FORÊT D’EXPÉRIMENTATION is part of Labocine’s „Spirit of the Forest“

Labocine’s August 2021 Issue Spirit of the Forest is out! 🌲🌳🌴

„The concept of the forests as a source of life cannot be isolated from the integrity of nature that corresponds to the integrity of the physical body and cultural personality of local and indigenous peoples. As a source of life, the forests need to be understood in accordance with the natural elements that support life, such as the earth, water, trees and wildlife, air, sun, sounds or language. Since ancient times, undisturbed patches of vegetation have been dedicated to folk spirits In this issue, we pay tribute to these very same spirits of the forests that have protected our bioreserves and have awoken at times abruptly to the the impending cries and human-induced pertubances.“ (Curated by Alexis Gambis)

Film Unframed. A History of Austrian Avant-Garde Cinema

I just found out that the amazing „Film Unframed. A History of Austrian Avant-Garde Cinema (edited by Peter Tscherkassky) is still available via sixpackfilm /Index (it’s sold out pretty much everywhere). It’s such a great read about individual artists (and I’m not only saying this because Steve Bates wrote this great piece on my work) and the entire development of experimental film in Austria. If you ever wondered why such a tiny country has produced so many leading figures in avant-garde cinema, you might find some answers here. Highly recommended!

https://sixpackfilm.com/en/indexedition/release/100/

The book includes texts by Peter Tscherkassky, Adrian Martin, Stefan Grissemann, Norbert Pfaffenbichler, Hans Scheugl, Maureen Turim, Maya McKechneay, Bert Rebhandl, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Christa Blüminger, Livio Belloi, Steve Anker, Andréa Picard, Christoph Huber, Nicole Brenez, Steve Bates, Barbara Pichler

Antarctic Traces

I’m so honoured to be part of the overview effect exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade that „explores the complexity of the ecological problematics and the inseparable links between them and issues like corporate imperialism, indigenous sovereignty, gender, different kinds of extractivisms and the importance of decolonising not just history but also our concept of nature in order to reshape an inclusive mindset akin to a post-anthropocentric world.“

Thanks so much for including Antarctic Traces, Zoran Eric!

OVERVIEW EFFECTMuseum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, June 19th – September 20th 2021 Opening of the exhibition: Saturday, June 19th at 1 pm
