"A few howls again?"

2009-2010

Commissioned by Taipei Bienniel, 2010; Curated by Lin Hong-John and Tirdad Zolghadr

September 7 - November 14, 2010

A few howls again? "resurrects" the brilliant and notorious German journalist and political militant, Ulrike Meinhof (1934-1976) in a stop-motion photo "animation" video loop with titles, as well as installed photos. The project raises questions about contemporary state violence and political resistance.

At left are installation views of the work at the Taipei Bienniel.

See this link for an excerpt of the video under project listing. (link)

"After Hiroshima Mon Amour" and "A Movie Will Be Shown Without the Sound"

May 8, 2009-June 14, 2009
One-person exhibition at Moderna Galerija, Ljubljana, Slovenia

The projection on opposite walls of a colored rectangular space of "After Hiroshima Mon Amour" (2008) and "A Movie Will Be Shown Without the Sound" (2006) allows the spectator to choose a position from which to take in either the Resnais/Duras film "Hiroshima mon amour" (1959), played without sound or titles, or "After Hiroshima Mon Amour." Enclosed in the same visual and aural space, the video and the film have the possibility of transforming each other.

"Nothing and Everything"

One-person exhibition at Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery
Concordia University, Montreal
January 30 - March 7, 2009
http://ellengallery.concordia.ca
Curated by Michele Theriault

Curator's statement:
This exhibition presents two major works, produced ten years apart, which consider very different contemporary issues. On the one hand, "an inadequate history of conceptual art" (1998-1999) reflects upon the renewed interest in Conceptual Art, and on the other, "After Hiroshima Mon Amour" (2008), engages with American military interventions in Iraq, and the associated criminal neglect of post-hurricane New Orleans. These works offer subtle and provocative explorations of the meeting of unconscious forces with social, political, and historical structures as they are imbricated, not only with these events, but also with forms of art, cinema and writing that have radically transformed existing conventions.

A catalogue of the same title, with a discussion between Theriault and Kolbowski can be ordered from http://ellengallery.concordia.ca

"Younger and Stronger Men"

F.T. Marinetti's "Futurist Manifesto" was scrambled and turned into a dialogue. A performance including 60 images of mass audiences from around the world, and two actors each reading parts of Marinetti's scrambled manifesto as a pseudo political debate dialogue.

"an inadequate history of conceptual art"
One-person exhibition at Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw, Poland
3/9/07 - 4/22/07
Curated by Pawel Polit
Photos 3-11 by Mariusz Michalski

This 1998/1999 project was reinstalled, with the addition of a Polish audio translation, and a new projection component. Due to the fact that a loan of audio equipment from Bang + Olufsen, required for the original specifications, was not able to be procured, this component was substituted with high-end Polish audio equipment from the 1970s.
