Speaker:

Banksy, UK Graffiti Artist – Bio

Banksy, a European Graffiti Artist whose art can be seen on walls and galleries worldwide, presented his movie “Exit Through the Gift Shop” at festivals in Britain and the US earlier this year. Now he’s presenting his documentary in Vienna at the Viennale film festival. If you don’t know the artist or his incredible work, visit his website www.banksy.co.uk!

About the Movie “Exit Through the Gift Shop”:

In the late 1990s, a hybrid form of graffiti began appearing in cities around the world. Enlisting stickers, stencils, posters, and sculpture and spread by the burgeoning Internet, it would be labeled “street art” and establish itself as the most significant counterculture movement of a generation. Los Angeles–based filmmaker Terry Guetta set out to record this secretive world in all its thrilling detail. For more than eight years, he traveled with the pack, roaming the streets of America and Europe, the stealthy witness of the world’s most infamous vandals. But after meeting the British stencil artist known only as “Banksy,” things took a bizarre turn. (sundance.bside.com)

The Arts provide us with a new perspective on space and identity. Sally Jane Norman shows some fresh and inspiring pieces of art, which relate to European space activities. There is extraterrestrial art like figures moved by Russian cosmonauts in space and there are earthbased installations like the sonification of solar natural radio. In addition to that, Norman presents some European art institutions, dealing specifically with space in the arts for decades.

Literature: Zero Gravity Art by Daniel Canogar / Sally Jane Norman:

[amazonshowcase_cf3fa0d9a7b65b3b08ebbe75aafb9aef]

Daniel Canogar (born Madrid 1964) lives and works in Madrid. He studied visual communications and received his Master’s in photography from New York University and the International Centre for Photography in 1990. Daniel Canogar’s work has long dwelt on issues of immersion and realism, of corporeal images and sensations, of light instrumentalized to reveal figments and traces of visual matter. His consistent use of photography undermines and transcends simple questions of photographic realism, through play with variable scales, obsessive pseudo-repetition and disconcerting projection procedures and surfaces.
