MEMORY OF LIGHT - LIGHT OF MEMORY

KUNSTMUSEUM ST. GALLEN

The Kunstmuseum St. Gallen is presenting «Memory of Light - Light of Memory», a large survey of my video installations, kinetic objects, video vignettes and computer generated images: brand new works like the LED mosaic «Transit of Earth» (2022) or the 3D computer graphic image «The Sands of Mars» (2022); a few pieces from my repertoire, tailored for this exhibition, e.g. «On the Nature of Things» (1996), the video installation with the venerable rain machine; parts of the extensive «Indian Cycle», shown for the first time in Switzerland with a premiere of «Thomas Daniell in the Ruins of Naurattan» (2022).

There will be various accompanying events, coming up is the panel discussion ‹Diving into another reality› history and fascination of Game Design with Mona Mur, musician and composer, and Prof. Ulrich Götz, head of Game Design, Zürcher Hochschule der Künste..

INDOCAM is an experimental video about the artist’s travels from the US to India. Secretly shot with a cheap Chinese camera watch, it’s an attempt to capture the unforeseen reality unaltered by the apparent presence of a lens. The viewers travel along like stowaways: visa office, subway, airport, immigration, supermarket, civic reception, art opening, religious ritual, protest vigil. Experimental in genre, composited frame by frame from shaky footage and an erratic codec, INDOCAM looks at the fortuitous crisscross of the artist’s itinerary with other private lives and public events, some of which would shape the politics of India to this day.

GETTING OUT OF ROUT(IN)E

Videoformes 2021

Clermont-Ferrand/FR

During the first lockdown in France, VIDEOFORMES launched the call for project “Getting Out of Rout(in)e” and collected more than 90 videos, covering the period from March to July 2020. At the time, the situation was still unprecedented and exceptional.

Let yourself go through glances from all horizons: experimental and sensible videos and quirky or poetic visions regarding this strange period.

The videos are gathered in units about 30 minutes each.

Alexander Hahn • INDIA MATERIAL

digital & kinetic works

Opening: Saturday, April 28, 2018, 8 p.m. - 10 p.m.

April 28 - May 08, 2018 - by appointment

India Material is an artistic take on the spiritual concept of reincarnation, the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The fruit of an artist residency in India, the works integrate video with early forms of animation and historic devices, precursors to modern time-based media. The loop in particular acts as a vehicle to virtually sculpt from everyday life essential, alas transient moments while keeping everything in flux – replay ad infinitum.
