MORGAN BERINGER SMPTE Violence, 3:00, UK, 2010   

    A structural probing of the complementary colours of SMPTE test bars combined with the

elemental binary sequences of the I-Ching.

Morgan Beringer is an American artist based in London. Having spent and continuing to spend

much of his life in transit between different countries, the thrust of his creative concern stems

from the dilemma of living in-between spaces. An acedemic background in both philosophy and

art pushes these concerns further into the realms of linguistics, performance, and video art.

ABDUL HYE

Apophenia 6.2, 2:16, UK, 2010

People seek to give meaning and find patterns in what often seems like random sounds and

images. Apophenia 6.2 explorers whether one sense stimulates the perceptions in another and

how the mind interprets the information. People have a dominate sense. For some it’s their

hearing and for others it’s their sight. The sound and images in Apophenia 6.2 are out of sync

so that at any point one of them takes the lead. People see and hear the same thing but will

evidently interpret it differently depending on their dominate sense and see and hear patterns

that are relevant to them and their experiences.

Abdul Hye is a multimedia artist, non-narrative filmmaker and animator. In his work, he

explores the relationship between the senses and how perceptions are conceived from different

stimuli. Much of his work draws on the traditional animation techniques pioneered by Norman

McLaren and Len Lye.

ANDERS WEBERG Dualism, 2:15, Sweden, 2010

Sink - swim

Fire - water

Life - death

Real - abstract

Tethered (Bound) - Floating

Anders Weberg is an artist and filmmaker working in video, sound, new media and installations

and in 2006 coined the term Peer-to-peer art or (p2p art), art made for and only available on the

peer to peer networks. Weberg’s work is primarily concerned with identity. The human body lies

at the root of projects that formally and conceptually chart identity and its construction as a

preamble to broaching matters of violence, genders, memory, loss or ideology in which

personal experiences co-exists with references to popular culture, the media and consumerism.

Specializing in digital technologies, he aims to mix genres and ways of expression to explore

the potential of audio visual media.

Weberg is currently based Malmö in the south of Sweden and has exhibited at numerous

art/film festivals, galleries, and museums internationally.

OLGA KOROLEVA Unbelievable, 7:31, UK, 2010

Unbelievable (2010) is based on a true story of a life-long resident in Musrara, Jerusalem,

bearing documentary value. The multitude of miniature stories told by the main character

alludes to the constant sociopolitical change, whether local and specific to the that country, or

global.

in London. In 2006 she completed a Foundation Diploma in Fine Art Media at Chelsea College

SHIRA KLASMER Successions, 4:19, UK, 2010

A fascination with time resonates in the artwork of Shira Klasmer. Her work concentrates on

recording and interpretation of movement using photography and film, and seeks to create

narratives that integrate elements of time and space within the static, photographic image.

Successions is the outcome of collaboration with Flock Dance Company. Two dancers perform

a short choreographed dance piece that Klasmer photographs using her modified 35mm stills

camera. The result is a luminous flow of the entire photograph (entire roll of film) that melts the

traces of movement and time in a single image. Two panoramic-like photographs become

images in motion as they slowly scroll and unravel an entire narrative of choreography. The

video integrates photography and video in an unusual and unique way, where dance lingers

between the static and the dynamic. It also arises questions of our perception and

understanding of photography and time and its links to the cinematic.

Flock Dance Company consist of dancers and choreographers Rosie Taylor and Lizzie Carr.

‘Resonate Music’ produced the soundscape for the video with elements of sampled sounds of

Klasmer’s camera at work.

Shira Klasmer was born in Jerusalem, Israel and currently lives and works in London, UK.

INSTALLATION BY: MAGNUS QUAIFE Volatile Reactions, looped dvd and monitor, 2010

Volatile Reactions is a 10 minute looped DVD made up from footage downloaded from the

internet with the help of open source software. It is perhaps the least obviously collaborative of

my recent projects simply because it has not, in the final stage of its making, the stage that has

involved me finding, downloading, and editing the films, involved collaboration. Instead I

propose that the film exposes a process of collaboration between the protagonists, a process of

collaboration that defies boundaries of geography, that, to begin to use the language of Deleuze

and Gutarri, deterritorialises the process of collaboration.

Magnus Quaife is a Manchester based artist and Fine Art graduate of Manchester Metropolitan

University and Chelsea College of Art and Design. Exhibitions include, The Cooperative

(Liverpool Biennial), A Theatre To Address (Anolfini, Bristol) and This is the gallery and the

gallery is many things (Eastside Projects, Birmingham).

INSTALLATION BY: RACHEL RAYNS  

   

Rachel Rayns is currently undertaking a BA in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts,

based in Farnham, Surrey. Rachel's interests lay in exploring preconceived narrative devices

used in traditional filmmaking, used alongside the mechanical manipulation of camera.

FILM WORKSHOP: MARIA ANASTASSIOU and CHRIS PAUL DANIELS Unravel – the longest hand painted film in Britain

Formed by recent graduates from the Royal College of Art, and funded by the Deutsche Bank

Award for Art 2010, Unravel is an organisation comprised of five artists who work primarily as

film and video makers and deal with film in its material form.

They aim to produce a hand-painted film that correlate in length with the 874 miles between the

two extreme edges of Britain: John O’Groats and Land’s End- taking every one meter of

distance between them as a ratio to equal one frame of 16mm film.

The project was formed by Maria Anastassiou and Chris Paul Daniels whilst studying at the

Royal College of Art, Unravel is also comprised of OKO Lab of Leeds (Mark Pickles and Jo

Byrne) and, Manchester based, Kelvin Brown.
