The Great Wall of Books is both a show (performance) and an interactive sculptural installation. As its name suggests the scale of the sculpture, standing 5 metres high and 10 metres wide, is wall of books or a library in which two caretakers (performers) live in. The sculpture is an interactive and responsive space in which the community store written and oral stories via visual text, aural recording and multi-media. Objects, musings and selected stories are re-interpreted by the caretakers. WELL is a Melbourne-based performance incubator and since 1999 have been dancing like cranes, resisting gravity, teetering on the brink of reality and stitching back together the fragmented carcass of contemporary existence. Siphoning from the well of diverse knowledges and imaginings WELL people bend the traditional rules of engagement with art to invent new possibilities for meaning, creative expression and sensed experience. http://www.artfilms.com.au/Detail.aspx?catalogueNo=3395 http://www.artfilms.com.au/images/Wel-Wal.jpg http://www.artfilms.com.au/ProdTest/Detail.aspx?CategoryID=21&SubCategoryID=1&ItemID=1442 The Great Wall of Books JUST RELEASED: Masks and statues from various cultures in Africa have been described in the past as mysterious, dark, fascinating, as well as dynamic, powerful, expressive, and yes - also brutal and primitive. People unfamilair with these objects often find them unapproachable, strange and awesome. In her film, Masks, fetishes and other Obsessions Lekha Sarkar explores these hidden myths and stereotypes and takes us with her on a journey into these unique cultures. She traces her journey to Togo and the Cameroon, to High priests, healers, and magicians, a voodoo temple and traditional ritualistic feasts. Sarkar also searches in Switzerland for the answers to her questions about the fascinating traditional African art. Here, a small scene of art collectors creates the extraordinary. She questions collectors, gallery owners, dealers, curators, and missionaries in Zurich, Geneva and Zug. For the first time ever, some of these people have opened up their doors, giving us an insight into their collections of African masks and figures.

China is currently undergoing very profound changes. The implosion of the Soviet Empire has made a very deep impression on Chinese leaders, and today, communist ideals are thrown over board, one by one. They are replaced with a strange mixture of ultra-liberal recipes and Chinese solidarity, the ideology of which is yet to be written. This informative collection of Chinese documentaries reveals the drama behind the rise of the NEW CHINA. It looks at the deeper meaning of some of these changes, and what they can reveal to us in relation to the New China that it is in the process of emerging. 10 Jan 2008 01:42:43 GMT http://www.artfilms.com.au/Search.aspx?keywords=IC-NEW The series 1 Jun 2009 08:55:40 GMT 67B2EF46-0EB3-4ACD-8E79-596B477228E4 Welcome to our RSS Feed.
