Mark Aerial Waller - info/links

Approaching Mark Aerial Waller’s work is like unexpectedly entering the Babel library described by Borges, or falling down Alice’s rabbit–hole as Lewis Carroll told it: a deep, undetermined space laden with references, where the strange shakes us, awakens us from the dream of “normality”, giving way to a curiosity that claims to abandon our passive–receiving attitude, the voyeur comfort, to delve into the conscious research of the multiple constellations that connect his work to our reality. Then we regain the ability to extract our own memories and knowledge, stimulating the playful sense of breaking down those codes to be discovered.

Waller’s work is loaded with aesthetic sense, literary, scientific and philosophical references, nods to the history of art and pop culture, with irreverent twists that question artistic conventions and the cinematic medium. Waller takes on the languages of film, television, installation and performance by expanding the work beyond the screen. It is about opening the way to the possible, claiming the importance of the viewer within the work of art, questioning the artistic canon, the film medium and our attitude as spectators to life. As Augusto Boal argued: The viewer must be freed from his status as a spectator, then he can get rid of other oppressions (1977).

Owen Land 'I Grog and its Alternatives' (2003) index card 186 (obverse) of 186 cards

Owen Land, AKA George Landow (1944-2011) was an experimental filmmaker, photographer, painter and writer. He was a significant pioneer of artist film who developed an oeuvre that shifted relationships between audience, subject and screen. His work has been important to Giles Deleuze in his seminar on cinema : The Movement Image and key to an understanding of the interaction of avantgarde film and conceptual art practices. In 2003 Land sent Lux artists' film a collection of index cards, entitled “I Grog and its alternatives”(2003). Little information was supplied with it, save for an annotated transcription of the index cards, but there was a sense, or perhaps a conversation, that these cards were a film script. Land admitted that his scripts resisted interpretation. The 186 cards, each written in neat letter forms, hold a humorous piece of literature with connection to historical events and people, etymology, religion, rock and roll, painting and avant garde filmmakers, but seen as a system, they reveal a possible fragmented story.

Waller is creating a film in relation to the script of 186 jokes to build a proto cinematic event.

An event featuring cinematic elements of Duelle by Jacques Rivette (1976), Rabbit’s Moon by Kenneth Anger (1950/72). A classic French feature film is revisited in expanded form, its fictional spaces & its music spilling out onto Daedalus street, from cinema into bar, gallery and dancehall. A live band of street musician, concert piannist and avant garde percussion playing Satie inspired music, we drank from the claws and dogs, a concoction made from bitter oranges of the athens streets...The dogs, wolves and claws were all constituents of the moon tarot card.

"My dear friend, after we ran through the dead of night together, after that film finished, I remembered you saying “I feel myself becoming space, dark space, where things cannot be put.” Let’s go there again, to the Rhumba. We can drink from wolves, dogs and lobsters, dance under the fractured moonlight for awhile, dawnless and alive."

Space Pursues Them...has been developed in collaboration with Daedalus Street from a previous incarnation at Kunsthall Oslo.

elements of Duelle by Jacques Rivette (1976) and Rabbit’s Moon by Kenneth Anger (1950/72). A classic French feature film is revisited in expanded form, its fictional spaces spilling out into Kunsthall Oslo, blurring the boundaries between cinema, gallery and dancehall. My dear friend, Your light footfalls at yesterday’s dance reminded me to ask; perhaps we could inhabit the glow at the end of cinema, even briefly, at the Rhumba, with Jacques Rivette and Kenneth Anger? The spirits can encroach upon and transform reality there, and we can enjoy a drink, and dance again.

A confluence of taste, memory, touch and video is put into action in this new arrangement between Latham's rarely seen Fragments and NOIT Intercouses and Waller's interdisciplinary practice of fractured time.

The Mille Feuilles sits on the plate, complete and parallel, each layer filled with action, memory and expectation. A fork presses down on its upper surface. The confectioners cream bulges sideways. What was once glue becomes lubricant as the thousand pages start to slide like tectonic plates over one another.

LUX and Cranford Collection would like to extend special thanks to Judith Carlton, Director CGP London and the whole gallery team.

