    TIE: The Ross Edition

    September 24-25, 2009
    Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center
    Lincoln, Nebraska

    In contrast to their predecessors like Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, Stan Brakhage, Peter Kubelka, and Andy Warhol, the younger generations of experimental cinema are perhaps defined by new cultural and geographical alliances. Innovative work with original celluloid-based film is undergoing a renaissance across the world. This revival manifests itself not only in the captivating works of new artists who have broken onto the scene, but also in film-cultural initiatives, in critical reception (particularly among young online writers) and in the art world, where film projections are again playing a paradoxical "avant-garde role" vis-à-vis the omnipresence of video installations.

    Join us for the new edition of TIE, a presentation that illuminates the continuing vitality of experimental cinema with 35mm and 16mm films from Argentina, Germany, Finland, USA, Spain, Netherlands, and Austria . A special presentation of the 1965 classic avant garde film, Vinyl, by Andy Warhol, will conclude the program.

    TIE curator, Christopher May, will be present to introduce the programs and answer questions.

    Programme:

    - Una forma estúpida de decir adiós, Paulo Pecora (35mm, 5 min., Argentina, 2004)
    - Freude (Delight), Thomas Draschan (35mm, 3min., Austria, 2009)
    - Opening Night, Tim Leyendekker (35mm, 5 min., Netherlands, 2009)

  • Visual Deflections featuring Pipilotti Rist

    By on

    Visual Deflections featuring Pipilotti Rist
    Curated by Eleanor Lawler and Katherine Nolan
    Sat 29th August 2009, 6.30pm till late
    Corbet Place
    Old Truman Brewery
    15 Hanbury st, E1 6QR, Ely's yard
    London

    Pipilotti Rist’s pioneering video work has been aspirational for a generation of emerging artists. This event will screen a selection of these artists alongside Rist’s (Absolutions) Pipilotti’s Mistakes. Her influence is reflected in the concept of Visual Deflections, a homage to her use of disjuncture and distortion

    The idea of Visual Deflections infers the interruption of the image through distortions of time, movement, light and space. It may also suggest a manipulation of assumptions and identifications that reverberate between the spectator and screen

    The works will be shown as a screening from 6.30 Sat night and video installation will continue until Sun 11pm. The venue, Corbet Place, is part of the Old Truman Brewery at the heart of Shoreditch’s vibrant creative scene. The brickwork of the club provides a stripped back aesthetic for the screening, which will be followed by music curated by Back to the Wood.

    Artists: Pipilotti Rist, Clint Enns, Ted Sonnenschein, Tessa Garland, Katherine Nolan , Eleanor Lawler, Jonathan Gilhooly, Jan Hakon Erichsen, Ciara Scanlan, Victoria Melody, Anders Weberg, Theo Tagholm, Lisa Flynn, Hillary Williams, Mathew Guillford, Alan Magee, Jeremy Newman, Saskia Vermeulen, Angelo Picozzi, Sarah Breen, Ella Bertilsson, Lia Chavez

  • 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...
