  <Description><![CDATA[The National Film Center was established in 1952 as the first film department in a national institution in Japan. Entering the second century since the birth of film, the Center's task to protect the accumulated items from over 50 years as historically and culturally significant documentation and heritage is becoming increasingly more important. The collection includes 30,000 films, 20,000 books, 30,000 scripts, 42,000 posters and 372,000 still photos. 

This exhibition presents a selection of rare items from the collection including historical equipment, mementos of prominent figures in the film industry and newly discovered films, as well as the achievements of past film restorations to trace the history of the Japanese film conservation movement.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Based in Singapore, Ho Tzu Nyen presents his works throughout the world—in Hong Kong, London, Paris, Berlin, Sydney, and more—and he has gained prominence at numerous international Biennale and international film festivals. Ho participated in the 2011 Venice Biennale as a representative of Singapore, exhibiting his new work &quot;The Cloud of Unknowing&quot; (2011 - 2012), which was the talk of the town.

Ho reveals the imaginary that lies dormant as shared memory in historical fact and reality. His expression spans myriad planes, working mainly with video in installations, theatre, participatory projects, improvisational collaboration with musicians, and more. Ho has recently been exploring the relationship between image and sound in particular, and by exhibiting &quot;The Cloud of Unknowing&quot; anew as a four-channel video sound installation at this first solo exhibition in Japan, he aims to have the audience experience changes of space in the story caused by synergies of the video and sound. His &quot;Bohemian Rhapsody&quot; (2006), and &quot;Newton&quot; (2009) are also exhibited. His poetic and theatrical world presents the lessons and philosophy comprised by history and legends, and it offers the opportunity to consider what reality is.

  <Description><![CDATA[From the start, each year the Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions has posed the question, “What is an image?” and chosen a theme that suggests an answer to this question. It was, however, no easy task to think about an appropriate theme or envision the shape that this year’s festival might take less than a year since Japan was shaken to its roots by the earthquake and tsunami that devastated the Tohoku region in northeast Japan. Confronted with images of such overwhelming power, images that exposed the fragility of the foundations on which images are built, it came to us at last that there was really only one choice, to make our theme the physicality of images. In retrospect it seems so obvious, in times like these we had to start over again with this most simple and basic of questions. It would, at the same time direct our eyes once again to the complex and diverse possibilities inherent in images.

The theme of the fourth Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions is, then, “How Physical”. To illuminate the physicality of images, we begin with their practical aspect, then, through the works we present, press on into the riches and depth that images offer. Before we raise questions about the themes and cultural significance of images, asking what images show us or why these particular images were taken, we turn first to the technologies, the skills, the tools, the activities, the means of distribution that make images possible. At the same time, we recognize the presence in images of times and spaces that only exist as images and the power of images to affect us viscerally. Our aim is to savor deeply forms of creative expression in which the distinctive physicality of images is brought to life. We also see this as an opportunity to reconsider the issues of the day not abstractly, but concretely by considering the physical processes, equipment, technologies and economic environment in which images are captured, preserved and passed down to us.

The Yebisu International Festival for Art &amp; Alternative Visions takes full advantage of the space in which it is held to provide an opportunity for those who create, connect, and receive images to come together to enjoy the works on display and examine from many angles the physical aspects of images past and present. We hope that it becomes for everyone involved a comprehensive and future-oriented celebration of the “physical making” involved in imaging and visual creative expression.

  <Description><![CDATA[Ami Clarke is an artist whose practice often involves working with appropriated material. During extensive periods of research she responds to the material she finds mindful of the contributory factors of where and how the material she is drawn to is found.

Treating the collection of appropriated footage in a way more akin to a research project, the film: &quot;Be Seeing You&quot; explores the multiple perspectives afforded by film technology, and touches on relations between the audience and projected image.

The immersive environment creates a visual equivalent of certain kinds of auditory stimulation, an aural world, as M. McLuhan noted &quot;the ear favours no particular &quot;point of view&quot;... &quot;we are all enveloped by sound&quot;.

The emphasis on an experiential encounter with video that speaks perhaps of an authentic physiological experience whilst viewing, is complicated by the slippage that occurs between audio and visual affects, and the relentlessly hypnotic affect of the pulsing light.

The humour in the repeated 'takes', suggests a multitude of possibilities.

