2010*


IMPACT is an interdisciplinary symposium that invites artists,
practitioners, theoreticians and advanced students in the fields of dance,
theatre, performance, visual arts, new media and film to engage critically
with the artistic strategies and working methods of progressive guest
artists, to test their approaches in practice and to question them with
reference to their own background.

This year, in the 9th edition of IMPACT, an interactive symposium in 3
episodes in 3 days with 3 artists will be enrolled. Intense encounters with
Walid Raad (LB/US), Kris Verdonck (BE) und Vlatka Horvat (HR/US/UK) who,
with their jarring and playful works, put the way we see, experience and
evaluate to the test.  Whether working with subtle participative elements,
time-delays or multilayered framing devices, they constantly and knowingly
create opportunities to get lost in translations. New spaces emerge that
might well result in a different structure of storytelling, a different
view of what appears to be real, another form of actions. Walid Raad’s
photographs, installations and documentary texts confront the observer with
questions about truth, construction and understanding of history; Kris
Verdonck, in his installations and performances anchored somewhere between
dance and architecture, debates the relationship between man and machine in
today’s high-tech world; and Vlatka Horvat queries the everyday application
of things with help from simple aggravations in her poetic sculptures and
performances, and so provokes universal thoughts about the world and
existence itself.


*SYMPOSIUM EPISODE 1 : Friday October 11, 2013
Walid Raad (Lb/Us)*

Walid Raad is an artist and an Associate Professor of Art in The Cooper
Union (New York). Raad’s works include ›The Atlas Group (1989–2004)‹,
›Scratching on Things I Could Disavow‹ and ›Sweet Talk: Commissions
(Beirut)‹. His books include ›The Truth Will Be Known When The Last Witness
Is Dead‹, ›My Neck Is Thinner Than A Hair‹, ›Let’s Be Honest‹ and ›The
Weather Helped‹. With his ongoing project, ›The Atlas Group (1989–2004)‹
Raad concentrates on histories, forms, experiences and gestures made
possible by the Lebanese wars of the past few decades. With ›Scratching on
Things I Could Disavow‹, Raad focuses on the recent emergence of large new
infrastructures for the visual arts in the Arab world. These developments,
when viewed alongside the geo-political, economic, social and military
conflicts that consumed the region in the past few decades, shape a rich
yet thorny ground for creative work. The artworks and stories Raad presents
with this project are based on encounters on this ground with individuals,
institutions, economies, concepts and forms. Raad’s works have been shown
in the Louvre (Paris), Documenta 11 and 13 (Kassel), Kunsthalle Zurich, The
Whitechapel Art Gallery (London), Festival d’Automne (Paris),
Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), The Venice Biennale, The Hamburger
Bahnhof (Berlin), Homeworks (Beirut) and numerous other museums and venues
in Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Raad is also the recipient of
the Hasselblad Award (2011), a Guggenheim Fellowship (2009), the Alpert
Award in Visual Arts (2007), the Deutsche Börse Photo­graphy Prize (2007)
and the Camera Austria Award (2005).

In his workshop Walid Raad will discuss in detail the formal, critical,
historical and technical considerations that shape his various art
projects.

*SYMPOSIUM EPISODE 2 : Saturday October 12, 2013
Kris Verdonck (be)*

Kris Verdonck studied visual arts, architecture and theatre. As a theatre
maker and visual artist, he has created a variety of productions and
installations including ›Catching Whales Is Easy‹ (2004) and
›I/II/III/IIII‹ (2007). In 2008 he premiered ›END‹ at the
Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels) and presented ›VARIATION IV‹ at the
Festival d’Avignon. In 2010 he premiered ›K, a Society‹ in Essen during the
Theater der Welt Festival and, in 2011, presented two research projects:
›TALK‹ which sets out to explore language and ›EXIT‹ in collaboration with
Alix Eynaudi, looking at theatre as a medium. ›EXIT‹ will be presented
during IMPACT13. In 2011, his first solo exhibition was held at House for
Contemporary Art z33 (Hasselt). ›H, an incident‹ premiered during the
Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels) in May 2013. Verdonck’s works juxtapose
the reproductive capability with the here and now of a live performance.
Other recurring elements in his work are the relationship between man and
machine in our high-tech world and the uncertainty brought about by man’s
desire for absolute control over things. Verdonck raises the question of
the growing impact of technical developments on our daily lives.

In his workshop, illustrated with images and videos, Kris Verdonck will
talk about his past, current and future projects. At the heart of his work
lies the relationship between man and machine in our high-tech world. Based
on the text ›Escapement‹ from J.G. Ballard, the participants will learn
about his working methods in a practical way.

*SYMPOSIUM EPISODE 3 : Sunday October 13, 2013
Vlatka Horvat (hr/us/uk)*

Vlatka Horvat works across a wide range of media, such as sculpture,
installation, drawing, performance, photography and text. Her work stages
encounters between a person and a set of objects, elements of space, rules
and systems, often enacting interventions upon physical space and the
elements of the built environment using cheap ubiquitous materials, such as
cardboard or string, as well as found objects, detritus of urban life and
leftovers of her own work processes. Using simple gestures of dismantling
and repairing, mirroring and multiplying, folding and layering, Horvat’s
projects focus on re-drawing borders and frames, re-imagining or
reconfiguring physical objects, space and social relations. She has had
solo exhibitions at the Boston University Art Gallery, Rachel Uffner
Gallery (New York), Zak|Branicka (Berlin), Bergen Kunsthall and the Kitchen
(New York), amongst others. Horvat’s recent projects include installations
for the ›Greater New York‹ at MoMA PS1 (New York), October Salon (Belgrade)
and the 11th Istanbul Biennale. Her performances were shown at PACT
Zollverein Essen, Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), Tanzquartier Wien,
Outpost for Contemporary Art (Los Angeles) and at various festivals.

Drawing on her work in sculpture, installation, performance and works on
paper, Vlatka Horvat’s workshop will explore operating principles related
to space and objects. Through a combination of practical tasks,
mini-assignments and discussion, the workshop will investigate a range of
questions about how physical space is constituted and inhabited, how the
body fits into, pushes against and relates to its built environment and its
context, and explore how spatial relations between objects and bodies
within a delineated space can be probed, opened up, reordered,
reconfigured, or re-imagined.

*Applications can be sent in till the 6th of September, limited number of
35 participants*.
