Darius Mikšys takes part in the FormContent project
25 June, 2010. Lithuanian artist Darius Mikšys takes part in the project HaVE A LoOk! HAve a LOok!, curated by the project space FormContent (http://formcontent.org/exhibitions/have-look-have-look/) in London East End. It is a physical and mental gathering of sounds, words and objects tackling the dematerialization of art pieces into aural manifestations. Ranging from live events, pre-recorded contributions and curated sessions, the project explores the existing relationship between the physicality of an object and the possibility of its oral transmission.
Darius Mikšys presents at FormContent his performance Lemon energized vampires, "A short revision of things which are lost permanently and revealed unconsciously." (Darius Mikšys)
Through a weekly update of online audio streaming, FormContent maps and experiments with the parameters of an exhibition as a recorded medium. At the same time the space is open to be used by the participants as a listening room, a compendium for the online contributions or as an impromptu collection of objects investigating further the relationship between the presence of a work and its narration.
Guests working on the threshold of art, music and writing have been developing content that will feed the online streaming and can also create a visual layer to the exhibition space available at FormContent through events, performances or temporary sets.
The project manifests itself weekly from May 7th to July 11th 2010 through various interventions confusingly constructing an exhibition existing, through several constituents, in different formats and in different place.
Over 35 international contributors enrich to the project with very diversified ideas that will be declined in a Babel of noise, voices, sounds and stories at FormContent.
25 June, 7.30pm, FormContent, 51-63 Ridley Road, London E8 2NP, www.formcontent.org
