1:1
PETER WEIBEL: GRZINIC/SMID
Thursday 20October, 7pm

----------------------------------------------------------------------

1:1 program puts up for the audience an encounter with the seminal work of several Romanian and international artists. Being designed as a series of screening evenings, held every month at the Centre for Visual Introspection, 1:1 highlights referential artistic practices as regard to the way the relationship between art, public sphere and the individual condition is negotiated. At the same time, because of its particular structure, a presentation in tandem of two artists, 1:1 sketches subjectively a regional and international map of modern and contemporary art where certain theoretical and visual components meet or, conversely, split up, expanding the conventional understanding of the work of these artists.

Peter Weibel (b. 1944, Ukraine) is an artist, curator and theoretician. His work includes conceptual art, performance, experimental film, video art and computer art. The artist’s work is focused on a critical analysis of the functionality of diverse electronic interactive media (film, audio and video recordings) within the construction of reality. 1:1 presents: Zeitblut (1972); TV-News (TV-Death II) (1970); Hausmusik (1972)
