Weit und breit
Création sonore | 0 | | 16:21 | Allemagne | 2006
weit und breit (2006) Musique concrète pour saxophone alto, accordéon et harpe Cette pièce musicale provient exclusivement de "résidus" non utilisés de différentes musiques pour pièces radiophoniques. Dans les enregistrements pour les différentes productions, il y avait toujours des angles sonores extrêmes où le micro était par exemple adapté au corps d'un instrument, et dans lesquels des microphones de contact ou à tête artificielle pouvaient être utilisés, ou encore des Jacklin ou des microphones de tête originaux. Souvent, des expérimentations qui utilisaient abondamment des méthodes inhabituelles de création sonore ont été menées, sous la direction du compositeur. Ces produits sonores sont, en partie, presque uniquement du bruit, mais comme ils proviennent d'instruments de musique traditionnels, ils ont toujours en eux un "accord intérieur". Même dans des sons très percutants et très courts, ou dans un son presque blanc, il oscille toujours une sorte d'ambiance musicale qui permet, après l'avoir travaillée par ordinateur, d'obtenir une composition presque tonale. Il en résulte une sorte de "composition tonale de bruits". Les sons sont étudiés en 5 mouvements en partant d'une perspective purement musicale, et différentes possibilités de bruit-son harmonisé sont explorées, du son purement instrumental au bruit, en partant aussi des transitions et des transformations. Dans les espaces intermédiaires naissent toujours des petits fragments narratifs.
Thomas Gerwin Compositeur de formation classique et artiste dans le domaine du son. Il est venu très tôt à la musique électroacoustique et travaille en outre depuis 1990 de façon intensive dans le domaine de la composition d'"environnement sonore" et dans l'art radiophonique. Actuellement il compose principalement pour des concerts et des performances dans son studio à Berlin, et crée des installations sonores et vidéo. Il intègre toujours les nouveaux médias, le théâtre, la danse, le cinéma et la sculpture comme moyens d'expression dans son espace artistique. Il a reçu différents prix internationaux et bourses, ses oeuvres font l'objet d'expositions et de présentations dans le monde entier. Gerwin dirige le ?Berliner Lautsprecher-Orchester? et supervise la série de concerts ?KlangWelten? ainsi que les festivals ?klanglaborX? (Berlin) et ?KLAK!? (Kassel)

L'Arrêt
Doc. expérimental | hdv | noir et blanc | 15:26 | Irlande, France | 2012
L?arrêt est un documentaire expérimental sur le suspense et le (dés)équilibre, l?indécision et la chorégraphie de la peur. Tourné dans les Calanques à Marseille avec un groupe de jeunes adultes de La Bricarde, une cité d?habitat social des quartiers nords de la ville réputés sensibles, L?arrêt explore l?incertitude à laquelle nous sommes tous confrontés dans ce no-man?s-land que constitue la période entre l?enfance et l?âge adulte. L?arrêt montre cinq jeunes adultes s?élançant du haut de falaises vertigineuses dans la mer méditerranée vingt mètres en dessous d?eux. Mais le spectacle n?est pas le scénario ou le drame de la chute. Ce sont les moments avant qui sont célébrés : ce mélange de bravoure et de gêne, ce passage entre un regard dur et un sourire un peu trop décontracté, ces vagues de tension et de doute et le combat mené pour les dépasser qui unifie leurs corps en un étrange et beau langage de crainte partagé. Au centre social, le responsable du service jeunesse nous a dit : ?A la Bricarde, les jeunes ont du mal à se projeter?? mais ici au moins, lentement, difficilement mais joyeusement, ils le font.
gethan&myles are a creative partnership lving and working in Marseille since 2011. As an artistic double-act, collaboration is at the heart of everything they do: not only with each other, but also with the spaces in which they work and the people who occupy them. Giving a voice to communities who are misunderstood or ignored, and expressing the richness of their experience underpins many of gethan&myles? projects. Whether working in film, photography, text, sculpture or performance, ?the sublime? is of little interest to them - what inspires them is the real world and the human beings they share it with.

