Event/Activity: Nomadic Resident, Candice Breitz, “From A to B and back again”

Date and Time: Sep 17th 2013  3:10pm in class and 6:30pm at auditorium.



Short Description:
I am a huge fan of Candice’s work, the way she uses all the available pop culture documents to say what she wants to say. Her talk was amongst the best I have been to this year and her work is also my favorite. Her work around “Mother and father” is smart, as she pulls out all this context and content from movies and pop culture that surrounds us everywhere.
Her twin interviews are extremely deep, yet surprisingly very very entertaining.

Event/Activity Effects, Impacts, Inspiration! (point form précis)
1) having a light hearted approach to big presentations is great. She is such a great public speaker
2) how her artwork fits in different countries, continents, topics and content.
3) some artworks take so much planning, others just happen on the spot. “ the India example”  
4) having a partner who rocks in editing is a plus!!
5) just having fun and enjoying what she does is refreshing and nice to see.


Direct Outcomes of this Event/Activity (point form précis)
I was very impressed by the way Candice deals with all the available material to work with, its there its available and she just takes chunks of it and fits it perfectly in a new conversation and new context that work perfectly with what she wants to say. Her mom, dad, Bollywood young actors, and school kids. Are amazing ways she used footage to make her own scenario. The twin series is shocking, emotional, entertaining and fun to watch. Her bable series is just extremely smart! I absolutely love her work. she works with pop culture of the Americas and occasionally plays with Asian culture. i wish I could see how middle eastern work would influence her.
