in progress: the Hoorn constellations

Andreas Templin and Andreas L. Hofbauer currently conduct a research-project at HMK Hoorn. 

'Systemic constellation' or simple 'constellation' labels a process related tool, which is used both in a therapeutic field and as a decision model for several areas of application such as script writing or management agendas. Noninvolved proxies or agents re-enact in a special environment (unconscious and unknown) relations of influence, power, dependency, domination and so on in certain time and space frames. 

„The Hoorn constellations“ pays no interest on such benchmarks, ideological or therapeutic, to optimize whatsoever. In fact it is an operational system. Communications as operations generate social systems. Elements (institutions, complex positions like „artist“, „museum“, „artwork“ etc.) communicate here and generate / mirror in doing so the homeostasis of the artworld which transforms itself in a sort of homeodynamics of the conditions of production, representation and economics of art (the state of contemporary art).

In a neutral space (white cube) a kind of dance is staged. The choreography follows the dynamic questionnaire of the public enquirers, who ask their questions in advance. The questions shall be a public reflection on the production, representation and economy conditions of art in all areas. From the fabrication of an art piece, its public representation to its marketing and branding at present and in the future. Variable arrangements of systemic constellation and interaction are staged as a field of vision, which become a contemporary critical tool of understanding. 

The constellations of these questions have been filmed with two hd-cameras, which will develop (with interviews of the agents) to single-channel videoworks.

recent text by Alex de Vries

Dutch art-critic Alex de Vries recently wrote this text on Andreas Templin's work-practice:

"Should you describe Andreas Templin's work in art-historical terms, you would have to call him a neo-situationist, but it is doubtful whether he would like this classification. In any case, he is an artist who, in a practical sense, endows his work with a content that is hardly tangible, but eminently suitable to being experienced. He is the producer of experiences and sensations which he prepares and facilitates with great care. He creates the conditions in which the things he has in mind can best come about. He selects the location, arranges the extras - hundreds, if necessary - takes care of the props, acquires the rights, organizes the distribution, the promotion, the PR and the post-production.

In fact, Andreas Templin is the artist par excellence. He keeps control of everything. Yet his one and only focus is the idea and the concept underlying massive interventions in public space. Often, these are immaterial in character, nor do they boast any real visual documentation. He acts on an international scale, working together with all kinds of people inside and outside the artistic world, gives lectures, organizes discussions, sets up exhibitions, takes up a political stance, offers opposition against the laws of the art market and yet tries to function in the world of art. In Madrid he asked 150 people to wear a T-shirt featuring the names of Paul Virilio, Giorgio Agamben and Michel Foucault, as fashionable logos of the philosophical collapse of this day and age. He placed an actor across from them, carrying two placards, reading: Hell is Coming, World Ends Today. The perspective of religion in a nutshell.

From an early age, Andreas Templin has also engaged in music making, playing the piano especially. He likes to whistle some tune or other, and recorded a Bach composition in which he casually whistled the music, in accordance with John Cage's adagium that music is best ingested inadvertently when, walking down the street, you hear a melody coming from a house. Andreas Templin's view is that every decision he makes as an artist, is hand-made: “You cannot renounce your signature.” ⓒAlex de Vries

Evolution de l'Art- work by Andreas Templin available

opening 09.12. Evolution de l'Art (EdlA). New branch at Het Blauwe Huis [The Blue House] Amsterdam. Work available by Andreas Templin.



The gallery Evolution de l'Art (EdlA) arises from a collaboration
between SPACE projects/residency lab/store, Bratislava, and Cesare
Pietroiusti. Evolution de l'Art is a commercial gallery for
contemporary art which only sells artworks that are immaterial, with
no physical residue, and it does not release certificates of
authenticity, nor statements or receipts. EdlA will represent, on a
non-exclusive basis, artists whose artwork is, at least in the case of
some specific projects, alien from any physical-material component.
Beyond this condition, there will not be any other limitation or
requisite for represented artists in terms of medium or technique.
The curator of this exhibition is Yasser Ballemans. Details on the exhibition, the opening and the offered artwork can be found at evolutiondelart.org
