Global Economy Contributor Riane Eisler says we need to redefine women’s roles in the new economy
I.M.O.W.’s upcoming online exhibition Economica: Women and the Global Economy will feature guest essays by prominent women re-envisioning the economy, as well as art and creative works from our online community. Exploring topics ranging from business leadership and philanthropy to microenterprise and grassroots solutions, Economica aims to spark new, timely discussions about women’s experiences, contributions and challenges in this era of financial crisis and opportunity. Read an exhibition excerpt by I.M.O.W. Global Council member Riane Eisler. Eisler is president of the Center for Partnership Studies and author of The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics:
	“Women worldwide need equal access to education, well-paying jobs and credit; we need to change laws and customs that discriminate against us simply because we were born female. But—and this is what I want to focus on—women need more than that. In order to change the shameful fact that, worldwide, the mass of the poor and the poorest of the poor are women and their children, and in order to move to a more equitable and sustainable future, we not only need a bigger share of the present economic pie. To use a women’s metaphor, we have to bake a new economic pie. This means thinking outside the box of conventional economic systems, whether capitalist or socialist. Our old economic systems were constructed without taking into account the female half of humanity; indeed, often without taking into account the humanity of either men or women. These old systems have failed to give visibility and adequate value to the most basic and important human work: the work of caring for people, starting in early childhood. Work without which there would be no workforce; work without which none of us would be alive; work that has traditionally been relegated to women, and is still considered inappropriate for so-called “real men.” The current economic crisis offers a window of opportunity to re-examine and redefine what is and what isn’t productive work. We women must take leadership in this redefinition, not only for ourselves, but for everyone else as well—women, men and children. Indeed, this redefinition is essential as we move from the industrial to the post-industrial knowledge/information economy.”
Log on to www.imow.org to view the entire Economica exhibition beginning this October 17, 2009 and look for our Call for Community Submissions in the coming weeks!
Now on Sale: Additional tickets for Nicholas Kristof event Purchase tickets and buy a copy of ‘Half the Sky‘

On Wednesday, October 14, Nicholas Kristof will join I.M.O.W. and the World Affairs Council at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco to discuss Half the Sky. Due to popular demand, the museum has released additional tickets for this very special event! Tickets to the Nicholas Kristof event are available at www.imow.org. You can purchase the book and read reviews at www.halftheskymovement.org. Watch for more information on his insights coming soon to www.imow.org.
A Visit from Indira Chakravarty Indira talks with I.M.O.W. staff about economic challenges for women
	On August 24, I.M.O.W. Global Council member Indira Chakravarty joined the museum staff for a fascinating discussion about obstacles to women’s economic success in developing countries. Chakravarty recently retired as director of the All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health in Calcutta.

There will be an exclusive interview with Chakravarty on the relationship between economic and physical health for women in the museum’s upcoming exhibition Economica.