ANOTHER LAND
Vidéo | hdv | couleur et n&b | 3:0 | Inde | 2015
Another Land is an optical collage of memories, snatches of conversation, verses of a poem, creating a dreamlike journey. This work has been built around found materials like photographs, slides, camera footage, scribbles and drawings. The sum of this memorabilia is collected to evoke an intensely personal trancelike journey, which transports you through various vistas. I have interpreted the material to create almost a mythical space, an imaginary fable, where all that is recognizable assumes another quality altogether. This is my re-imagining of nostalgia and memory and what it means to individuals. Just as we augment and embellish memory with time; so too, this work takes fragments of remembrance and imparts another quality to them. So that, what is remembered changes and recreates new stories, new trajectories in a way that creates a fantasy - a mythopoeic fable.
Sukanya Ghosh is an artist, animation filmmaker and designer. She is an independent practitioner and enjoys working with popular imagery, poetry and the moving image. Born in Calcutta, she has a BFA in Painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University of Baroda and an AEPEP in Animation Film Design from the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. She has been the recipient of the Charles Wallace India Trust Award, the Sarai Independent Fellowship, commissions from the Royal Commonwealth Society and Motiroti, UK.

Military Blanket
Doc. expérimental | hdv | noir et blanc | 3:50 | Syrie, Allemagne | 2017
“Military Blanket” is going back to the memory of the day when my father died. It describes the bureaucracy of death, in a military hospital. Growing up is basically we slowly witness people we know dying around us. After my father died and the war started, I lost many people I know, but I chose to talk about the story of my father?s death, because death was still holy back then, death was capable of teaching me, death was the most incredible proof of life.

Diteggiatura
Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 16:55 | Italie | 2021
The "Carlo Colla & Figli Puppet Company" is one of the most ancient and famous puppet companies in the world. The Company's Atelier in Milan houses more than three thousand puppets. "Diteggiatura" recounts, in a reverse chronology, a year spent in the Atelier of the Colla Company, following the rituals of a community called upon to accompany the life of anthropomorphic objects. The film is based on a text, performed by actress and director Silvia Costa and written by an artificial neural network.

Animal
Doc. expérimental | mov | couleur | 20:0 | Italie, Suisse | 2023
"Animal" explores the concept of animation. Creating a parallel between the “uncanny valley” of the archaic tradition of puppetry and recent technological developments in robotics and artificial intelligence, the film is inspired by a series of conversations with scientists and researchers from the robotics labs at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL). Footage from the EPFL alternates with images from the ancient Carlo Colla & Figli Marionette Company in Milan. The structure of the film resembles both an inventory of images and an audiobook, combining the aseptic atmospheres of scientific laboratories with the archaic dimension of puppetry, weaving together these figures and punctuating them with black frames.

Ekphrasis
Doc. expérimental | mov | noir et blanc | 19:0 | Italie, Autriche | 2019
Le film s'inspire des événements survenus entre 1939 et 1943, lorsque les populations germanophones du Tyrol du Sud se sont vu donner le choix entre émigrer vers le pays voisin, l'Autriche nazie (et d'autres territoires du Troisième Reich), et rester dans l'Italie fasciste pour être intégrées de force dans la culture italienne dominante, perdant ainsi leur langue et leur patrimoine culturel. Ce système, appliqué à la suite d'un accord entre Mussolini et Hitler, a été appelé "Accord d'option". Le film évoque également les conséquences de l'accord d'option, notamment les épisodes de tension, de conflit, et de terrorisme entre les communautés ethniques. Comme dans une séance d'hypnose, une voix décrit une série de situations à la deuxième personne. Sans aucune référence à des dates, noms ou lieux, la voix décrit un ensemble d'images liées à des moments charnières de l’histoire conflictuelle du territoire du Tyrol du Sud. Exploration d'une série de photographies provenant de différentes archives, le film compose une étude visuelle de l'histoire et du paysage d'un territoire entre-deux.

Il corpo nero
Doc. expérimental | hdv | couleur | 5:37 | Italie, 0 | 2018
In physics, a "black body" is an idealized physical body that absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation, regardless of frequency or angle of incidence. An approximate depiction of a black body is a hole in the wall of a large cavity. Any light entering the hole is reflected indefinitely or absorbed inside and is unlikely to re-emerge, making the hole a nearly perfect absorber. The film has been edited as a palindrome, and it is composed of fragments from a conversation with particle physicist Alessio Del Dotto. The scientist outlines the concept of "black body" by narrating anecdotes about it: ultraviolet catastrophes, the first moments of the universe, Borges' Aleph and the double meaning of the Italian word "spettro".

