Everyday Again and Again (Screening and Talk by Adnan Yıldız) at e-flux video rental / the reading room

This thursday, Adnan Yıldız will screen his selections for the latest edition of the e-flux video rental (artists and works are listed below), and after the screening he will talk about how the five videos he chose have come together. He invited five artists to add their video work to the e-flux video rental project, as part of his research on audience, fiction and morality. This invitation has been developed into a dialog between the videos considering their artistic approaches and how artists relate to their characters and stories.

Both as a metaphor and as a methodological strategy, Yıldız borrows the point Bakhtin made about Dostoyevski's characters, and adapts it to the current language of video production today. According to Bakhtin, Dostoyevski's characters have the same status as the author: "The character's word about himself and his world is just as fully weighted as the author's word usually is". And in these videos one can appreciate the use of diverse artistic strategies in order to construct their fictional fabric: one is a contemporary translation of a classic piece of literature, another can be seen as a remix of an auto-biography and some popular culture icons, and in another one an artist is framing a moment of reality. Considering the different modes of production, the talk will focus on the position and the role of the artist -as the author- who develops a performative approach/research methodology to create fictional identities.

The talk will also refer to the context of video circulation and some speculative description of its audience, who is online and mostly accessing the material through Youtube.

SCREENING PROGRAM:

Alexander Vaindorf - "Kids", Christodoulos Panayiotou - "The slow dance marathon", David Blandy - "The barefoot pilgrim", Elmas Deniz - "The man who wants to be tourist", Samuel Stevens - selected works

Salon Of The Revolution - Zagreb - Croation

Salon of the Revolution is developed and curated by Ivana Bago and Antonia Majaca


Christodoulos Panayiotou, Wonder Land, 80 color slides, 2008

The title of the exhibition for the 2008 Zagreb Youth Salon – Salon of the Revolution, contains a deliberate paradox and ambiguity that defines it both as 'revolutionizing a Salon' and 'salonizing a revolution'. By creating a space of uncertainty about its meaning, it presents itself primarily as a question, reflecting on the possibilities, responsibilities, and positions which contemporary art and intellectual practice can occupy today.

The year 1968 (the year of the global revolts but also the year when the Youth Salon was first established in Zagreb) is just an allusive starting point for the multifaceted project which links strategies of resistance in the past with those of today and, in a more general sense, questions the ways in which looking into the past, even with nostalgia, can foster not only a passive attitude which Walter Benjamin reproachfully dubbed 'left melancholy', but the driving force of a new reflection on art and the present moment. The relation towards the past which the Salon of the Revolution wishes to activate is closest to Badiou’s concept of the 'fidelity to the event' and, besides 1968, the project maps a series of other 'events' from the past which together form a repertory of empowering references, or at least moments whose heritage is today worth questioning and whose 'anniversaries' we can, without cynicism, congratulate.

The show further reflects on the history of the exhibition venue, the House of Artists, designed by Ivan Mestrovic and build in 1938, which, since then, had gone through several transformations, all of which have been linked to highest instances of state politics and the changing ideologies (inaugurated as an artists’ house, it became a mosque during the WWII, then a Museum of Revolution; during the 1990s it almost became a pantheon of 'Croatian nobles', but thanks to a local artists' and intellectuals' initiative, it was finally restored to its original function of an art venue).
