swarm-viewing @ la*D.I.Y_fest hamburg

bildwechsel presents a swarm-viewing at hamburg LA*D.I.Y_fest 2014

bildwechsel always tries to provide limelight for the wonderful films/videos that are in the collections of the bildwechsel archives (since 1979).
we know that every video/film wants to be seen. for a swarm-viewing we bring a collection of films and videos that are related to one another – by theme, or approach, or time, or place – this time it is d.i.y.
the videos/films are presented together yet individually. the people who visit the swarm event can pick up a personal dvd player and each film from a central location where we are on hand to introduce the works one by one. the films/videos then can be viewed, at their own pace, alone or in groups.
swarm-viewing is a format we’ve experimented with already and it works really well – people swap films with one another and it seems to encourage people to discuss and engage with the work – it creates a really lovely film respecting atmosphere.
please feel invited to come.
and you are always invited to bring your own videos for the bildwechsel archives.

date: september 14th, 2pm – 6pm
venue: villa magdalena k, bernstorffstraße 160a, Hamburg

Experimental Video Work By Nikki Forrest

nikkiforrest
Villa Magdalena K. and Bildwechsel invite you to an evening with Montreal based artist Nikki Forrest. She will show her recent experimental video work.

Nikki Forrest is a Montreal based visual and media artist whose practice includes video, sound, drawing and installation projects. Her short experimental videos have been shown at many festivals and galleries including: The Mix Festival (New York), The Glasgow Film and Video Workshop, The Oberhausen Short film and Video Festival (Germany), Ausland (Berlin), Le Center d’Art Santa Monica (Barcelona), Signal and Noise (Vancouver), The Images Festival (Toronto) and the Festival Internationale du Films sur l’Art (Montreal).

Her current work explores the improvisatory flow of process, materials and ideas that emerge from an interdisciplinary studio practice and the relationship between perception and how the world appears to us.

beginning: 8:30pm
venue: villa magdalena k, bernstorffstraße 160a, Hamburg

Bildwechsel calls for artist links

Please send us links for the, soon to be relaunched, women+artist link site, and the new women+artist film/video makers portal.

contact kate@ilovebildwechsel.org

more info:

1.
The “women+artist link site”
Here’s a link to the existing site: www.bildwechsel.org/portal/index.html – On the new site we would really like to include more of the wonderful artists we are in contact with, as well as to reflect more of our international connections.

2.
women+artists film / video makers site
In tandem we are working on a link-site dedicated to the work of women+ artist film / video makers. We have started to contact some of you whose work is already represented within the bildwechsel archives and collections to ask you if you’d like to be on the new site – a huge and ongoing and enjoyable job!!

**So: how about you ? **

If you are already in the archive and we’ve not contacted you yet: please get in touch.

If your work is still missing from the bildwechsel collections and archives but you’d like to take part in one or both of the link sites: we’d be happy to know you too (and if you’d like to have your work in the physical collections too we’d be happy about that as well).

For the link sites all we need is: your name, an image, a short bio, and a link to your website
and in addition, for the video-link-portal, we need a link to a film that you already have online somewhere e.g vimeo, youtube, on your own site.
