EdB Projects Erkka Nissinen Ellen de Bruijne Projects is pleased to present the new video Polis X by Erkka Nissinen. In this new work an assortment of humoristic and absurd characters inhabit an utopian city jokingly called Polis, pretended to be designed by Le Corbusier and Albert Speer. The city creates a space for a series of absurdistic scenes. The word “Polis” comes from the Greek language, meaning city or an entity composed of citizens. In the video Polis X (2012) Nissinen constructs a “kaleidoscope of human destinies” that reference the ancient Greek ideal of the city-state. Instead of depicting a perfected state of utopian community, the viewer is confronted by the obscene historical traces of mankind's inhumanity. During Amsterdam Art Weekend (November 29th – December 2nd 2012), there will be a new perfomance by Erkka Nissinen at Ellen de Bruijne Projects. Dolores Discoteca Flaming Star Dolores is proud to present a new installation by the Berlin based collective Discoteca Flaming Star. Founded by Cristina Gómez Barrio and Wolfgang Mayer, they work as an interdisciplinary collaborative art group, which uses songs and other forms of oral expression, understanding them as a personal response to historical events and social and political facts. They reflect upon their work by combining and recomposing it, revitalizing existing work and distilling a fresh point of view. The installation at Dolores derives from different inspirations; Black banner III (2009) which divides the Dolores can be seen as a spatial transformation and functions as a “think-textile”. With the Agora (2012) Discoteca Flaming Star has evoked this space thinking of friends engaged in a conversation while walking together. Discoteca Flaming Star creates an intangible space where the artists and the audience are welcome to think differently, each distilling its own meaning. |
