  • In Vino Veritas: Secrets of the Intoxicated Life

    By on

    Drugs have been used to access the spiritual dimensions of existence in many cultures since the dawn of civilization.  Artists have likewise sought to escape the confines of the rational mind through the use of substances that expand the senses, alter perception, and suspend the repression of the conscious mind. And others, eager to subvert the conventions of a prevailing culture, have hoped to achieve liberation and even Enlightenment by modifying how they thought.  In Vino Veritas: Secrets of the Intoxicated Life will explore the heights and depths of consciousness to reveal truths inaccessible to the sober.

  • DIM Cinema: Almanac (Circa 1970)

    By on

    In 1970, a unique project was commissioned by the Stills Division of the National Film Board of Canada: fifteen West Coast artists -- many of them using a camera for the first time -- were invited to create a series of photographic booklets that were later compiled into an anthology. The B.C. Almanac(h) C-B artists conceived the book as an exhibition, and designed the accompanying exhibition as a 3-D version of the book’s production. To bring to light this forgotten event in the history of West Coast media art, Presentation House Gallery has reprinted the anthology and remounted the exhibition, along with works from the period by artists featured in the book.

  • Leslie Thornton. Estéticas de la incertidumbre

    By on
    Peggy And Fred In Hell (Leslie Thornton, 2013)

    A lo largo de cuatro décadas, la reputada artista norteamericana Leslie Thornton (1951) ha creado un complejo y penetrante corpus cinematográfico y videográfico, caracterizado por los desplazamientos constantes o por su posición intersticial. Algunos rasgos de una obra que se resiste a cómodas clasificaciones son la interrogación de las fronteras y los solapamientos entre medios y soportes; la continua exploración de las posibilidades que brinda una tecnología cambiante; la indagación crítica de las nociones de narración y representación; el cuestionamiento de la obra cerrada o terminada y, en consecuencia, el aplazamiento de su clausura semiótica. De hecho, muchas de sus piezas están concebidas como series capitulares en constante desarrollo y han sido reelaboradas y remontadas durante décadas, como ocurre con la ya clásica Peggy and Fred in Hell (1984-2015) —un hito del cine experimental contemporáneo— o con The Great Invisible (2002-), ambas presentadas aquí en su versión más reciente.

  • FILM IMPLOSION! Experiments in Swiss Cinema and Moving Images

    By on

    As the first exhibition dedicated to experimental Swiss cinema, Film Implosion! sheds light on a little known aspect of art history in Switzerland. It presents a wide panorama of genre practices within the medium of cinema more specifically, but also video work, from the 1960ʼs to today. Through formal interventions directly on the celluloid, various in-situ installations, unconventional documentaries, political, feminist, animated, and fiction films, all these artists challenged the traditional codes of cinema.

    For the past four years, and with the help of the SNF (Swiss National Fund), researchers François Bovier, Adeena Mey, Fred Truniger, and Thomas Schärer have been investigating experimental cinema in Switzerland. From this considerable excavating and mapping work, stems Fri Artʼs proposal for the firstever exhibition on this subject.   For the most part unseen, some 70 artworks, in digital or 16-mm format and signed by artists ranging from Fredi M. Murer, Dieter Meier, Carole Roussopoulos, Dieter Roth, HHK Schoenherr, Hannes Schüpbach, or Peter Stämpfli will be shown. The exhibition will also include video works, installations, and para-filmic objects spanning 50 years of radical creativity.

  • OFFoff-ON: Kozakis & Vaneigem / Kozakis & Savitskaya / Abrantes & Schmidt / Humbert & Penzel

    By on
    A Moment of Eternity in the Passage of Time (Nicolas Kozakis & Raoul Vaneigem, 2012)

    A Moment of Eternity in the Passage of Time is a black-and-white video projection with images by visual artist Nicolas Kozakis and text by philosopher and writer Raoul Vaneigem. The work was shot in Mount Athos, a remote mountain and peninsula in northern Greece, which is home to a number of Greek Orthodox monasteries. Access to the area is restricted to few visitors and women are not allowed. Apart from being a holy place, it is also one of escape and meditation for those who manage to gain access. The video unfolds in an undisclosed location, by the sea. A sad-faced, lone immigrant construction worker goes about the task of building a traditional stone house, at his own pace, stopping now and then to smoke a cigarette and contemplate the magnificent, totally still sea view. His task is facilitated by a few donkeys, ancient labourers which have now become all but obsolete from the modern workforce.

  • Film, Paper, Sound: Performance works by Sarah Halpern

    By on
    Watch (Sarah Halpern, 2015, paper on 35mm film)

    Microscope Gallery is very pleased to present an evening of moving image and sound performance works by Sarah Halpern in connection with her current solo exhibit "The Changing Room".

    The artist's 35mm film strip and vocal performance pieces in "Film, Paper, Sound" reflect themes of transformation, dualism, and the differences in individual perception and are related to the works on view at the gallery. In the new 35mm film strip projection collage "Watch" Halpern correlates time to magic tricks combining images from clippings about Houdini's graphic notes explaining how certain tricks are performed, recent pocket watch collector's catalogues, and fragments of texts from books about early cinema technology. The second piece "Strip" is a projection through a complete molted snake skin, which the artist found in a garden, stretched across a film strip.

  • Österreichisches Filmmuseum: Joseph Cornell

    By on
    Nymphlight (Joseph Cornell, 1957)

    Utopia Parkway: It is from this fittingly poetic-sounding address in Queens, NY, that the art of Joseph Cornell (1903-1972) emerged. Although he scarcely left New York during his lifetime, Cornell's work was strongly influenced by his interest in the old continent, astronomy and eras long past. Cornell was intrigued with all things distant; but instead of starting to travel he created his own cosmos: "This is a man who would look at the stars and dream about the mechanics of the universe." (Walter Hopps)

  • Visions 16.11.15: Isiah Medina + Nicolas Boone [RIDM]

    By on

    VISIONS in collaboration with RIDM presents: Isiah Medina + Nicolas Boone"The Disposessed And The Unbinding Of The Space-Time Poverty-Rabble" (60mins)

    "Medina's films seek to explore alternate ways of being in the world, resulting in one of the most unique representations of class and race in Canadian filmmaking and sounding the arrival of a fresh new voice." Andréa Picard - TIFF

    "Nicolas Boone dissects the violent neighborhood of Hillbrow, in Johannesburg, through a series of episodes drawn from real life stories. A man stands in the ledge of a high building, looking down. Another man gets attacked on the streets. Violence is seen as a force of rupture on this urban panorama." - INDIE14
