With support Ambassade de France à Reykjavik.
The parallel and common histories of modern art and contemporary art – with photography, cinema, video and television – have become more and more interwoven, by placing art into the focus of the camera, in need of time. One could cite the very relevant encounter between cinema and art through the documentary film made in 1966 by Brian de Palma on modern art “The Responsive Eye”. Elaborating a program of films on contemporary creation in its broader context, is to spark meetings between subjects, domains and fields of expression as to highlight the work of art. In this perspective, the meeting between music and cinema creates a universe which is rich of singular art works. Wheater through music, singing, recitation or register of noise, the sound of the works engages in cross-plays of language, speech and listening, which Roland Barthes often emphasized the complex and subtle process. The artists design sound installations configured as spaces to experience; a song being whispered, a shout, an unbearably strident noise and some music. Other works provide scenarios for abstract sound landscapes. This collection of films emanating from the video collection of CNAP includes works by Charles de Meaux, Dominique Gonzalez Foerster, Pierre Huyghe, Ange Leccia, Romain Kronenbourg and Lorna Simpson, bear witness to the rich diversity of film creation in France, which is presented alongside the rich singularity of Icelandic creation.

The material world is the subject of a few chosen pieces from Reykjavík Art Museum’s collection. Natural phenomena, man-made things and various materials are the foundation, based on characteristics, nature, meaning and value. The exhibition is a part of the museum’s sketch work of sorts, of the history of contemporary Icelandic art. The idea is that the museum continues choosing pieces from the collection and placing them in the context of an experiment of writing art history as it happens. When pieces are bought by the museum, a certain choice takes place, reflecting on the diversity of art creation each time, but here we try to analyse even further the joint emphases, found in today’s artistic melting pot. What characterises Icelandic fine art in the 21. century? What are the subjects of artists, their methods, materials and challenges?

2nd Addis Video Art Festival
With its 2nd edition the Addis Video Art Festival continues to create a dialogue between local, and international artists by encouraging digital media culture. It will take place between 24 December and 3 January and will screen throughout Addis Ababa in a variety of locations including street corners, rooftops, public centers and art centers.
The international festival intends to provide a platform for innovative video art in Ethiopia and by sharing video art in both conventional and non-conventional settings, the festival will reach both the artist community and the everyday passerby. In the selection of works chosen for the second edition of the festival, the theme of love triangle appears in many manifestations from the intimately personal to the socio-political-environmental to the cosmic. The videos portray a sense of time that is liquid in its survey of the present moment, but in the end, moves steadfastly forward. The migrations amongst various geographies portrayed in the works correlate to various timelines as well. This is very fitting to the location of the festival in Ethiopia as it follows the Julian calendar, which is 8 years behind the Gregorian calendar, creating a new terrain of time altogether.
While the mechanics of triangulation has uses in politics, psychology, social sciences, and in the interpersonal politics of love, the essential method is always the same: by converging measurements taken from two distinct points, a more confident result is found, validating the data, be it time, space, or people, from the perspective of multiple observers. In this way, the complexity of the human experience is portrayed more accurately. However, triangulation also points out absences as space is filled from all sides in a balancing act that correlates to the other sides, one can easily find what is not contributing to the whole.
The festival will show works by Alban Wady El Neel, Mohamad El-Hadidi, Mulugeta Gebrekidan, Marie-Frnace Giaraudon, Martha Haile, Edgar Endress, Shahar Marcus & Nezaket, Helina Metaferia, Caroline Koss, Michael Macgarry, Suzanne Wawra, Onyinye Alheri Nigeria, Meike Redeker, Ng’endo Mukii, Eyal Segal, Yacob Bizuneh, Jacob Podbler and Wala & Kush and a guest program with Video Art from Iceland curated by Erin Honeycutt and featuring the artists Kristín Scheving, Sigurður Guðjónsson, Dagrún Aðalsteinnsdóttir, Dodda Maggy, Ásdis Sif Gunnarsdóttir, Logi Leo Gunnarsson and Rakel Jonsdottir.
