Project description
In Rennes David Zérah has set a context and a series of questions cut from French art magazine Galerie Magazine(1989/90)to interview five contemporary artist’s in their cars. He is producing a short film/series of stills within the arts community of Rennes.

We are looking for someone to take the same approach in Glasgow, working with the curator to refine the list of artists, using a selection of the same questions for interviews, making creative decisions on the setting of the artist in their car while working with David to find the best solutions for both works to sit side by side on-line and at two international festivals. This is a low-fi self-produced work in dialogue with David Zérah. The Glasgow partner will be credited as a collaborator and identified as the creator of the Glasgow element.

Commissioned for the project Social Landscape curated by Patricia Fleming for La Criée centre d’art contemporain in Rennes, it is part of a series of artists’ residencies and events in France and Scotland curated specifically for the context of GI and the Rennes Biennale. The film will run on-line during both international events on www.thisiscentralstation.com and Rennes Web TV 23h60, http://www.23h60.tv Screenings will take place in Glasgow at Stereo April 18 as part of Social Landscape for GI 2010 and in Rennes during La Biennale du Rennes May 2010.

For GI, Social Landscape appears as a one –off event, which includes a performance by Muscles of Joy, new animation by Katy Dove created during her residency in Rennes, new work by Sophie Macpherson and performances by sonic artist Damien Marchal created during a three – month residency in Glasgow. David Zérah will screen a new film made in Glasgow and Rennes.

David Zérah “Art often evokes holidays and/or exchanges programs. This was one of my early experience of contemporary art when I was sixteen years old. Later, my two past curatorial projects : “Bed and Workshop” (1998) and “Voyageur Universel” (2004) talked about this experience : deplacement and familiar exchanges. The invitation to participate as part of Social Landscape is an opportunity to reactivate a professional international  network and give the posibility to collaborate with artists -  writers -  curators to share a new experience in a dynamic way”
