Orientations in video art: mapping the ‘before’ and ‘after’ of a work 方位、取向：錄像創作「誕生」的前說與待續
[Screening+Forum] 'Orientations: Boundaries Surveyed' at FP - video art etc.
6:00-9:00pm, 26 August 2017 (Saturday) @Floating Projects | **a minimum donation of HKD30 appreciated curated by Linda C.H. Lai on initiatives in contemporary video art in the Asia Pacific EXiS 2017 商品化空氣的耳濡目染，我們都強調眼前「作品」的可看性。可曾對一個眼前作品的「前生」與下一步感到興趣？對藝術創作和創作者而言，這種好奇是重要的。這次據點打開門，除了放映黎肖嫻為第14屆首爾實驗電影錄像節策展，於7月16日放映的「亞洲論壇」節目外，還邀請了節目其中兩位藝術家於放映後作延伸討論。黃淑賢會展示錄像作品的部分初稿和創作過程中出現過的實驗碎片；羅海德會介紹他最新近的還在實驗發展中作品，與前作的關連。之後參與朋友可與策展人和藝術家們自由交談。 It is likely that our consumer habits also inform our reception of art without our realizing it. What is it that we care about with a video work? Is it exciting to sit through? Does it give me new insight? Does it stretch my perceptual experience or attention mode? Fair enough. In this FP-open-door event, we call for curiosity of a different kind -- the 'before' and 'after' of a 'work', i.e. the obscurities that precede the arrival of a work's "final version," and how a completed work generates new works in progress. Yes, we think artists and the intricate processes of their artistic labor deserve deeper understanding. Screening of the complete program "Orientations: Boundaries Surveyed," curated by Linda Lai for EXiS 2017 (14th Experimental Film & Video Festival in Seoul) this past July, will be followed by Hector Rodriguez's discussion of his recent work-in-progress and Elaine Wong's disclosure of early drafts of her work shown in this program.
