In (Between) Fluxus InFLUXUS 2013 is an action-research-creative-learning project inspired by Gilles Deleuzeʼs concepts of deterritorialization, intensities, fluxus, difference, repetition, “in between”, art and film.

2

For more than a century, artists from all corners of the world have challenged and creatively explored the industrial, commercial and formal conventions that arise to regulate any new moving image. These experiments have encouraged significant shifts in our understanding of the relationships between images, perception, authorship, time, space, and our own corporal presence as viewers.

One could fairly state that artists have used the camera, the film, the screen and the space “in between”.

Artists have used magic lanterns, slide film, super 8, 16 mm and 35mmm film, video on monitors, video on multiple screens, video projected to a spectacular scale on urban buildings and downsized to the smallest of the portable devices.

Artists have produced one-minute films, one-take films several hours in duration and videos streaming infinitely online. One may find cameraless films, hand painted films, films produced according to strict rules, and films that defy every conceivable rule.

Artists have also used the projected image as a mirror, a weapon, an analytical tool in which the virtual and the real unfold into one another with increasing complexity.

Film directors had also explored these

boundaries through an increasing number of installations: Chantal Akerman, Chris Marker, Agnès Varda, Jean-Luc Godard, Atom Egoyan, Lars von Trier and Gus van Sant, among others. However, as stated by Agnés Vardas “(…) the boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid.

It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films”.

InFLUXUS 2013, as an action - research creative - learning project, aims at exploring the importance of artist’s film and video within the broader contexts of art history, and to acknowledge its relevance to cinema, performance, the gallery, the museum, architecture perception, television, the internet and beyond, not to mention its crucial role in dissolving the boundaries between various contemporary art practices. Furthermore, any medium needs to constantly re-invent itself and it’s our deliberate intention to foster a taste for a more experimental use of moving image among the younger generation of students.

Introduction “Art is not communicative, art is not reflexive. Art, science, philosophy are neither contemplative, neither reflexive, nor communicative. They are creative, that's all.” Gilles Deleuze

Placing itself in between cultures and artistic disciplines, InFLUXUS 2013 aims: 1 – to stimulate the young, leading them towards their full creative potential; 2 – to develop intercultural competences and artistic literacy; 3 – to explore relationships between contemporary art, video and cinema; 4 – to produce a creative work.

Modern economy and the contemporary social structure require a constant ability to create and innovate.

In this context, the carrying out of intercultural exchanges constitutes a source of new, creative and original thought that remains largely untapped. Both in China, Macau and Portugal, as well as in several European countries, intercultural competence is still ignored in terms of school and university curricular plans, despite of the existing mobility programs and the fact that those competences are recognized as essential in the professional trajectories of young people in an increasingly globalized world.

Within the scope of its mission as an organization devoted to education operating as a museum without walls, BABEL considers that it is possible to create the conditions for promoting intercultural sharing at a deeper level than the mere mobility of the young.

Therefore, through the educational project InFLUXUS 2013, it proposes to complement university curricula by encouraging the emerging of truly creative people.

What is inFluxus 2013?

InFLUXUS 2013 is action-research-creative-learning project that brings students, artists, curators, scriptwriters and film directors from Beijing, Macau, Lisbon and Porto into a common process of intercultural and creative learning, as a space for experimentation and a laboratory for new ideas.

For 12 days, students will participate in a series of seminars, talks and workshops and will have the opportunity to meet contemporary Portuguese artists, curators, scriptwriters and filmmakers.

In Portugal, students will attend seminars that explore the relation between contemporary art, video and film by curators at the Centre for Modern and Contemporary Art (Gulbenkian Foundation) and Berardo Museum of Contemporary Art (Berardo Foundation). During these seminars, students will learn about the work of international artists, using video and film as their main medium.

Afterwards, students will travel to Porto, where at the School of Arts of the Catholic University, they will assist presentations from the three participating Universities: Porto School of Arts, University of Saint Joseph (Macau) and Beijing Film Academy.

Finally, BABEL will announce the subject for a short movie. In 72 hours students must deliver a short movie about the subject.

The short films will later be presented to other students from participating universities and to the public.

To develop a creative project in such a short period of time, while using a third language and working with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds and different artistic disciplines will be a unique experience in the lives of these young men and women.

As, according to Portuguese neurologist António Damásio, the memory of an event is always proportional to the intensity of the experience, it is hoped that this will be an unforgettable experience for all participants.

The possibility of an annual encounter of students through InFLUXUS remains our main target, so that the experience may be renewed and the dynamics of this gathering remain alive as a space for experimentation and a laboratory for new ideas.

