INTERNACIONAL CALL FOR PROJECTS
Workshop INTERACTIVOS? in the framework of the exhibition When Process Becomes Paradigm

A collaboration of LABoral and Medialab-Prado of Área de Las Artes del Ayuntamiento de Madrid.

CALL DEADLINE: 15th of February 2010
DATES OF WORKSHOP: 8th to 20th of April 2010
LOCATION: LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón (Spain)

Call for the presentation of projects to take part in Interactivos? When Process Becomes Paradigm, as part of the programme for artists and creators of LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial. A maximum of eight proposals will be selected to be collaboratively developed in the workshop that will take place prior to the opening of the exhibition When Process Becomes Paradigm, on April 23rd 2010.

The exhibition When Process Becomes Paradigm reveals a huge shift from a culture based on the concept of manifestation and the final product (industrial society) to a culture of process. The Interactivos? workshop leading up to the exhibition is devoted to the production of artworks which follow the thesis of the exhibition. As in the exhibition, the probes and prototypes made during the Interactivos? workshop are processes that evolve, develop and alter over time. The projects developed during Interactivos? will be shown in the exhibition.

locus in quo by manuela barile

Cultural Forum of Cerveira (Vila Nova de Cerveira, PT)
18 December 09 - 16 January 10
Opening on 18 December at 9.00 p.m. (with a live performance by the author)

Locus in quo - which means "the place where something happens" - is the general title the artist gave to a body of works based on a particular theme: the sense of places. The project consists of three audio/video installations (Pesa, Cá and Birdsoundcage) and a concert performance (Oikos). These components function both as interconnected, independent works and, as a single cohesive work.

Pesa (“nest” in Estonian) is a three-channel video installation conceived in response to a site-specific performance that Manuela Barile developed at Moks, an artist residency in Estonia between September and October 2008. It consisted on building a nest in several places where the artist felt a sense of belonging (the abandoned house, the abysses of the lake, the rock near the pond, etc). Pesa describes the approach of a person who leaves with sadness and deep awareness the place to which he is attached, to set off in search of his new "home." Pesa is a project dedicated to the house, to the house of our childhood and to all the houses we have abandoned during our life. It is an interrogation on the feeling of abandon and melancholia. The sound composition is made by: sounds of the performer’s voice recorded live in places where the nests were constructed and then abandoned, field recordings made in the places described above and an abstract of an Estonian traditional song about the theme of the abandon.

Cá is a two-channel video installation developed as a consequence of the artist travels since March 2009 in search of abandoned villages in the region of São Pedro do Sul (Portugal), where she is been living since 2006. The abandoned villages are places with a strong identity, are places alive even if they are uninhabited, even if the nature has gradually absorbed them. They are places still alive because full of memory. They are a bridge with the past ... our past. The artist aim was to trace, catch and interrogate the signs of life and memory where everything seems over. Tracking the signs of memory means for her to take back our roots to reconnect us to a sense of authenticity that is being extinguished. The sound composition is made by: sounds of the performer’s voice recorded live in the abandoned villages using a binaural microphone; sounds of the abandoned villages; sounds of other villages (like the sound of a celebration in a public square, of a window opening and closing); abstracts of traditional songs of the region where there are the abandoned villages (S. Pedro do Sul, Portugal)

Birdsoundcage is a sound and video installation. Is a cage for birds recreated through the medium of sound in an empty and sterile room. Inside of it, there is a body flopped to the ground, that in order to survive decides to make a custom-made cage made by prostheses. The prostheses are obtained setting white-patched twigs of wood on her lower and upper limbs. The organic matter, with which the prostheses are made, is the rest of a nest, a place of the past that no longer exists.

"Que quem está ferido não se recolha, antes despeje seu sangue sobre o mundo"

A performance nasce da leitura das Cartas Portuguesas da Soror Mariana Alcoforado e das Novas Cartas Portuguesas de Maria Teresa Horta, Maria Isabel Barreno e Maria Velho da Costa. As da primeira autora escritas entre Dezembro de 1667 a Junho de 1668, as das três segundas, não assinadas, datam de 1971.
Tomando como ponto de partida duas cartas das 3 Marias, a Segunda Carta II e Freira Ensanguentada, ponho em prática os diversos exercícios propostos, da vingança à paixão pela paixão, sem pretexto senão o seu próprio exercício. A minha paixão é o mundo o meu exercício a arte e o objecto qualquer.

A performance revisita a paixão da mulher na nossa sociedade contemporânea, da paixão pela paixão à paixão pelo mundo. O exercício vai do privado ao público. Os objectos serão variados.
Porque o objecto da paixão é mesmo pretexto, pretexto nele e através dele, definirmos, e em que sentido, o nosso diálogo com o resto. Vejamos: o que nos resta é o mundo, e o tema é a paixão. (NCP)

Usando partes das referidas cartas e textos criados para o efeito a performance fará uso da palavra oral e escrita, da acção sobre o corpo e ainda de imagens desenhadas e projectadas no espaço performativo. Este espaço será intimista, com o público sentado em redor da performer formando um rectângulo que delimitará às acções e ao mesmo tempo confinará a performer.

1. MASTER AND MARGARITA @ PÖFF (BLACK NIGHTS FILM FESTIVAL), TALLINN
Video Jack will perform at PÖFF (Black Nights Film Festival), Kanuti Gildi Saal, Tallinn, 3/December at 21.30h:
http://www.saal.ee/event/134/

We will present our new project, Master and Margarita, an audiovisual performance inspired by Bulgakov's novel. The visual style of Video Jack's Master and Margarita brings together a visual collage of photographic and drawn elements into interactive animations, influenced by Soviet-period imagery. The surreal, almost demential, universe of Bulgakov is captured graphically. In sonic terms, the references are Igor Stravinsky, Kurt Weil, Can, Tom Waits, Einstürzende Neubauten, Pan Sonic and Vladislav Delay.
http://www.videojackstudios.com/projects/master-and-margarita/

Master and Margarita is a Video Jack project:
André Carrilho - visual design / animation
Nuno Correia - programming / music

2. HONORABLE MENTION AWARD @ FUTURE PLACES 2009
Video Jack won a 1st Honorable Mention award at Future Places 2009 festival, (Porto, Portugal), for our “Master and Margarita” performance.

What the jury said:
“The first honorable is Master and Margarita by André Carrilho and Nuno Correia of Video Jack. Their performance piece mixes music, video, and digital technology to give a fresh interpretation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s classic book about Stalinist Russia. This ever-evolving piece reinforces our understanding of how narratives change every time they are performed and every time they are re-visited.”

The jury was comprised of Hught Forrest (South by Southwest festival), Karen Kocher (University of Texas at Austin) and Cristina Sá (Universidade Católica Portuguesa).

First and second prize winners were, respectively “Outhouse” and “Oporto-Brooklyn Bridge”. “Wonderland” won the 2nd honorable mention.
