URBAN RESEARCH program III Interventions, Transforming Public Space Directors Lounge Friday, 15 February 2013 18:00

  More and more artists not only use different media in their art practice, but they chose to create art in public space, use it as a public stage, or try to actively change it by public interventions. An “invisible performance”, invisible, because it has not been publicly announced, may not physically change a place, however it may change its meaning, its potential, and the ideas of use of public space in general. Curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr With: Filipe Afonso, Garielle Le Bayon, Jaime Rguez Lopez, Jan Simanek, Katze und Krieg, Kika Nicolela, Kollektiv Graukarte, Laura Kissel, Nuno Escudeiro, Ondrej Mlady, Phillipp Hartmann, Signe Theill, Vladimir Turner, Vojtech Fröhlich

Mark Street

Tales of Urban Fascination. "Other films paint portraits of characters wrestling with their alienation from place. These films juxtapose narration and imagery so that the viewer is challenged to pick up the pieces. The films flutter between states, combining elements of fiction writing, diary, travelogue, landscape photography and documentary."

Dan Boord, Luis Valdovino

Themes. "This post Cold War story proposes that history did not end with the collapse of the Berlin Wall, but has been reinvented in a children’s theatrical production of Doña Faustina somewhere in Yucatan, Mexico."

Kevin T. Allen

"In recent years, I have merged my skills as image maker and sound artist to explore urban space; in particular, the symbolic role that sight and sound plays to shape our awareness of such space."

My work deals with subjective, embodied mediations of cities, bodies and personal narratives, exploring performed, humanized patterns within the apparatus of technology via digital machines of transformation that I construct

Gabrielle Le Bayon

Image Of A City, Strivings Aside is an artist publication based on a text used in my film Image of a City (2011). The text was the transcript of a series of conversations I recorded with friends and family. Parts of the text I didn't use in the film were re-written and edited by the writer Paul Buck who collaborated with me on this self-publication. (...)

Laura Kraning

DEVIL’S GATE explores the metaphysical undercurrents of a Southern California landscape scarred by fire. The film lyrically depicts the physical and mythological terrain of Devil’s Gate Dam, located at the nexus of Pasadena’s historical relationship with technology and the occult, and intertwining with its central figure, Jack Parsons, who some believe to have opened a dark portal in this place.

Claudia Larcher

In Empty Rooms Larcher propels the impressive game which emerges in her other works by means of memories stored in rooms and their emotionally evocative qualities. This tends to make us believe the idea that objects are living beings... (SANDRO DROSCHL)

Whether her film or photography is concerned, Vermette’s aesthetic is driven by collage. Her long exposure photos are projected into the abandoned hotel rooms they were taken in, and re-photographed with an expressionistic quality that grows from the mouldy floorboards like spirits roaming these old rooms. (Aaron Zeghers)

Rhayne Vermette featured at Cineflyer Winnipeg

Michael Poetschko

There are gaps and limits in our understanding – be they vernacular, scientific, abstract, or what have you - which frame generative and exploratory spaces. They encourage stories, give protagonists obstacles, define resistance and arouse change. Michael Poetschko has been building stories, places and characters to map out an urban contact zone for his cinematic essay Zona. He aims to explore the precarities and porousness of this space, as “an immanent part of the city, the body and our desires.”

Wenbo Gong

En me mettant en scène dans beaucoup de mes travaux, je prends à témoin les situations que je vis, et je les rejoue sous la lumière des projecteurs. Pour traduire l’angoisse ressentie au quotidien, je suis l’acteur de scènes devenues muettes.
