Art Projects: N. Stern & J. Meuninck-Ganger
In Passing Between, Nathaniel Stern and Jessica Meuninck-Ganger approach old and new media to explore images as multidimensional form. They mount translucent prints and drawings directly on top of video screens, creating moving images on paper. So they incorporate traditional printmaking with the technologies and aesthetics of contemporary digital and video art. Their juxtaposition of anachronistic and disparate methods, materials and content - print and video, paper and electronics, real and virtual - enables novel approaches to understanding each. The exhibition Passing Between will start on 30 January until 27 February 2010 at Gallery AOP in Johannesburg, South Africa.

A presentation of their work will be followed by a Videoscreening devoted to some examples of artists who work, through different techniques, to relationship between sounds and images generated by physical, chemical, mathematical, electromagnetic, and nanoscale phenomena.

SONIC ACTS XIII
AMSTERDAM: 25 FEBRUARY - 25 MARCH 2010
|
Since its inception in 1994, the annual Sonic Acts festival has questioned, examined, assembled and exhibited contemporary and historical developments at the cutting edge of art, technology, music and science. The thirteenth edition of Sonic Acts will take place in Amsterdam from 25 February to 25 March 2010 in Paradiso, De Balie, Netherlands Media Art Institute/Montevideo (NIMk) and Steim.
The title of this edition of Sonic Acts, The Poetics of Space, is a translation of La poétique de l’espace, a book by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, published in 1958. In it, Bachelard meticulously explains the influence of space and architecture on the individual, making an implicit plea for a new form of architecture founded on experience and imagination, rather than science and functionality.
