eARTS BEYOND : Shanghai International Gallery Exhibition of Media Art

Oriental Pearl Tower, Shanghai
From September 10th to September 20th, 2009

Curator
Zhang Ga  |  biography ›

Mr. Zhang Ga, artistic, director for eARTS BEYOND and a key Molior partner, recently invited the organization to participate in the major event.

Presented in the spectacular Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, the exhibit will include projects by Jean Dubois and Luc Courchesne, through Molior's participation.

A number of remarkable works have been assembled for the exhibition. Leading artists such as Marina Abramovic, Jim Campbell, Joseph Kosuth, Bill Viola, and David Rokeby are among those invited.

eARTS BEYOND is a platform for promoting new practices in media and contemporary arts. The event is designed to foster recognition of this art form and enhance its presence in the contemporary art market.

This is not the first time Molior has worked with Zhang Ga. As the new media consultant and curator for the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC), Mr. Zhang invited the organization to exhibit Canadian artists in Synthetic Times – Media Art China as part of the cultural events surrounding the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Tact
2000-2001
Interactive installation
+

Tact is an interactive video installation that can be controlled using a touch-sensitive screen. It sets up a meeting between the participant and an anonymous person located on the other side of the screen. The Tact program links video sequences in response to the participant’s various manipulations. Without using words, participants are invited to engage in gesticulative dialogue. By touching and rubbing, they eventually discover they are provoking unusual reactions from their virtual partner.

Literally, the word “tact” is synonymous with the sense of touch. Figuratively, however, it also means an intuitive, spontaneous and thoughtful appreciation of how it is appropriate to behave in a human relationship. The Tact project demonstrates the increasing presence of electronic mediation in interpersonal exchanges. The recent emergence of various network communication services (e-mail, forums, electronic chat) is giving rise to a particular type of public space where social relations are often filtered by anonymity or artificial identities. In many cases, these can be seen as an opportunity for openly expressing ourselves with others without actually exposing ourselves personally. Technology then plays a paradoxical role in that it provides direct access to others while maintaining a protective distance. In this kind of relationship, a strange mixture of inhibition and exhibition seems to appear.
 


Luc Courchesne  |  biography ›
Kujukurihama, Chiba, Japon
Bords de mer series
2008
Anamorphic video panorama, computer and circular frame,
60 cm diam. x 16,5 cm
+

Having dealt with landscape and the idea of immersion for the last decade, Luc Courchesne’s photographic work has drawn out the visual and symbolic significance of boundaries, abrupt transitions, thresholds. In the last two years, adapting his panoramic optical systems to video, Courchesne has focused his attention on seashores—the locus, he finds, of perpetually changing boundaries, a kind of continuous negotiation between two states, the dynamic meeting of two emphatically different and mutually transformative substances. Here, Courchesne tells us, one may read a metaphor for interpersonal relationships and the occasion for a fascinating artistic experience that consists in observing a line formed and transformed in a process at once repetitive and random.
