Nomadica - Weekend with the Dead

By Anonymous on Fri, 19/10/2018 - 09:49

NOMADICA presents: WEEKEND WITH THE DEAD

A weekend-long, non-stop marathon on the occasion of the “Day of the Dead”; meetings and clashes, screenings and reactions, sounds and visions: dozens of international films’ and Italian premieres, a distillation of the most interesting contemporary experimentations. Also: seminars, focuses, Space itineraries – in various shapes and formats, from night 'till day and from day 'till night. Spazio Menomale, dug towards the centre of the earth, turns into an art gallery and a perpetual theater where you can sink, a perception room in which there is no time to find, filled with routes and crossroads that become – as always in Nomadica’s experience – the artwork itself, unique, displaced and displacing, irregular and not (always) screened-off. Underground chaos where “the everlasting shape of life” resides.

Dates:
Thursday, November 1, 2018 - 00:00 to Sunday, November 4, 2018 - 22:55
Venue:
Spazio Menomale - Bologna, Italy
A Roll For Peter in Vancouver

By Anonymous on Thu, 20/04/2017 - 04:38

Iris Film Collective, in collaboration with Dance Troupe Practice is pleased to present “A Roll For Peter”, the touring program of films made in tribute to the late great filmmaker Peter Hutton.

The films come to Vancouver in serendipitous confluence with two screenings as part of the DIM series at The Pacific Cinematheque of Hutton’s work (the second takes place on April 26).

Hutton, an American artist and educator, developed a unique perspective on both urban and remote landscapes through his images from the early 1970’s until his death in 2016.
Dates:
Saturday, April 29, 2017 - 20:00 to Sunday, April 30, 2017 - 19:55

MuMaBoX #55: Brave New World

By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 19/04/2017 - 10:19

Although the films that make up this program show real worlds, they could be seen as many chapters of a dystopian fiction, visions of a planet in perdition: phantasmic, invasive, post-apocalyptic nature (Wayward Fronds); sacked nature (Le Pays dévasté); exiled humans, forced to seek refuge in areas of radio silence (Quiet Zone); a desolate landscape, the sinister and worrying ruins of an old radar station (Cobra Mist).
Dates:
Wednesday, April 26, 2017 - 18:00 to Thursday, April 27, 2017 - 17:55
Venue:
Musée d'art moderne André Malraux - Le Havre, France

Were the Eye Not Sunlike

By ACRE TV on Thu, 02/04/2015 - 15:24

Were the Eye Not SunlikeCurated by Third Object - an exhibition in two partsDigitally: ACRE TV, acretv.org (April 1 - May 31)Physically: Fernwey Gallery (April 3 - April 26)Opening Reception: Fernwey Gallery, April 3, 2015, 6-9pm

Inspired by the long dark winters of Chicago, this exhibition focuses on the Sun at a time when it is missed the most, moments before springtime. As an object that is both illuminating and unseeable, the experience of the Sun is dominated by metaphor and myth. Were the Eye Not Sunlike channels the mythologization of the Sun and our relationship to its immeasurable power.

Beginning on April 1, a three-part video program will unfold on the artist-made live streaming platform ACRE TV. The program begins with Sunrise and its thematic associations of stillness, repetition, ritual, crispness and intimacy. Reflecting the course of the earth-bound day, the following program, High Noon, tracks the warmth and optical energy of a bright, full sky. Sunset, the final chapter, evokes impending darkness, melancholy, loss and reflection. The ACRE TV program includes work by sixty-two artists from around the world and will run for two months.

Dates:
Wednesday, April 1, 2015 (All day) to Sunday, May 31, 2015 (All day)
Venue:
Fernwey Gallery - Chicago, United States
