    Movestream 02 Bending Cinema

     

    Jeannette Ginslov interviews Islandic cartoon artist Ingi Jensson & German choreographer Heike Salzer, 11 June 2010 at the Dansehallerne Copenhagen Denmark, about their dance video installation work that resides on several sites and cities, in a variety of formats and also on an internet platform.

     

    
    Is this a work that bends cinema? If it is, how?
    What traditional modes of presentation is the work challenging? Do all these formats, platforms and sites, break and challenge the viewers perception of dance video? What parameters did you change in order for these works to exist on different viewing platforms? What kind of viewing experience does the viewer have and expect or are these expectations challenged?

• Introducing: GLASGOW DIALECTOG Introducing: GLASGOW DIALECTOGRAMS

  • From: MitchMiller
  • Description:

    Even if the 'form' was already well known, previously discovered, carved from 'commonplaces' before the interior poetic light was turned upon it, it was a mere object for the mind. But the soul comes and inaugurates the form, dwells in it, takes pleasure in it...

    From The Poetics of Space
    

    If you want to impress someone with an idea (and deflect any difficult questions) there is no better idea than to agglutinate and make up a word. Exhibit A: the Dialectogram!

    Glasgow Dialectograms explore the use of illustration as record, but also the belief that we all have an 'interior poetic light', a capacity we all have to create poetic images from the world around us - to infuse an object with meaning, importance and significance.  Superficially a pastiche of scientific, anthropological and architectural illustrations, Glasgow Dialectograms depict the public, private, personal and unexpected parts of the city by creating an extremely detailed schematic style drawings. These include both subjective and objective information into a single piece. They show facts, thoughts and feelings. They use a deliberately loose and organic ‘anti-architectural’ drawing style to describe not just what it is there, but who uses it, what a particular space means to someone, and how relationships between people shape their environment. The term ‘Psycho-Geography’ applies, but put simply, they are made by talking to people, sharing ideas and processing them into visual forms – a diagram, a dialogue, a dialectic, but also a dialect of technical drawing – hence, Dialectogram...

    Enh - It's probably best if I just show you and quit with all the theorising. This is a preliminary drawing for a dialectogram of an office in the Red Road Flats in Glasgow that should give a feel of what I'm trying to do.

    

    Over the next few weeks and months I will be documenting the progress of the project as I attempt to draw three 'damned' urban spaces in Glasgow:

    Glasgow’s Showland: My home turf. This will pick up where my first drawing (featured in How'S the Ghost? at Market Gallery and in An Tobar in March 2010) left off. Check the thumbnail out to take a look -

    

    There are around 54 such places in the Dalmarnock, Bridgeton, Carntyne and Shettleston areas of the city. I will draw another two yards and redraw Backcauseway to depict changes over periods of time (as caravans move on and off, according to the needs of work, or changing family relationships) and use the medium to shed light on a hidden, and at times much misunderstood community. As I belong to it, this will also be the aspect of the project where I am most subjective, and will struggle to ‘universalise’ certain experiences and feelings about these places.

    Red Road: I have already been invited by the Red Road project (subject to securing appropriate funding) to visit the scheme and meet with its workers and tenants. They would like me to produce 4 drawings of individual flats, floors and offices in the block using the basic technique piloted before. As this deals with a municipal space, one bounded by much more rigid architecture, this will require an adaptation of the basic approach first used in drawing the yards.

    The Barras: I have long been a fan of the legendary market and would like to produce 4 drawings showing floor plans of the markets and highly detailed compositions of individual stalls, with the full cooperation of the market traders.

    I have a wordpress blog but will keep posting to Central Station, for those who might be interested!

• Euro - Vision? Euro - Vision?

  • From: AmyLB
  • Description:

    It's hard enough to concentrate; to make the work, find a venue and rally a crowd, right? It's tricky enough to haul your peers away from their beers and into a gallery, theatre, cinema or co-op, right? Let alone engage with a European audience..

    But what about the artistic scenes simmering simultaneously across Europe? When we look further afield we see a plethora of parallels to our own close-knit creative community. Besides the whole 'single land mass' thing Mainland Europe's got going on they've sure got sure got a knack for drawing in the crowds.

    Now, thanks to the internet's international scope and budget air travel (cue enraged eco warriors)  Glaswegians  enetertain our continental cousins more and more regularly. Hailed for their hospitality Glaswegians thrive on the social aspects newcomers present. Never let it be said that the Glasgow's creative undercurrent is insular. Reciprocal projects are perpetually underway between, say, a Glaswegian film-maker and a Dutch writer, a French performance artist and a Glaswegian musician.

    Taken to its logical conclusion then, this Euro-wide mentality requires a base, a focus, an international profile and a programme of events to get people together. Potential collaborators can catch up, converse about key social and political issues and cook up ideas for future creative endeavours.

    Pooling practitioners from various countries, backgrounds, disciplines and philosophies the IETM Autumn Plenary taking place across Glasgow 4-7 November presents opportunities to forge ties, view high calibre contemporary performance art in a ream of citywide venues, listen to live music and drink whiskey into the early hours. Make sure your voice is heard in amongst the crowd.

     

     

    IETM Glasgow is a city-wide international performance arts convention and artistic showcase and is one of the most strategically significant cultural events in Scotland's 2010 calendar.  It will be an excellent forum for networking, education and exchange, with up to 600 performance arts practitioners from 45 countries attending.  In addition, the IETM Glasgow artistic programme is open to the public and will feature over 70 performances by many of Scotland's top performance companies and directors in a range of venues across Glasgow. 
      
    The theme for IETM Glasgow is 'Voices' and the programme will address topical issues - strategic, political and operational - that impact on the day-to-day work of arts practitioners all over Europe.  
      
    IETM is Europe's largest network of its type (see www.ietm.org) and its plenaries are attended by contemporary arts practitioners (performers, directors, administrative staff) working across a range of genres (theatre, dance, music-theatre, installation, film and video and new writing), as well as representatives of venues, funding bodies, policy makers and institutions.  The talks programme will be delivered by leading industry experts, practitioners and academics and social events planned include the welcome reception, late night meeting point, final night party and final day brunch.  The Scottish public are invited to join visiting international delegates for the 4 day artistic showcase.
      
    IETM Glasgow is sponsored by anCnoc Highland Single Malt - www.ancnoc.com.

    17 September · 18:30 - 22:00

    Edindocs at Church Hill Theatre

    Edinburgh

    EH10 4DR

     

    http://www.edindocs.com/
     

     

    The Ghostvillage Project was created over 3 days on the west coast of Scotland. 6 artists - Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126 and Derm - were given free reign to paint in an abandoned 1970s village.
    
    Working together on huge collaborative walls and individually in hidden nooks and crannies all over the site the artists realised long held dreams and were inspired by the bleakness and remoteness of the site.
    
    Drawing on the history of the village the artists' stated intent on completion of the project was to populate the ghostvillage with the art and characters that it deserved.
