BlinkingPeople tend to blink between 8 and 41 times per minute. This means that, during this time frame, a person is, on average, blind for about 6 seconds. Traditional motion pictures, too, flicker, projecting 24 frames per second, which are interrupted by 48 phases of complete darkness. |

Auteur / AmateurThe artists in this exhibition have been chosen from two different time periods: the late sixties and seventies (i.e. the first years of video art) and today. In both cases, these are works that develop their “amateur” approach, understanding an amateur as one who appreciates art and who engages with a medium by his own means. The difference between the two generations of artists in this exhibition are their respective forms of “amateur authorship.” While contemporary artists can no longer hope to retrieve the “innocent” informality of the first generation of video artists, it is precisely their over-familiarity with digital technology which provides them with the means to develop their own forms of informed yet informal approaches to the very same medium. |

A BAS LENINE, OU LA VIERGE A L'ECURIE (DOWN WITH LENIN, OR THE VIRGIN IN THE STABLES)Taking its title from Luis Buñuel, the exhibition approaches the question of cinema from a critical and sometimes ironic perspective. Free of any fascination with the mass audience, it seeks to establish less evident relations between art and film, therefore limiting the number of works using moving image while including sculpture, photographs, performance etc. The chosen works, which are structured around two main axes – deconstruction of the cinematographic apparatus on the one hand (Jacques André, Anette Mona Chişa & Lucia Tkáčová, Andreas Reiter Raabe, Cory Arcangel) and appropriation on the other hand (Guillaume Paris, Assaf Gruber, Thomas Stimm & Leopold Redl, Danai Anesiadou) – attempt to translate cinema into forms and questions related to the visual arts. The sizeable category of artists who make films is thus deliberately ignored. Moreover, none of the artists chosen here seems to be exclusively or even particularly interested in the film medium. Thus, their relation to film that is suggested in this presentation is not automatically traceable in their other works. In some cases, even, that relation simply did not exist before it was deliberately induced by placing the works in the context of this exhibition. (Pierre Bismuth, 2010) |

Parallel Cinema Video Remakes, Sequels and Prequels of the World CinemaNew technologies have enabled many people to succeed as artists, even those no good at actual painting or sculpting. In the beginning video artists followed the track of film industry pioneers in order to learn all elements of this profession. Often unaware of it, they re-discovered methods of early silent films: short format, high-motion shooting, double exposure etc. Video artists, often accidentally, started to compete with media reality by recasting the images of music video, popular TV series, advertisements, porno films or typical Hollywood blockbusters. Our exhibition project puts together the whole history of relationship between video and cinema from the re-invention of silent film techniques to remakes of cult movies. |

Blue NosesThe Russian art collective BLUE NOSES, consisting of Alexander Shaburov and Viacheslav Mizin, became internationally well-known for their provocative performances and sarcastic taboo breaking. Since 1999 they have deconstructed the clichés of media, art and politics by means of photography and video. In particular they love to attack persons with power, who, after being exposed to ridicule and degraded to masks, become glorious main characters besides the artists themselves. |

SátántangóTwo dozen existentialistically portrayed desperados step out from the damp and dull horizon of the Hungarian Lowlands, similar to etched incunabulums. Their claim refers to the proverbial perseverance against oneself, against time and space. The protagonists’ usual daily routine plaintively concocts throughout six chapters full of tragedy and absurdity. With its seven hours run, Sátántangó is regarded as milestone of the film d’auteur. |

Mrs. Roberts is gonna be lateDaniel Pitín (1977) is primarily a painter, and works with installations that he partly develops into film sets. His painting was originally influenced by an engagement with. Subsequently, it was film sets and the façade-like image of Berlin that led to his increasing preoccupation with architecture. The engagement with architecture in connection with the construction of the closed imagery of film using scenery links him with Tomáš Svoboda (1974). He is a conceptual artist who focuses on the fundamentals and conditions behind what we then see as film. This is where the artistic approaches overlap also with the works of VALIE EXPORT. |

VALIE EXPORTVALIE EXPORT’s artistic work comprises: video environments, digital photography, installations, body performances, feature and experimental films, documentaries, Expanded Cinema, conceptual photography, body-material interactions, persona performances, objects, sculptures, texts on contemporary art history and feminism. |

Kino-eye moves time backwards (Dziga Vertov)Based on a dialogue between her own video works and those of other artists, Anna Jermolaewa has arranged positions for the exhibition “curated by_”. Despite very different filmic approaches there are several cross links between these positions. |

