Events/Openings

berlinerpool has a pleasure to introduce José Carlos Teixeira as a guest lecturer to share his views on archive and archiving theories and practices in his approach to art making. Teixeira will comment on his work while screening fragments of recent video pieces. In this talk, he will also address the concepts and themes related to his last solo publication/artist book, IN BETWEEN, the result of a 1-year residency at the Akademie Schloss Solitude, in Stuttgart.

José Carlos Teixeira is an artist and filmmaker whose work primarily involves video-essay, photography, and installation. In his work, frontiers between reality and fiction, video art and documentary, are often purposely left open and undefined. He explores and expands on notions of identity, otherness, language, boundary, exile and displacement. Using strategies of group performance, his pieces address specific issues related to locational identity (or identity as an ongoing process of transformation), global diaspora, and the limits (or overlapping) of personal, social, and geographical territories. They attempt to generate not a set of conclusions, but a continuous process of questioning. Teixeira focuses on participation, collaboration and dialogue, therefore incorporating multiple voices and subjects into his audiovisual projects.
