Experiencing Hypnotism
Francesco Spampinato

Experiencing Hypnotism is a series of black and white images found on the internet featuring people under the control of hypnotists. A circular graphic has been applied on the foreheads, where visible, of these people. Moreover, hypnotists’ sentences have been added. These sentences are commands pronounced by hypnotists to induce hypnosis. Some of the sentences in experiencing hypnotism have been taken from real hypnosis events, others have been taken from instruction booklets for setting up hi-fi systems like home theaters or receivers.

FY – by Michael Wolf

Michael Wolf’s popular Street View-pictures deal with the automatically produced flood of images, which is spread by Google via the internet, and belong to his oeuvre that occupies itself with the conditions of the modern urban life. For FY, similar to “A Series Of Unfortunate Events“, Michael Wolf uses the picture pool of the Google tool as basic material for his own pictures again. During researches he encountered a global mass phenomenon.

You can think about Google Street View whatever you like, there is certainly one good thing about it, because obviously Street View inspires young and old people from all classes of population to spontaneous finger exercises. The gymnastic figures are presented in very different ways. Young men with base caps and adidas-outfits work smoothly from the wrist, drivers and cyclists show their skills casually en passant, business people with tie and collar mostly approach the matter highly concentrated and with stretched arms deserve high scores on technical merits, the working class milieu prefers the upward-sweep-version with a half sideward turn most of the time. Almost acrobatic are the recently widespread “Double Fuck You“-figures, which are carried out from the hollow back or with bodies bent forward.

FY provides an interesting collection of very creative, striking and bizarre versions of this explicit gesture.

Again, A Time Machine, A Book Works touring exhibition in five parts.

Artists are playing with words again – raiding the archive, bringing the dead back to life, making the living look dead. Quicker than the ever-elusive present, they are forging a practice through words, images, books, and ephemera, that begins to anticipate the past, forecast possible histories and re-visit alternative futures.

Again, A Time Machine is a fluid tour, reinventing itself as work moves from venue to venue. Based on new commissions and archival presentations, it will generate ephemera, performance and printed material, in response to a theme which plays with and inverts notions of time, archive, distribution and received pasts and perfect futures.

Lietuva. Stories of Everyday, Paul Paper

Only now, when I‘m abroad, I can make a book about Lithuania. It is personal and subjective (like everything I do) and not about how my country is or how it looks like. For that, check tourist leaflets. It’s about growing up in a young country full of new enthusiasm. As someone born in a nation that doesn’t exist (Soviet Union), I feel strange roots carving me and my creativity. In dialogue with tradition of romantic depiction of Lithuania, this small tribute tries to avoid telling highly-coloured visual stories of places that don’t look so nice once you actually visit them. It is here rather, through objects and moments of everyday, evoke clues and insights about land that is not easy to find on the map. – Paul Paper
