Performances and screenings

Second Floor Galleries

Adam de la Cour performs his interpretation of Kurt Schwitters’ seminal text performance piece, Ursonate, with Neil Luck, alongside his own performance pieces reimagining Al Jolson (La Nosloj), and I-Paine, a violent reading of Thomas Paine’s Rights of Man featuring martial arts…

Adam also performs Live Adult Chat, his new work with Bruce McLean, created especially for The Voice and the Lens (see Exhibition for details of Drumstick, the film counterpart to this performance).

Amy Cunningham performs Oracle, created for The Voice and the Lens (see Exhibition for details).

Neil Luck & Fiona Bevan present a new collaborative work incorporating Luck’s trademark post-symbolist foley and Bevan’s penetrating feminist subtexts. Their interrogation of recorded media takes the form of juxtaposed scenes drawing influences from Grand Opera to Soap Opera.

“Spine-tingling. Fiona Bevan completely transported me” Alex James, Blur

“Soulful and eccentric” Guardian

Dante Rendle Traynor performs a new work, building on his highly theatrical alter egos, together with his film something for everyone.

Luke Deane presents a performance of luke and luke like to look and listen (see details of the film in the Exhibition).

Sepideh Saii – Behind The Scene (2010)

This film features footage from La Vie en Rose, the Hollywood portrait of Edith Piaf. A young woman is seen intently watching and listening to ‘Piaf’ being called from her dressing room to perform on stage. When ‘Piaf’ finally exits her dressing room, so does our heroine, masking Piaf both visually and in audio by singing her own estranged tune.

Stella Capes – Knights Move Thinking (2009)

Shot with a single take, Knights Move Thinking sets up a struggle between performer and voice to construct an image for camera. A voiceover recites fragments from theatre scene-settings, whilst a ‘stagehand’ builds an abstract composition challenging what’s being described. The fixed camera endeavours to capture the unfolding composition, which is constructed in almost complete darkness.

Ed Atkins Delivery To The Following Recipient Failed Permanently (2011)

“Depth, both physical and emotional, is phony here: the back of a head as the most opaque, resistant thing I can think of; smoke as an explication of a particularly morbid kind of speech, like barium quaffed before an x-ray to illuminate those darkened paths inside you; words that seem caring– but which are in fact exploitative tropes conveyed with a cool impunity to anyone who’ll listen. Music! – especially for you.”

Samuel Beckett – Not I (1972) 

Not I features a spot-lit mouth in an otherwise dark space, focusing on an actress’s mouth. The mouth utters at a ferocious pace a logorrhoea of fragmented, jumbled sentences which obliquely tells the story of a woman who appears to have suffered an unspecified traumatic experience. This performance, featuring Julianne Moore and directed by Neil Jordan, was made for the Beckett on Film project.

Anri Sala – Answer Me (2008)

Filmed in the abandoned dome of a Buckminster Fuller-designed surveillance station, the dome’s distinctive echo, triggered in the film by a man playing the drums in the large, empty space, drowns out all of the dialogue spoken by the female character, with the exception of the words that give the film its title.

Simon Lewandowski demonstrates and performs with his automatic voice machines.

ARTPROJX Screenings 

www.artprojx.com

Events Room, 7-9.30pm

Artprojx programmes a night of artists’ films and videos.

Featuring artists: David Blandy, Mel Brimfield, Kota Ezawa, Dara Friedman, Rashaad Newsome, Martha Rosler, Terry Smith

Director David Gryn writes:

‘Sound marshals my seeing and music dictates much of my moving image tastes. Quoting Bill Viola: “ .. sound … goes around corners, through walls, is sensed simultaneously 360 degrees around the observer and even penetrates the body …” All the artists that I have selected have taken the voice and made me want to watch their films and videos over and over again.’

ARTPROJX is a leading brand that screens, curates and promotes artists’ moving image and other art projects, working with leading international contemporary art galleries, art fairs, institutes and artists. Forthcoming project Art Video at Art Basel Miami Beach 2012

David Blandy – White and Black Minstrel Show (2007), From The Underground (2001), I Am (2003-04), Sons of Slaves (2006), and Secrets and Lies (2002)

Blandy’s work deals with his problematic relationship with popular culture, highlighting the slippage and tension between fantasy and reality in everyday life. Either as a white man mouthing the words to the underground soul classic “Is it because I’m black” in White and Black Minstrel Show (2007), or discovering his father courtesy of Star Wars in I Am (2003), Blandy is searching for his cultural position in the world.

Rashaad Newsome – Shade Compositions (2009)

Newsome’s Shade Compositions takes up the body language and voice of certain women of colour — wondering how a seemingly sassy street expression extends across the globe as an open vernacular.

