Artist talk by Jill Magid. While on a research trip, Magid witnessed a mysterious shooting on the steps of the Texas State Capitol by Fausto Cardenas. Nothing is known of Cardenas’s motivations, but his gesture of shooting into the sky on the steps of the capitol, where he knew he would be immediately captured, reads symbolically as both tragic and poetic. Magid connects his action to Faust, an obvious but ultimately fruitful and complex avenue of exploration, as Goethe’s nineteenth-century drama traffics in similar themes of tragedy, psychology, and futility.

Zane Saunders (Australia): The Australia Council for the Arts Coming from a very strong visual arts background, Zane continues exploring and investigating new visual expression. While continuing his broad traditional visual arts output, in painting and printmaking, Zane has courageously explored diverse and challenging mediums of installation, sculpture, media and contemporary performance. This relatively recent [...]

Sobell (USA) pioneered the use of video, computers, and interactivity in art, as well as performance on the Web. Since 1969, when she first used video to document participants' undirected interactions with her sculptures, she investigates the extent to which video enables her to manipulate the relation between time and space, and to create a vortex for human experience, in which the mediated event coincides with public experience, memory, and relationships.

Rashaad Newsome (USA). Rashaad’s videos, performances, sculptures, and photographs interrogate notions of cultural/ social signifiers as well as how they are formed. They also analyze the complexity of the desire for power and acceptance that is formative for those who are placed in a subaltern position. As Rashaad says “I feel that a large part of the process of identification, for one placed in this position, is folded into everyday life. I use things I see in everyday life in order to decipher this complex psychic structure”.

Hung Nguyen Manh is an artist, a self-taught composer and an active participant in the “alternative” art scene in Hanoi.
