Quantum Filmmaking at the National Gallery of Macedonia in June 2015

Quantum Filmmaking will be taking part in the Triennial of Skopje at the National Gallery of Macedonia- Mala Stanica Multimedia Centre from 21 to 28 June 2015, curated by Ana Frangovska (National Gallery of Macedonia).

In the exhibition there will be shown the Quantum project developed during the residency at the Art Colony Galichnik 2014:  Now&Here=Everywhere > Moment 10

Now&Here=Everywhere is the shortest international art collaboration in the History of Humanity, lasting just for 30 seconds, co-creating and re-creating simultaneous moments while celebrating cultural diversity, in which everybody is invited to collaborate with their mobile phones.  The documentary art project invites participants to make a thirty-second film with their smart phones at a certain date and time, and send them back straight away to us via e-mail and WhatsApp, to be published onto the Gallery of Moments of the website.  The collage-moments are randomly generated every time the observers interact with them, collapsing into one of the possibilities co-existing in quantum superposition.

MOMENT 10 was co-created on 15 August 2014 at 2pm (BST) by 35 artists filming simultaneously and choreographically with the camera-phones in different points of the Planet, such as, Japan, New York, North Carolina, Africa, Ireland, UK and Spain, in collaboration with the artists in residence at the Art Colony Galichnik 2014.


Participating artists: 

NICKY HAMLYN, JETON MUJA, BEKIM KORCA, PATRICIA PRIETO BLANCO, MARTA ALVAREZ, MARIO MARTINEZ, MARIANO MELMAN, CAROLINE KAHN, AITOR ALBO, BUHLE NDAMASE, ICEBERG FERNANDEZ , KATARINA BUNUSEVAC, JOHN LEE BIRD, ALBERTO GARCíA, MONIKA TOBEL, KATERINA (4 YR) & NATALYA (8 YR) CODY-RAPPORT, SILVIA GRIMALDI, CLAUDIA JACQUES , MAUREEN BACHAUS, ELISABET FASANO, FEDERICO GALLO , ELENA UGARTE, TERE MENDEZ, ABI FRENCH, JOZEF ONDKO, IOANA PIOARU, BRIGITA ANTONI, JON KOLDO VAZQUEZ, J. RAMON FERNANDEZ, SUSANA FERNANDEZ, FRANCISCO GOMEZ DE VILLABOA, GRACE EAGLE, JAN NIEMAND and WENDYL HARRIS.

   

During the residency at the Colony we also co-created X2 for the project Re-constructing the X. The piece re-constructs a pre-dinner momentum with all the points of view of the artists in residence, while registering the cheerful atmosphere of the Colony. The artists performed during the interval of thirty seconds a variety of choreographical camera movements filming each others, and thus, merging the roles of artists, performers and artworks, firstly during the Off line performance, and after, in the online re-constructed multi-perspective scene. All the possible compositions of the video  collage render into one when the collapse button is pressed, transporting the momentum in space and time, in the present tense of the observer: from the past perfect of the Art Colony Galichnik into the past imperfect of other places geographically indeterminate, with the future tense co-existing in superposition, as the possibility that the observers have to collapse the website again, anytime, in their present tense.
