Time is Love.5 /// Harsh Feelings

Module, Tristan Mory

Time is Love.5 /// Harsh Feelings

The new edition of Time is Love is based on the difficulties experienced by the earthmen to love. Simply love. Being in connection with the Other is not an easy thing in present times. We attend a fold of the individualities, a fainted solidarity and a blatant indifference for the Other. Love is a universal theme, within the reach of each. It comes along with the biggest human sufferings: the refusal, the solitude, the evil to be, the vengeance, the treason, the disappointment, the shame. The loving feelings recover the desert of our biggest troubles as our most beautiful enjoyments. Thirty selected artists venture on the thread of this tricky ambivalence. They deliver us without concession a range of complexities, bitternesses and passions generated by human relationships.

The selection operated by Kisito Assangni (artist and curator) states multiple sufferings, tearings and impossibilities of rapprochement. The presented bodies are in the heart of these individual and collective tightnesses. They are the main vectors passing on the notions of voracious passion, nostalgia and sensual slowness.

Each of the artists leads an interdisciplinary practice bringing a questioning and a criticism on a system of relation to others which appears to us as being dying. Difficult, complex relations, which faint gradually for the benefit of personal, economic and coarse interests. Each of the presented movies scrutinizes with attention the vestiges of these human connections which it is today necessary to reactivate and to resuscitate. Videos deal with prevented communications (Larry Caveney), globalization (Alysse Stepanian, Samba Fall), disturbed feelings (Nadiah Shazana, Michael Baastrup Chang), spirituality (Glenn Church, Masha Yozefpolsky), solitudes (Grace Kim, Hermelinde Hergenhahn), memories (Elastic Group, Xavier Gautier) and sensory abstractions (Fernando Velasquez).

At the centre of these loving quests, bodies translate a profound distress, both personal and collective. They are prostrate, failed (Hervé Penhoat), suffering (Charlotte Merino), meaning (Pier Giorgio de Pinto and Franko B.), inanimate, voracious (Alicja Rogalska), burning (Isidora Ficovic), sensual (Laurent Fiévet, William Esdale), abandoned (Simone Stoll), surrounded (Tristan Mory), utopian (Ulf Kristiansen) or still discouraged (Irina Gabiani). Love, in the most infinite sense of the term, crosses bodies and expresses itself every time differently. We confront ourselves to many feelings, intricate situations and multiple individualities.

The dance plays an important role in this research to reach the Other. Dance in front of the crowd, of the elements (Wai Kit Lam, Michael Douglas Hawk), to one even, to the nature (Neven Allanic), to the shadows. Dance, put our body in movement and communicate indefatigably. Dance to resist and not give in to the space. Dance to deceive clichés, standards and conventions. Here, to dance becomes an action of survival, renewal and obstinacy. By means of performances, the artists execute fragile, deprived and intimate choreographies. They proceed each to their way with various second readings of the social habits, the feelings, the contradictions and the impossibilities owed to the current world. So, codes are deconstructed, diverted and criticized for the benefit of an awareness of a visible individualism.

If Time is Love.5 raises a dark portrait of the human feelings, lights of hopes live and resist nevertheless. If today the time is synonymic money, Time is Love strives to avert the gaze towards more essential values so that the time can rhyme with that of the love, the gathering and the let go. Love as universal feeling extricates itself here from traditional clichés and from a timeless idealism. It is declined, scrutinized and translated with depth and intensity, just like the complexity of mankind.

Laurent Fiévet (France)'s installations bring about confrontations between images, re-deploying them in space and re-working them within video montages. Organised into series by theme, their materials are drawn from the realms of painting, film and photography so as to induce unexpected collisions between emblematic images stemming from our cultural heritage. New generations of images created for each specific project or captured by on-site exhibition cameras tend to enter into dialogue with their predecessors, resulting in an even more direct representation of visitors within the pieces.
Fiévet has had numerous exhibitions at Galerie La Ferronnerie, Paris; Maison des Arts, Malakoff; Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, (Finland); Galerie Ramakers, The Hague (Netherlands)...

Interview in SpaceCoolHunting

2011-01-20T17:52:00.000-08:00

On the occasion of the vernissage of Time is Love.4, the e-magazine SpaceCoolHunting meets Kisito Assangni.

Kisito, first of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to
provide spacecoolhunting.it with this interview.
"Time is Love" is an annual event and it takes place in different
places in the world, why this artistic choose?
In the form of a roving project, the video works embody the nomadic existence, which may become viable as a model for artistic survival.

Paris, London, Berlin and now Bellinzona. What unite these four
places? are this a result of a deliberate choice, maybe the union of
well-defined geographical points? or it is an uncontrollable
randomness? this randomness affects the choice of works, and this
allows interactions? (do not deny that the latter seems the most
fascinating, for me)
Paris and London were a deliberate choice. Berlin was an invitation and Bellinzona a randomness. After all, these four cities seem to be the barometer for the global art market in Europe.

Unlike the other editions, "Time Is Love 4" will do a tour: USA,
Netherlands, UK and China, complemented by a program that includes
screening, lectures, talks and live events. This is a new planned
addition, or an artistic choice of the moment?
This is absolutely a new planned addition as the audiences could engage with video art by gaining greater understanding and enjoyment.

