CREATE, OBSERVE, PERFORM
screening / exhibition
Curated by Dawn Woolley and James Moore

Cardifflaiset kuvataiteilija/kuraattorit Dawn Woolley ja James Moore kokosivat Alkoviin kansainvälisen videoesityksen tuoden esiin videontekemisen laajan skaalan mm. animaatiosta dokumentaariseen ja performatiiviseen liikkuvaan kuvaan. Jotkut taiteilijoista valokoituivat ohjelmaan avoimen haun kautta, toiset ovat työskennelleet kuraattorien kanssa aiemmissa hankkeissa ja jotkut valikoituivat Outcasting-liikkuvan kuvan verkkogallerian kautta.


'Create, Observe, Perform' was curated by Cardiff based artists Dawn Woolley and James Moore. The programme didn’t have theme or central idea but brought together a wealth of artistic approaches to video art. From animation and construction to documentary and performance the artists explore the creative potential of moving image. The artists are both stylistically and geographically diverse, from UK, USA, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Norway and Argentina. Some of the artists that were featured in this programme had responded to an open call, others have worked with the curators on previous projects, further selections were made in collaboration with Outcasting (online moving image gallery).
