27. – 30. O ktober 2011
An interactive symposium in 3 episodes in 3 days
PHIL COLLINS (GB/DE)
m7Red (AR)
LA RIBOT (ES/CH)
This is the seventh year in which the interdisciplinary symposium IM PACT has invited
artists, practitioners, theoreticians and advanced students in the fields of dance, theatre,
performance, visual arts, new media and film to engage critically with the artistic
strategies and working methods of progressive guest artists, to test their approaches in
practice and to question them with reference to their own background.
In this 7th edition, imPACT 11 presents three artistic perspectives that
generate humorous, playful and paradoxical possibilities of interacting and
dealing with urban, social and political phenomenon using the artistic tools
available to them.
The artist La Ribot (ES /CH) develops lively and pernicious dialogues between
object and body, image and action at the boundary between performance art
and video art.
The films of video artist Phil Collins (GB/DE ) move along the interface
between documentation and staging and play expertly with society’s desires:
whether through dance-marathons in Ramallah or how fantasies are sold by
a TV shopping channel.
Via its virtual ›chat-theatre‹, the architecture collective m7red (AR) brings
together experts and lay people from across the globe to discuss ecological
and political questions, and develops games as part of preparing for floods
and other urban catastrophe scenarios.
During the symposium PACT Zollverein will present two lecture
performances by m7red and Phil Collins on Thursday, 27th October,
and the performance ›llámame mariachi‹ by La Ribot on Saturday,
29th October.
The working language at the symposium is English.