CULTURAL LITERACY The acquisition of cultural literacy, in particular the ability to see and understand the different factors that influence the way in which an individual or a group respond to different cultural environments - has become crucial. To set that process in motion, it is necessary to explore a new mode of looking at the world through an intercultural lens.

The InFLUXUS 2013 project seeks to create “intercultural innovators”, individuals who are highly motivated to play a vital role, tearing down borders and bringing people together regardless of their geographical-cultural origins.

InFLUXUS 2013 acknowledges the creative potential of the intercultural experience, as well as its relevance to the development of a set of different social, emotional and affective competences.

“You know the boundaries between contemporary art and cinema are so rigid.

It's unbelievable. The film critics don't know my artwork and the art world doesn't know my films”. Agnès Varda THE ARTS AND INTERCULTURALISM The arts are a privileged place for the development of interculturalism, as they deal with issues of personal, community, national, as well as global identity. To be interested in what is beyond one’s immediate circumstances, beyond the horizon or any border is at the root of what inspires many young people to wish to pursue a career in the arts, establishing a reflexive and dynamic relationship between “self” and “other”.

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP InFLUXUS 2013 seeks to foster respect and tolerance regarding cultural differences among countries. In that sense, self-centered Chinese or European cultural and educational policies hinder the deepening of Chinese or European identity.

It is necessary to educate the young Chinese and European citizens to the global world while promoting the entering of the young into active life at an international dimension.

CONTEMPORARY ART, CINEMA AND VIDEO Within the scope of the arts, InFLUXUS 2013 proposes an exploration of the different art forms and dialogues between contemporary art, cinema and video.

Considering cinema’s long and complex relationship with other arts, we take it as a starting point.

However we shall also explore the form in which cinema, video and sound seem to find a common ground for dialogue in contemporary art.

Taking into account the growing presence of cinema and video in biennales, museums and art galleries across the world, a series of important surveys and publications have focused on the intersection between cinema, video and contemporary art in recent years.

In one word, our theoretical goal is to carry out the archaeology of those dialogues – emerging from the old relationship between cinema and the other arts (literature, theatre, dancing, painting, music, etc.) – in order to understand the current, contemporary moment, in which these three forms of expressions seem to increasingly merge into each other.

“I try to break the barrier, break the border, and give freedom to film and allow myself to show the painting in the middle�.

Agnès Varda

Constituting itself as a privileged, interstitial place between cultures and artistic disciplines, InFLUXUS 2013 aims at contributing to stimulate the young, leading them towards their full creative potential.

Beside the development of intercultural competences and exploring of relationships between contemporary art, video and cinema, InFLUXUS 2013 has established its objectives as follow:

1. Understanding the Chinese and European identity in relation; 2. Develop skills that prepare young people for a career on a global scale; 3. Develop a structured and sustained cooperation between cultural institutions and organizations in China and Europe; 4. Create a community of young creatives, sensitive to contemporary art, as active, critical and conscious participants; 5. Allow interaction with artists from different cultures in an innovative way;

9

6. Staying at the forefront of non-formal learning programs; 7. Create contemporary heritage resulting from creative work developed by young students and artists; 8. Explore possible methodologies to understand and measure the cultural exchange; 9. Explore new tools for qualitative analysis, to assess the depth of cultural exchange generated; 10. Enhancing international co-productions in the field of cinema and audiovisual, to benefit the cinema industry form China, Macau and Portugal.

Stan Brakhage, Mothlight (1963)

Screenings InFLUXUS 2013 offer the students the opportunity to screen and exhibit their short movies for a larger audience. During October and November the works produced while in transit between Beijing, Macau, Lisbon and Porto will be in display in all the four cities involved in the project.

In order to transform InFLUXUS 2013 in an experience with a future, an informal cyber-sharing platform will be created enabling participants to continue the sharing of creative projects both at the individual and the institutional level. After few editions of InFLUXUS, the possibility of editing a DVD that includes all films created by the students will be considered.

Educational Philosophy BABEL promotes methodologies different from those practiced in schools or universities. The open nature of our methodological processes will lead to a reflective and self-directed learning. It is in this sense that BABEL develops programs through effective partnerships between Museums and Universities, which we hope to be mutually profitable and ideally characterized as collaborative.

Priorities for BABEL are the role of the artists and curators in education, the transmission of ethical youth work, sustainability, the importance of identity, the promotion of museums as learning spaces for interculturalism, citizenship and critical thinking.

David Hall, TV Interruption (1971)
