  • tank tv: Florence Lazar

    By on

    Now Showing: Florence Lazar
    12th August - 1st September 2009
    tank.tv is pleased to present a selection of work by Florence Lazar.

    Since the late 1990’s, Florence Lazar has been making films about the situation in Former-Yugoslavia.

    The events in the region have led her to explore questions of identity and politics in a post-conflict situation. Mostly motionless, her camera stresses the presence of the artist which is characterised by her absence of verbal or physical intervention. Similar to that of a mute interlocuter, Lazar’s position creates a space that belongs to the people she films, a space that is shaped by their testimonies on war, politics and identity.

    Florence Lazar was born in 1966 and studied at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris where she lives and works. She has exhibited widely internationally and in 2007 her work was included in Vide´o et apre`s, Centre Pompidou, Paris

    Essential Visual Music: Rare Classics
    September 1 2009, 19:30 - 21:30
    Pacific Film Archive
    2575 Bancroft Way
    Berkeley, CA

    This evening features a range of works, from 1920s German film experiments to light show psychedelia, and highlights the evolving technology and artistic sophistication of visual music and experimental animation. Several of the works in the show were designed to be used in performance contexts, light shows and other expanded forms of cinema, often with independent musical accompaniment. Accordingly, one of the themes that emerges from this program is a dialogue between structure and spontaneity in visual music.

    Many of the prints in this show represent recent preservation work by CVM. Includes films by Oskar Fischinger (incl. William Moritz's 35mm Cinemascope R-1 recreation version), Charles Dockum (3 new preservation prints!), Mary Ellen Bute, Jules Engel (3 new preservation prints), John Stehura, David Lebrun, and Sixties Light Show films by Jud Yalkut/USCO and The Single Wing Turquoise Bird Light Show film. Curated by CVM.

    See This Sound
    Exhibition / Web Archive / Symposium
    www.see-this-sound.at

    The project SEE THIS SOUND explores the past and present of the link between image and sound in art, media and perception. The starting point is the fact that our world of experience today is marked by an omnipresence of audiovisual products and structures, in which the cultural production of image and sound is closely intertwined artistically, and in terms of media technology and market strategy. SEE THIS SOUND reacts to this by presenting and discussing different realizations of contemporary art and art studies. The current fields of reference range here from pop culture to the theory of perception and media technology. The exhibition will include works by Jordan Belson, Mary Ellen Bute, Tony Conrad, Martin Arnold, Peter Kubelka, Steina Vasulka,  Alvin Lucier, George Brecht, Throbbing Gristle, Granular Synthesis, Carsten Nicolai and many many others...

    Promised Lands
    Susan Sontag, 16mm, 1974, 87 mins

    Susan Sontag¹s third directorial effort and her only documentary, Promised Lands scrutinizes the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict and the growing divisions within Jewish thought over the question of Palestinian sovereignty. Shot in Israel during the final days and immediate aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Promised Lands is undoubtedly one of Sontag¹s most incisive examinations of contemporary Jewish consciousness, and she considered it her most personal film.

    Sontag structures the film as an antiphony between two sets of images. The first consists of observational sequences detailing moments from modern Israel: desert landscapes, patrols of roadside soldiers, old men and women at the Wailing Wall, Israeli grocery stores and movie theaters, the Jerusalem War Cemetery, a military psychiatric ward, and a wax museum depicting the official history of the state. Intercut throughout are conversations with two intellectuals: writer Yoram Kaniuk, a supporter of Palestinian rights who sees Israel shifting from its socialist roots to an American-style commercial culture, and physicist Yuval Ne¹eman, who argues for the endemic nature of Arab anti-Semitism. Though the film grants no direct access to Arab or Palestinian voices, its clear elaboration of the debate prompted Israeli censors to ban its initial release, claiming it would be "damaging to the country's morale." Stateside, Stanley Kaufman praised the film¹s Hegelian quality, writing that it presents ³not a struggle between truth and falsehood but between two opposing, partial truths.²

  • Serpentine Gallery Park Nights: Keren Cytter

    By on

    Serpentine Gallery Park Nights: Keren Cytter
    Friday 31 July 8pm

    Every Friday night this summer, the Serpentine Gallery presents talks, performances, film-screenings and a licensed bar in the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2009 designed by Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA, as part of its annual Park Nights programme.

    Berlin-based artist Keren Cytter screens her new film The Great Tale of The Devil's Hill and The Endless Search For Freedom (75min, Digital Video, 2008-2009). Cytter's films are characterised by a non-linear and cyclical logic, her poetic montages of images recalling amateur home movies and video diaries. This distinctly analytical approach to film-making challenges the way in which the strategies and clichés of the media permeate our reality.

    All Park Nights tickets £5/£4
    Available from the Gallery Lobby Desk or Ticketweb: 08700 600 100

  • Tank tv : Jacco Olivier 22nd July - 11th August

    tank tv. Now Showing: Jacco Olivier
    22nd July - 11th August 2009
    tank.tv is pleased to present a showcase of the work of Dutch artist Jacco Olivier.

    These short videos exemplify the dense painterly technique that has come to define Olivier’s work within the realm of moving image and position him somewhere between painter, filmmaker and animator. Each work is 'a slice of life' and the effect on viewing is of a feeling forgotten or a mystery unravelling. By withholding any meaningful narrative Olivier leaves viewers examining their own desire for meaning within these little, emotive pieces which seem like so much flotsam from the artist’s own experience.

    “The images he (Olivier) makes are obviously painterly, their brushwork bold and narrative, their colour-sense superb. Yet the point of painting is that it is framed, that it frames (or freeze-frames) a turning world. By contrast, Olivier’s frames do all of those transitory things we expect of film, so that you’re constantly longing to shout “Stop!”; to be given a moment to appreciate his individual visions. We expect different things of painting and cinema. By running the two together, Olivier shakes the way we see the world.” - Charles Darwent, The Independent on Sunday, 2007.