Anna JermolaewaAnna Jermolaewa (born 1970 in St. Petersburg, Russia) is professor for media art at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Karlsruhe and shows her photo and video works in international solo and group exhibitions. She won numerous prices (Preis der Stadt Wien 2009, Ursula Blickle Förderpreis 2002) and lives and works in Vienna. In her video works, Jermolaewa documents ordinary and familiar situations in a distant manner and with the help of montage techniques, and her sense of selecting the right moments and details reveals the absurdity and bizarreness of common situations. |

The Last Days of Jack SheppardThe film installation “The Last Days of Jack Sheppard” is based on the inferred prison encounters between the 18th century criminal Jack Sheppard and Daniel Defoe, the ghostwriter of Sheppard's “autobiography“, set in the wake of the South Sea Bubble of 1720–Britain's first major financial crisis. Shortly after Sheppards death his biography became a model for Macheath in “The Beggar’s Opera” that, in turn, Bertold Brecht adapted in his “Threepenny Opera”. |

FilmschönheitIn 1995 Chris Williams and I, on the occasion of a joint exhibition at the Wexner Center, Columbus, Ohio, did a small event with free beer. Besides the Flicker Films by Tony Conrad and Peter Kubelka, amongst other things, a remote control, a fat glass slab, Mickey Rourke and the audience were involved. That worked out very well and therefore I asked Chris Williams not only to be part of our show but also included him in its planning. |

Lapsed CinematicThese artists live in the wake of the lapsed cinematic. That is to say, simply, that the linear spectacle of classical, cinematic narrative has expired. Erik Aalto, Martin Murphy and J.D. Walsh, are unique in their endeavor to find new meaning in the syntax of installation and moving image, finding themselves at the forefront of both art and cinema in this “Lapsed Cinematic” moment. A characteristic that seems to separate them is their insistence on putting the viewer at the center of the experience. The artists are comfortable navigating this subjective hall of mirrors, created by the viewer’s projected desires. These artists are willing to validate this aspect of human nature, thus mining a new paradigm for the moving image. Aalto invites the viewer to enter his cryptic, yet pop-cultural schematic installation, which traces the interaction between three characters embodied in the abstract forms of a pyramid, circle and square. Murphy is concerned with culturally shared memory and epistemological perceptions of time, exemplified by his work in which one moment of an automobile accident is extruded into an endless moment. Walsh captures a “synaesthetic system between the sound and the image” as he is "tuning meaning" through his dexterous editing and collapsing of visuals, gesture and sound. |

Erik SchmidtErik Schmidt, born in 1968 in Herford (Germany), lives and works in Berlin. While Schmidt’s painterly position is always geared to the material aspects of color and its structure, his cinematic works focus mainly on performative execution. In his earlier cinematic works Schmidt used the performative as an essential element, employing himself as the main protagonist. |

Physicality in Sports and at WorkThe issue of physicality has been of central concern since the popularization of gender relations in many artworks and the advent of a heightened sense for visual representations of the body in public space. Despite a ubiquitous focus on various gender constellations, the functionality of the body in relation to physical activities has also been examined by artists and media theorists due to the onslaught of advertising which propagates and lives up to the notion of the “perfect body”. |

OFFEK: For a forty-eighth of a second it is dark and for a forty-eighth of a second there is an image. This is an interesting kind of movement for the brain. (…) It “sees” the black continuously, whereas the same brain sees the “image” as continuous, even if it is also “flickering”. A polyphonic impression. […] |

Drawn to ArchitectureUnder the curated by_vienna 2010 project Galerie Grita Insam is researching the juxtaposition of works with spatial and architectural structures and animated motion pictures, which is perfectly in line with the gallery’s program. In most of her works New York artist Amy Yoes is dealing exactly with these matters. Therefore we have invited her to select the artists for this group show in cooperation with the gallery and to curate the presentation in the gallery space. The result includes works that conceive architectural coherence as well as animated film and video. Most of the exhibits are created on site and reveal a rich variety of artistic concepts. Extensive wall drawings, sculptures, installations and monitors as well as projections will deliver a rich diversity of artistic media. |

Amy YoesAmy Yoes is an artist working in a multi-faceted way alternately employing painting, photography, installation, video and sculpture. An interest in decorative language and architectural space permeates all of her work. She grew up in Houston, Texas, and spent many years in Chicago. After two years in San Francisco, she settled in New York City in 1998. |
