Nan°arte Vedere l'Invisibile
"La Nanoarte, nuova disciplina artistica che utilizza il potere delle nanotecnologie per realizzare opere provocatorie e sconvolgenti nella loro invisibilita' all’occhio umano, costituisce del resto la piu' evidente smentita di un pregiudizio ancora diffuso: quello che vede arte e tecnologia come due realta' distanti e non in grado di dialogare tra loro."

25-28 April, 2008 CALL + RESPONSE
A series of events hosted by artist Candice Breitz
Creative innovation has always relied, to some extent, on the logic of call-and-response, a phrase that Breitz borrows from musicologists, who use it to describe the interactive quality that is key to musical experience in various oral cultures. Mudam warmly invites you to share your ideas with a group of artists and thinkers as they explore the logic of call-and-response and reflect on strategies of artistic appropriation and creative recycling during a three-day line-up of performances, panels and discussions.
With invited guests Cory Arcangel, Martin Arnold, Pierre Bismuth, Claude Closky, Diedrich Diederichsen, Iain Forsyth + Jane Pollard, Surasi Kusolwong, Matthieu Laurette, Lawrence Lessig, Gabriel Lester, Bjørn Melhus, Momus, Jonathan Monk, Kaz Oshiro, Guillaume Paris, Paul Pfeiffer and James Webb.
Call + Response
Programme
Saturday, 26 April 2008 10am-6pm
Mondo Youtube
This day-long session brings together several artists who have explored the participatory potential of mainstream media such as advertising, the Internet, reality television, video games, MySpace and YouTube. Given the increasingly profit-driven nature of most of these formats, is it possible for a challenging culture of call-and-response to exist within these nascent public spheres, or inevitable that all criticism and innovative thought introduced into these new formats will immediately be instrumentalized towards commercial ends? Invited artists will supplement discussions of their own work with examples of mainstream media that have interested them, influenced them, or into which they have actively intervened.

The Cinema Effect: Illusion, Reality, and the Moving Image
Part I: Dreams
This two-part exhibition features moving-image artworks by a range of influential and emerging international artists whose works use film language and technology to explore the ever-increasing impact of the cinematic on our perceptions and the ways in which the very boundaries between �real life� and make-believe have become at least blurred, if not indecipherable.
The first, Dreams, addresses film�s ability to transport us out of our everyday lives and into a dream world. Using a series of artists� installations, the exhibition moves us through the different stages of consciousness and dreaming, from those moments between wakefulness and sleep to the darker recesses of the imagination and fantasy. Dreams is curated by chief curator Kerry Brougher and associate curator Kelly Gordon.
At the heart of the second part, Realisms (June 2008), is the irony that in our digital age, in which it has become easier and easier to capture real life in real time, the distinctions between fact and fiction have become increasingly complicated and difficult to decipher. Realisms is curated by curator Anne Ellegood and associate curator Kristen Hileman.

Vernissage de leur album-film concept. Réalisé en super 8 et sans aucun traitement, le film dégage une atmosphère chaude, contrastée, unique. La musique faite de sons bruts où s'entremêlent voix, guitares et synthétiseurs renforce cet univers étrange. Le spectateur se retrouve ainsi saisi par des petites vignettes autant psychédéliques que poétiques. Un objet fascinant qui se regarde autant qu'il s'écoute et célèbre la fusion entre le cinéma et la musique. Pascal Gréco et Kid Chocolat feront deux performances live au cours de la soirée, entre les DJ sets de Pol.
Private view of their album-film concept. Created in super 8 and without any treatment, the film clears a hot, contrasting and unique atmosphere.

Inscrits dans le paysage de la musique électronique française, le trio Ez3kiel découvrent au fil des années des sons d'horizons variés, mixent les musiques électroniques à des thèmes ethniques et passent d'une culture «rock/ fusion » à un projet musical et artistique plus complet, abouti et empreint de ces mélanges.
Le groupe Ez3kiel développe ainsi un projet musical mais aussi visuel. Les ambiances et les émotions véhiculées à travers leurs titres rendent l'écoute troublante et enivrante. En nous immergeant dans une atmosphère dont eux seuls ont le secret, ils présenteront leur dernier album «Battle field».
