Nuit Blanche 2013 Yuri Ancarani à l'Hôtel de Ville


Vidéaste et photographe, Yuri Ancarani souligne dans ses films des actes de beauté et de courage. Dans les trois films qui composent la trilogie de l’artiste présentée pour Nuit Blanche, les protagonistes sont des personnes normales qui effectuent un travail physiquement difficile, dangereux, inimaginable qui les place dans une posture héroïque. La tension entre l’image en mouvement et l’image fixe est au cœur de la démarche de l’artiste dont le principe fondateur est le passage permanent du réel au métaphorique.

Paul-IX, Le Vaniteux


https://www.facebook.com/ptresset for updates on exhibitions and events

Paul-IX le vaniteux, passes time by drawing a still life from observation. The ensemble of objects depicted seems reminiscent of a Vanitas of the XVIth century; a type of motif traditionally depicting objects that symbolise different aspects of the futility of human earthly pursuits.

The irony of an artificial agent commenting upon human behaviours and mortality is counterbalanced by the knowledge that, just as the Nexus-6 in P. K. Dick’s “Do androids dream of electric sheep” the Paul series of robots have, a short life expectancy. Anyway, what is the point for such a robot to dedicate its existence to drawings that comments on human existence rather than be a utilitarian slave as expected of it?

The Paul series of robots are artificial agents obsessively focused on the drawing practice. Paul predecessors were originally developed to palliate a debilitating painter’s block and as such can be seen as creative prosthetics or behavioral self-portraits. Even if the way the Pauls draw is based on Tresset’s technique, their style is not a pastiche but rather an interpretation influenced by the robots’ characteristics.

Paul IX will be exhibited at Goldsmiths, University of London part of the “Creative Machines” exhibition, produced by S. Horak and curated by W. Latham, F. Fol Leymarie and Atau Tanaka.

NOWHERE (2009) / teaser 2


NOWHERE was created by DIMITRIS PAPAIOANNOU in 2009 to inaugurate the renovated Main Stage of the Greek National Theatre in Athens. NOWHERE explores the nature of the theatrical stage itself, a spatial mechanism continually transformed and redefined by the human presence to denote any place, and yet designed to be a non-place. 26 performers measure and mark out the space using their bodies, pitting themselves against its dimensions and technical capabilities in a site-specific performance that can be presented nowhere else. conceived & directed by DIMITRIS PAPAIOANNOU music & sound design COTI K. artistic associate ZAFOS XAGORARIS lighting design ALEKOS YIANNAROS costume design THANOS PAPASTERGIOU assistant director & creative producer TINA PAPANIKOLAOU on stage PROKOPIS AGATHOKLEOUS, THANASSIS AKOKKALIDIS, PANOS ATHANASOPOULOS, MARIA BREGIANNI, ILIA DE TCHAVES-POGA, NIKOS DRAGONAS, ALTIN HUTA, YORGOS KAFETZOPOULOS, KONSTANTINOS KARVOUNIARIS, EURIPIDES LASKARIDIS, TADEU LIESENFELD, KONSTANTINOS MARAVELIAS, YORGHOS MATSKARIS, YIANNIS MICHOS, CHRISTOS PAPADOPOULOS, YIANNIS PAPAKAMMENOS, SIMOS PATIERIDIS, ARIS PLASKASSOVITIS, ILIAS RAFAILIDIS, EVANGELIA RANDOU, KALLIOPI SIMOU, DIOGENIS SKALTSAS, SIMON TSAKIRIS, SOPHIA TSIAOUSI, MANOLIS THEODORAKIS, ANTONIS VAIS TEASER 2 — September 2009 directed by ATHINA RACHEL TSANGARI editing MATT JOHNSON a HAOS FILM production music / sound design by COTI K. http://dimitrispapaioannou.com http://fb.com/papaioannou.page http://twitter.com/papaioannou_d http://vimeo.com/papaioannou — Το ΠΟΥΘΕΝΑ δημιουργήθηκε το 2009 από τον ΔΗΜΗΤΡΗ ΠΑΠΑΪΩΑΝΝΟΥ για να εγκαινιάσει την ανακαινισμένη Κεντρική Σκηνή του Εθνικού Θεάτρου.
