Day 1.
Thursday 14 September
De Balie, 10:30 - 13:30
Narrative tendencies in contemporary media art
In the past, media art was often involved in formal exploration of the medium itself, paying much attention to the poetic aspects of video. Lately, a trend can be discerned where artists increasingly use 'classic' narrative structures. The dividing lines between media art, film and documentary seem to be dissolving.
Speakers
Jayce Salloum (USA), has been working in video, installation, photography, and mixed media since 1975. His work deals with a variety of contexts critically engaging itself in the representation of cultural manifestations and other cultures.
Jeroen Boomgaard (NLD), art historian and art critic. Boomgaard wrote a doctoral thesis on Rembrandt but is currently active in contemporary art. Lately he has been studying the relationship between television and visual art, especially the way in which television influences art.
