Video Salon 3, Curatorial Rebound Project at Galerija10m2 . March 07–21
At the invitation of curator Molly Kleiman, Glowlab is pleased to present the works of artists Kurt Bigenho, Brian House and Marisa Olson for the exhibition “Video-Salon 3, Curatorial Rebound Project,” a collective video art exhibition at Galerija10m2. The exhibition is held in conjunction with the XXIV International Sarajevo Winter “Barricades without borders” event.
According to Kleiman, “Galerija10m2 is a non-profit art space - a glass box that seems to float along a row of shops, just off Ferhadija, the main pedestrian walkway of Sarajevo. Its three window-walls and strategic location are a virtue: it is a unique and vibrant center of the art community here.”
From the exhibition website:
Collective exhibition of video art gathering 200 artists from 30 different countries: this is a fragmentary panorama of a contemporary activity whose formal multiplicity and abundance coerce us into questioning the reality of what is “visual”, it’s temporality and it’s mobility. We have no other ambition here than to open up a crack in the video-graphic universe, to give a glimpse of the richness and multiplicity of form of the medium, with no attempt at extracting one or several tendencies that would serve to somehow refine an act of showing that intends to be purely “raw”. No subjects, no central questions, no techniques, no set time limit. The curatorial work functions by ricochet. The gallery invites numerous artistes and several curators, as each of the artists can invite another, who in turn can submit the work of a third artist, etc.
