4-6 June 2009

Video exhibition at Territorios Digitales festival, Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art, Sevilla, Spain.
InterMerz is an on- and off-line exhibition for video work.

InterMerz is an ongoing curatorial experiment, reconsidering exhibition formats for single-screen-based video. It is a travelling exhibition with a highly variable form, always adapting itself to its hosting environment.

Its behavior is inspired by the ‘pop-up’, looking for empty spots within a predefined frame (festival, museum, party, public space…). But its aim is not to merge. Essentially grounded in relational aesthetics, InterMerz can never be isolated. There is no possibility for a solo-show. The ‘exhibition’ always needs a host as setting, to which it can and will contrast through its ever mutating form and content.

Browsing is curating

InterMerz is not only a physical exhibition but also a database, a digital platform. It explicitly denies the conventional borders between the artist and the public, the specialist and the amateur. In the ‘age of the user’ where video has become the global vernacular through online platforms, browsing has become a form of curating.

The curating process is open

For InterMerz, both artists and the wider public are invited to upload their video-work to the database. Next to that, and in the idea of ‘browsing is curating’ and ‘senders receive’ we also challenge everyone to send us their series of online video, i.e. to add a series of favorite online videos which generate beauty or meaning through their interrelation.