Due (Two)
Doc. expérimental | 16mm | couleur | 16:55 | Italie, France | 2017
"Due" was shot in Milano 2, a residential neighbourhood located just outside Milano. Built as a utopian city between 1970 and 1979, Milano 2 was Silvio Berlusconi`s first ambitious project. It was in Milano 2 that TeleMilano, the first private Italian TV channel, started to broadcast, which made the area the bridgehead of the media and, later, political empire of Berlusconi. Milano 2, which nowadays may seem an ordinary suburban area, has functioned as a laboratory for a form-of-life which, in the decades of the Berlusconismo’s, spread nationally and left a long-lasting mark on Italian culture. The film includes an interview with Enrico Hoffer, the architect that designed the landscaping of the neighbourhood, as well as fragments from a 1974 publicity brochure advertising the real estate project.

Traum
Film expérimental | digital | couleur | 4:29 | Italie | 2021
Traum means dream in German, but in Italian and English it sounds like the word trauma. With the performance and accompanying sculptures that comprise TRAUM, it is Silvia Giambrone’s intention to remind us of the dream-like reality that trauma can instigate. The artist has written the stories of those who struggle with traumatic memories on the ceramic sculptural sheets of paper, documenting the role their experiences have played in forming different parts of their identities and realities. In the artist’s own words, “TRAUM addresses domestic violence from the perspective of a survivor who goes in and out of the trauma when telling their condition. Sometimes survivors (both children and adults) act like onlookers because violence (trauma) gave them a detached perspective in order to survive. Sometimes, they find themselves immersed in it with no exit strategy. And other times they even feel like they were the abusers even if it rationally makes no sense.” As a piece of performance art, TRAUM aims to articulate the often painfully inexpressible and isolating aspects of trauma. Giambrone offers a space where audience members become collective witnesses to a shared experience of catharsis. Through the sound of the ceramic sheets breaking, Giambrone creates an opportunity to share and heal collectively.
Silvia Giambrone (Agrigento, 1981), who both lives and works between Rome and London, works about both the physical and invisible evidence of the strong connection between violence and the ‘subjectification’ process. She won the 2019 VAF Award, the most important prize for young Italian artists. She was an ambassador for Kaunas European City of Culture 2022. Some of her exhibitions include: W Women in Italian Design, Triennale Design Museum, Milan (2016); Corpo a corpo, La Galleria Nazionale, Rome (2017); Terra mediterranea: in action, NiMAC, Nicosia, Cyprus (2017); Wall- eyes.

U Scantu: A Disorderly Tale
Vidéo expérimentale | 4k | couleur | 13:0 | Italie | 2022
“U Scantu”: A Disorderly Tale (2022), presented as a video installation at 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, reimagines the Sicilian, queer, multispecies myth of the "donne di fora" (“women from the outside and beside themselves”). Described as both magical and criminal, the "donne di fora" were said to possess both the feminine and masculine; the human and the animal; the benevolent and the vengeful. This film envisions the "donne di fora" as a gang of teenage “tuners” who ride through the utopian city of Gibellina Nuova (Sicily) on bikes customized with disruptive sound systems. The narrative voyage of the “tuners” is interspersed with poetic text and visual motifs from a 19th century collection of Sicilian fairy tales, Giardina Papa’s fragmented childhood memories of songs and stories told by her grandmother, and archival material from the Inquisition trials of the 16th and 17th centuries that criminalized women accused of being a "donne di fora". “U Scantu”: A Disorderly Tale repurposes the magical, ritualistic, and unruly as forces that generate an imagination beyond predetermined categories of humanness, chronological time, and mythological womanhood.
Elisa Giardina Papa’s research-based practice investigates the performance of gender, sexuality, and labor. Working across large scale video installations, drawings, sculptures, and theoretical texts, she documents how past and present forms of capitalism have extracted our capacities for labor and living—including sleep, intimacy, and emotion. With witty and poetic framing, her work calls attention to those parts of our lives, desires, and embodiments that remain radically unruly, untranslatable, and incomputable. Her work has been exhibited and screened at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia (The Milk of Dreams), the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA’s Modern Mondays), the Whitney Museum (Sunrise/Sunset Commission), Seoul Mediacity Biennale 2018, Flaherty NYC, UnionDocs, and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), among others. Giardina Papa received an MFA from RISD, and she is currently pursuing a PhD in film, media, and gender studies at the University of California Berkeley. She lives and works in New York and Sant’Ignazio, Sicily. Elisa Giardina Papa is also a founding member of the artist collective Radha May. Together with Bathsheba Okwenje and Nupur Mathur, they develop performances and art installations that reveal forgotten archives, hidden histories, and peripheral sites, exploring their relation to gender, and colonialism.

