Antimatter Underground Film Festival:
"Dedicated to the exhibition and nurturing of film and video as art, Antimatter has grown into the premier showcase of experimental cinema in the west. Encompassing screenings, installations, performances and media hybrids, Antimatter provides a noncompetitive festival setting in Victoria, British Columbia, free from commercial and industry agendas."
THE SOLO PROJECT 2008
"The solo project", a newcomer to the Basel scene has been set up by Paul Kusseneers gallery in Antwerp and is supported by an array of 21 established galleries in both Europe and America in order to address a number of qualities we consider to be missing from the international art agenda. Its aims are to present artwork from an invited group of international galleries, who in turn have selected artists from their own gallery programme to make a presentation in a clear and defined manner.
The show, due to take place to coincide with Art Basel in June 2008 will make a serious attempt to focus the art gallery going public on this carefully selected group of artists, each presenting solo or collaborative projects.
The presentation will take place in the centrally located Voltahalle on the first week of June.
ANAT is pleased to announce the following two outstanding artists have been selected to receive funding for ISEA during the April round of applications.
Narinda Reeders (VIC) Through her many works including i love squid and I love my phone (2008), Help Your Self (2007) and White Collar Undone (2006), Narinda directly explores the influence of new technologies in our social lives and the increasingly blurred line between public and private. Her work, The Shy Picture (2005), an intoxicating and cheeky peak into a parallel gallery space world, will be exhibited at ISEA as a part of the Experimenta Play++ Exhibition. The Play ++ Exhibition will showcase recent Australian media artworks that respond to the
gallery visitor through playful and innovative interfaces involving touch, movement, sound, shadow, and pressure.
Margaret Seymour (NSW) Incorporating a diverse range of media including sculptural installation, 3D computer graphics, video and sound Margaret's work combines new media with older lens based technologies.
Working with simple ways of exploring the ideas of the real and the virtual - the virtual both in its contemporary sense and also as imagination and memory, Margaret has been invited to give an artist presentation at the ISEA conference which will include a short paper entitled "Reality Jam: the uncanny space of CCTV-based video art". As part of the presentation, Margaret will also show video documentation of two of her recent works, The Mirrored Room and Dis/appear.
The two artists selected during the May round will be announced shortly.
ISEA, the International Symposium on Electronic Art initiated in 1988, is the world's premier media arts event for the critical discussion and showcase of creative productions applying new technologies in interactive and digital media. Held biannually in various cities throughout the world, this migratory event is being held in Asia for the second time in its history, after Singapore successfully secured this bid. The symposium consists of three aspects of peer reviewed conference, internationally juried exhibition and various in-conjunction and partner events.
