More than bodies from Videplay2010 Argentina - on VisualcontainerTV


Dates:
Tue Mar 01, 2011 00:00 - Mon Apr 04, 2011

MORE THAN BODIES
Videoplay2010 ARGENTINA
Curator: Silvio De Gracia
1 March - 4 April 2011
Only on VisualcontainerTV
www.visualcontainer.tv
VisualcontainerTV is glad to present: MORE THAN BODIES, videoart selection from VIDEOPLAY
2010, Junin, Argentina.
MORE THAN BODIES includes video performances and other works which, though not clearly framed within the category of action art, reflect a deep anchorage in the performance sphere. It is an attempt to reveal the presence of the body that is trapped and mediatized by video technology or else, to highlight the no-presence of a body that has become virtual and electronic. It’s an exciting body discourse, but this time the body has ceased to be an object-means to become a mediatized object. “More than bodies” project refers to new bodies in a new intensely ghostly and dissolving presence. By Silvio de Gracia.
Videoartworks presented:
Suka Off (Poland) – Liquid Fear – 10’ 52”
Eva Drangsholt (Norway) – Icarus. A yearning to fly – 2’ 26”
Kim Youn Hoan (South Korea) – Block game – 3’ 20”
Guillermina Buzio (Argentina-Canada) – 85% – 2’ 47”

23 Les Instants Video - Marseille on VisualcontainerTV


Dates:
Wed Nov 03, 2010 00:00 - Wed Nov 03, 2010

ON AIR NOW: LES INSTANTS VIDEO 2010
Numeriques et Poetiques International Videoart Festival
23th Edition, Marseille - France
27 October - 30 November 2010


Only on VisualcontainerTV
http://www.visualcontainer.tv/


VisualcontainerTV is glad to host a selection from 23th Edition of Les Instants Video, Numeriques et Poetiques, International videoart festival, Marseille - France.
We're honoured to welcome one of the most famous French videoart festivals, which has nowadays reached its 23th edition!
The selection is presented on ExhibitContainer, a format that only shows International Videoart festivals and curatorial projects from all over the world.
The on-line exhibition will be nearly simultaneous with the Festival's opening in Marseille, to promote the best interaction between Italy and France on behalf of all videoart followers.

About 23th edition of Les Instants Video - Director of the Festival: Marc Mercier
The Instants Video is the world’s record holder for its length (4 months), as well as for its width (3 continents, 8 countries, 15 cities and 30 places). This double athletic record has no more importance that of eggthrowing or that of the longest travelling in the history of cinema (300m in Godard’s Weekend). It is there only to show our disinthralled passion for Dionysiac excessiveness.

Marseilles : our anchorage ground as well as our runway.
From 3rd September to 19th December, the Nomadic Instants Video,
with the help of partner-organisations, organise the festival stopovers.
The reason why the Instants Video have chosen to be at the same time here and elsewhere -Marseilles being our anchorage ground as well as our runway- is the urge to feel in our flesh that we're not isolated, that a cheerful and insubordinate constellation is being sketched in order to uphold the rallying cry of one of the smaller Resistance networks during World War II : To emancipate and federate our humanities. Here is an unreasonable network : Marseilles, Damascus, La Ciotat, Prague, Nice, Amsterdam, Alexandria, Aix-en- Provence, Oran, Martigues, Port-de-Bouc, [.BOX] Videoart Project Space Milan curated by Visualcontainer, Tlemcen, Kiev, Cairo, Florence.
