WRAP

This is a short film of about 20 mins. It is narrative, following a day in the life of a middle-aged woman who is a housewife. The day ends tragically. The film elaborates on the daily rituals of housekeeping, which correlates in some way with the woman's relationship with her family.

Talks & Interviews

WORK/PLAY

The following description was extracted from the Introduction in focas Vol. 3 by Editor Lucy Davis.

The forum had grown out of two recent developments in the arts community. The first was a search for a language of practice. For some time now, various members of the arts community have felt that arts practice is increasingly overlooked for the sake of arts production. These attitudes, in turn, have lead to a tendency by some practitioners to essentialise their practice in a defensive response to allegedly product-focused arts funders and arts commentators. The second development that inspired the Work/Play forum was the oft-heard refrain, "Making Art isn't Fun Anymore", and the pressure on cultural production and practice to become more and more like other rationalised industries. This rationalisation of the arts finds expression in the ever-increasing application of productivity measures, including such quantitative "performance indicators" as the number of productions per company or per artist, per year, and audience per funded dollar.

The forum transcription was published in focas Vol. 3.

Los Durmientes

"if God for an instance would forget that we are cloth marionettes and would give us a piece of life, possibly we would not say all that we think, we would definitely think all that we say. We would give value to all things, and not for what they are worth, but for what they mean. If God would give us a piece of life, we would dress simply, throw ourselves face-down, leaving bare, not only our bodies but souls..." A video installation by an Uruguayan for the people of Singapore.