Cette vidéo étudie la relation complexe entre la langue et l'identité culturelle à l’époque contemporaine. Au lieu d’être considérées comme de simples outils de communication, les langues deviennent ici des virus capables de se contaminer mutuellement, façonnant de nouvelles identités et géographies. Le point de départ de la vidéo est la narration fragmentée d'une anecdote: un souvenir intime d'adolescent ayant appris l'anglais. Ce souvenir est filtré de manière ludique par des références à la culture visuelle dominante de la fin des années 80 et des années 90. Cette œuvre vidéo décrit le processus de formation de nouvelles formes de soi par l'utilisation du langage. Les mots, les souvenirs et les images fusionnent avec des paysages artificiels, créés et filmés dans un studio d'ingénierie marine, et s'enchaînent en séquences vagues mais cohérentes, qui semblent aussi naturelles et troublantes qu'un rêve.

The Sailor
Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 8:0 | Italie, Pays-Bas | 2017
A voice-over tells the story of a sailor that dreams of a homeland he has never had; day after day the sailor constructs his new native land shaping it to his imagination. Inspired by Fernado Pessoa`s static drama "The Mariner" the video deals with the notion of what each of us addresses as home and foreign and at the same time with issues related to language and its translation. Playing with the perception of who is watching, confusing it and mixing it, whilst images of landscapes trick the eyes of the viewer creating shadow play illusions, the female voice speaks Na`vi, an invented language artificially created upon commission for the movie Avatar. Like a second voice, the subtitles suggest a relation established among words, images and imagination.
Giovanni Giaretta (Padua 1983) currently lives and works in Amsterdam. After graduating in Design and Production of Visual Arts at the University IUAV of Venice, he took part in a number of residency programs including: Dena Foundation for Contemporary Art in Paris in 2010; and most recently De Ateliers in Amsterdam. Giaretta’s work has been featured in exhibitions in Italy and abroad at diverse institutions and galleries such as: La Criée (Rennes, FR); Tegenboschvanvreden, (Amsterdam, NL); Foundation Botin (Santander, SP); Musée Départemental d’Art Contemporain de Rochechouart, (Rochechouart, FR); Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, (Torino, IT); and Motive Gallery (Amsterdam, NL). His films have been shown at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam (Rotterdam, NL) and the T-Mobile New Horizons International Film Festival (Wroclaw, PL), among other festivals and screenings. His actual research is focusing on the relationship between perception and alteration during the night time. For the last year, to carry on such research Giaretta has been working as night porter in an hotel in Amsterdam. From 2015, he is also working as co-teacher at the Salzburg International Summer Academy.

Travel Stop
Film expérimental | 16mm | couleur | 19:0 | USA | 2017
Shot at the World’s Largest Truckstop in Walcott, Iowa, the film contemplates the interiors of a Midwestern highway rest stop, creating an essayistic portrait of a familiar site of travel and transience. With fixed attention toward the ideological overtones pressed to the surface in the objects for sale, Travel Stop examines how identity is called upon, regressed, emptied, overburdened, or parceled when traversing the non-places along the US interstate. “ That the world of things can open itself to reveal a secret life ” indeed to reveal a set of actions and hence a narrativity and history outside the given field of perceptionis a constant daydream that the miniature presents. This is the daydream of the microscope: the daydream of life inside life, of significance multiplied infinitely within significance.
Mike Gibisser is a filmmaker and artist interested in navigating the indefinite lines between essay, narrative, experimental, and documentary work, often drawing together disparate subjects or time periods. In the past 10 years, he has completed two narrative features (Finally, Lillian and Dan and World of Facts), a feature film essay (The Day of Two Noons), as well as several experimental and non-fiction shorts. He has presented work at numerous galleries and festivals around the world, including the International Oberhausen Film Festival, the Harvard Film Archive, Tony Wight Gallery, Block Cinema, the AFI Film Festival, the Images Film Festival, the European Media Arts Festival, threewalls gallery, and the New York Film Festival. His work has been featured in Artforum, Variety, and Cinemascope, amongst other publications. He currently teaches at the University of Iowa and runs the Headroom Screening Series dedicated to bringing filmmakers to local audiences to present challenging and experimental new work.

