2. the talk 

Exhibition as Event

Expectations and ‘Gesamtbild’

Emergence and Appearance

  The event itself in its realisation becomes the form of communication and functions as an entire image-concept (Gesamtbild) consisting of numerous, individual parts. The form changes in the context of exhibition and appearances. A medley of emerging elements.

3. the interview

Collaborative skype performance for the camera, Tashi Iwaoka and Dagmar I. Glausnitzer-Smith

1. Objective: a 3 layered, non-directive, non-reactive filmic situation between Tashi Iwaoka and Dagmar I. Glausnitzer-Smith via recorded Skype

the moving-communication exchange factor (word invention! ), an experiment

concept: thinking takes place during the action. The action is not a representation based on prior thought processes.

This idea is viable for further conceptual interpretation.

 Preliminary Thoughts (Glausnitzer-Smith)

Prior intentions for the skype action (take one):

“I show you mine, you show me yours but we don’t see it, yet. You show me yours, it won’t be missed.”

2. the Skype dialog between Tashi Iwaoka and Dagmar I. Glausnitzer-Smith

 Preliminary Thoughts (Glausnitzer-Smith)

English

2.1. I am posing a question to you, which is the question equal to the question I would be asking myself. Then I am posing your questions to become my own questions.

“The locations of your work are your material?”

2.2. Ask me and I am asking you. Which does not mean my answer is your question but I am making your question to become my own question.

(this did not happen in the situation of the dialog)

“Everywhere in the world there could be a moment where the perception and the awareness conjures a kind of tenderness for this moment in time. The moment of being-in-the-world becomes the actual material. It happens with a short indication.”