&quot;Humour as a system of communications and as a problem of our environment - of what’s really going on ... does not deal in theory, but in immediate experience, and is often the best guide to changing perceptions. Older societies thrived on purely literary plots. They demanded story lines. Today’s humour, on the contrary, has no story line - no sequence. It is usually a compressed overlay of stories.&quot;

In a separate work she considers Julian Assange’s comments in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, where the affect of data/news being deleted from the internet, without anyone really noticing it has happened, is described as 'un-publishing'. In this way what was understood, briefly, as 'news', simply disappears.

The publication takes the premise of 'unaccountability' relating to the data stream found in this way on the internet, and more generally, the way in which there can be little certainty re data management, with the advent of digital media, to exact a broad license with the content material in her own artists publication, a 16-page text and visual work, free to take away from the exhibition.

Assange mentions that perhaps it is less difficult in the traditional print media of newspapers, to vanish away such unwanted news, as its material form will potentially still exist with a broad distribution of the paper.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[Rat Hole Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of the late artist Jack Goldstein (1945-2003). Jack Goldstein’s performances, films, paintings, and sound works of the late 1970’s and early 80’s helped define the early stages of post-modernist art. A leading member of the Pictures Generation in New York that initiated a paradigm shift in art focusing on the critical examination of images, he has served as a major influence on many artists who came after him and has been called one of the most important artist’s artists in the last 30 years. On view from January 25 until March 25, this exhibition marks the first time for Jack Goldstein’s work to be shown in Japan.

Jack Goldstein was born in 1945 in Montreal, Canada and moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was a teenager. Goldstein received his initial training at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and then went on to earn a master’s degree as a member of the inaugural class at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in 1972. During his time at CalArts, he was a student of and teaching assistant to John Baldessari, where the primary focus of Baldessari’s famous “post-studio-art” class was the analytical investigation of imagery produced by the mass media.

Goldstein created a number of minimalist sculptures early on in his career, but soon turned to performance and film. During the 1970s, Goldstein divided his time between Los Angeles and New York, and from 1973 he began to produce a group of color films using professional technicians and special effects from the film and entertainment industry. With flashes of color and spectacularization undermining the iconic architecture of the image and the “place” of the viewer, these films were interrogations of media, technology, and spectacle, showing the artist’s fascination with appropriated Pop culture and Hollywood imagery. One of the most famous of these color films is &quot;The Jump&quot; (1978), a twenty-six second loop film projected onto a red painted wall, which will be shown in the exhibition at Rat Hole Gallery and was also screened at last year’s Venice Biennale. In &quot;The Jump&quot;, made using altered footage taken from Leni Riefenstahl's documentary of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Olympia, the image of a somersaulting high board diver is rotoscoped, tinted gold, scattered with stars, and placed against a void-like black background, out of which the figure repeatedly dives. Goldstein’s use of the rotoscoping technique strips the image of all identifying references, and the element of spectacle overpowers physical matter. Along with other members of the Pictures Generation, which takes its name from the landmark 1977 “Pictures” exhibition at the Artist’s Space in New York City and also included artists Robert Longo, Sherrie Levine, Troy Brauntuch, Goldstein’s examination of the image was based on an attitude of conceptual distance, in reaction to the extreme dominance of technology and media in post-war American society.

In 1976, Goldstein commenced with a new body of work, &quot;the records&quot;. These were colored vinyl records of sound recordings sourced from commercial archives that conjured intense visuals with titles such as “Burning Forest” or “Wrestling Cats.” These audio works served as a further abstraction to his films and were also designed as “images” to be installed on a wall without the possibility to play them. Goldstein conceived his records as both sound carriers and visual objects, saying “the records, they’re sounds as image, so I saw them as pictures.” Altogether, Goldstein produced eight record works, each of which differed with regard to design, size, and playing time. Out of the eight works, three consist of a series and one of these series, A Suite of Nine 7-Inch Records, will be on view in this exhibition.

Jack Goldstein’s oeuvre spans sculpture, performance, film, sound, photography, and painting. Central in his work however are primarily the 16mm films and records made in the 1970s, which can be considered among the finest examples of post-conceptual work from this time period. This exhibition will provide a unique and rare opportunity to view among Jack Goldstein’s most famous film works - a selection of ten short 16mm films from the period 1974-1978 including &quot;The Jump&quot;, &quot;MGM&quot;, &quot;Shane&quot;, and &quot;Butterflies&quot; - as well as a display of his record series.
