A Prior magazine, issue # 20

A Prior selected five artists, each of whom in their own way write about/ show their research. Mekhitar Garabedian and Ruth Buchanan do this in an associative, poetic manner that is also beautifully present in the visual images that they create. They offer a wealth of source material, which bears witness to great generosity and which allows visitors to cast a different eye on artistic production. Victor Burgin and Vincent Meessen decided on a dialogue. In conversation with Hilde Van Gelder and Katrin Mundt, they illuminate the fundamental concerns in their work and clarify the many theoretical influences and references that have helped shape their oeuvre. Finally, Ian Kiaer gives us insight into an art historical research produced within the strict rules of academic research. These three models of research are only a few variations in the ways that research in the arts is conducted today, by visual artists. It is an exceptional, enriching honour for us to be able to offer the artists this forum and indeed, to see how differently they approach its formal aspects.

Free Falling, PACT Zollverein, Essen (DE)

Opening at PACT Zollverein with FREE FALLING is a new series of film programmes, conversations, and lectures. The first weekend unfolds around two pivotal works that highlight junctures between artistic and societal experimentation: William Greaves’ "Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One" (1968), a rarely shown Black Cinema classic, documents the process of its own genesis, thereby questioning the borders between fiction and reality. Jean-Pierre Gorin’s filmic essay "Poto and Cabengo" (1979), most recently shown at Documenta 12, hones in on the language habits of a set of twins from California, reflecting on the limitations of societal integration. Posited in dialogue therewith are more recent works, such as those by Vincent Meessen, Stefan Hayn, Peggy Ahwesh, and Laure Prouvost.

Les soirées Flare mettent en lumière les formes contemporaines de l’image en mouvement : films d’artistes, nouveaux médias, art vidéo, cinémas en marge, qui troublent les frontières entre art contemporain et cinéma. Comment les œuvres des artistes vidéo d'aujourd'hui travaillent-elles les formes cinématographiques ? Cette actualité de l'art contemporain est abordée sous la forme d’une rencontre avec des artistes, cinéastes et vidéastes, des diffuseurs et des critiques d’art.
Ces soirées sont organisées par Languedoc-Roussillon Cinéma en collaboration avec le Musée Fabre et l'Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier Agglomération.
