Between Acts describes a moment of reflection, a point of hesitation, that we use to remember, think or feel before making decisions to continue.
Between Acts describes a
moment of reflection, a point of hesitation, that we use to remember,
think or feel before making decisions to continue.
Between Acts consider a
'backstage'. That what is usually hidden from view is here at the
forefront - Performers are slipping in and out of character,
rehearsing their lines.
By utilizing the exhibition space as
a stage to accommodate moments of authenticity - or a scripted
choreography of ideas - we suggest with this exhibition to look at
different artistic positions working within performance and other
'staged' productions. Between Acts also predicts Sparwasser
2007 program, which will test to what extend the exhibition space can
function as a stage.
Jesper Just
is trained conceptually as an
artist, but is operating within the tradition of film;Armed
with formidable cinematographic skill, a battery of clever formal
devices, and a flair for storytelling, Jesper Just has used his art to
address the issues of gender, assembling and constructing,
dismembering and dismantling the many and perplexing preconceptions of
masculinity and intermale relations in the contemporary
world.Hannah Barry

Tim Etchells:
;God is sat at his computer one
day and is bored. He selects the icon of the world and drags it slowly
into the trash. Then he goes to the finder menu and selects the option
'Empty Trash'. The computer issues a warning on-screen "The trash
currently contains 268 billion items. Are you sure you want to
permanently delete them?; God thinks about it for a moment, about
all the things in the folder called The World
He cancels the emptying of the
trash. He hesitates then opens the trash and drags the folder back
towards the desktop. Then he relents and puts it back in the trash. He
takes the cursor back up the menu bar and selects Empty Trash
again..
