ARTISTS TALK – Barak Reiser
1pm – 2pm
Wednesday 25th January 2012
Venue : Golden Thread Gallery
ABOUT THE TALK
Barak Reiser is guest artist at the Flaxarts studios this winter.
During his talk he will introduce his last two exhibitions from Nov. 2011, „Charades and Shades“ shown at the Museum House Vlaho Bukovac in Cavtat, Croatia, and See Throughs” / “Underground Scene”,at AtelierFrankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, which are collaborative works with architect Anton Savov.
Memorizing, memory, regarding places and things are the main questions his current work in Belfast deals with. The researcher’s aim is to try to see the extent to which a person can see every image, as well as every detail of information as far as the limits of abstractions is concerned. Seeing, remembering, watching until the point when one sees nothing. The artist will talk about these ideas, and will show previous works, which correlate to his current work in Belfast.
