A lecture by Jenna Sutela and a video screening by Martin Kohout is taking place at Gothenburg’s Landsarkivet in Sweden on December 1.

As part of the Communicating the Archive: Inscription lecture series, curated by Gluey-c,  Sutela’s Skype talk ‘The Hum of Machines, Chumma, Chumma, Chumma’, explores similarities between biological viruses and the human language; as ones that alter or mutate by themselves (or by other).

A screening of Kohout’s ‘Sjezd‘ (2014) video will follow, featuring the violent sound of friction between technology and nature.

Amalia Ulman + Monira Al Qadiri @ Landsarkivet, Nov 17

17 November 2015

Amalia Ulman and Monira Al Qadiri are taking part in a respective screening and Skype talk at Gothenburg’s Landsarkivet in Sweden on November 17.

As part of the Communicating the Archive: Inscription lecture series, curated by Gluey-c,  the two sessions will show Al Qadiri’s ‘Behind the Sun’ (2013) and Ulman’s ‘The Annals of Private History’ (2015), that first screened at Frieze London 2015 through Skype.

The fictionalised history of the diary presented by the latter LA-based artist follows a narrative of a girl’s private space to speak within an oppressive and repressive gendered history, while the Senegal-born Al Qadiri presents the hellish representation of Kuwait’s oil fields following the first Gulf War.
