InterMerz at LEV festival
1 May 2009
InterMerz is an ongoing curatorial experiment, reconsidering exhibition formats for single-screen-based video. Its behaviour is inspired by the ‘pop-up’, looking for empty spots within a predefined one, as the Laboratory for Electronics and Visuals (LEV).
But its aim is not to merge. Essentially grounded in relational aesthetics, InterMerz can never be isolated. There is no solo-show possible. The ‘exhibition’ always needs a host as setting, to which it can and will contrast through its ever mutating form and content…
A selection of 7 outstanding video-works shown on 7 plasma screens placed in the the central area of the Museum for Contemporary Art in Gijon (Spain). In-between the videos, some short clips of footage found on YouTube.
