The Miami and Moscow Film Selections – Artist Sound of Film – 12 Sept at Bermondsey Project

Takeshi Murata – OM Rider 2013 courtesy the artist, Salon 94 and Ratio 3

 

Artprojx presents
The Miami and Moscow Film Selections
Artist Sound of Film
curated by David Gryn

with a Miami Moscow Mix playlist by Max Reinhardt

 

Friday 12 September 8.30pm

Bermondsey Project, 46 Willow Walk, London. SE1 5SF

 

The films selected are highlights of works that were originally selected and curated by David Gryn for the Film programme at Art Basel in Miami Beach over the last 4 years. The films were all played on the New World Symphony Center’s screening wall in Soundscape Park during the annual art fair. This selection was played outdoors in Moscow as part of the Museum Nights in May 2014 along with DJ Max Reinhardt.

These works all engage with music, rhythm and sound and remain resonant from their initial playing. They all have a power that is far beyond just the work, one that creates lingering memory with the viewer long after the work has been seen and finished. The selection of these was driven by their sound, engagement and that the language needed to digest these works is that of audio-visual. These works reflect on the current trends and modes of communication such as YouTube, TV, animation, gaming, social media and used to create new images, sounds and unexpected connections.

Director of Artprojx David Gryn on Art Video at ABMB

Director of Artprojx, David Gryn on Art Video at ABMB

interview in Whitewall Magazine

David Gryn, director of Artprojx, selected five videos from tonight’s opening of Art Video at Art Basel Miami Beach. Below, he tells us what he selected, the personal impact of the work, and why it’s never easy to choose favorites:

Being asked to select five out of the 60 or more films and videos that we selected for Art Video, the Art Basel Miami Beach project where we screen on the vast wall of the New World Center at SoundScape Park, and in 5 pods inside the fair, is a tall order as there are so many of the works that I could choose. My selections were shaped by the notion of “poetics,” which gave me a focus and a rhythm on my decision-making. I also created titles for each screening program that reflected my choices such as “Love, Time & Decorum.”

It is the sound and music of the art works that formed and led my thought processes and these five works I have selected all had a very powerful audio resonance with me.

A selection of five works in no particular order:

1. Sirens of Chrome – Jesper Just
There is sound, music, and poetics in Jesper’s work that touches me within moments of seeing any of his works and lingers in my mind long after any screening or viewing. “Sirens of Chrome” felt perfect for the situation of where it will be screened on the huge 7,000 sq ft wall of the New World Center – with the Miami traffic running alongside and an audience comprised of a wide slice of the Miami community. I am also interviewing Jesper in the fair’s  Art Salon program, in a talk I entitled “The Poetics of Enchantment,” based on the effect his work has on me.

2. Repeat after reading – Mauricio Lupini
In my selecting, these Lupini films became the introductory sound of these programs, a kind of art fair soundtrack, as they spell out in flashes of black and white text and play bursts of Latin American music, which is so much part of the multi-cultural human landscape in Miami. They instantly make a laid-back happy mood, as well as a call to audience observation and participation.

3. Anti-Mercator – William Kentridge
William Kentridge is a modern alchemist, creating magical and mesmerising works from seemingly base materials that engage audiences on so many levels. I can always view his work over and over again; he is a brilliant and true artist. He also collaborates perfectly with the composer Philip Miller, whose music infuses the works with an added dynamism and sublime.

4. Blessed Blessed Oblivion – Jumana Manna
Jumana was a real discovery for me in this project. Her work immediately touched and engaged me on so many levels, its use of language and poetry, from the delightfully crude to the profound, the technical quality of the filming and subject focus. The Arab music is a joy and there is much humor. However, the message is a striking and very human observation of a deep-rooted misogyny.

5. Counting In – Tim Davis
This film and other works by Tim, create in me the tense anticipation of what is about to happen that never does. Here we have band after band about to start a piece of music and it never starts, yet that is the real joy we have in much that we do, see, and experience – that of anticipation, regardless of it being fulfilled or not. The program he is in ultimately has much fulfillment in other glorious artists’ works that feature the music of Sigur Ros and Antony and the Johnsons.

David Gryn is the founder and Director of Artprojx, which screens, curates and promotes artists’ moving image projects usually in the context of the cinema, working with leading international contemporary art galleries, art fairs, institutes, and artists. Artprojx also creates fundraising, development, audience, marketing strategies, projects and special events for arts organisations, artists and charities.
