protoPLAY curators, Nadege Derderian and Orion Maxted are presenting ‘Non Grata, Visions of Division’ is a multidisciplinary event that aims to promote the curatorial initiatives of the Estonian artists group ‘Non Grata’ and Brighton based organisation ‘Videoclub’, as well as Non Grata artistic work to audiences in Brighton.
SATURDAY 2ND DECEMBER, 2006, 4PM
The videos will be selected at the ‘12th Non Grata Film and Video Festival’ (the most renowned video festival in Estonia) through discussions between Non Grata, Videoclub and protoPLAY. The works are articulations of the theme“Pain in the Class” selected from Estonia, Finland, UK, USA, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Germany, France and Chile. The festival brings together visions of division from different countries and looks at how artists today are finding ways to think about and question
issues of class through video based work. What are the contemporary forms of segregation? Is there some international common ground of opinion and experiences? Who benefits from division?
SUNDAY 3RD DECEMBER, 2006, 6PM

Videoclub is a new showcasing opportunity in Brighton for artists who are pushing film, video and moving image practice. Videoclub is responding to the increasing interest in moving image work created by artists.

In a recent work ‘The fundamental of the fundamental’, mathematical problems are solved artistically. There is a magical kind of transformation between Apollonian reason and Dionysian sensitivity. The work engages with a desire to locate foundational (cognitive) structures in a quasi-scientific process which suggests more than one type of truth.
The artist also co-organises protoPLAY events, an ongoing research in to collaboration and creativity. protoPLAY’s recent event DECONSTRUCTION/RECONSTRUCTION formed a structure for artists to come to live and work together. The reseach foregrounds the dissolution of authorial and stylistic boundaries, creating, through dynamic ambiguity, a larger space for dialogue, learning and possibility to emerge.
