Double Life by Olga Kisseleva
Conference between Vladivostok and Auvergne, March 16 from 10AM (GMT+1, Clermont-Ferrand) / 8PM (GMT+11, Vladivostok, Russia). Panelists: Olga Kisseleva (artiste), Caroline Bissière (Centre d'art de Meymac), Vera Glazkova (ARKA gallery), Simon Pourret (Transfo) and Double Life participants. Olga Kisseleva invites young artists to become co-author of one episode of the project Double Life, whose main characters combine creative activities with “money-making” professions in everyday life. Each new episode of the project is a video-diptych consisting of a documentary material of the protagonist's life and an artistic endeavor, conceived by the co-author. Olga Kisseleva creates her work in the same way as a scientist would approach their work in biology, geophysics or social science. She observes life and society, then follows a scientific process as she carefully detects a discrepancy, formulates her hypothesis and finds a solution. It is these solutions which are presented as films in her project Double Life, created in collaboration with the Sorbonne‘s Laboratory of sociology and social sciences. The project seeks to understand and define the connection and relationship between a higher intellectualism and social status. She asks the question – ‘Does our society really need artists and intellectuals?’ VIDEOFORMES 3 rue du Maréchal Joffre 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France http://www.videoformes-fest.com/ March 14 - April 1 ARKA GALLERY 5, Svetlanskaya, Vladivostok, Russia http://www.arkagallery.ru/ March 15 - April 9 -- Other Info: Furtherfield - A living, breathing, thriving network http://www.furtherfield.org - for art, technology and social change since 1997 Also - Furtherfield Gallery& Social Space: http://www.furtherfield.org/gallery About Furtherfield: http://www.furtherfield.org/content/about Netbehaviour - Networked Artists List Community. http://www.netbehaviour.org http://identi.ca/furtherfield http://twitter.com/furtherfield _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