Mel Brimfield – He Hit Me…And It Felt Like A Kiss (2011)

Singer Gwyneth Herbert performs a reworked version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Memories as a half-carved sculpture emerging from a block of marble, but wistfully regretting her abandonment by the sculptor having been relegated to storage when he became interested in abstraction.

Kota Ezawa – Beatles Über California (2010)

Ezawa’s mash up blends an animation of The Beatles’ 1964 performance on The Ed Sullivan Show with the Dead Kennedy’s ‘California Über Alles’.

Dara Friedman – Musical (2007/08)

For three weeks Friedman invited ordinary New Yorkers to burst into song on street corners, in coffee shops, museums and train stations. Friedman’s film collates those discrete happenings, creating a sprawling American musical that is by turns uproariously funny and devastatingly sad.

Martha Rosler – If it’s too bad to be true it could be disinformation(1985)

Rosler’s video uses a partially demagnetised videotape to engage problems of reading popular news media. This video presents news coverage of US conflicts in Latin America during the early 80s, which various media techniques for vilification, obscuring fact with allegation, propagating an illusion of truth.

Terry Smith – Unsung (2012)

Unsung is an homage to Robert Rauschenberg and Merce Cunningham, inspired by their performance at Dartington in 1964. It features vocalist Linda Hirst, who has worked with Cage, Berio, the Michael Nyman Band, Royal Opera House and many more.

Artist Film and Video Barcelona Loop (Notes from Terry Smith)

Artist throughout history have been at the forefront of technology. In the sixties taking full use of 16 mm and then when 8mm film was introduced for the domestic market capitalized on the opportunity.

The availability of the new technology, allowed artist and filmmakers to explore the medium. From the structuralist works with filmmakers like Stan Brakhage and Michael Snow who explored the media as experimental film to those exploring the more theatrical aspects like Stuart Sherman and Derek Jarman, to artists like Bruce Nauman, Chris Burden, Richard Serra and Joan Jonas who turned from performance to moving image.

Today artists are taking on cinema, with artists like Steve McQueen and Douglas Gordon, moving into the world of feature films. Art has always been involved with popular culture, but there has often been an uneasy relationship between the different strands of the use of moving image; feature films, experimental film and artists film and video works.

There is a long history of artists use of film and video, but it’s a history not often taught in art school. This collection of artists demonstrates some of the different strands in current artists practice in the medium of film and video.

-

This selection is in two parts the first by the artist Terry Smith of workinprogress and the second by David Gryn the director of Artprojx. What is fascinating about this collection of works is in the different areas that each selector chosen to emphasize. Smith is looking at the sculptural and performative works, while Gryn is concerned more with the theatrical and filmic tendencies in contemporary video. This is of course just a small selection of the wide range of works that occupy the same ground.

Performance artists have from the beginning embraced the medium of film and video. It is a way for performers to distribute their work to a wider audience and into different contexts. So the medium is used by a mixed group, from artists, filmmakers and performance artists all emphasizing different aspects. This collection present some of the range of work that can be seen today.

PART ONE (Notes from Terry Smith)

David Austen is primarily a painter, but it’s probably more accurate to say he is a picture maker. The transition from prints and photography to film and video as been seamless. In this work Man Smoking, Austen keeps the 16mm camera fixed on subject, the Italian artist Enzo Cucchi. The subject nervously shifts his balance aware, self-conscious of the act of being looked at.

Matt Calderwood takes performance to its extreme, coming out as much from the earlier videos of Chris Burden and Bruce Nauman as well as British Artists Harrison and Wood, vaudiville, the comic situations and extraordinary play to camera has seen Calderwood pursue a body of work that captures the set piece ‘act’ that aspires as much to sculpture as early silent comedy

Marianela Orozco, is a Cuban artists who continues to live in Havana. Her work oscillates between performance and photography and film. The work here Sal is a block of salt that is worn away by the sea. Her works often deals with a single locked off shot. Her work explores the incidents of real life, finding poetry in the everyday.

Nigel Slight comes in a sense form the old school. Contemporary with Stuart Brisley Brian Catling and Alastair MacLennan, Slight presents performances that can best be described as hard core. Dealing with all kinds of subjects, controversial and taboo. His live performances have elements of humour and threat that categories his work.

Gary Stevens made his first videos in the mid seventies. A graduate of Goldsmiths College, he moved quickly from text works to performances. He has shown internationally for many years, and continues to be one of the most innovative performance artists in the UK. He has recently returned to video with a series of video works that explore the possibilities technology.

Terry Smith I have included my own work here because it demonstrates and pays homage to Bruce Nauman and artists who influence is immense. This was a work developed as a project in a London art school.

Carl Von Weiler is as artist who works with video and performance. Just like in painting the self portrait is a device for the artist to use their own face or body to create simple works. The act of representing the self as the self has a long history in art.

