Stand Point
|
|
|
|
Since May 2004 Europe has gained geographical and cultural power. Simultaneously the distances are growing smaller. Official procedures centralise. Ideological binaries have been made to collapse into concensus (sic.). At what cost is all this attained ?
It is the citizen's as well as artist's critical vocation to stand up!
To react! To bring the "Point of View" to the focal point of any political agenda. |
|
|
|
|
|
"While eliminating geographical distance, this society produces a new internal distance in the form of spectacular separation." |
|
|
Guy Debord The Society of the Spectacle |
|
|
|
|
|
"A strange mixture of the symbolic and the spectacular, of challenge and simulation. This paradoxical configuration is the only original form of our time and subversive because insoluble." |
|
|
Jean Baudrillard Our Theater of Cruelty |
|
|
|
|
|
This difficulty to dissolve unconditionally any speculative matters has become incontestable. “Point of View” a media-art project by Euroscreen21projects in 2005 manifests from the original idea of Artists/Curators Judith Nothnagel and Hubert Baumann. We are pleased to host this project @ BoringArt.
There are 37 short films in the Arcades, enjoy! |

| HR GIGER BEYOND THE GOOD IN PRAGUE |
|
 For this exhibition of the creator of the Biomechanical world, father of the Alien, and
Oscar-winner for film design, the Swiss artist is coming to Prague to introduce not only
a selection of drawings paintings and sculpture, but also film, music and multimedia
projects associated with his work.
Fear
We fear most that which we cannot fully grasp. We don‘t fear the face of foreigners,
armed people, or ghosts; it’s the uncertainty of what is to come that scares us most.
What will become of us the next time we are confronted with the unknown? The condemned
are calmer than their judges. Those who are trapped are calmer than those fleeing. Even
if the fate is cruel, those sorts know all know what to expect.
Prague’s National Technical Museum will host the exhibition of HR Giger.

Bruce Nauman: Raw Materials
Language has always played a central role in Bruce Nauman's work,
providing him with a means of examining how human beings exist in the world, how they communicate or fail to communicate. For Raw Materials, he has selected 22 spoken texts taken from existing works to create an aural collage in the Turbine Hall. Removed from their original context, the individual texts and voices become almost abstract elements, taking on new meanings as they are rearranged as part of a single work.

Stanley Kubrick
Venue: Martin-Gropius-Bau
20 January – 11 April 2005 From 20 January to 11 April 2005 the Deutsches Filmmuseum Frankfurt am Main (German Film Musum) will present a major exhibition on the work of the world-famous American film director Stanley Kubrick (1928-99) in the Martin-Gropius-Bau.  Only a few directors have understood, like Kubrick, how to fascinate the audience and disturb them at the same time. His films are among the most influential contributions to recent film history; the visual worlds he has created – for example in 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (GB/USA 1965/68) – have fundamentally broadened the range of cinematic possibilities and set new standards.

JOSEPH BEUYS
at Tate Modern
04 Feb - 02 May 2005
Joseph Beuys (1921-86) is considered one of the most influential figures in modern and contemporary art. His charismatic presence and unconventional style gained him international fame and notoriety in the 1960s but his innovative influence is still felt today. This is the first major survey exhibition ever to take place in the UK.

ON PATROL
De Appel Centre for Contemporary Art Amsterdam
29 Jan - 20 Mar 2005
ON PATROL examines the many different systems that police our society, from traditional investigatory techniques to the invisible practices of gathering and classifying (personal) data that have become a form of social control. In the exhibition artists, reflecting on the public domain, show how their work relates to the panoptical surveillance society.

Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art
28 Jan - 28 Feb 2005
Theme: Dialectics of Hope
One of the most obvious consequences of political and economical stabilisation in Russia is the growing interest of the Russian society in contemporary culture, and more precisely in contemporary art. As a result a totally new Russian art infrastructure has emerged through art fairs, commercial galleries, non-profit exhibition spaces, festivals and conferences. A new Russian public, as well as the new Russian media, have become especially sensitive to everything that is new and current in contemporary culture.