DIAL-A-RIDE
A daily film in 3 parts :
FRIDAY 14th, SATURDAY 15th & SUNDAY 17th November 2014

Dial-A-Ride Episode 1: Friday 14 November, 8.15-8.45pm
Dial-A-Ride Episode 2: Saturday 15 November, 8-8.30pm
Dial-A-Ride Episode 3: Sunday 16 November, 6.30-7pm

Dial-A-Ride is a live science fiction/mystery film made daily in and around the Hayward Gallery's Mirrorcity exhibition, edited each afternoon, then shown at Hayward and streamed online each evening.

Two women (actors, Monika Bičiunaitė & Smiltė Bagdžiūnė), members of secret community, arrive from Eastern Europe to reach their London contact (artist, Douglas Park). He is able to join missing links to complete their mission, but can he be trusted?

The scripted scenarios meet headlong with documentary events, to make a film open to chance and outside influence, from the river's tidal flow to the presence of South Bank Centre visitors. Waller's film sits within the genre of science fiction/espionage but shares a sensibility with the mysteriously oblique French new-wave films of Jacques Rivette or the writing of Adolfo Bioy Casares and Philip K Dick.

"Waller's work then, in its conjunctions of past and present, might be a model of nonlinear time that allows for the influence of mysterious ambient forces on humanity; that puts faith at once in science and magic."
Martin Herbert, Art review Dec'12

Mark Aerial Waller, Midwatch, 1999/2001, infra red, sound, 7 min. Starring Mark E Smith and Steve Evets.

Feb 27, 2014 6:20 PM

This screening presents a selection of films by artists who explore theatricality and the non-realist, internal, metaphysical, visionary processes of the mind. It is a rare chance to see a well considered comination of works spanning a period of 70 years. Works by Humphry Jennings, Len Lye, Jayne Parker, Bernard Penrose & Dora Carrington, Jeff Keen, Bruce Lacey & Jill Bruce and Mark Aerial Waller.

Midwatch presents Mark E Smith (The Fall) & Steve Evets (Pirates of the Carribbean, Looking for Eric, Robin Hood) as characters who descend into a vertiginous battle of wills aboard a ship returning from the first British nuclear tests off Western Australia. The ship's caterer (Smith) casts a language of poetryover the military-technological language of a mutineer(Evets), who has entered the galley looking for biscuits. Meanwhile the sound of deformed crewmen waddle across the decks above their heads. Adapted from interviews with British Nuclear Veterans.

14-os dalių filmo „Laikas kartu“ istorija vyksta patraukliame vasariškos Lietuvos fone, kur pasiklydusi moteris (Smiltė Bagdžiūnė) susidraugauja su nepažįstamąja (Monika Bičiunaitė), vedančia ją per eilę ritualinių patirčių, formuojančių kultą ar politinę grupuotę. Pasakojimas pilnas paslapčių, o keisti, dėmesį prikaustantys siužeto vingiai verčia žiūrovo mintis klajoti ieškant atsakymų. Saviti Marko Aerialio Wallerio filmai tarsi sukuria kitą dimensiją, susiejančią juos su moksline fantastika ir mįslingais Adolfo Bioy Casareso ar Philipo K. Dicko tekstais.

Apie režisierių:
Mark Aerial Waller yra Londone gyvenantis ir kuriantis menininkas. Jis kuria videofilmus, skulptūras ir situacijas, savo darbuose aprėpdamas platų temų ratą nuo biocheminių mechanizmų, kurie nulemia mūsų socialinius santykius sąveikas, iki branduolinio sektoriaus darbuotojų Jungtinėje Karalystėje. Savo meninę praktiką jis papildo tiriamuoju organu „Savivalės kanonas“ – įvykių-intervencijų į kino praktikas platforma, kur kitų menininkų videokūriniai ar komerciniai filmai pristatomi remiantis specialiai sukurtais scenarijais ir socialinėmis interakcijomis.

Douglasism Festival addresses relationships between art and society,through the paradigm shifting interdisciplinary and socially active works of Douglas Park and the artists with whom he has been associated, actively participated or collaborated for over 20 years. Douglas Park is a polyvalent artist, actor, narrator, writer, curator. in his own words:

“Born in 1972, UK based, internationally active and exposed visual artist, writer (of literary prose and critical essays,
both mostly art connected), exhibition curator, as well as all practices and roles combined.”

