Abstract

POLARITIES: DISCORD | POLARITIES: ΔΙΧΟΝΟΙΑ brings together artists, Jim Hobbs (UK/USA), Jono Crabbe (UK), Maria Glyka (Greece), Vassilis Vlastaras (Greece), Maria Karantzi (UK/Greece), Daniel Cruz (Chile), Fotini Kalle (Greece) and Jorge Cabieses-Valdes (Chile) who create live expanded cinematic works using 16mm film, digital projection, sculptural elements, performance and various acoustic tools.

For this year´s event, the artists are working with the concept of discordance as it relates to political, social, cultural and economic structures. The programme will see the artists explore the performative nature of their own individual works and create a new collaborative piece which responds specifically to the idea of discordance as structures of opposition, social dichotomies and its more poetic and symbolic extensions. There will be multiple projections/screenings/performances/installations throughout the entire physical space of Irida.

Polarities is the name of a working group of artists from around the world that represent multiple academic and artistic backgrounds: the Sound/Image Research Centre at The University of Greenwich, the Department of Visual Arts of the University of Chile, the ASFA Athens School of Fine Arts, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Vakalo Art and Design College. Polarities has recently performed and exhibited in Museum of Contemporary Art (Santiago, Chile), Sound/Image 2023 Festival, University of Greenwich (London, UK) and the Contemporary Museum of Crete in Rethymno (Crete, GR). This will be the second time the group has developed a specific programme for Irida.
