Fragments Video Art Collaboration Project 2011

Synopsis
Fragments is a collaborative video art project headed by Michael Chang (DK) and Marty McCutcheon (US). Chang initiated the project in 2009 when he invited fifteen artists to collaborate on three threads of video art while adhering to specific rules. Fragments had its premiere in July 2009 in Berkeley, California at the community screening center run by McCutcheon, Berkeley Commonplace. During the event, three threads of video were projected onto a screen composed of the white-washed fragments of broken objects. Junk! The event featured music from the Californian band Slowness’ pre-release debut EP as well as live experimental video performances by visitors and members of the Commonplace Community. In April 2011, the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, New York will host a new version of Fragments as part of a Museum series focusing on collaboration. There is currently an open call for participation in the Fragments project.

What to submit
For the projection at Arnot Art Museum in 2011 we need excerpts of video art with the duration of 1 to 5 minutes.

The project
Chang and McCutcheon will build a site-specific screen and install it in one of the upstairs galleries at Arnot Art Museum. Your work will be organized into folders, with your name on it, on a computer desktop (hopefully on two computers). The computer(s) will be connected to a projector and aimed at the screen.

The event
The event at Arnot Art Museum will feature live projection performances by Chang and McCutcheon onto the screen. Visitors and invited guests will be encouraged to experiment by projecting your work onto the screen. The event will be followed by a panel discussion about art and collaboration.

ECVP Vol. 2 (Cali, Colombia)

The Exquisite Corpse Vol 2

Sábado 7 de Agosto de 2010

Hora: 7 pm

Lugar: Pascua restaurantre

The ECVP [Exquisite Corpse Video Project] is a video collaboration collaboration project inspired by the Surrealist creation method, the “Exquisite Corpse”. The project is coordinated by the Brazilian artist Kika Nicolela and currently has 63 participating artists from 21 different countries.

HOW?

In the Surrealist ‘game’, a paper is folded such that each contributor sees only a small portion of the previous contributor’s work, and begins his own work from that small portion. When the last participant is finished, the sheet is unfolded to reveal a strangely divergent, yet contiguous form or figure.

Using the semi-blind, sequential method of the surrealists’ game, ECVP participants create video art in response to the final ten seconds of the previous member’s work. Each member is asked to incorporate these seconds into their piece, creating transitions as they please, until everyone’s vision is threaded together into an instigating final “corpse.”

While the Surrealists are said to have created the method almost a century ago, only recently could such a fast-paced, pan-global, audiovisual variation of this exercise be produced. The inspiring process of exchange between artists from around the world illuminates the possibilities and potentials of a globalized, collective creativity.

WHERE?

ECVP Screenings and exhibitions have been taking place in various countries since June 2008, such as Sweden, USA, Greece, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa.