On the "Time is Love" web site, I found a specific invitation to
send you the material. what is the policy you used for choose the
artists. What is the standard for fourth edition?
The works are less than 5 minutes and the artists expressing themselves with universal dimension about their subjects are privileged. For this edition, i'm honoured to collaborate with emergent artists and established artists like Christy Gast, Alex Pearl, Philippe Van Wolputte, Martin Dege, Kai Lossgott...
The standard is always to present critical art that foments dissension in a way to make visible what the dominant consensus tends to obliterate.

The Video Art born like art in the art. Thanks to technology, today
she is spreading, and is consolidating her aesthetic quality, and ,
is reinforcing the themes proposed. If the first moment, the public
was curious, but detached, now it begins to stimulate its development.
Can you imagine the impact on the public with this fourth edition?
The video art as social visual structure has become more available to the audience, so there is no surprise. The new technologies associated with planetary globalization have interfered in the lives of all the peoples.

Speaking about your work, I would like to know which is its the
horizon.
The artists are able to interpret the present, with a critical and
shiny look. Your works speak of post-globalization and
psychogeography. What do you think about this storic moment, and how
the men should addressed the future?
We really need love in this universe of extreme dehumanized dependence. Therefore art could be festive, funny and optimistic.
However, a man should address his future according to his own conception of life. " L'homme est le boulanger de sa vie " said Jacques Roumain.

In relation to your creations, I would like to talk to you, about
the intriguing feeling that exists between video-camera, captured or
created images, your aesthetic concept, editing and technological
interference.
With all the instruments that technology provides, i just want to be an analyst of its processes and exegete of ideological constructions. No script, no storyboard, the camera always remains static. My aim is to create a simple visual definition of the moment.
The technology does not just offer a recipe for illustrating an idea, but finds new ways of liberated artistic expression.

Good Luck for Time is Love 4
Many thanks.

Le dilemme divin, Guy Wouete

Post-globalization curator

2010-10-08T04:30:00.000-07:00

Hegel wrote along the line of: " The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn anything from history."
As a contemporary artist, if still hoping to regain the pursuit of idealistically steering towards a world's betterment through art, similar to the Western Modernist tradition, one could only seek to reevaluate and refocus on the circumstances of that time's historical high and low points and the subsequent interactions between them.

As a Post-globalization curator, my role is not only to create a framework and a stage but also to create a moment of potentiality where art and life meet each other in a head on collision.
I was born in Lome, Togo (West Africa) where the words " curator ", " video art " mean little to most people. It is the young people who are pushing limits and transforming the cultural fabric of their society in an environment where self-expression is limited.
Video technology has been utilised by artists around the world since the early 1960s. Improvements in the technical aspects of the equipment have contributed to the medium's longevity and it persists today as popular medium that is readily accessible for many artists.

My approach is collaborative with an emphasis on work that challenges with the overall aim of discovering and promoting vital artists from around the world.
Additionally, investigating how artists and curator mobilise a way of adopting shemata of actions that are concerned with the practice of the everyday in all its materiality.

The contesting images and perceptions, the assimilation of a social stereotype by that another one are core interests. Developing a methodology based on factual proclivities, confessing a subjectivity inherent in the representation of memory, time, body, love, post-globalization impact, psychogeography.
Conceptually diverse, emotionally incisive, and visually inventive, the selected works transform the most familiar video art into an illuminating investigation of contemporary culture. It calls to mind another memorable phrase of Jean-Luc Godard's, from 1970's Vent d'Est: " Ce n'est pas une juste image - c'est juste une image."

Even if demonstrating how the aesthetics of video do not simply escape into a mimicry of cinematic aspects, it is always better to show a new generation of artists expanding the traditional definition of the medium itself.
Perhaps the work of post-globalization curator is a portal that, like the sphinx' question to Oedipus, demands answering before the initiation may begin.

A concept is born

2010-09-10T16:33:00.000-07:00

12 April 2008

If the world is as big as people say it is then surely we have to break it down into the things we can understand. There is time to decipher the world through the routine of everyday.
" Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend " wrote Theophrastus (372 BC - 287 BC). Most of people think " time is money ". For me, time is love or love is time.

From there a project was born by opening the debate on the systematic of collaboration, exploring the reciprocal nature of contemporary art practice and the unique potential of video art, being both critical and celebratory. With a team comprised of a founder/curator, a coordinator and a poster designer, Time is love would present an eclectic mix of artists and works that engage the public on a number of levels. By inviting international artists to submit their work according to the theme, Time is love would bring to the world a refreshing new perspective on video art.

The project explicitly emphasizes the idea of love in these hard times and socio-cultural interference, the way in which technology and society give rise to new forms of artistic expression by using the new media. Time is love aims to consider the work of these artists as part of the global phenomenon that is contemporary art, and asks the audience to reflect upon how the time that led to the production of these works was formed.
The screening wishes to support and promote the new movements and trends in contemporary culture.
It is a showcasing opportunity for emerging and established artists who are pushing the elements of video and moving image practice. It is also an opportunity for audiences to engage with video works by gaining greater understanding and enjoyment.
The selected videos are innovative works which use technology in ingenious way with narrative, non-narrative, animation, performance or experimental.
Time is love is a non-profit event: works will be screened on a non-profit basis and for cultural purposes only.

After all, everyone needs time and love according to William E. Gladstone " we look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace."
