The Unstitute: visit new virtual worlds...

Howdy!

Following our terrific feminist takeover last month, (which can still be viewed here) we are proud to announce that a new screening room has been opened to showcase video works which have either evolved right here in the domestic quarters of The Unstitute, or submitted to us by undisclosed foreign operatives and nomads. This new development will permit the cross-pollination of imaginations across the wide variety, and yet simple consistency, of works we have gathered together for your edification.

To celebrate digging out this new opening, (and as an excuse to make new things,) The Projection Room has undergone extensive aesthetic reconstruction to complement this month's group of participants, selected to present their work to the Wide, Wide World.

THE_PROJECTION_ROOM:

Paul Remund
Hill of Crosses

screening from 15/02/15 to 15/03/15

Hill of Crosses is film that blindly guides you through a space between solitude and the feverish discovery of the self. Two wanderers imprisoned by their silence discover movement as a means of finding their voice.

It is a trans-Atlantic collaboration meeting at an in between place. This experimental film documents a journey through the Baltic's discovering abandoned and sacred places and delving into the freedom of loneliness. A series of performance rituals of the body in response to space are played out to a dreamlike and eerie sound score.

[dis]CORPORATE_BODIES:

Undermining the Institution
an Evolving [An]archive
_ongoing_growth_

The Unstitute brings place, presence, contiguity and movement into focus this month in our ongoing collaborative archive '[dis]Corporate Bodies'. These works bear trace suggestions of possibilities arising out of particular environments, where walls may both contain a person and exclude them at the same time, where spaces may be made discontiguous by cutting and then sutured together to make new spaces bound by a simple thread.

Featuring works by Thomas Kuijpers (NL), Mark Salvatus (PH), Lara Jacoski (TH), Dominik Ritszel (PL), Aaron Tan (UK) and Leonard Kuipers(NL).
You can further read about the artists by following the Collaborators link on the page.

NEW: THE_CUTTING_ROOM:

Blackmail
by The Unstitute
_temporary_/_superficial_

The Unstitute is proud to announce a new extension - The Cutting Room - where we'll be presenting a monthly programme of videos engineered by special devices kept somewhere in the poorly-known Department of Fictions at The Unstitute; a place where no-one ever goes. In conjunction with the submissions made via the Participation programme, we hope to guide your attention to more complex interactions within the [an]Archives created here at The Unstitute.

This month we are showing 'Blackmail' (2008)

"Blackmail is the second part of a collaborative project which documents an ongoing quest for attaining personal/existential freedom by exploring the idea of ‘inexchangeable inwardness’ through the example of the architectural uncanny. Examining how the concept of action within the constructed reality of the video can be manifested, the concept of ‘outside and inside’ is explored suggesting that inner reality can only be perceived by the subject and inferred by those perceiving it as only a possibility."
