Starting point of the work of these international artists is TV image. They are referring, in their own way, to the narrative format of TV shows, they use archive material of TV networks and they cite certain dramaturgy structures of TV program. What is specific about this exhibition is the site of exhitibtion: it's a hi-tech store. In that way, the context of the exhibition is transferred to the works' content. Also, by using that curatorial approach, Maja Čule has shown an excellent feeling for context and social criticism which becomes more closer to people and visitors outside of gallery spaces.
This exhibition is also announce of program Kratke slike (within 11th Fair of Culture (11th to 13th of Dec @ MM centre, Savska 25), Kultura promjene's newest film program orientated mostly toward short films and presentation of rarely seen films, such as experimental film or video works by young author and/or sociocultural aspects found in film festivals.

15th and 16th November / ANAGOOR at Romaeuropa Festival
ANAGOOR / VIRGILIO BRUCIA
Teatro Vascello / 15th and 16th November - Romaeuropa Festival
Our classic, the classic of all Europe, is Virgil.
Thomas Stearns Eliot
Poetry and power, beauty and violence, memory and consensus: with VIRGILIO BRUCIA Anagoor addresses these issues in a surprising perspective, going into the laboratory of the intellectual who sang the advent of the Roman Empire and somehow forged the heritage and the central educational tradition of Western Europe. Virgil bears the prejudice of being the singer of Octavian Augustus, who murdered any hope of re-establishing a republic in Ancient Rome, and later on the burden of being the symbol of the tradition of Western Colonialism. A poet in the service of imperial ideology whose solemn aura, however, Anagoor sees as cracked and in turmoil underneath: VIRGILIO BRUCIA thus becomes an opportunity to overturn the relationship between art and power, the role of culture and memory, imperial war, violence and Virgil’s bond (being he the son of peasants from Mantua) with nature, an element that often appears, in the foreground or in the background,
in the works of this Latin poet as well as in the creations of countryside settled Anagoor.

An Kaler / Anne Quirynen On Orientations | Shifting the burden
Shifting the burden is a collaboration between the video artist Anne Quirynen and the choreographer An Kaler. The piece is the result of research on the perception of movement in the transition between different artistic speeches and works. The installation fluidly shifts between the media of painting, video art and choreography. A figure inscribes a second figure. The body, projected onto a black surface, is trapped in a frame. It seems robbed of its corporeality, accompanied by a sound that resembles the attempt of drawing and the movement sequence, in the knowledge that the attempt to hear and see movement can only fail.

Meg Stuart The Only Possible City
Video, 2008 (German premiere)
“The face is at once the irreparable being-exposed of humans and the very opening in which they hide and stay hidden. The face is the only location of community, the only possible city. (Giorgio Agamben)
In 2008, Meg Stuart was invited to Manifesta7. She came to Bolzano to work with a small crew on the second floor of the Allumix Building. The aim: to shoot a video. Time foreseen: six days of work. The face-to-face videos of Vito Acconci came to mind, time capsules of compressed presence revolving around simple actions and relational axes. “I think of images as excavation sites. To vacillate between the simplest of gestures, working the trace suspended in repetition, the face: the prime canvas. The close-up as a means to hone the optical unconscious and involuntary memories of everyday behavior, singular and collective, manufactured and fractured at the same time. What’s in the timing of things? Every work is made under the specifics of a time regime. To choreograph is to come to terms with that regime. To dance is to traverse it. Face it.”
