'Training for a Better World' by Annie Abrahams.

By Michael Szpakowski.

Michael Szpakowski takes us through Annie Abrahams’ show at the Centre 
Régional d'Art Contemporain Languedoc-Roussillon in Sète. Annie's work, 
he says, "has no message, is not confined to any one medium, 
collaborates in multiple ways, borrows, steals (and gives) and presents 
us with a set of marvellous and mysterious objects which afford us a 
spectrum of entirely new pathways to the world, to seeing it, talking 
and thinking about it".

Annie Abrahams has a doctorate (MPhil) in biology from the University of 
Utrecht and a MA from the Academy of Fine Arts of Arnhem. In her work, 
using video, performance as well as the internet, she questions the 
possibilities and the limits of communication in general and more 
specifically investigates its modes under networked conditions. She is 
an internationally regarded pioneer of networked performance art.

Abrahams creates situations meant to reveal messy and sloppy sides of 
human behaviour, to trap reality and so makes that reality available for 
thought. She has performed and shown work extensively in France, 
including at the Pompidou Centre, Paris; the CRAC in Sète; the 
Paris–Villette theater and in many international galleries and museums 
including among others The Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb; the 
Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center in Asheville, North 
Carolina; the Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló, Spain; the New 
Musem, New York; the Armenian Center for Contemporary Experimental Art, 
Yerevan; Furtherfield gallery in London and NIMk in Amsterdam, and in 
festivals such as the Moscow Film Festival; the International Film 
Festival of Rotterdam and the Stuttgarter Filmwinter (1prize 2011), and 
on online platforms as Rhizome.org and Turbulence. http://www.bram.org/
