Description:
The International Video Art Exhibition “Apolis — Attention as Participation” is a special satellite program of the Green Mountain Film Festival this year, happening from March 15-22 at the Crumb Factory, a growing multidisciplinary collective studio and gallery for art and design, based in Montpelier VT.
The exhibition presents nine works from seven artists living in disparate locations internationally. Mostly made with little to no dialogue, these works approach filmmaking in their own unique and unconventional ways, inviting the audience to experience various unusual sensory journeys, while they reflect, revisit, and recompose concepts, places, histories, identities, emotions, and desires.
The exhibition delves into the role of spectatorship in filmmaking and viewing, where it can be both passive and active in shaping the creation and experience of films. The relationships between the artists, the audience, and the filmed subjects are reexamined, deconstructed, and recreated, through which new senses and experiences unfold. It seeks for an inspired awareness beyond passive spectatorship, where attention acts as participation in perception and the unspoken dialogue with the world.
