The Art of Overhead.org

Rudimentary, groovy overhead-projections from Berlin artist Katrin Bethge and Mikomikona replace traditional smooth visuals, accompanying DJ sets from Für Diesen Abend and a surprise DJ.

The Art of Overhead Presents......

A growing collection of overhead slides is submitted by artists, graphic designers, filmmakers, cartoonists, writers et cetera. Christian Faubel’s Overheadbots are completely autonomous, all their energy is delivered by the overhead.

The Art of the Overhead 2005

Marwan Rechnmaoui

The Lebanese artist designed a map of Beirut city, engraved in centimeters thick, lusterless rubber. The result is a monochrome, rather macabre puzzle.

Beirut Caoutchouc

Keith Sanborn

A careful deconstruction of one of the most revealing recordings made during the most recent Iraq war, the elimination of a couple of soldiers via satellite command. Free entrance / walk-in-walk-out.

Clear to Engage

Saul Levine

Hundreds of light bulbs, some flashing, others unwired, but all wrapped in plastic images cut by the artist, together form a kind of animated chain reaction.

Dark Light

Emile Cohl

Before he launched himself as the European pioneer of drawn animation, Cohl was one of the liveliest representatives of the ‘Incoherents’. Besides some samples of his graphic works, this exhibition comprises four of his early films.

Emile Cohl: Early Works

Engaging with Keith Sanborn (Artists' Talk)

Julien Maire

Artist/performer Julien Maire deconstructed a video camera, but kept the light sensor intact. Dots of light spread throughout the space are being recorded by this camera and form a colourful light play.

Exploding Camera

Tony Conrad

A semi-scientific experiment to expose film by electrocution, involving a Tesla Coil, medical lubricant and buckets of film developer. Results will be screened on the spot.

Film Electrocution

Peter Tscherkassky

On light boxes and monitors Tscherkassky shows two versions of his CinemaScope Trilogy: as stream of moving images, and as a montage of filmstrips.

Frame by Frame

Al and Al

Building their own blue screen special effects studio, AL and AL have subtitled reality with a computer generated simulation.

Interstella Stella

Sandra Gibson

Luis Recoder

A projector in a room spills the contents of a film reel onto the floor. Over the course of the exhibition there emerges an uncontrollable growing heap of entanglement flooding the gallery’s floor. A light spill, so to speak.

Light Spill

Kerry Laitala

For The Muse of Cinema Laitala exposed the film directly with a light source, not a movie camera.

Muse of Cinema

John Latham

Latham used a spray gun for a series of 60 one-second drawings which denoted ‘the least event’; an illustration of Latham's view on the fundamental unit of time and our existence.

One Second Drawings

Honoré D'O

Opera aperta

Paul van der Eerden

The Rotterdam artist evokes brutal, ‘primal scenes’ from which all civilized norms are banned. For this exhibition he creates a big mural drawing and covers another wall with his smaller drawings.

PanicMadSkin

Aram Bartholl

Paper Pixels takes up the 200 year old principle of the punched data carrier to convert a scène from the video game Half Life, in an 8 x 8 pixel resolution into light.

Papierpixel

The Yellow Movies are Conrad’s solution to the problem of how to produce films that could run for a lifetime. The Pickled Films are the result of a performance that involves methodically mixing raw film stock, vinegar, vegetables and spices.

Pickled Eastman Kodak 7302

Martin Creed

The film involves 19 separate takes of people vomiting to camera.

Sick Film, (Work No. 547)

Juliana Borinski

Pierre-Laurent Cassière

A digital video tape flutters in the air stream of a ventilator, dances in the light beam of a projector, throws jittery shadows: calligraphy and informal art, original cinema magic and psychedelic dream machine meet in a shared shadow-play.

Sine (Digital/Analog-Convertor)

Ana Torfs

The photo-piece ‘Toast’ is just a reflection on cinema, with the allure of an emblematic tableau. ‘Verité Projetée’ is a poster-installation that also deconstructs projection.

Toast

A performance Trigger, whereby each image, or flash of light is triggered by a live gunshot. In Trigger the interaction between the sound of the gun and the image is utterly direct.

Trigger

Anthony McCall

For the monumental ‘Two Pencil Durations’ McCall used two types of pencil for a minimalist game with simple hatch marks, to maximum effect.

Two Pencil Durations

Verité exposée

Mark Aerial Waller

A video performance based on Luis Bunuel’s Simon of the Desert (1965), interlaced with six pieces of contemporary video art, followed by a live DJ set. Bring your dancing shoes!
