In other news, two of the people involved in X-tine's Diary have two short films each being screened next Wednesday (Jess and Kathleen):
TestStrip presents Folklore | A.P.T Gallery | Wednesday 28 November 2012 at 7pm
TestStrip
is a platform for emerging and established artists to show films 'in
progress'. Each of the works has been selected from an open submission.
The
idea behind this initiative is that the A.P.T Gallery space will be
available for one night to provide a platform for artists to meet, show
work and discuss their artistic practice with the audience.
Each
piece contains the artist interpretation, and response to the Test
Strip 'artistic topic', artists were asked to show their technique,
style, and craft through the working theme: Folklore.
Folk
tales and folklore go to the heart and the root of man’s understanding
and experience of the world in a cryptic form that runs close to
reality, but delineates and deviates with subtle meaning and purpose,
the purpose that lies in the heart of the tale. This process is
important in art, like folk tales art does not simply replicate the
real, but engages with the real in an expansive and meaningful way, in
ways that are charged with deeper meaning and greater significance.
Folklore and art are both forms of social dialogue and understanding. In TestStrip’s first show these ideas meet, through artists re-thinking folk tales, film art, and most importantly their world.
