Improvisation
Contact
Improvisation is practiced as both a concert and social dance form. It is an
improvised dance form practiced by two or more people who attempt to keep a
physical point of contact between their bodies while moving freely without
music. The dancing may be slow or fast and often involves rolling and weight-sharing;
it is practiced barefoot with loose fitting clothing. Contact Improvisation
is one of the best-known and most characteristic forms of postmodern dance.
Workshop Content
Emily will
introduce some improvisational movement and dancing techniques of Reaction/Response
for Beginner (investigating the ‘basics’ of partnering and group structures

‘Chùng’ is an
adjective in Vietnamese language that refers to a deceleration, and also to
moments of contemplation to think deeply. In our daily life, everything seems
to pass by so quickly that we hardly find a moment to reflect and contemplate
about something deeply. These rare moments of contemplation are revealed in
video works of the series through the view of the artists.
After screening
there will have a Q&A session with Nhung from Nối project.

Chinese-born media
artist Chi Jang Yin is known for her conceptual, documentary work, which
comments upon the state of Chinese culture, past and present. She often
imbues her work with elements from her background in photography and
performance art. She received her BA and her MFA from the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago in 2000. Her videos were recently awarded Honorable
Mention at the In-Out Festival,
Track one by eTeam,
2011, 1’45, Taiwan
The time is now!
The present can be replaced in real time. Not quite yet by the future, but
very easily by the past? eteam’s video Track One is a replay of such time
disjuncture. As they keep following the memory of a yellow cab that keeps
driving through the now deserted streets of Taipei, their pastime augments
itself with a mesmerizing sense of reality.
About e-Team: Since
2001 Franziska Lamprecht and Hajoe Moderegger have been collaborating under
the name eteam. Most of their projects are based on random pieces of land
they buy on ebay or in Second Life. eteam’s projects have been featured at
many venues, including Art in General, P.S.1, and Eyebeam in New York, MUMOK
in Vienna, Neues Museum Weimar in Germany, The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in
Kansas City, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Spain.
eteam’s videos have been screened at the Transmediale in Berlin, the Taiwan
International Documentary Festival in Taipei, the New York Video Festival,
and the 11th Biennale of Moving Images in Geneva. Moderegger and Lamprecht
have received funding for their work from Art in General, NYSCA, Rhizome, the
Experimental Television Center, the Henry Moore Foundation, and an Emerging
Artist Fellowship Grant from Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens. They have
been awarded residencies at the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, Smack Mellon,
Eyebeam, Harvestworks and the Center for Land Use Interpretation. Most
recently they have been awarded a Creative Capital Grant for their project
open source Grabeland.

Time pass by Nelson
Henricks, 1998, 6’34
Using a Super-8
camera, Henricks employs time-lapse photography to document the interior and
exterior of his apartment. Inspired by the work of Virginia Woolf, Time
Passes uses writing as a metaphor for notions of temporality and
impermanence.
Nelson Henricks was
born in 1963 in Bow Island, Alberta and is a graduate of the Alberta College
of Art. He moved to Montréal in 1991 and received a BFA from Concordia
University, where he now teaches. Henricks has also taught at the Université
de Québec à Montréal and McGill University. A musician, writer, curator and
artist, Henricks is best known for his videotapes, which have been exhibited
worldwide. A focus on his videowork was presented at the Museum of Modern Art
in New York as part of the Video Viewpoints series. His writings have been
published in Fuse, Public and Coil magazines, and in the anthologies So, To
Speak (Editions Artexte, 1999) and Lux (YYZ Press, 2000). Henricks co-edited
an anthology of artists’ video scripts entitled By the Skin of Their Tongues
(YYZ Press, 1997) with Steve Reinke.

