For the 2024 edition of LOOP Festival Barcelona, Robert Wilson’s Video Portrait of Gao Xingjian (HF Video, 2005), writer and 2000 Nobel Laureate in Literature, enters a visual dialogue with a work by Xingjian himself, “Lumière” (Ink on canvas, 2015). Complemented by Wilson’s “Messiah” drawings (Charcoal on paper, 2020), the exhibition at galeria SENDA invites the viewer to an experience of slow and reflective contemplation. In a world of rapid stimuli and fleeting images, it forces us to stop, to feel each small gesture, to observe and to appreciate the power of subtlety in art.
With William Kentridge at the LICHTSICHT biennial in Bad Rothenfelde
Last night a selection of my video portraits was projected on a giant, impressive 400-meter long wall of a former salina in Bad Rothenfelde, Germany. This is part of the lichtsicht biennial, curated by the one and only Peter Weibel. One of my fellow artists in the selection there was William Kentridge, and we had a fun conversation over dinner. The projection biennial, which includes many more wonderful artists is up until February next year.
Lecture Video from Bratislava, Slovakia
Here is a great video that was presented at the lecture I gave last week in Bratislava.
A short invitation to Robert Wilson's exhibition brought to the Slovak National Gallery (SNG) in Bratislava. This video was shot at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France by Jakub Jahn.
