2010.04.16 Friday Bar : “Don’t be a curator” by Esther Lu + ” Live Video Art ” by Steve Tinsky | 星期五酒吧:呂岱如《別當策展人》+Steve Tinsky《現場錄像藝術表演》

本週星期五酒吧再次活動二連發:

第一發:《別當策展人》 “Don’t be a curator”, 7pm-9pm
主持 Host: 呂岱如 Esther LU

別當策展人
這不是為了打擊一般人對於當代藝術策展所存有的幻想,而是希望和有志熱血青年們一塊在辯論各種如何不成為策展人或成為策展人的可能之間,共同檢視台北當代藝術場域裡各種文化生產條件。除此之外,呂岱如也將分享她近來似乎脫軌的策展實踐。

“Don’t Be A Curator”
Inspired by the late night complains from a handful of Taipei curators in front of Taipei Contemporary Art Center last weekend, Esther Lu will try to make an open debate on the culture production conditions of curating in Taipei with the audience. Apart from this humorous twisted critique, she will also share her recent experiences, or her derailed curatorial practice.

第二發:《現場錄像藝術表演》 “Live Video Art”, 9.30pm-Late
主持 Host:Steve Tinsky

【人類,我們要往哪兒去? 】
Steve Tinsky 的現場錄像藝術表演 + Justin Yore打擊樂表演

一支錄像及現場音樂表演,彰顯人類的過去並提示未來。一個客觀的視角,觀看好壞及其間的一切,涵蓋愛、和平、戰爭、精神、死亡、苦難、歡樂、性、衝突、另類生活方式、藝術、舞蹈和表演等層面。
這位藝術家使用特殊的音樂錄像操作軟體,包括自己編寫的程式,並使用錄像混合器即時控制多個錄像層。錄像被轉換為音樂的節奏,他處理的方式使每場表演獨一無二。這樣的演出吸納了幾種不同的風格,包括超現實主義,蒙太奇和迷幻狀態。
演出使用的影像畫面來自各種不同的來源,包括藝術家自己的錄像和攝影作品,以各種具創意的方式重新製作來產生藝術上的效果。Tinsky來自美國,受燒人節的啟發而開啟了多媒體藝術生涯,並進行自我訓練。過去十年持續投入數位多媒體領域,目前住在泰國清邁,並計劃於今年稍晚移居台北。此外他也精通電子音樂,並正嘗試將這些不同的興趣融合為一個藝術形式。

[Humanity- Where do we go from Here?]
A Live Video Art Performance by Steve Tinsky
With percussion by- Justin Yore

A live video and music performance which highlights humanity’s history and hints at it’s future. An objective look at the good, bad and everything in between, covering aspects such as love, peace, war, spirituality, death, hardship, joy, sexuality, conflict, alternative lifestyles, art, dance and performance.

The artist works with special VJ software, including custom additions he has programmed himself, using multiple video layers that are controlled in real time with a hardware video mixer. The video is switched to the beat of music and processed in a manner that makes each performance unique. The resulting presentation incorporates several different styles, including Surrealism, Montage and Psychedelic modes.

The video footage used comes from a variety of sources including the artists own video and photographic work, and is reprocessed in many different creative ways for artistic impact. Mr. Tinsky is originally from the USA where he started his career in multi media art after being inspired by attending the Burning Man Arts Festival, and is self trained. He has been working in digital multimedia for the past 10 years and currently resides in Chiang Mai, Thailand, with plans to move to Taipei later this year. He is also proficient in electronic music and is in the process of merging these different interests into one art form.
