The First Moment of Marwa El Sherbini, by Noa Gur

An activist video work and performance by Noa Gur, 2019. Performed by Xica Lisboa, Pauline Payen, Daniel Adams, K-ske sugawara, Sebastian Rein, Alexey Trubarov, Irina Demina, Zihern Lee

The piece relates to a hate crime which took place in a German courtroom in 2009: The killing of a young woman, who was murdered with eighteen stab wounds during a trial in which she testified on racist insults directed at her in 2008 by her eventual killer. During the sudden attack, el-Sherbini’s husband pushed himself between the attacker and Marwa to protect her and, as a result, suffered sixteen wounds. He eventually collapsed when a policemen shot his knee, having mistaken him for the killer. These disturbing occurrences pose urgent questions, which remain to a large extent unresolved, as the family’s lawsuit against that Dresden court has been rejected three times.

In this work, the trial that led to the murder is staged through the use of data from police files, and is presented in reverse order in public space.
On the one hand, the piece is an investigation on the questions raised by this incident: namely, how could such a thing occur in the public sphere, in an official building. On the other hand, it is a challenging choreographic task, in which dancers examine the course of events in physical-spatial dimensions while searching for truth. The time axis is reversed and the action is staged backwards to arrive at the beginning of the trial.

Performed on the 1st of July 2019 for the 10 years commemoration in front of teh German Kanzleramt. A10 minutes long performance followed by a short talk by activist prof. Sabine Schiffer.

Performers: Xica Lisboa, Pauline Payen, Daniel Adams, K-ske sugawara, Sebastian Rein, Alexey Trubarov, Irina Demina, Zihern Lee.

Director: Noa Gur

Assistant: Pauline Payen

The project has been supported by Berlin senate research Stipend, Ostrovsky foundation (N.Y, US), Artport Alumni grants and National Lottery Cultural Funds (IL).

During the vernissage, art visitors and human artists exchanged words and sounds in the Spacheship that turned out to be a recording device.

THE WAY OBJECTS GO Group Show @ Cultural center BELGRADE

The Way Objects Go
7-27 July 2017
Podroom gallery, Cultural Center Belgrade

 

The exhibition explores – through the medium of moving images – the different links that human beings build up with objects in the beginning of the 21th century.
The invited artists question the new realities of the object in times of dematerialized transactions and porous limits between fiction and reality, materiality and virtuality. The artworks aim to symetrically think on how objects influence the definition of our individual and collective identity.

“The majority of gallery visitors are art enthusiasts, casual visitors and vernissage guests – in other words nice-to-have visitors – and collectors and art professionals form only the minority” of the public. (M. Resch, Management of art galleries, 2015)

According to the report of GmbH 2017, more than 70% of the exhibition visitors are less interested in the presented artworks and their concepts or in an exchange with artists than in the probability to meet curators and gallerists that can push their career; not to mention the possibility of getting cheap drinks.

These facts make us, curators, think twice about which artists and works to present in a proper conceptual direction, in order to create a meaningful and coherent group exhibition.

The serious question we might ask now is what makes an exhibition more meaningful than another? According to which criteria should an art show be evaluated? The numbers of visitors? The profit of the sales of drinks at the bar and of artworks? The feedbacks from art critics and audience? The smile on the curators’ faces?

In the group show “keywords_required” we propose to artists, art lovers, collectors and nice-to-have visitors to question what motivations lead the public here and what information they receive. To evaluate the meaningfulness of the exhibition, we selected a list of conceptual keywords that permitted us to set up a sample of artists who are likely to reuse and reinterpret them, to find out if these are transmitted to the public.

Extract of the german version of the text, written on the computer whilst read in english and said in french:

 »
Ich werde über ien problem sprechen. Ich würde genre über ein wunsch sprechen.
Ich würde gerene in deine augen gucken für imm
meine augen in deine für immer versteken dass heisst: in deine piulpillen
die abbyssen sind .
Dise undenlich andersartigkeit bewundern
du ich millairden face millaidern reflectkionnen
ein einmziger puls
ich möchte in die Ewigkeit und ihre absolute ruhe eintauchen.

Ja aber siehe da: für Blich man braucht zwei augen
dass heiist 1+1=3
wenn ich versuche meine augen an das wunderschöneschöne bild die seele
und exywigkeit das ist keins puls mehr nur noch lästig

ich kann nciht in deine linke auge recht und link gleichtig.
Ich kann nur naviguer von recht bois link s und liknks rechts
oder ich ich dsollte eine seite wählen
ich will kein seite wählen

mein absolut ist ruiniert von mechanichs sichtebar
ich stopleere du stopelrst wir sind blockiert. Und blockiert reizt  »
