STORYTELLING

Curated by Milena Hoegsberg and Kelly Shindler

July 24, 2008 7pm

STORYTELLING combines videos and films that collapse and expand the boundaries of fact and fiction from different vantage points. This resulting ambiguity offers a space rich with interpretation and the production of meaning. Drawing on the intersection between individual and collective narratives, the program's diverse roster of artists process experience through an entirely subjective lens. The lineup includes a dreamlike diary film by Aada Niilola; the macabre, kaleidoscopic animations of Martha Colburn and Peter Larsson; poetic yet critical revisitations of history by Katrine Dirckinck-Holmfeld and Nanna Debois Buhl; and an autobiographical performance by Marina Abramovic as imagined by Charles Atlas. In their juxtapositions of documentary with fantasy and the political with the personal, the works in STORYTELLING are expressions of how history and memory remain intimately linked.
