[Nettime-ro] STRADA LENIN, ORAŞUL STALIN | Călin Dan @ ALERT studio (White Code). |
*(english version bellow*) ALERT studio (White Code). Călin Dan. Eveniment: Vineri 12 Octombrie, ora 19.00. *STRADA LENIN** ORAŞUL STALIN* Un eveniment menit să contextualizeze istoric cel mai recent video al lui Călin Dan - "Natură moartă", sec. 20, construind totodată un spaţiu de vizionare diferit de cutia neagră / albă a sălii de cinema sau a galeriei de artă. Publicul va putea să testeze versiunea imbunătăţită a unui meniu de închisoare şi să parcurgă o selecţie din dosarul bunicii artistului, deţinută politic în România la mijlocul secolului trecut. În "Natură moartă", sec. 20, amintirile unei femei arestate şi condamnate politic în 1948 se intersectează cu amintirile unui băieţel care aşează masa pentru prânz în casa bunicii, în 1965. Prin reconstrucţia aparenţelor banale ale vieţii sub comunism, filmul face referinţe la multiple straturi ale istoriei secolului 20, cu încărcătura sa de confuzie ideologică, vinovăţie, opresiune şi memorie alterată de traumă. Oraşul Stalin = Braşov (08.09.1950 - 24.12.1960) ************************************************************************* * * ALERT studio (White Code). Călin Dan. Opening: Friday 12th of October, 7.00 PM. *LENIN STREET STALIN CITY* An event meant to contextualize historically Călin Dan's most recent video - "Still life", 20th c. (NL/RO, 2012), while creating a screening environment alternative to the usual black box of the cinema / art gallery. The audience will be offered an improved version of the prison menu and a quick browsing through the secret service files instrumentalizing the case of the artist's grandmother, a former political convict from mid-20 century Romania. "Still life", 20th c. alternates the memories of a woman imprisoned by the Romanian communist regime in 1948 with the actions of a little boy preparing the table for lunch at his grand-mother's place in 1965. Apparently a description of how life unfolded in communist Eastern Europe, the video refers to multiple layers of 20 century history, and involves ideological confusion, guilt, memory, punishment, political oppression, trauma, all wrapped in the banality of a typical struggling working class existence. Stalin city = Braşov (08.09.1950 - 24.12.1960) ************************************************************************* ALERT studio functioneaza ca pop-up gallery. / *ALERT studio functions as a pop-up-gallery.* Vizitarea expozitiei se va face in perioada 12 Octombrie - 26 Octombrie prin programare e-mail. / *The exhibition is on view between 12th of October and **26th of October**.

Asumandu-si functia de spatiu laborator, Alert Studio propune o intalnire intre artisti, idei, directii si discursuri din zone conceptuale si spatii culturale diferite. Sunt importante si apreciate gandirea critica si interogatia ca metode de cercetare a contextului cultural-artistic contemporan. ALERT studio functioneaza ca o galerie de proiect, conectand trei directii de explorare artistica - PINK | RED | WHITE - intr-un singur spatiu. Insa aceste coordonate nu inseamna indexare, restrictie si etichetare. Ele se pot intersecta si nuanta, pot oricand dialoga si declansa dezbateri. ************************************************************************* ALERT studio is an independent project initiated by Raluca Demetrescu Alina Buga and Catalin Burcea in order to create a platform of research and promotion of contemporary artistic production. Taking on the function of alaboratory space, Studio Alert proposes a meeting between artists, ideas, directions and speeches from different areas of conceptual and cultural spaces. Critical thinking and interrogation are important and valued as research methods in the contemporary cultural and artistic field. ALERT studio stands as a gallery project, connecting three areas of artistic exploration - PINK | RED | WHITE - into one space. But these coordinates do not mean indexing, labeling and restriction. They may intersect, combine in new shades, and may always communicate and trigger debates. www.alertstudio.org -- *ALERT studio* 2-4 Mircea Vulcanescu Street code 010281 | **Bucharest, Romania www.alertstudio.org _______________________________________________ Nettime-ro mailing list Nettime-ro@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ro --> arhiva: http://amsterdam.nettime.org/
