– a one-minute film festival

 

 

Border Dialogues – the Barents Art Triennal is an international art project that aims to mediate and explore questions, responses, experiences and feelings related to the conceptions of borders. The project is organised in different steps with activities such as exhibitions, community projects, texts, workshops and events held in different locations from mid-2005 to mid-2006. The border dialogues project is managed by Pikene på Broen (Kirkenes), Verkligheten (Umeå) and University of Lapland (Rovaniemi).

The One-Minute Film festival contains films gathered from around the world – all based on the theme of borders. The 56 participating film-makers have interpreted the theme from different angles and the films deal with various questions, including language, geographical borders and personal ones, among others.

The films make up a loop of 56 minutes and will be screened continuously between 6–10 p.m. on Saturday 26th November at Platform. On the same day they will be shown at Gallery Verkligheten in Umeå, and at Generator in Dundee, Scotland.

Verkligheten i Platform

11.5–1.6.2003

A joint exhibition by the members of Platform and the artist-run gallery Verkligheten (The Reality) in Umeå (S) on the theme Place and Identity.

The project was an initiative by the two artist-run galleries to create a collaboration were artists in the both regions express, widen, concentrate and deal with the concept of identity from a local and regional starting point. The main issue was to create a dialogue and relation between the artists across the sea of Kvarken, as well as bring to the fore the theme identity in a local perspective in time for the international contemporary exhibition ID that will take place in several institutions in Vasa during the summer of 2003.

During the exhibition there were also a number of discussions connected to the exhibition:
Grasspopper: Sven-Erik Klinkman (Vaasa) and Thomas May, (Germany) were invited to talk about ”locality-identity”.
VIB: Markko Hauttala, (Vaasa), Oda Projesi, (Istanbul) and Ulrika Ferm, (Berlin)
Markko Hauttala did a talk about his novel ”Kirottu maa”, Oda Projesi did an artist talk, as well as Ulrika Ferm.

The second part of the project will take place in Umeå, where the members of Platform will do an exhibition called Learning by doing in November.

The project was supported by the Kvarken Council, the regional council for Finland and Sweden in the area of the sea of Kvarken, to increase the exchange between the artists in the region.
