Video program Corporate World and Public/Transport

FRIDAY, July 1, 2005, 8 p.m.
corporate world
videos by Daniel Pflumm (D/CH)
Curated by Inke Arns (Hartware, Dortmund)
Hartware MedienKunstVerein in the PHOENIX Halle Dortmund
Duration: 97 min.

Daniel Pflumm (CH/D, *1968) operates with the beautiful veneer of glossy surfaces: He removes logos and advertising clips from their context, dissects them into their structural elements - he eliminates all text or rasterises it until it become unrecognizable -, and creates with them endless video loops of an almost unbearable fast pace.
His videos thus reconstruct the corporate world to form new (anti-) narratives. The programme collects the most important video works by Daniel Pflumm which have been created between 1998 and 2004. In the show, three works by Daniel Pflumm are exhibited (among them: "Paris", 2004, 24 min.).

SATURDAY, July 2, 2005, 8 p.m.
Public/Transport
Videos by Dariusz Krzeczek (PL/AT)
and Harun Farocki (D)
Curated by Inke Arns (Hartware, Dortmund)
Hartware MedienKunstVerein in the PHOENIX Halle Dortmund
Duration: 99 min.

This programme creates a dialogue between videos by the young Polish media artist Dariusz Krzeczek (*1971, PL/AT) - who is participating in the exhibition in the PHOENIX Halle - and a film by Harun Farocki (D). In their videos and films, both artists are dealing with urban space and networks of surveillance and control present in this space. However, while in “Die Schöpfer der Einkaufswelten" (2001, "The Creators of Shopping Worlds") Farocki designates these - mostly commercially driven - structures explicitely, Krzeczek researches theses structures in rather abstract images.
