LUPA/art's Friends

I am...: . Month long residencies where artists both create and present at LUPA/ art.

. If you’d like to do one, email us a description- pictures, text, sound, love letters- anything that helps us understand the idea.

. It must be necessary to the work that it is made in the place it is shown- otherwise approach a gallery or theatre- there are many marvellous ones in Melbourne.

. Ideas made by creating whole environments- we don’t mind with what- sound, knitting, video, science, ukelele, lectures, 3D goggles, fortune cookies, text, radio, lawn bowls.

. Cross- disciplinary collaborative contemporary arts practice- with some generous, satisfying wine drinking audience good times for the dear people who bother coming along.

. We provide two weeks of rent free time and some other stuff. There is a rental on the second two weeks, with the money going back into infrastructure and equipment for the space.

. You work with us as curators/fascilitators/dramaturges.

. We are here to help. Love to hear from you.

ok! I'll keep you posted about the process.
Let me know if you decide something. It would be wonderful to have the premiere in Australia!
Cheers,

Cool. Yes a different projector would be ideal.
I'll keep in touch with the progress of them- and see what I can think of for here.
Best,
Willoh

they were projected one after the other, but in looping, for 3 days. I wish they had left for a longer period of time, though.
I believe the ideal would be to have them each in a different projector (or plasma) in looping, but that's the luxury option.
In Sweden, besides the projection in looping, they also left a computer where people could choose which corpse to watch.
When we're done with the new series, we'll have 6 corpses, each one running 7 to 9 minutes.
Best,
Kika

Nice to hear from you.
In Sweden are you projecting the videos one after the other- for a specific viewing time? - or are they installed and people can come and go as they please?
Cheers,
Willoh

At 4:19am on 20th June 2008, kika nicolela said…: Hi Willoh,
Thanks so much for the compliment on my work!
About the Exquisite Corpse Video Project, I'm very excited about it. We've finished 3 videos, which premiered a couple of weeks ago at Formverk (a Swedish gallery).
And we're already working on 3 more videos! This time we have 20 artists from various countries collaborating. We'll probably have the new videos ready in a month.
I still didn't search for a place to premiere them, so if you're interested it would be wonderful.
cheers,
Kika

Goldfactory looks wonderful and I particularly like the definition of research space as seperate to studio/ presentation space.
It would be great to swap notes- your ideas surrounding curatorship of research space particularly.
Marvellous.

Please check out http://www.artreview.com/profile/Goldfactory a new artist-run contemporary art organisation and "research space" (more residency-studio than your average 'white cube' gallery) located in Nottingham U.K. which looks beyond borders, beyond the narrow confines of the ordinary to bring cutting edge artists and the public together…..

It may be interesting to link up and swap notes?
