15.07.2021: Open Studio Talk with Anton Ginzburg about his artist residency at the Lab
Our Artist in Residence 2021 Anton Ginzburg explores cultural-historical narratives in his films, sculptures and paintings, while also creating poetic studies of place, representation and global identity. As part of the 33rd Filmfest Dresden, he presented five of his films under the title Displacements, which are dedicated to geographical and historical transformations.
The films shown were Turo (35 minutes, 2016) and the short films Constructivist Drift (2016), Displacements (2015), Pan (2014) and Cut (2014). Turo deals with post-Soviet geography and constructivist architecture. The film Displacements is an homage to the American artists Robert Smithson and Nancy Holt and their groundbreaking film Swamp (1971), which deals with questions of perception. Pan and Cut explore the possibilities of 16mm film in comparison to analog video and digital formats. Constructivist Drift, in turn, goes back to Ivan Chtcheglov's manifesto Formly for a New Urbanism (1953), which the Situationist International published in response to the establishment of modernism.
Before the first screening in the Klemperer Hall of the Saxon State and University Library Dresden, the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden hosted an open studio talk with the artist, Prof. Ralf Weber (University Colour Research Collection) and Gwendolin Kremer (curator of the residency).
