9th MAGIS Gorizia International Film Studies Spring School Gorizia, April 8 13, 2011 THE ARCHIVE Memory, Cinema, Video and the Image of the Present The 9th MAGIS Spring School, organized by the University of Udine and the University of Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle, in collaboration with their network of partners Universities of Amsterdam, Bochum, Prague, Valencia and Milan-Catholic, Pisa and CineGraph/Hamburg as part of the activities of International Ph.D. in Audiovisual Studies will be held in Gorizia from April 8th to April 13th, 2011. This 9th edition of the MAGIS Spring School will focus on the relationship between audiovisual forms and the notion of The Archive. With the help of scholars, graduate students, artists, curators and representatives of art institutions, and through plenary sessions and workshops, the 9th Spring School will address The Archive in relation to specific disciplinary fields, objects and perspectives of research: Cinema & Contemporary Visual Arts, Post-Cinema, Porn Studies and Film Heritage. Cinema & Contemporary Visual Arts The archive form undoubtedly dominated curatorial and artistic practices of the last decade. On the one hand, it allowed for the adoption of a retrospective point of view toward important modernist points of reference, thereby reappraising not only their historical importance, but also their utopian aspect and experimental gesture. On the other hand, it made the assemblage and manipulation of sources (with the digital turn becoming increasingly more accessible) possible, and gave rise to a different phenomenological experience of reality, which modifies the interpretation, recording and organization of data. Sharing the theoretical framework and perspective suggested by the FilmForum 2011s call for papers, the Cinema & Contemporary Visual Arts section aims to investigate the archive form with an analysis of its significance in relation to these two aspects. We will place a particular emphasis on the relevance of research and authorial practices of Internet, of sound and moving images. The program of the Cinema & Contemporary Visual Arts section will consist of individual presentations, panels, workshops and roundtables. Applicants are invited to submit papers addressing the FilmForums general topic from this disciplinary and theoretical perspective, or to draw inspiration from the following questions: - How can art enter into relationship with the wider dynamics of individual and collective building of memory, identity and knowledge? What short circuits are created when the artist works in the same way as the archive or the museum, that is, organizing memory, identity and related imaginaries? - In what ways can the artistic remediation of documents interrogate and challenge collective memory and politically determined historic views? What are the chances of individual infiltration in the system of knowledge organization opened up by artistic practice? - How are the contemporary non-hierarchical and participatory dynamics of access to knowledge expressed by contemporary art practice? What are, at present, the possible solutions to the complex relationships between the right of access to knowledge and that of authorship? - How do the curatorial, storage, preservation and dissemination practices deal with the intangible nature of audiovisual artworks? And, more specifically, how do they deal with the concepts of de-location, variability, re-mediation, performativity and interactivity, in connection with the network and the digital nature of audiovisual data? - How do curatorial methodologies deal with new modes of knowledge organization and use determined by the digital archive as a cultural metaphor? Deadline for proposals: November 1, 2010 Length of proposal: 1 page max A short CV (10 lines max.) should be sent with proposals Email: gospringschool@gmail.com For more information, please contact: Dipartimento di Storia e Tutela dei Beni Culturali - Universit degli Studi di Udine, Palazzo Caiselli, Vicolo Florio 2 - 33100 Udine, Italy fax: +39/0432/556644 - e-mail: udineconference@gmail.com / gospringschool@gmail.com - http://filmforum.uniud.it

A Talk with Artist John Gerrard

The International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art, North America (INCCA-NA) together with Independent Media Arts Preservation (IMAP) Present A Talk by Artist John Gerrard Monday, October 25, 2010 7:00 p.m. at The Museum of Modern Art, New York As part of Modern Mondays at MoMA, Irish‐born artist John Gerrard presents his recent work in real‐time 3D. His digital landscapes are recognizable—pig farm, oil derrick, grain silo, and dust storm. Meanwhile the processes and implications are ambiguous. As day passes into night, actions occur, but a particular moment remains frozen in time. His work lies somewhere between documentary and fiction, consisting of images that are constantly developing and regenerating, but seem eternal. The underlying tension comes from Gerrard’s moral discomfort with humankind’s abuse of the environment. Organized in conjunction with Independent Media Arts Preservation (IMAP) and the International Network for the Conservation of Contemporary Art—North America (INCCA—NA), the program concludes with a look at media conservation in a conversation between the artist, and Associate Curator Barbara London, and Time‐Based Media Conservator Glenn Wharton. About Modern Mondays at MoMA Where is the cutting edge of the motion picture? Building upon The Museum of Modern Art's long tradition of exploring cinematic experimentation, Modern Mondays is a showcase for innovation on screen. Engage with contemporary filmmakers and moving image artists, and rediscover landmark works that changed the way we experience film and media. Organized by the Department of Film and the Department of Media and Performance Art. Modern Mondays is made possible by Anna Marie and Robert F. Shapiro. Additional support is provided by The Contemporary Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art. Independent Media Arts Preservation, Inc.

The postgraduate program MediaArtHistories, MA at the Department for Image Science celebrates its 3rd start in November. The two-year, low-residency Master of Arts course has played a seminal role in the establishment of this new field. It opens a passageway for students into a deeper understanding of and a practical orientation in the most important developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned international theorists, artists, curators and many others. The November 2010 module will lay the foundation of Media Art Histories and Media Archeology, looking further into issues of creating, curating, collecting, researching and preserving contemporary Media Art; followed by an excursion with an intense and intimate look into ZKM (Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany).
