PressPausePlay

"The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era."

The photographic work of Laurence Demaison (born in France 1965) is exclusively constituted by self-portraits.

Movements of Air Etienne-Jules Marey - Photographer of Fluids

"Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904) - physiologist, doctor, biomechanics engineer and inventor in 1882 of chronophotography, a technique anticipating cinematography. He devoted three years at the end of his life, from 1899 to 1909, to photographing movements of air.
The beauty and enigmatic character of his shots of smoke are striking to today's visitors, but they also raise numerous questions. Why were these pictures produced  ? What was the purpose of the research and with what techniques were they conducted  ? Why did he turn to instant photography at a time (1899-1902) when chronophotography and cinematography were already commonly used  ? To understand this, one has to go back to the origins of the technique that dominated the physiologist's life and work: the graphic method."
From Musée d'Orsay

Galleri Neuf

Fikk denne tilsendt av en kompis og så vidt jeg vet har han med styr og stell der å gjøre også. Er et studentdrevet sted i Oslo, og de er helt ferske så muligheten for å stille ut et 'prøveprosjekt' er helt sikkert gode.

Har ikke noen konkrete ting jeg har lyst til å søke med for øyeblikket annet enn hva jeg allerede har, men hvis noen kunne tenke seg å få i stand et lite samarbeidsprosjekt hadde det vært gøy. Det er selvfølgelig også fritt frem å søke på egenhånd.

Om Galleri Neuf


GalleriNeuf ble stiftet fredag 13. januar 2011 som et studentdrevet galleri og studentforening ved Det Norske Studentersamfund (DNS) i Oslo. Vi disponerer utstillingslokale på Chateau Neuf/Det Norske Studentersamfund.


Galleriet drives på frivillig basis av kunstinteresserte studenter fra ulike utdanningsinstitusjoner, men hovedsakelig fra UiO og HiOA. Vi definerer oss selv som et «null profitt»-galleri, og tar ingen provisjon ved salg, og heller ingen andre former for avgifter av kunstnerne og medlemmer av galleriet.

Vårt mål er å gi unge kunstnere et alternativt sted å stille ut sine verker, bidra med PR rundt arrangemnet og kunstner, ha hovedansvaret for kurateringen av utstillingen, samt arbeide med tekstproduksjon rundt både utstillingen som helhet og rundt enkeltverk.

GalleriNeuf arbeider med å etablere seg som en arbeidsarena for studenter og kunstinteresserte, samt og gi disse mulighet til å få erfaring fra kunstfeltet innen kuratering, utover hva man får gjennom universitet og høyskole.

As well as being mentioned yesterday, Jason Havneraas was also the winner of Vårutstillingen 2012 and received the 100.000 NOK grant mentioned in my previous post.

Words Without Pictures

Words Without Pictures was originally conceived by curator Charlotte Cotton and artist Alex Klein as a means of creating spaces for discourse around current issues in photography. Every month for a year, beginning in November 2007, an artist, educator, critic or curator was invited to contribute a short unillustrated essay about an aspect of emerging photography. Each piece was available on the Words Without Pictures website for one month and was accompanied by a discussion forum focused on its specific topic. Over the course of its month-long “life,” each essay received both invited and unsolicited responses from a wide range of interested parties. All of these essays, responses and other provocations are gathered together here.