Epilogue: The
Palpable Invisibility of Life by Tran T. Kim-Trang, 2006, 13’27
How can we make
visible the invisible? How can we “see” our lost loved ones? In EPILOGUE,
Vietnamese-American filmmaker Tran T. Kim Trang looks for answers to these
questions in the audio recordings of her dead mother, the handwriting of the
late French philosopher Jacques Derrida and the ultrasound photos of her
newborn baby. Finding no ready-made answers, Tran invites us to reflect about
life and death in this moving video essay about motherhood and mourning.
EPILOGUE is the eight and final installment of Tran’s THE BLINDNESS SERIES.
“When Derrida died
in 2004, EPILOGUE shifted focus from his work on mourning to ruminate on 1)
the visible and invisible traces one leaves behind: a font made from
Derrida’s infamous handwriting, my mother’s dying words, etc.; 2) the cycle
of life and death: my son’s birth on the same day, date, and time as my
mother’s death six years prior; and 3) imaging technologies that allowed one
to see an unborn child, leading to fantasies about what technologies it would
take to ‘image’ an incorporeal mother, and discovering that ancient medicine
can bring a daughter closer to her dead mother.” —TRAN T. Kim-Trang
About Tran, T.
Kim-Trang: Tran was born in Viet Nam and emigrated to the U.S. in 1975. She
received her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts and has been producing
experimental videos since the early 1990s. Her work has been exhibited
internationally. In 1999 Tran presented her Blindness Series in a solo
screening at the Museum of Modern Art. Two of her videos were included in the
Biennial exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Blindness
Series was featured at the 46th Robert Flaherty Film Seminar, both in 2000.
Her video project, an eight-video series investigating blindness and its
metaphors was completed in 2006. Tran has been nominated for a Cal
Arts/Alpert Award in the Arts and was named a 2001 Rockefeller
Film/Video/Multimedia Fellow. The fellowship has enabled her to develop an
experimental narrative feature titled Call Me Sugar, based on the life of her
mother.
Tran also
collaborates with Karl Mihail on a project known as Gene Genies Worldwide©
(genegenies.com). Their conceptual and public artworks on genetic engineering
have exhibited at the Ars Electronica Festival in Austria, Exit Art, the Tang
Museum at Skidmore College, and elsewhere in the U.S. She is currently an
Associate Professor of Art at Scripps College.
Annie Lloyd by
Cecilia Condit, 2008, 18’15
Annie Lloyd is a
daughter’s poetic documentation of the last few years of her mother’s life
and an intimate portrayal of the creativity and wisdom of old age.
Annie Lloyd is a
vivid and powerful old woman who collects leaves and revels in the wonders of
the world. She also happens to be the filmmaker’s mother — making this an
intimate tale of a mother and daughter celebrating life, love, and creativity
in the very jaws of the dying process. This short film, by the award-winning
experimental filmmaker Cecelia Condit, explores issues of aging, mortality,
mother-daughter relationships, and late-life love and creativity.
Born 1947 – Philadelphia,
PA. Cecelia Condit studied sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts, received a B.F.A. in sculpture at the Philadelphia College of Art, and
a M.F.A. in photography from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA. Her work
has been shown internationally in museums, galleries, alternative spaces and
festivals and is represented in many public and private collections including
the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, Centre Georges Pompidou, Musee National
d’Art Moderne, Paris, France, the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh and the
Polaroid Corporation. In the past 30 years, she has received numerous awards
including grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Film Institute,
the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mary L. Nohl Foundation and the
Wisconsin Arts Board. She is currently professor and director of graduate
studies in the Department of Film/Video/Animation/New Genres at the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Since the early
1980s Cecelia Condit’s narrative tapes have explored the not-so-average
experiences of the “average woman” in a social climate of sublimated
violence, fear, and misogynist aggression. Her dark-humored works conflate
fairy tale morals with the grisly sensationalism of tabloid headlines,
incorporating live action, appropriated television images, and original music
into frequently operatic narratives. Condit is a Professor of Film and Video
at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
“My work centers
around the theme of how bizarre events disrupt mundane lives. By contrasting
the commonplace with the macabre, humor with the absurd, I address a reality
that is both surprisingly believable yet strange enough to belong only to the
realm of fiction.”
–Cecelia Condit
