A polyphonic essay on memory. [Video performance]

Abstract

Drawing from the REWIND Artists Video Archive and research project European Women's Video Art in the 70s and 80s (EWVA), a Polyphonic Essay on Memory is a performance, presentation, screening and discussion on the theme of memory. Each curator will unveil their selected artworks to one another and the audience simultaneously. This format agitates expected conventions and the mediated response of presenting artworks to an audience, introducing a live, spontaneous element of performance in which the curators will respond in the moment. As such, this event provides an alternative entry to reading artworks and is recommended to those interested in the expanded field of the curatorial. Live essaying will draw from individually gathered archives of material and will unfold, surround and contextualise the presented video artworks. Both REWIND and EWVA were funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
