Event overview
Part of the Thursday Club season
A meta-linguistic performative experiment.
Key questions:
1. In my video live installations I investigate the perception of time (psychological time ), non simultaneous artist and audience interchange in liveness, and the production of the video document. Live recording, pre-recording and their transmission, as overlapping layers of representation of time, unfold in duration.
2. I am now starting to contextualising the recent work, which I believe challenges the early Bergsonian differentiation between memory and perception based on the assumption that the former is linked to the past (representation) and the latter to the present (action) (as in latest Deleuzean scholar Guerlac's book).
3. I also contribute to the debate on performance documentation in parallel to recent Auslander's publication : embedding the document (eg video recording) in the event allows audience to witness its very production, thus emphasising the document's 'performativity' aspect.
ELENA COLOGNI is an art practitioner. Currently Research Fellow at York St John University, her PhD 'The Artist's Performative Practice Within The Anti-Oculatcentric Discourse' is from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (CSM), London. After the post-doc AHRC and CSM awarded project 'Present Memory and Liveness in delivery and reception of video documentation during performance art events', she was at Glasgow Centre for Contemporary Arts for a Creative Lab residency focusing on questions of migrations, remoteness and transmission of information over time and space. She is active in the debate on practice as research methodologies, as well as the relationship between performance and new media. Her artwork has been presented internationally.
