The paper ‘The experience of space in the creative process: Bekkur/Baenk 1,2,3…a multi-locational Nordic site specific dance film installation’ will be presented by Heike at the Annual International Conference of the Royal Geographical Society-IBG in London.
The theme of the conference is ‘The geographical imagination’ and it attracts over 1,000 geographers from around the world.
The paper is part of a session that reflects on the relationship between geography and art.
We are delighted to have been offered to take part in the Moviehouse event ‘Movement Everywhere’ at the 3rd Ward in NewYork on the 13th of March 2011.
Two of our dance videos will be shown at the event and we are hoping for a lively dialogue with the public via web-cam or in person.
Find out more about Moviehouse by watching the video below or surfing to their site.
What is Moviehouse?
Moviehouse is an interactive screening series featuring film and video work by the city’s most intrepid moviemakers and performance artists. We project a curated show on alternative spaces throughout the city. At each screening we invite our audience into a salon-style dialogue among filmmakers, audience members and the wider community.
Jeannette Ginslov interviews Islandic cartoon artist Ingi Jensson & German choreographer Heike Salzer, 11 June 2010 at the Dansehallerne Copenhagen Denmark, about their dance video installation work that resides on several sites and cities, in a variety of formats and also on an internet platform.
Is this a work that bends cinema? If it is, how?
What traditional modes of presentation is the work challenging? Do all these formats, platforms and sites, break and challenge the viewers perception of dance video? What parameters did you change in order for these works to exist on different viewing platforms? What kind of viewing experience does the viewer have and expect or are these expectations challenged?
