The third ‘Articulations’ event closed the summer season

On 30 August, Rupert and Autarkia invited to welcome the new season during the third event of the Articulations cycle as well as to continue conversations about art with Rupert’s resident artists.

In the bright space of Medūza, audio-visual stories were steeped in the intimate experiences of their creators. The third event of Articulations was about rethinking, the continuation of artistic works and the artists’ progress after coming to Vilnius.

THIS EVENT FEATURED

Curator AMY WATSON (ZA):

As an independent curator, Amy outlined her recently curated projects, including the ongoing cross-disciplinary research project The Orange River Project (2022–), the research about the whale’s tympanic bone as an orienting talisman traces the oceanic histories of whaling and the colonial project, exploring how these histories are produced in more-than-human relations.

Artist marc norbert hörler (DE/CH):

marc’s practice encompasses poetry, song, fragrance, writing, performance, curating and publishing. An artist introduced hecatean lines, a composition of new works that interact with alpine folkloristic forms and aesthetics from a queer perspective, based on a continuous research on witchcraft in Appenzell.

Artist-filmmakers Monika Uchiyama and Fred Schmidt-Arenales (US/JP):

As a filmmakers duo are working on their first collaboration. At the event they present a rough cut of their in-progress feature-length film Counting Seventeen. The film focuses on the 2021 periodic cicada emergence in the eastern United States. In the film, cicadas function as metaphors for the unconscious, an imagined construction of new human social structures, the fear of ego death and much more.
