| ARTALK Lecture
Series Wednesday 11th May, 2005 with Ursula Biemann Artos Foundation, Nicosia / 8:00pm Artalk in association with The Pharos Trust and the Department of
Design / Intercollege present a series of art seminars with the title, Art
on the Move: Situating New Nomadism, Migration and Mobility within
Contemporary Art. These seminars aim to inform, stimulate, and generally
raise the level of critical debate within our community. The speakers are
internationally established and highly regarded practising artists,
curators, critics, writers and educators of art. Ursula Biemann is an artist and curator based in Zurich, Switzerland. Her work in both fields focuses on gender relations within global economy, media, technology and urbanism. She is known for her video-essays Performing the Border (1999), Writing Desire and Remote Sensing (2001). Her curatorial projects include Kultur (1996-1997) a research and exhibition project with women artists and academics from Istanbul, and Geography and the Politics of Mobility (2003). Border Videographies: looking at excerpts of her video essays Europlex, Remote Sensing and Contained Mobility, the lecture raises the question of how border spaces constitute themselves through the movement of people. Entering clandestine, off-track and illegal spaces, Ursula Biemann's art practice visualises a counter-geography and suggests ways in which artists may inscribe themselves in these symbolic and material spaces.For further information, please contact: | |