Roi Vaara  has been traveling the world from his native Norway, creating performance at the Venice Biennial to the Hayward Gallery in London. Primarily a performer he has translated his work, like many performers the use of video to enhance and compliment the performance work.

Part two – notes (well almost notes) by David Gryn

boyleANDshaw, David Blandy, Marie Losier and Jessica Voorsanger

The choice of these artists is a combination based on the quality of their work, their risk taking, their sense of fun and their warm collaborative nature. I traditionally do not say much about artists’ work – as I like art to speak for itself or let the artists speak for themselves – however I was compelled to write even this much as Terry Smith has been so diligent above. Terry is an arch collaborator and has been a great support on this project and many others. I regard performance and video as strange labels – nothing more than names of media that artists use to make their work. In this case the artists I have selected make work through various processes (performance, installations, video/film etc) and film is a way of capturing their work.

-

boyleANDshaw are growing from strength to strength, with a major performance project with Artprojx at the ICA last year and then for the ICA’s annual fundraiser this year, working with curator David Thorp on those projects and at Calvert 22 and beyond. Jessica Lack captures their essence in the Guardian: “The irascible boyleANDshaw scrape the very edge of artistic decency. Holed up in a cafe on Vauxhall Bridge Road they pen lurid sketches of the art world. Certainly not for the faint hearted, boyleANDshaw’s surreal visions suggest that there’s a hideous, self-loathing wretch lurking beneath every artist’s aloof, monosyllabic exterior. From comic drawings to bizarre happenings, boyleANDshaw push the boundaries of taste to its outer limits.”

David Blandy recent film and seventeen gallery exhibition Child of the Atom has been widely acclaimed. His work deals with his problematic relationship with popular culture, highlighting the slippage and tension between fantasy and reality in everyday life. The work in this compilation, Samurai Story, was part of an exhibition project collaboration with Artprojx and dub sound system legend Manasseh that featured at Artprojx Space, Whitechapel Gallery and Tate Britain.

Marie Losier has recently been introduced to Artprojx and her work is so full of brilliance, vitality, life and joie de vivre that it makes me smile. She is a film maker artist. Whimsical, poetic, dreamlike and unconventional, her films explore the life and work of other artists through an endless variety of cinematic means.

Jessica Voorsanger has a wonderful sense of mischief and amusement. She creates inter-active installations, objects, performances and events that reference pop and celebrity culture. Her recent project with Peckham Space was screened in NY during the Armory Show collaboration at the SVA Theatre with Artprojx Cinema

Artprojx Cinema in New York 2011 – report

Artprojx Cinema at The SVA Theatre, NY

The Artprojx Cinema at the SVA Theatre project was a great success. Many artists, students, collectors, curators and other gallerists attended the large number of screenings throughout the week. We had wonderful feedback about showing films within the context of the cinema. Sales and gallery introductions were reported back to us at the art fair, as well as offers to the artists for further screenings and exhibitions. We were very pleased with the visual and sound quality of the screenings, also with many attending artists, galleries and curators who had never seen their work in such an impressive cinematic environment.

Artprojx Cinema posters

The value and awareness of the screenings extends to the vast local and global audience who were made aware of the project and programme but who could not attend.

Artprojx Cinema - full house

We had many meetings throughout the week with other major International Art Fairs, who were all impressed by the quality and depth of the programme and the project in general. A general thread had been that the screening of artists’ film and video is complicated and that Artprojx Cinema provides one of the best solutions to many of the screening problems faced by galleries and the art fairs.

As a result Artprojx Cinema has been invited to work on many other similar projects with Art Fairs and Galleries worldwide.

PRESS RELEASE

1 February 2011

ARTPROJX CINEMA TO FEATURE OVER 90 ARTISTS’ FILMS & VIDEOS

IN NEW POP UP CINEMA VENTURE IN ASSOCIATION WITH

“We are delighted to collaborate with such an outstanding quality of artists, galleries and organizations from such a diverse scope”, says David Gryn, Director of Artprojx. “Artprojx Cinema is not only an important opportunity for participating galleries and arts organizations to screen their artist’s films within the focused context of the cinema but also for the collectors, dealers, curators, artists and film enthusiasts flocking to New York during the week of The Armory Show and VOLTA NY to see an exceptional program of artists’ film.”

Feedback from participating organizations, artists and galleries indicates that Artprojx Cinema is adding a much desired kudos and credibility to screenings of artists’ films and a new and valued initiative on the NY cultural landscape. “We are passionate about creating a new buzz around the art fairs, engaging with local artists and students and enabling them to be part of the excitement in the city. The cinema is free to everyone and we want as many people to see this fantastic program,” says David Gryn.

