Project Arts Centre have invited four artists to produce new works with
us throughout 2007 - Rosa Barba, Jeremiah Day, Aure'lien Froment and
Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan.
We are hoping to make more transparent the process of producing new
works and publications with these artists by establishing the four
international practices together in Dublin prior to embarking on the
production of new work. Barba, Day, Froment and van Brummelen & de Haan
will depart on separate trajectories and time frames, which have been
stimulated by the Irish political, economic and social context, or by
the possibilities of production within the multi-disciplinary nature of
Project Arts Centre. Each of the processes will be punctuated by a
publication, dialogue, the possibility for exchange, and culminate in
the later presentation of new work at Project Arts Centre.
Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan
In various projects, working with 35mm and 16mm film, sculptural
installations and through the publication of writing and the telling of
their stories, Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan have been
researching the visual terrain of the changing borders of Europe, later
developing projects which actively investigate the effect that its
expansion has on local economies and the effective trade sanctions that
are employed to standardise the market value of various raw materials.
Van Brummelen & de Haan will present the 35mm triptych Grossraum and The
Formal Trajectory, one of their earliest research projects in which they
collaborated and an important founding chapter in their on-going
journey. With the emergence of the Celtic Tiger, Ireland has seen rapid
capitalist economic expansion, contributing towards inevitable cultural
self-interrogation and a heightened awareness of global identities and
economies. Within this context of rapid development and expansion,
keeping in mind Ireland's relationship to the EU, in 2007 Lonnie van
Brummelen & Siebren de Haan have been invited to continue their research
and produce a new work for Project.
Grossraum is a 35mm film, shot at the location of three of the borders
of Europe - Hrebenne, the border between Poland and Ukraine; Ceuta, the
border between Spain and Morocco; and Lefkosia, the divided capital of
Cyprus. The landscapes, largely unprepared for their status and capacity
as official control nodes, meander over traffic-jammed deadlocks,
illegal trade and make-shift border structures. The Formal Trajectory
tracks the process surrounding the production of Grossraum, including
embassy and border patrol correspondence, explaining their intentions
and telling stories about the bureaucratic realities which make these
abstract borders become frustratingly concrete.
