#LUMINO CITY TAPE REELS ARCHIVE#

Miha VipotnikвЂ™s film / video opus opened with a program of early experimental and performative works, the Screen MemoryВ exhibition and a two-channel video installation Eight. His artistic language includes elements of performance with an emphasis on the significance of timing and the gradual unfolding of enigmatic personal stories into a palimpsest of images, inscriptions and speech. Electronic media experimenting and the actual performative process are among key features of his artistic praxis, through which he explores the impact of such image transformations within his narratives. From very early on, he used video as his main medium of expression вЂ“ either through a single-channel video or as a constitutive part of his multimedia and interdisciplinary projects and art installations. Miha Vipotnik is primarily a painter, whose images and stories materialize in a form of movies and video art. All this is a good reason for the joyful celebration, as it also promises to continue this kind of cooperation in the fields of display, critical reflection and preservation of important Slovenia audio-visual cultural heritage.

We are proud that from now on VipotnikвЂ™s oeuvre will be kept also in the archive by the Slovenian Cinematheque, in the best quality on LTO carriers. In the archive DIVA Station SCCA-Ljubljana keeps VipotnikвЂ™s works and, in recent times, has been especially systematically researching, analysing and presenting them in the international space, as Vipotnik is an artist who has decisively marked the beginnings of video creativity in our country and also influenced the further development of film, video and media arts. In addition to the author, the program will include experts in film, video, new media and the authorвЂ™s works: Melita Zajc, Nika Grabar, Barbara BorДЌiД‡, Peter CerovЕЎek and Igor Prassel. The events will be accompanied by Screen Memory exhibition, Videogram 4 archive, lectures and talks with artist. This will conclude the circle from early experimental processes to cinematic narration. With projections once a month from January to June and September, the program will take us through a forty-year oeuvre of more than fifty works, from early analogues on celluloid and magnetic tapes to later digital ones on files and on online platforms.
