    Esperanza Collado, The Gas WorksXcèntric: The Gas Works Screenings & Threaded Cocktails performance
    Friday, January 11, 18:30h
    Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona

    The Gas Works are a series of unique films conceived as instable performances of sonic light. Made and projected by hand, the author - Esperanza Collado- describes them as "ephemeral collages in motion or gaseous light sculptures in which cinema is derailed and subject to stitching." The project explores performative aspects involved in mechanical projection such as the plasticity of luminous space, the reading of optical sounds, and the microstructures of the interval.

    - The Gas Thus Cuts in Bits (Esperanza Collado, 2012, 16mm and Super16, colour and b&w, optical sound, 8min. 40sec.)
    - The Illuminating Gas (Esperanza Collado, 2012, 16mm and Super16, colour and b&w, optical sound, 9min 6sec.)

    Operation Rewrite is the artistic collaboration of The Consecutive Impostors (Esperanza Collado and Maximilian Le Cain), in which they explore the cinematic workings of the cut and interruption. Their performances are disturbing and humorous, showing the artists as 'scientist' figures realizing a series of actions involving elaborate projections and sounds, awaken dreams, and domestic objects. Irish theatre maker John McCarthy collaborates.

    With the support of Culture Ireland.

    Climbing (Jesse McLean, 2011)Xcèntric: Austerity measures
    Thursday December 20th, 20h
    Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona

    Presentation by João Laia.

    This video programme, curated by João Laia and Andrey Shental, examines the notion of austerity not just in the sense we have become used to hearing it used in the political discourse of the present crisis, but as a creative tool. The films included present an inventory of poor materials and marginal techniques (such as found footage and low-resolution video), much used on the Internet but not so much in artistic circles, where they continue to shock.

    - Replica (Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), USA, 2011, 4 min 36 s)
    - The Meaning of "Austerity" (James Corbett, USA, 2010, 8 min (6 min fragment)
    - Touch my Body (Ilya Korobkov, Russia, 2009, 4 min)
    - Infinite Doors (Takeshi Murata, USA, 2010, 2 min)
    - Nobody Here (Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), USA, 2009, 2 min)
    - #67 (Jean-Gabriel Périot, France, 2012, 3 min 30 s)
    - The Misty Suite (James Richards, United Kingdom, 2009, 7 min)
    - Climbing (Jesse McLean, USA, 2011, 6 min 30 s (2 min 30 s fragment))

    - The Barbarians (Jean-Gabriel Périot, France, 2010, 5 min)

  • Xcèntric: Scenes in the life of Mary Shelley

    A Shape of Error (Abigail Child,2012)Xcèntric: Scenes in the life of Mary Shelley
    Sunday, December 16 2012, 18:30h
    Xcèntric CCCB, Montalegre, 5, 08001 Barcelona

    Filmed in Italy with amateur actors, A Shape of Error is an experimental feature film based on the diaries of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein, and her stepsister Claire, two emancipated women for their time. In the form of an imaginary home movie, Abigail Child tells her story, centring particularly on the passionate affair of Mary with Percy Shelley, employing formal strategies developed in earlier works (The Future Is Behind You, Covert Action), such as the shared screen and split images.

    - A Shape of Error (Abigail Child, United States, 2012, 72 min, 16 mm/digital).
