has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
AVIEW NOMAD GALLERY
Public Projections - Gothenburg
In the series Public Projections Gothenburg AVIEW NOMAD GALLERY presents work by invited artists at the projection based site in public space.
The screening is on a permanent projection-space in central Gothenburg, Sweden. The curatorial principal is linked to addressing the access/usage of public space per se it does not have to evolve around the city or urbanism but reflect back on the participatory aspect of creating or (re-)forming the society we live in. In this specific case one needs to take into consideration that it is located on a street in central Gothenburg. This gives the work a specific context that might alter the reading in comparison to a screening in a specific art context. At the time we see the project as interruptions of the expected flow in public space. The programming is done as we come across something we would like to share.

Resonance draws up a non-linear world that indicates the power of informal networks as step stone and creative well for contemporary artists. It is a documentary/installation on friendship, motivation, networks, as well as the urge to produce. It is focusing on thoughts and process positioned beneath the surface of the work that they ordinarily are represented by. It is a segment of contemporary artist's reflection on the very cusp of being in and out of mainstream. It also refers to exile identity and the artistic process, inner and outer rooms of ten women - casting resonance of thoughts, ideas, dialogues and friendship.

Rancorous Call
2006 / animation / 1 min
Echoing through time the words from a speech originally held in 1775 with depth of panoptical dimensions. Barricades of artificial control mechanisms are installed to protect us from our selves - the ever expanding distance between us.
Rancorous Call consists of imagery of surveillance cameras arranged in a symphony to Sir Patrick Henry's words uttered at St John's Church in Richmond, USA, and here interpreted by Richard Shumann.
Completely based on found footages and sound collected from the Internet.

As The Carney Goes
Anna Viola Hallberg and Madeleine Hatz went out with a small videocamera and talked to people in the immediate aftermath of 911 (2001) with touch downs in time until 2002. The documentary material belongs to a larger body and can be seen as a preview material. No scenes are arranged.
As The Carney Goes captures the emotional strain felt in the days after towers went down. As many other New Yorkers we took to the streets reassuring ourselves that compassion still was there. The gap in between what was reported and what we saw just kept growing bigger. The war went from terrorism, to nations, to civil liberties. A time without order - words like privacy and security became highly charged. The pillars of the constitutions are now trembling as new laws are being passed.
The film reflects up on some engaging New Yorkers actions through an era no one ever thought we would survive. It is a testimony for all people seeking a sense of home.
