Dinçel works with film to denote upon the body, gender, nature, immigration, and dislocation in juxtaposition with their material: texture, color and the sustainability of emulsion.   Nazli Dinçel is currently pursuing her MFA in film at the San Francisco Art Institute. She received her BFA with Honors from UW-Milwaukee. She was awarded a Kodak film grant in 2009. Her works have been exhibited in the USA at the Minute Gallery, the Pink House, Center and the UWM Union Theatre.

  • Conversations at the Edge: Gregory Markopoulos' Eniaios II

    By on

    ENIAIOS II (Gregory Markopoulos, 1949-1991)Conversations at the Edge: Gregory Markopoulos' Eniaios II
    Thursday, November 3, 18h
    Gene Siskel Film Center
    164 N. State, Chicago, IL, USA

    Remembered as the “supreme erotic poet” of the American avant-garde, Gregory Markopoulos spent decades creating his monumental film Eniaios, an eighty-hour composition of twenty-two cycles. Eniaios (meaning “unity” or “uniqueness”) was originally conceived for screening at Temenos, Markopolous’s open-air theater in the hills overlooking Lyssaraia, Greece. Silent yet sensuous, the film journeys through a host of imagery, including pulses of white light, passages of black, fragments of earlier works, and images of sacred places. Markopoulos died before Eniaios could be printed and his partner, filmmaker Robert Beavers, has spent the last two decades restoring the work. Only six of the twenty-two film orders have been printed thus far. Tonight’s screening of Eniaios II — the second cycle in the piece and an epic film in its own right — affords a rare opportunity to view Markopoulos’s magnum opus in the making. Gregory Markopoulos, 1949-1991, Greece/USA, 16mm, 125 min plus discussion.

    Eniaios VI – VIII will premiere June 29 – July 1, 2012 at the Temenos in Lyssarea (Arcadia) Greece.  For more info, visit: www.the-temenos.org.

  • Michal Brzezinski: Fake Art

    Michal Brzezinski: Fake ArtMichal Brzezinski: Fake Art
    10 November – 11 December 2011
    Opening: November 10, 2011 , 18h (2nd floor)
    BWA SOKÓL Gallery of Contemporary Art in Nowy Sacz
    33-300 Nowy Sacz, ul. Kosciuszki 34, Poland

    Michal Brzezinski is an artist faithful to the medium of video, who has been striving for a decade to restore the art of video to the position of experimental art and who has negated attempts at adapting and appropriating it to the role imposed by the context of the traditional visual arts. He attempts to discover new elements both in the montage and in visual aesthetics of this medium. The present exhibition constitutes another breakthrough in his creative output which has generated many a controversy so far. Since these controversies are not political but aesthetic in nature, his works are a far cry from scandal-seeking and populism. However, in the artistic context, this show is truly ‘volcanic’ and, following subsequent eruptions of Brzezinski’s ideas, the intellectual landscape is swept off the surface and the defining of a new aesthetic space commences.
