Matt Mullican Lecture

cc Media went along to the ICA Theatre to capture Matt Mullican’s lecture on 12th January 2010. This was part of the For The Blind Man exhibition.

His work explores the way in which hypnosis alters behaviour and seems to expose what lies behind the façade of identity. The symbols and shapes that he paints during the performance are a visual counterpoint to this inner journey, and point to the strong relationship between the unconscious mind and creativity.

The filming was restricted to being at the back of the theatre with one camera on the night but we have great sound and the YouTube video now has captions, hope you enjoy!

Play for Today: Cornelius Cardew Conference

21 – 22 Nov 2009
The final weekend of Calling Out Of Context focuses on the legacy of the British composer and activist Cornelius Cardew (1936-81), a figure who helped question artistic boundaries in the 1960s, but whose politics brought him back to more traditional and accessible forms of music-making in the 1970s.

This two-day symposium on Cardew, involving participants from the worlds of art and music, is co-organised with The Drawing Room , and coincides with an exhibition at their east London gallery. Through talks, performances and panel discussions, thesymposium aims to remake – rather than repeat – the legacy of Cardew, examining the questions and contradictions of his practice for their contemporary relevance.

James Frey on Memoir at ICA

On the 12 March 2009 at 7pm cc media will be filming the author, James Frey.

The memoir genre has never been so attractive to writers. But what is the use of memoir? Do we value memoir for its truth or its artfulness, and is the chief obligation of the memoirist to fidelity or to storytelling? James Frey is the author of A Million Little Pieces and Bright Shiny Morning. This evening he will be in conversation with Alex Clark, editor of Granta.

Check out the event here and buy tickets: http://www.ica.org.uk/James%20Frey%20on%20Memoir+19174.twl

Made Up Weekend at Liverpool Biennial

BANANA Performance by Orion Maxted

Music! Talks! Performance! Art! Smoke! Film!

cc Media were present at the fantastic Made Up Weekend, hosted at A Foundation.

Under the title ‘Made Up’ – meaning ‘happy’, ‘ready’ or ‘pleased’ in Liverpool – we explore in conversations, performances and screenings ‘making things up’: utopias and dystopias, narrative fiction, fantasy, myths, lies, prophesies, spectacle and subversion. Mischievous, constructive or iconoclastic, ‘Made up’ speaks about the power of the imagination and art’s capacity to transport us, to suspend disbelief and generate alternative realities.

Challenging the idea that rationality and enchantment are incommensurable, Made Up Weekend invokes the spectres that haunt not only the artistic imagination. A vision of the world familiar yet often disturbed by occultural visions, scientific anomalies, magic, or sublime irrationality. Unbound by critical orthodoxies Made Up’s aporia will entertain many and exasperate some, no doubt encouraged by the multitude of explanations resonating with the city itself.

A programme out of joint, criss-crossing the uncanny valley at a time when ‘experience has fallen in value’ to truth in make believe.

With:
sjcurtis, Daniel Odier, Tony White, Tomas Saraceno, David Blandy, Mingering Mike, Dori Hadar, Dorit Chrysler, Super Nase & Co, Barefoot Lone Pilgrim, Artists Anonymous, Richard Wilson, Anne Bean, Lois Keidan, Rachel Withers, Tai Shani, Ulf Langheinrich, Mike Stubbs, Jiyoon Lee, Yeondoo Jung, Sally O’Reilly, Ian White, Stewart Home, Gods Enteritainment, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Manuel Vason,  Rob La Frenais, Amelia Jones, George Chakravarti, Orion Maxted, and Courtney Martin, James Lawyer, Chila Burman, Ian Forsyth and Jane Pollard, Jim Holland, Patricide and others.

Berlin

During the Berlin Biennale, Program gave us a week long residency, and free use of their amazing offices on Invalidenstrasse as a base for filming interviews with Berlin-based artists. We also shot the rushes for two shorts about architecture.

The artists we interviewed are Matthew Burbidge, Sandra Meisel, and Albert Weis who work in Wedding, Nikolaus List whose studio is in Mitte, and Hadley + Maxwell, who reside in Canada but were working on a residency at Program.

Hadley + Maxwell

We will upload the films as they are completed.

We would like to wish special thanks for the generosity of the artists, and of Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga and Carson Chan – the co-founders of Program.
