<http://teuru.org.nz/index.cfm/whats-on/events/heat-artist-talk/>
You are warmly invited to a talk tomorrow in association with HEAT: Solar
Revolutions (curated by Amanda Yates, with a screening programme curated by
Janine Randerson.)
Saturday 25 February, 12.30pm
Te Uru Learning Centre, Te Uru Gallery Titirangi
In response to our HEAT: Solar Revolutions programme, internationally renowned
artist/curator/educator Nina Czegledy discusses ecological and environmental
art activism, particularly with regard to the potential of cross-disciplinary
concerns in new media and electronic arts. Over the past decades we have
witnessed a critical transition from passive representations to active
involvement with nature, both analogue and digital. This participatory
discussion aims to question and confront the ways in which we have interfered
in our natural environment and seeks illumination.
HEAT: Solar Revolutions is an art event that asks how the sun's energy may
catalyse climate-friendly conversations, collective actions, speculations and
interventions. Heat is explored as a transformative condition that sparks
making (or un-making) processes.
Czegledy works internationally on collaborative art and science and technology
projects. The changing perception of the human body and its environment as well
as paradigm shifts in the arts inform her projects. Previous presentations and
projects include 'The Role of Art Education in an Age of Ecological Crisis and
the Globalization of Knowledge', 'Art as a Catalyst', Reframing Nature',
'Galactic Wind' and 'The River Speaks'. She has exhibited and published widely,
won awards for her artwork and has initiated, led and participated in
workshops, forums and festivals worldwide at international events. She is
Senior Fellow at KMDI, University of Toronto, Adjunct Professor Ontario College
of Art and Design University, Toronto, Research Collaborator Hexagram
International Network for Research Creation, Montreal, Senior Fellow,
Intermedia, Hungarian University of Fine Arts, Budapest, and Honorary Fellow,
Moholy Nagy University Budapest. Czegledy is a member of the Leonardo/ISAST
Governing Board, Board Member AICA International Association of Art Critics
Canada and Chair, Intercreate org New Zealand.
HEAT: Solar Revolutions runs until April 17th 2017.
