Michaela Grill

Two years in the making, it’s finally time to reveal the most exiting news:

Antarctic Traces Revisited
opening: Friday, September 2nd, 6 p.m.

The Cinémathèque québécoise is pleased to invite you to the opening of Michaela Grill’s installation Antarctic Traces Revisited, in the presence of the artist.

Presented from September 2 to October 30, the exhibition explores the desolate territory of South Georgia, a British island lost in the Atlantic Ocean, off the silent, nearby continent of Antarctica. Austrian multidisciplinary artist Michaela Grill introduces an open dialogue between creation and investigation where the vivid depiction of these landscapes clashes with the archived images, maps, films and photographs that bear witness to how animals and nature have been exploited on the territory.

The opening will be followed at 7 p.m. by a performance by Steve Bates/ Elizabeth A. Vajagic and Nick Kuepfer.

Deep gratitude to Guillaume Lafeur and Doriane Briot for making this dream come true!

Wir widmen diese Personale des FREIEN KINOS der österreichischen Künstlerin Michaela Grill, die in Montréal (Ca) und Wien lebt und arbeitet. In diesem Filmprogramm ist der Fokus auf die unterschiedliche Wahrnehmung und Darstellung von Natur und Landschaft gerichtet. Ein Schwerpunkt, der sich neben der Beziehung von Bewegtbild und Sound, sowie die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Medium Film, wie ein roter Faden durch ihre Arbeit zieht.

After a long time I finally get to play with Andreas Berger again! Come see us live at Breietenseer Lichtspiele in Vienna on June 6.
