Hein and Viola Yip (Berlin, New York, Hong Kong) |
Wednesday 16 |
|
Transsonic (Hein and Yip) is an
experimental transmedial duo that creates immersive
site-specific performances and installations bridging the
vibrations of light and sound, trained as musicians, both look
into the ontology of sound and how musical experience can be
transformed beyond its common material—sound, for their artistic
research project Transsonic, they explore light as an expanded
musical material, they research and create performances,
improvising between lights and sounds as equally important but
dialectical musical materials, for this concert, the duo is
creating a new piece for lights and electronics that incorporate
our bodies as part of the circuit nicolahein.com violayip.com/ |

Kit Fitzgerald (New York) A Video Event |
Monday 21 |
|
Video is my instrument and my
orchestra; my images are literal, poetic, performative,
expressive, the work is grounded in the tactile, my approach is
along the lines of wabi-sabi, influenced by European painting
and by my experience with Asian approaches - from early
collaborations with Nam June Paik, residencies in Korea and
Tokyo, and yoga; I like to create beauty in a chaotic world;
beauty is truth, but sometimes the truth is

Davidson
Gigliotti (New York and Venice) A Video Event |
Tuesday 22 |
|
In the late 70s, better cameras
and better cassette decks were making the move to television for
single channel video art a real possibility, I was taping a lot
of performance art in those days, I had a good studio, decent
equipment, and some idea of how to go about it and my friend
Jean Dupuy was at the heart of a distinctive style of New York
performance art; the artists he championed, Joe Lewis, Tim Maul,
Michael Smith, Julia Heyward, to name just a few, performed
regularly in the Grommet shows staged in his Broadway loft, it
was Jean’s wish that some of these performances should be
recorded, it was my idea to try to put them on TV |
