Part of their new strand of screenings at Close-Up, Filmarmalade presents a screening of moving image work by artists Pil and Galia Kollectiv. Pil and Galia Kollectiv's films are grounded in an interest in the relationship between art and politics. Following speculative scenarios to their logical conclusion, they re-imagine the consumer riot as a future re-enactment, Marx's Capital as an asparagus ballet, archaeological research at Stonehenge as a forgotten ritual and an economic endgame as a dialogue between computers.

Their new work, The Plague and Its Segmentations, presented here as the world premiere screening continues their investigation of fractured temporalities and science fiction narrative as a means of interrogating the present.

During this presentation we show the legendary Outer and Inner Space by Andy Warhol in its original form, this means with two 16mm projectors and two screens. This epic work contains all the Warholian artistic elements: fame, the portrait, repetion, the reproduction of images... intertwined with Warhol's film work, which turns this film into a selfconscious performance, a homemade Warhol superstar that thus provides commentary on the star system itself. Edie Sedgwick sits next to a monitor that plays a video of her head, while she talks to herself.

Two rarely seen videos highlight the impact of language, translation, and silence in the work of American artists Mike Kelley and Ryan Trecartin. Kelley’s silent, two-fold video Test Room… and A Dance… jumps between protocols of scientific animal study and modernist choreography in a surreal laboratory environment. A unique version of Trecartin’s The Re'Search (Re'Search Wait’S) made for a 2014 exhibition at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing premieres here for the first time outside China.