Fiction expérimentale | 16mm | noir et blanc | 5:33 | Espagne | 2011
Cette vidéo a été filmée à Talavera, une petite ville dans la région de «La Mancha» (Espagne). Tourné en 16mm et emprunter quelques plans sémantique et visuel de Chris Marker La Jetée (1962), le film atteint un point culminant en permanence, mais jamais d`une résolution, dans laquelle les endroits que je suis familier avec sont transformées en intemporel et irréel. Le film est conçu en tenant compte des codes visuels et linguistiques de 60 films de science fiction. Toutes les photos ont été prises en 2011 par des personnes réelles (amis, familiers, etc) et des lieux réels (tous à Talavera), sauf les cadres final de l`expérience de la NASA (en fonction de la confrontation même entre réalité et fiction). C`est le premier chapitre d`un film continu, sans fin. En fait, le deuxième chapitre est filmé à Coney Island (New York), avec les mêmes caractéristiques techniques (une Bolex 16 mm H16 REX-5 caméra et d`un vieux film des années soixante).

Three times a week she polishes the offices and exhibition space of TENT, Rotterdam Art Center. We gave Betty our video camera and we got instead her mop. The most physical jobs earn too little, we realized then, and that is why we tried to arrange a salary increase for Betty while confronting her boss.
From the moment we created the duo Gil & Moti, in 1998, we have explored the notion of individuality and questioned forms and norms of identity. Sharing is an ongoing experiment on a visual, mental and physical level, which includes: always dressing identically, never going apart, owning one wallet, one phone and one pair of keys. The denial of the boundaries between private and public, performance and social intervention is central in our work, which often starts small, close to ourselves and rooted in our personal life, but soon extends to a variety of important socio-political themes, such as discriminated minorities, racism, otherness and social and economical status. As artists, a gay couple, Jewish born (ex)Israelis and immigrants living in Europe, we contribute to the critical cultural discourse about human relationships, being different, and about sets of rules that are supposed to regulate social existence. Switching effortlessly between classical and contemporary artistic mediums of expression, we continuously challenge ourselves and our audience by introducing creative and refreshing perspectives. Gil & Moti are the winners of MK Award 2015. They have been showing internationally in museums and galleries. The recent major overview exhibition Totally Devoted to You, accompanied by an extensive monograph (publishing house: Hatje Cantz), was traveling through five important European art centers and museums: Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz, Austria (2012)/ Stavanger Kunstmuseum, Norway / Tensta Konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden / Kunstmuseum Bochum, Germany / Nikolaj Kunsthal, Copenhagen, Denemark (2011).

They offered their services free of charge to immigrants from Arab countries in Copenhagen and Rotterdam and documented their encounters in diary entries, photos and videos. Gil & Moti bridge the barriers of miscom-munication in an intelligent manner. At the same time, they raise themes from an artistic perspective that apply globally: themes such as sociability, integration and exclusion. On the border of the public and private domain and of the art institution and the street, they have created their project as a fascinating vision of an artistic and humanitarian practice in a changing world beset by conflict.
We Gil & Moti, are duo artists living and working together since 1994. Our work moves freely between life, the visual arts and performance. The decision to live life as a performance and to make art a way of living creates a tension, which motivates the work and is presented in the form of: installation, video, painting, writing and performance. With our work we engage in the appropriation of public space and its effect on human relationships. Our projects involve the rehabilitation of the network of associations in a given community. An analytic critique of the relationship of private life and public space constitutes an important facet of our practice. Jewish Israelis by birth, gay and immigrants in Holland we contribute with our work to the contemporary debates about being different and the rules of social coexistence. We express these concerns with vulnerable poetic narratives, suspended between reality and fantasy visualized in a range of images from mundane to highly theatrical.

