Doors for live performance 8pm, limited capacity
Cell Project Space presents Method 3/Nina 900, a screening and live performance featuring a new collaborative video work by Catherine Österberg and Jacques Rogers. The video, edited ‘behind the scenes’ footage from The Richest Man in Babylon, Nina Cristante’s debut film currently on show at the gallery, offers a glimpse into the production process of this project. The screening will be accompanied by live music performed by the band The Place.
The video begins with a trip to rural Mallorca, coinciding with Cristante’s initial invitation to document her forthcoming film, with the video ending at a The Brian Jonestown Massacre concert. This timeline of seemingly disparate materials synthesises as a new cultural product that is at once ambient, candid and oblique in its free-associative references to the social, contextual and structural realities that mark the conditions of its production and transmission. Shot on Mini-DV tapes, shown at 900% speed, and in response to Cristante’s exhibition, this work continues a series of collaborative video works, images and exhibitions that centre around the vicarious documentation of professional and social networks where the editing strategy tends towards surface concerns.
Doors open at 8pm for the live performance, with the video screening throughout the day. For more details on access, or any specific requirements, please contact Annabelle Mödlinger, annabelle [at] cellprojects.org.