Time Together, a film in 14 episodes, is set against the luscious backdrop of summertime Lithuania, where a lost woman (Smiltė Bagdžiūnė) is befriended by a stranger (Monika Bičiunaitė) and lead through a series of ritual exercises towards the formation of a cult or political cell. The story is deeply mysterious, yet the strangely compelling scenarios, each with a cliffhanger, leave the mind racing. What-if’s on a cosmological scale. Mark Aerial Waller’s unique films almost come from another dimension, from a position shared with the science fiction and mystery writing of Adolfo Bioy Casares or Philip K Dick.

SCREENING FRIDAY AUGUST 23, 8 PM
PRECEDED BY TALK AT 7 PM WITH ARAM MOSHAYEDI CURATOR,
HAMMER MUSEUM, LOS ANGELES, CA

panel discussion with kodwo eshun, liam sprod and mark aerial waller, chaired by artist Susan Kelly

Mark Aerial Waller / Isao Hashimoto / Sandra Lahire / Otolith Group / Eva & Franco Mattes / Chris Oakley / Yelena Popova

A programme of artists’ films investigating nuclear culture from the perspective of the 21st Century reflecting on 1980s feminist experimental film and activism, gritty dramatic satire of the 1990s, and recent video-essay works from 2009 – 2012. Artists narrate their own experience of nuclear environments in Britain, the Urals, Estonia, Ukraine, Japan and Canada, traveling back home or to sites of disaster to try and capture the invisible or the unimaginable. Investigating the aesthetic implications of radiation reveals the impossibility of capturing an energy that bleaches the images from film and erases the hard drives of digital devices.

The day includes a roundtable discussion on nuclear critique from nuclear entropy, utopian and dystopian belief systems, questioning scientific certainty, political agency and the proliferation of nuclear culture. Including artists Kodwo Eshun (Otolith Group) and Mark Aerial Waller in conversation with philosopher Liam Sprod, chaired by artist Susan Kelly.

Curated by Ele Carpenter with students from MFA Curating, Goldsmiths College, University of London.

The Espai Cultural Caja Madrid is delighted to present Desire Lines, an exhibition that gathers works by twelve international artists that – through video installation, drawing, photography and performance– propose alternative ways of navigating the urban landscapes, by integrating poetics, playfulness, irrationality, oneirism and disruption into our experience of the city.

AT JERWOOD VISUAL ARTS, within "NOW I GOTTA REASON", a Jerwood Encounters exhibition co-curated by Marcus Coates and Grizedale Arts that focuses on art production as a useful and productive activity.

Karpouziaaa is a video document of a live event by Mark Aerial Waller commissioned by Whitley Arts Festival, Reading.

This project is an extension of Waller's practice of introducing fictional scenarios to participants of a video production, in which the fiction edges into an intense experience, where the audience and participants overlap. Here in Karpouziaaa, the audience are also in the video, the audience being the people of Whitley who are participating in the fictional sales experience. The improvised public performance, becoming shopping experiment, was held for a single day at the end of September 2009, and documented on video with participation of the community of Whitley.

Karpouziaaa means 'watermelons' in Greek, the word can be heard in urban streets and villages, called out over loudspeakers from open backed trucks, mobile fruit and vegetable shops.

"Having spent several weeks visiting the area, meeting young people and organiser Angela Bovell at the youth and community centre, I saw that the area didn't need a film, but did need more activity in the empty streets. So the work became a production of a situation. The local community and I set up a mobile fruit and vegetable shop for the day, always knowing that it was being prepared for a film, it was as if the mobile shop was being art directed and we were the extras on the scene. We set up a workshop thinking about what we might shout over the loudspeakers as we drove through the estates of Whitley, a young poet prepared some work and others thought of a dance routine."
Mark Aerial Waller

Karpouziaaa tests the edge between fiction and action, between make-believe play and work. For one day Waller set up a mobile vegetable shop with residents of Whitley, calling out songs and items for sale over a megaphone. The salesperson’s voice becomes a bold rhythmic poem – a public voice usually associated with political canvassing and totalitarian science fiction dystopias. The realm of poetry is made concrete for a day through the routine of buying and selling.

