I’ve got three screen credits as writer and producer, but lately I’m enjoying creating expressive and unique images using HDR, lightpainting, strobes and long exposure. http://www.alanwarrenstudio.com.au - Taro Grieves Taro Grieves is a recent Product Design graduate. Inspired by the Maschinenmensch from the 1927 classic Metropolis, he has created his design persona, The Maschine Man. Hoping to be the antithesis of this corrupting robot, he brings harmony and rational thought to his design practice. His work reflects this by having a great emphasis on ontological design and user interaction. maschinedesign.com EXIST-ENCE 5 Volunteers: Rachael Archibald, Milly Cappel, Celia Cox, Clare Dyson, Matt Earle, Suzon Fuks, Taro Greives, Brodie Gardener, Coleman Grenham, Joel Lago, Maddy Miller, Nicola Morgan, David and Wendy Pritchard, Ninja Reith, Eva Rose, Max Fowler Roy, Franziska Vanderwoude and Samantha Zakrzewski A special thanks also goes out to all our friends, families as well for your continuous and perpetual support. About the program with: Nicola Morton and Rebecca Cunningham Conversations and work that makes you think, work that inspires you and anti-'work' are the three streams I see in the fifth actuation of existence. Live Art | Performance art | Action art offering a way of living utopia in the moment, offering a space of pause, a place for personal meta-physical transformation. The artists’ curated within the EXIST-ENCE 5 program work across the spectrum: from making challenging and affective works from simple materials to using technological compositional arrays to generate multiplex states of geographical and physical experience As Labanna Babalon says 'the time of the 5th dimension is coming' an indescribable sensation, but one which we can ALL experience. The mystical challenge of dimensional portalling is what drives me, the inspired, spontaneous work happens organically, it's all good for the soul. Live art has relied on the experience of the body and mind that exists in front of you, but for centuries we have been playing with portalling

    YAMA KOWA The multimedia artist was born into the world of art, as the daughter of the curator and art historian Wieland Schmied. Seeking distance and identity, she initially focused primarily on theater acting and found her true love in live art performance. She founded ACT.ART.OUT. performance theater in 2013 and is focusing fully on life-art ever since. Painting, video, collage or installations are only appearing as elements of her performative work. A speciality of her artistic practise is the work in performance cycles. So she brings the spontaneous and ephemere of live art performance in alignment with a kontinuity in time that might examine a topic over a dozen years or longer, and since the six weeks ongoing durational 2018 she developed an almost addictive preference to this sort of excessively meditative encounters.

  • Reading, Because of Love by Andrea Pagnes (Vestandpage) This
    Reading, Because of Love By Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage) This is not exactly a book review, but my humble thoughts skewed one after the other— a visceral empathic response to Franko’s life story, one of the artists who most inspired my journey through art. When someone tells you of his/her life, exposing his/her heart, every moment assumes its importance, even the most apparently banal. As we get to know a person better, there is a natural process that acts on our affective sphere. It is a mechanism mostly responsible for building friendship and respect. At least metaphorically, it can be said that the people we know and value inhabit a part of our brain. We have a copy of them stored in our memory: not an exact reproduction but series of images valid enough to stimulate our intellect and emotional intelligence. Some books offer very concentrated social information. They are to our social interests like fresh water is to the part of our brain when we are thirsty. For readers who are concerned with anything that has social and causal implications, those books are there to satisfy these interests. They stimulate reflection. Not all books, of course, but above all good essays and novels, and those with the focus on a single character, biographies and autobiographies. I always feel a certain fascination when an author of a book unlocks the doors of his/her world through an uncompromised way of writing. It is like receiving an open invitation to enter inside a place once kept secret and share what is there to be found, and so to imagine, mirror, recognise.

  • Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu
    Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu (1985, Izmir – living & working in Berlin – Istanbul) concentrates on investigating / exploring the physical / emotional limits anD bounDaries of the human boDy through performance art. Taking this corporal research as a core, Darıcıoğlu deals with hegemonic political/societal concepts and norms through her* artistic practice which radiates from performance art to, more widely, time and space based disciplines like video, installation anD public interventions. If anD when she* needs to define herself as an artist, she* chooses to use the ‘queer artist’ title. Her* take of ‘queer’ does not only refer to an area beyond heterosexuality and binary sex, but also to a platform beyond normativity as such. Between 2012-2019, the artist was in the advisory team of a queer theory books collection called Queer Düş’ün [Queer Fantasy/Thought] released by Sel Publishing House. She* is also the translator of numerous books in this collection. Besides, she* edited and compiled a book on queer theory called Queer Temaşa [Queer Contemplation/Spectacle] (2016), also published by Sel Publishing House, as a part of the same collection. Between 2014 – 2017 Leman S. Darıcıoğlu was a member of Istanbul Queer Art Collective and performed in the following art events anD venues; Zürcher Theater Spektakel, Zurich, CH; II.

  • Spaced, Art out of Place
    Page 97 / June 2014 SPACED, ART OUT OF PLACE The experiences of the Free University of Liverpool and the CyberMohalla project as examples of alternative education Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage) Don’t think they prefer the drudgery of the desk and the slavery to their circulation and to the business manager to the joy of writing. They have tried to write, and they have failed. And right there is the cursed paradox of it.1 ( Jack London, 1909) Preamble In the decades of the 1980s and the 1990s, alienation was described as a cognitive space overcharged with nervous and conditioning incentives to act, frequently de- riving from external forces to select and exclude individuals who fail to meet often badly regulated specific requirements. The dramatic economical crisis of the recent years has contributed to making individual and household debt a post post-modern form of slavery, due to the toxic effects of unscrupulous financial policies. Within this context, higher education has also become an issue linked almost exclusively to the economic status of the student and his/her family, or his/her pos- sibility of contracting a considerable loan at a certain interest to be able to complete his/her studies. This has created a form of non-meritocratic selection and unjust exclusion, evidencing another discrepancy in the idea of globalization, whose great promise now lies in ruins. The relentless pressure of production aimed at satisfy- ing the constrictive logic of the capitalistic markets and their financial oligarchies, weakening the individual’s will and his/her decision-making capacity to act dif- ferently, paints the picture of a dystopian future.

  • The 1St VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK Hybrid Body
    The 1st VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK Hybrid Body - Poetic Body Palazzo Bembo, Riva del Carbon, San Marco 4793, Venice (Italy) 08 - 15 December 2012 The first Venice International Performance Art Week, under the title “Hybrid Body-Poetic Body”, will take place in Venice from December 8th to December 15th, 2012, showcasing works by 31 international artists. Pioneers alongside established and emerging ones will trace an itinerary of still vivid past influences and current tendencies in the field. Consisting of a dynamic program of live performances, installations, photographic and video documentation, daily artist talks, and meetings with the participating artists, researchers and curators, the event focuses on concepts such as authenticity, interconnectivity, empathy, struggle, love, political and social habits, and how the Self relates to them. The purpose is also educational. The first Venice International Performance Art Week is in fact conceived as a long-term project, aiming to promote series of workshops and seminars on Performance art issues along the year on international scale, in cooperation with other cultural institutions of the city, such as the Academy of Fine Arts. Two-way communication between artists and audience is the key for this discipline, for proposing experience and investigate cutting edge ideas in different branches of the human activity. Performance art is life itself, it doesn’t represent or portray. It rather analyses how and why people and their surroundings evolve or devolve, to generate reflection. Because it is ephemeral and because the artist’s own body is the primary medium, Performance art holds an unquestionable vital potential: it steps beyond conventional borders to create an immediate impact by engaging directly the viewer emotionally and intellectually.
