Apichatpong Weerasethakul

Apichatpong Weerasethakul is a prominent, independent young Thai filmmaker and video artist. Interested in the narrative tradition of filmmaking and video, Weerasethakul is inspired by small towns in Thailand, working with complex storytelling technique and incorporating the dramatic plot structure  of Thai soap operas, radio programs, comics and old films. He has mostly collaborated with amateur actors and favours improvised dialogue for exploring the boundaries of experimental, narrative and documentary film.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul was born in Bangkok in 1970 and grew up in Khoan Kaen, a city in north-eastern Thailand. He has a degree in architecture from Khon Kaen University and an MFA in filmmaking from The School of the Art Institut of Chicago. He has been making films and videos since the eraly 1990s and is one of the few Thai filmmakers who have worked outside  the strict Thai studio system.

Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramović [Ah·brah·moe·vich] was born into a high-profile Yugoslavian family. Her work draws its energy from this celebrity and familial culture, which has met extraordinary tests of the body over long periods of time.

Her Performance Art has featured repetitive actions, physical injury (including self-mutilation) and long periods of inactivity. During her retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (March 10 through May 31, 2010), she sat almost motionless opposite another participant for her piece The Artist is Present, whenever the museum was open: 736 hours and 30 minutes.

Abramović’s Performance work focuses on the body’s stamina, strength, ability to endure pain and powers of concentration over long periods of time. Her work also follows her family’s code of ethics: the mind and body should be resilient, disciplined and able to endure extreme hardship – testing one’s will to survive.

Sebastian Diaz Morales

Born in 1975 in Comodoro Rivadivia, Argentina, and currently dividing his time between that city and Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Sebastián Díaz Morales belongs to the newest generation of Latin American artists. In his films and videos, Mr. Diaz Morales explores the possibilities of video from a perspective that falls somewhere between documentarism and reinterpretation of a reality seen through playfulness, irony, and a pained scepticism. Essentially cultured and technologically skilled, Mr. Díaz Morales, like the other members of this new generation of artists, knows how to use the filmic language by drawing on the social experiences of his country and immediate surroundings to produce works that entirely escape any parochial reading.

The creation of an unusual atmosphere imbued with a strange sense of unrest is first and foremost. His works can be described as filmic narratives embracing stories that sometimes resemble science fiction, sometimes with certain catastrophic overtones, and in which there is an ever-present common denominator of a minimalist narrative style wherein the camera is always moving and in which the characters virtually function as metaphors for a story that goes beyond the anecdote to reveal problems of great scope in current society. His work encompasses the most contemporary and creative reportage, epic narrative, documentaries, short auteur films, filmic essays, and indeed an undeniable touch of poetry that cause his videos to oscillate between reality and fiction, always filtered through the artist’s creative subjectivism.

They all start from small stories, apparently trivial situations that give rise to other symbolic stories that stir our conscience and renovate our concept of the work of art.

His work has been exhibited widely at many prominent venues—such as the Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou; Stedelijk Museum and De Appel, Amsterdam; Art in General, New York City; Ludwin Museum, Budapest; Bienale Sao Pablo; Biennale of Sydney; Miro Foundation, Barcelona; MUDAM, Luxemburg; and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon—and is the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou; Tate Modern; Fundacion Jumex, Mexico; Sandretto Foundation, Torino; Sammlung-Goetz, Munich; and the Fundacion de Arte Moderna, Museo Berardo, Lisbon. In 2009 he was awarded with a Guggenheim Fellowship.