The final film was screened on a domestic television in the home of one of the participants for the exhibition Whitley Arts Trail (2011), where residents opened their front rooms to the public for the exhibition. Children, local families and visiting art enthusiasts mixed in the milieu of the front rooms of Whitley.

MARK AERIAL WALLER, OFFERING TRANSMISSION

graphite on paper with recent episode of The Simpsons

Seminal British conceptual artist John Latham’s performance work re-worked at Wysing Arts Centre as part of a day of performances and live works that look at ideas around space and time.

Conceived and Performed by: Gillian Bexfield, Christopher Brazier, Darrell Broom, Denzil Dean, Josh Lockwood, Hannah Wallis.
Dramaturge: Mark Aerial Waller

Saturday 10 March 2-7pm

The performance of the late John Latham’s work at Wysing is the first of a series of new re-workings of the artist’s play The Government of the First and Thirteenth Chair, for camera, for live audience and for publication. In the collaboration between Wysing, Flat Time House (Latham’s studio and home in Peckham) and Norwich University College of the Arts (NUCA), artist Mark Aerial Waller has reworked Latham’s original script and stage directions with students from NUCA to develop a new version of the play, which expresses Latham’s theories of space and time.

BOOK TICKETS HERE or on 01954 718881.
This event is FREE and Wysing are considering organising transport by coach from London (£18 return) and Cambridge (£8 return) if there is enough demand. If you would like to take advantage of this then please let Wysing know when booking.

Emma Smith’s ongoing project ∆E=W, developed with the support of Artsadmin from a series of experiments involving touch, the gaze and spatial harmonics, looks at the experience we have in a gallery through a series of vocal and physical responses to the work on display. Mark Essen shows a new short video work. Francesco Pedraglio’s The Evidence of an Object focuses on the conceptual and practical difficulties of storytelling, reflecting on the idea that any narrative, as much as it creates dependency for its listeners, relies on their interpretative will. Cally Spooner reads a score for a new theatre production on the possibility of not performing. A film programme for a phosphorescent screen has been curated in collaboration with Gil Leung of LUX and artist Ed Atkins.

This programme of films examines the cultural evolution of images within society and the influence they have over an individual. The artists presented explore the relationship of historic images in the present day. The screening will include works by Doug Fishbone, Oliver Laric, Duncan Marquis, Mark Aerial Waller, Jennifer Ross, Clare Harris and Emily Wardill.

Following the screening there will be a Q&A chaired by Joanne Lee (Senior Lecturer, Fine Art, Nottingham Trent University) alongside artists Doug Fishbone and Mark Aerial Waller. The discussion will explore the contemporary use of images and re-appropriation, contemplating on where it is we are going.

[Image: detail of Disintegrating Solitude, Aquerelle on paper, Mark Aerial Waller 2011]

Community without Propinquity* is a project, curated by Claire Louise Staunton and Inheritance Projects, exploring the role of contemporary art and understandings of community in New Towns across the globe. For October and November, the The Project Space at MK Gallery, Milton Keynes has been an active Research Laboratory and forum for public events and new artist commissions. The focus of the research has been on the meaning of "community" in New Towns.

The closing event will frame this work and research within a panel discussion, the launch of a publication published by ANDPublic and And Endless Supply and the first chance to see new work by the six commissioned artists including Caroline Devine, Patrick Staff, Emma Smith, Kelly Large and Mark Aerial Waller.

Total derive on commodity fetishism: born again, perverted and reclaimed
There is some kind of sacrifice, once these clothes have been baptised they are not refundable or returnable, their commodity value has been washed away.
The submerged are both serious and exultant. There is a sense of triumph around. The years spent infusing the garments with corporate branding and pseudo philosophy have been dismantled in an instant by powerful niche eroticism.

" "[sic] TIM GOLDIE is one of the most original noise musician/performers on the European scene. His double album "ABJECTOR"[sic] is a violent and considered examination of the fragmentation of language, the de-composition of instrumental research and the painful suffering that accompanies it. Far from any current or cultural influence, Goldie's work places itself in a unique conceptual universe, and its cruel voice warbles a mix of agony and ecstasy. Netmage Festival, Italy 2009
