Mariana Castillo Deball (approx 20 mins)
The video of Mariana Castillo Deball, Blackboxing, brings together a number of incidences or characters in life and history, and also in an abstract field. The young Mexican artist will present a lecture furthering these observations of Blackboxing, focussing on a few instances which were not included in her video and also show a new film Nobody was tomorrow. This film will be also be screened in the Project foyer from DEC 1 - DEC 14.
Mick Wilson (approx 1 hour)
Eclectic Memorabilia: A Lover of Boredom - A presentation on rhetoric, bad faith and learning to be more disciplined. Over a number of years Mick Wilson has been compiling texts which relate to interdisciplinary art practice and research. Combining these texts with peculiar coincidences, Wilson will present a performative lecture which backgrounds his position as both an artist and academic.
Rene Gabri & Ayreen Anastas (approx 20 mins)
The artists Rene Gabri & Ayreen Anastas will open a discussion around their research in Palestine and Israel - and contextualise the artistic means at play in the series What Everybody Knows, the influence of Ilan Pappe and describe their 16 Beaver Group - operating between art and activism with collective projects.
Followed by an open discussion with Bea McMahon, Garrett Phelan and Tessa Giblin, and concluded with a casual reception in the gallery. Peter Galison & Robb Moss will present a lecture at the screening of the full-length film Secrecy with Project Arts Centre in early 2008. Further details to come…
