Singapour mon amour: Politics and poetics of space(s)
17 June – 12 July 2015, Point Ephémère, Paris
Press Kit Singapour mon amour
Beyond the blazing power of Singapore, the artists of this city-state explore the social impact of its meteoric rise to first world nation that in fifty years has radically transformed their city and culture. To discover their gaze, their questioning, Singapour mon amour is conceived as a series of artistic interventions in Paris where the French public is invited, at each step, to appropriate an aspect of contemporary culture in Singapore.
Beirut Art Fair: Video Projects – Body Politics
18-21 September 2014, Beirut International Exhibition and Leisure Center (BIEL), Beirut
Silke Schmickl curated this year's Video Projects at Beirut Art Fair 2014. Body Politics is a programme consisting of 16 art films from the Middle East, North Africa, South and South East Asia that explores how contemporary artists comment on current political and social issues by means of their own bodies or those of others. Ranging from video art to experimental cinema, documentaries and performative experiences the selection highlights how the individual can react to the bigger and rigid body of our globalized societies by exploding conventional production modes and viewing patterns. Through personal, ironic and poetic approaches the artists invent a new visual language and take us on a colourful cinematic journey that reintroduces a notion of humanity.
