David Michalek´s <em>Portraits in Dramatic Time</em> project. <span class="Apple-style-span">The music is <em>Mind Heist</em> by Zack Hemsey.</span></p> <p><a href="http://www.davidmichalek.net" target="_blank">davidmichalek.net</a>: The new work from artist David Michalek was presented as part of the 2011 Lincoln Center Festival. This piece was a follow-up to Slow Dancing, which premiered at the 2007 Lincoln Center Festival, and featured a series of 45 larger-than-life, hyper-slow-motion video portraits of dancers and choreographers from around the world: <a href="http://slowdancingfilms.com/" target="_blank">slowdancingfilms.com</a></p> <p>The project featured an array of glacially paced performances of theater artists and actors all genres and nationalities. With artists featured both singly and in groups, the piece offered a unique and secret glimpse into some of the world’s greatest performing artists. Just as Slow Dancing featured a democratically varied list of artists and dance styles (from Krumping to Kuchipuri), so too, did this work seek to express the same level of variety. The work strived to present viewers with an eclectic list of artists both well-known and under-recognized.</p> <p>Each scene-sequence of drama was crafted to provide a physical metaphor for an emotional condition. This was created through various means—determinants (the problem, plot, theme, or context of the characters and their circumstances), consequences (deliberate manifestations of feeling as gestures and expressions), moods (induced in the character and filling the scene), and involuntary emotions (internal emotional states).</p> <p>Update: Unfortunately the video on Vimeo/David Michalek´s website plays no sound anymore (?). Without sound it´s just half the fun.</p>http://blog.alexmainz.com/post/23170532269http://blog.alexmainz.com/post/23170532269Wed, 16 May 2012 18:54:00 +0200David MichalekartfilmfilmartfilmmakerAlan Rickmanconceptual<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m41aqqKawa1qa2rf3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>New York Photography 1890-1950. <a href="http://www.buceriuskunstforum.de/" target="_blank">Bucerius Kunst Forum</a>, Hamburg.</p>http://blog.alexmainz.com/post/23160022622http://blog.alexmainz.com/post/23160022622Wed, 16 May 2012 12:47:51 +0200exhibitionausstellunghamburglocalphotographynew yorkvintage<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m419duRB4L1rveotlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://artbuyersarepeopletoo.tumblr.com/post/23061331936/its-always-interesting-to-see-what-promos-each" target="_blank">artbuyersarepeopletoo</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>It’s always interesting to see what promos each person is drawn to…</p> </blockquote> <p>That reminds me to finish my own promo I started working on a few weeks ago… Won´t be any card or photo, ha!</p>http://blog.alexmainz.com/post/23098500578http://blog.alexmainz.com/post/23098500578Tue, 15 May 2012 13:06:11 +0200photographypromosart buyingart buyer Makes me think of someone I met long time ago.
