(Perry Bard, Post-Yugoslavia videos at Art in General, New York) The OnionSphinx Award Marina Abramović: The Onion The first shot is a close up of Abramovic looking upward and holding a large onion. Her fingernails are painted bright red, just like her lips. Slowly she brings the onion closer to her mouth, taking a large bite from it and beginning to chew. Her voice-over keeps repeating the following as she devours the onion: 'I'm tired of changing planes so often, waiting in the waiting rooms, bus stations, train stations, airports. I am tired of waiting for endless passport controls. Fast shopping in shopping malls. I am tired of more career decisions: museum and gallery openings, endless receptions, standing around with a glass of plain water, pretending that I am interested in conversation. I am tired of my migraine attacks. Lonely hotel room, room service, long distance telephone calls, bad TV movies. I am tired of always falling in love with the wrong man. I am tired of being ashamed of my nose being too big, of my ass being too large, ashamed about the war in Yugoslavia. I want to go away.

ViewPointSphinx Award Anita Sarosi: ViewPoint 'We are like the flow of the white waters BuildingSphinx AwardFirst prize went to the video which is creating sofisticated structure combining together visible and invisible, material and immaterial dimensions and builds architectural and imaginary unexpected space.  Anouk de Clercq: Building Shafts of light and the camera are moving through the dark as in a glissando. Flat, sharply cut forms appear in black-and-white and high definition. They feel their way along expanses of wall, opening up storeys, windows and doors, and break down on floors, stairs and columns. In this way, according to a controlled choreography upheld by the music of Antoni Aeki, a truly architectural experience is created on the screen. Like a constructivist audiovisual mobile, the building reveals itself and is being documented as in an architect’s dream. In other words: as a spatial and atmospheric starting point for users to start leaving their marks on it.

Anouk de Clercq → Kernwasser Wunderland : Petit Palais : me+ : Portal : Conductor DogSphinx Award Andrea Arnold: Dog Fifteen-year-old Leah comes from a housing estate that backs onto the dogend of the Thames some 20 miles east of London. She lives in a run down flat with her mum Val who unable to cope with life takes out her frustrations on her daughter. Deprived of love and attention at home Leah goes looking for it elsewhere. She lurches around the estate with abusive boyfriend John who at only ninetheen is already angry at the world. Dog takes place on what starts out as ordinary day for Leah but turns out to have a shocking conclusion when John is pushed over the edge by an innocuous incident. Cultural QuarterSphinx AwardA piece that raises ethical questions on social voyeurism as well as social behaviour. Looking at the surveillance-like images, edited in a very subtle yet very manipulative way, we stand perplex on the social interaction of an unspecified suburb community, witnessing what seems an almost common routine and leaving us with feelings of disconnection, despair, and an overall state o shock, of not understanding the reality that is presented in front of us. By registering a daily reality that we usually want to close our eyes for, Mike Stubbs confronts us with a meticulously detailed social drama and manages to open our eyes in a most powerful and sustaining way.  Mike Stubbs: Cultural Quarter Cultural Quarter presents the relationships of observation in the city to its citizens, whilst begging ethical questions about surveillance, the gaze and human behaviour. It exposes some of the gaps between developers' dreams and citizens' perceptions of what cultural space means and how to use it. |