Au cours d'une après-midi ensoleillée, négligeant la silhouette de Tel-Aviv qui se détache à l?horizon, un violoniste joue avec expression une composition hybride, reconstruite à partir d?hymnes tant israéliens que palestiniens. Les heures de dur travail, ainsi que de la douleur mentale, laissent leurs traces sur le cou du violoniste, comme le montre la toute dernière scène de la vidéo. Cette blessure est une métaphore de la longue et douloureuse lutte entre les deux peuples et les deux cultures. Prenant comme point de départ la nationalité des auteurs et la situation actuelle en Israël, des concepts tels que l'humanité, l'expiation et de pardon acquièrent une importance accrue, et ce sont précisément les thèmes récurrents de cette ?uvre en duo. Dans la vidéo, les artistes formulent le souhait utopique que les deux ennemis réussissent à vivre en paix côte à côte.

This video rethought the role of public sculptural representations, worldwide. While often “decorative”, these sculptures are often simply objects in public spaces funded by local governments, manifesting their power in shaping both art in public realm and popular aesthetics, often giving a false perception of sculpture medium, and how it should or could be interpreted. This ongoing project was a series of video-recorded performative guerrilla actions, using sculptures located in public spaces, including the U.S., Korea, and Iran. Before performing with a given sculpture, the artist asked for advice from professional art conservators or other specialists in the field of restoration.
Wojciech Gilewicz (b. 1974) is a Polish-born New York-based interdisciplinary visual artist. The artist draws on experience in painting and video to investigate boundaries of art and space. In his recording of reality, Gilewicz uses the video camera, which can fluidly transform into a means of registering social relations, which take place “outside” his actions performed with or around his paintings or sculptural objects. Gilewicz’s art provokes reflection on the mechanisms which govern perception and its cultural conditioning. Video works by the artist were presented internationally in the framework of numerous screenings in art institutions and video festivals including Media Art Biennale WRO, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid, CURRENTS: Santa Fe International New Media Festival, and Hors Pistes Japon. His awards include grants from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation and The Joan Mitchell Foundation, his residencies include Akiyoshidai International Art Village in Japan and Changdong Art Studio/National Museum of Contemporary in Seoul, Korea. The artist has been part for the last three years of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace Program in New York, where he’s been working on his “New Paintings” series started back in 2006 inspired by NYC subway. (www.gilewicz.net) In 2017 Wojciech Gilewicz established Beach64retreat in the Rockaways, Queens, New York for creative individuals as the artist’s response to the rising precarity in arts&culture around the world. The retreat is free of charge.

When I was invited to China at the end of 2008, in my contract with Zendai MoMA in Shanghai, I was bounded to realize 6 to 8 oil paintings there. While painting, I am often using my video camera as well, which is kind of registering in a cold eye the process of the ?emergence? of my urban-based paintings. I did so also when working for the museum on this series of paintings. However, in this very project the camera is slightly drifting away from the actual paintings and is showing fragments of reality as if they were autonomous paintings themselves. The reality appears in this video quite neurotic and nervous as well as a bit hectic. It is mysterious, very much fragmented and somehow jagged. The paintings coming off the reality leave a strange tear to it or maybe rather quite a philosophic dilemma.
Wojciech Gilewicz (1974) Polish American painter, photographer, author of installations and videos. In his works, which usually combine all these disciplines, Gilewicz explores the phenomenon of illusion and the blurring of distinctions between reality and its artistic representation. He also shows how relative and changeable our perception of the surrounding world is. Gilewicz?s practice invites a reflexion on the mechanisms governing our perception and on the cultural determinants of the way we see things. www.gilewicz.net