This new venture has already proved a huge success with galleries participating from 14 cities – New York (Allan Stone Gallery, Andrew Edlin Gallery, Charles Bank Gallery, Fredericks & Freiser Gallery, LTMH Gallery, Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery, Number 35 Gallery, Peter Blum Gallery), Philadelphia (Fleisher/Ollman), Los Angeles (Susanne Vielmetter), Chicago (Rhona Hoffman Gallery), Oakland (Johannson Projects), London (Pilar Corrias, Nettie Horn, The Cynthia Corbett Gallery), Dublin (Kevin Kavanagh Gallery), Lisbon (Filomena Soares Gallery), Copenhagen (Galleri Christina Wilson, V1 Gallery), Lima (Galeria Lucia de la Puente), Helsinki (Galerie Forsblom), Vienna (Galerie Krinzinger), Berlin (Galerie Carlier-Gebauer) and Geneva (Gowen Contemporary).

Artprojx Cinema will be screening premieres of Matthew Day Jackson’s “In Search Of” presented by Peter Blum Gallery, New York and a documentary, “New York Influence City” produced by You Know Limited, London, which reflects on New York City by key figures of its prominent art scene.

Over 4 days there were so many great moments, pieces and a general vibrant, creative intensity at the ICA.

Shija Azari"s Windows screened by Artprojx

As a young artist it was a place of discovery, aspiration, idea nurturing and artistcally forming and it really feels like that it is possible again.

Street fighter battles in David Blandy's day

The works and projects each day worked on so many levels beautiful, aesthetic, rough around the edges, challenging, musical, poetic, engaging, audience enchanting, scary, awkward and much more.

Tai Shani's rehearsals

Over the 4 days the ICA proved it can be a creative hub, exhibiting ground-breaking, experimental, risk and chance taking art – enabling and nurturing the artists to do so.

Tai Shani's performance

All the artists put their vision on the line – creating wonderful aesthetic, aspirational and challenging feasts and treats for all the large numbers of visitors.

TAI SHANI – 7 May

‘Screentest: R-R-Rhine Peacetime 82′

Performance: 7:30pm & 9:15pm Main Gallery (30mins)

On a sound stage, an actress is being filmed auditioning for a role in a fictitious film based on a strange, actual sequence of events that took place in West Germany in the hot summer of 1982. Over the course of 25 days in three unrelated, tragic incidents members of the US and UK peacetime army stole tanks and rampaged through various German towns and countryside leaving behind a trail of destruction, ultimately driving themselves over bridges and into trains to their deaths. The actress Maya Lubinsky is auditioning for the role of Katja Riemann, a young woman who gets run over by a tank driven by Private Charles S. Keefer, her boyfriend.

In this expanding screentest which occurs on a fractured timeline, the lives and fictions of Katja Riemann, Maya Lubinsky and Maya’s body double overflow and hemorrhage into each other creating a spiraling narrative told through film, heroines, anti-heroines, animated props, an overbearing narrator and a Neanderthal from a parallel universe. The performance is accompanied by a live score by David J. Smith (Guapo, Stargazers Assistant and Amal Gamal Ensemble)

ICA Theatre Film and Video Screenings selected by Tai Shani

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=112310498804462&ref=ts

TERRY SMITH – 9 May

The Foundling: DRUNK AND DISORDERLY

The final part in a quartet of performances. The last chapter of the Foundling project Drunk and Disorderly will be workshopped as part of an open rehearsal and performed at the ICA. This forms the last of four distinct parts, which includes Lost and Found (performed at the Tete a Tete Opera festival in London 2008), Hide and Seek, (performed at the The Foundling Museum 2009) and Sticks and Stones (performed at St George’s Church in Venice 2009). The video works include texts by the writer Mel Gooding spoken by the actor Julian Bird. This performance includes Linda Hirst, Miguel Tantos, Oliver Coates and Danny Standing.

PROPOSITIONS

Propositions is a project selected by Terry Smith that brings together a diverse body of work by nine current and past students from Wimbledon College of Art. Chris Agnew, Jenny Baldock, Fiona Long, Russell Moore, Lauren O’Day, Helen Newhouse, Charlotte Turton, Nicholas Quenzer, Sam Wilkins

AURA SATZ – 9 May

TURNTABLE TABLEAU, a film performance.

Aura Satz performs a talking book ventriloquist act, followed by a live soundtrack to her film on gramophone grooves. The hypnotic footage of spinning sound patterns is accompanied by a spiralling multivocal counterpart, a cornocupia of voices recounting a tale of mourning and technology, a forensic love-story of sorts in which the voices overlap, echo and pre-empt each other. The cinematic stage is animated by a voice-over carousel, a spinning tableau vivant, a canon of voices amplified by horns set on a rotating stage.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=118623424831585

BRIAN CATLING – 9 May

Mr Rapehead- a new live performance

Mr Rapehead is new 30 minute work made for the ICA extends his obsessive manipulation of the mysterious and enigmatic atmospheres by interrogating them with threats of violence and humour.