Vidéo | dv | couleur | 3:15 | Pologne, USA | 2009
Wojciech Gilewicz: In Practice, 2009 (video) A series of oil paintings were installed outside the SculptureCenter building. The surfaces and forms of the canvases were designed to make them appear completely invisible while they were on site. A video documentating the process of placing the works in their environment encouraged visitors to explore the periphery of the building. Using a map I prepared, visitors were invited to search for the hidden paintings in the surrounding city space. I was primarily interested in challenging visitors` perception of space, reality and their surroundings. (by Wojciech Gilewicz) -------------- fragment of InPractice review by Lori Cole (ArtForum, 02.15.2009) "(...)While artists such as Peter Simensky, Carey Ascenzo, and Amy Patton struggle to reinvent site specificity, Wojciech Gilewicz defies its logic entirely in his deadpan installations-painted imitations of everyday surfaces, intended to go unnoticed in public space. In the video documentation of his project, Gilewicz nonchalantly installs the work in broad daylight, thereby performing the slight visual shifts between the trash on the surface of a garbage can and its painted replica, between a construction panel and its crafted double, and drawing attention to the way art can undermine even its own subversive rhetoric to make site both more and less noticeable." http://www.sculpture-center.org/pressSpecific.htm?id=61697

Gilewicz’s art provokes reflection on the mechanisms which govern perception and its cultural conditioning. Video works by the artist were presented internationally in the framework of numerous screenings in art institutions and video festivals including Media Art Biennale WRO, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin/Madrid, CURRENTS: Santa Fe International New Media Festival, and Hors Pistes Japon. His awards include grants from The Pollock-Krasner Foundation and The Joan Mitchell Foundation, his residencies include Akiyoshidai International Art Village in Japan and Changdong Art Studio/National Museum of Contemporary in Seoul, Korea. The artist has been part for the last three years of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace Program in New York, where he’s been working on his “New Paintings” series started back in 2006 inspired by NYC subway. (www.gilewicz.net) In 2017 Wojciech Gilewicz established Beach64retreat in the Rockaways, Queens, New York for creative individuals as the artist’s response to the rising precarity in arts&culture around the world. The retreat is free of charge.

When I was invited to China at the end of 2008, in my contract with Zendai MoMA in Shanghai, I was bounded to realize 6 to 8 oil paintings there. While painting, I am often using my video camera as well, which is kind of registering in a cold eye the process of the ?emergence? of my urban-based paintings. I did so also when working for the museum on this series of paintings. However, in this very project the camera is slightly drifting away from the actual paintings and is showing fragments of reality as if they were autonomous paintings themselves. The reality appears in this video quite neurotic and nervous as well as a bit hectic. It is mysterious, very much fragmented and somehow jagged. The paintings coming off the reality leave a strange tear to it or maybe rather quite a philosophic dilemma.
Wojciech Gilewicz (1974) Polish American painter, photographer, author of installations and videos. In his works, which usually combine all these disciplines, Gilewicz explores the phenomenon of illusion and the blurring of distinctions between reality and its artistic representation. He also shows how relative and changeable our perception of the surrounding world is. Gilewicz?s practice invites a reflexion on the mechanisms governing our perception and on the cultural determinants of the way we see things. www.gilewicz.net

Wojciech Gilewicz: In Practice, 2009 (video) A series of oil paintings were installed outside the SculptureCenter building. The surfaces and forms of the canvases were designed to make them appear completely invisible while they were on site. A video documentating the process of placing the works in their environment encouraged visitors to explore the periphery of the building. Using a map I prepared, visitors were invited to search for the hidden paintings in the surrounding city space. I was primarily interested in challenging visitors` perception of space, reality and their surroundings. (by Wojciech Gilewicz) -------------- fragment of InPractice review by Lori Cole (ArtForum, 02.15.2009) "(...)While artists such as Peter Simensky, Carey Ascenzo, and Amy Patton struggle to reinvent site specificity, Wojciech Gilewicz defies its logic entirely in his deadpan installations-painted imitations of everyday surfaces, intended to go unnoticed in public space. In the video documentation of his project, Gilewicz nonchalantly installs the work in broad daylight, thereby performing the slight visual shifts between the trash on the surface of a garbage can and its painted replica, between a construction panel and its crafted double, and drawing attention to the way art can undermine even its own subversive rhetoric to make site both more and less noticeable." http://www.sculpture-center.org/pressSpecific.htm?id=61697
