Für April und und Mai 2015 konnte ASIFA AUSTRIA die kanadische Künstlerin und Filmemacherin Madi Piller zu einem Aufenthalt als Artist in Residence in den Studios des Museumsquartiers Wien einladen. Die in Peru geborene Madi lebt in Toronto/Ontario und kann auf eine grosse Anzahl von Film-, Animations- und sonstigen künstlerischen Projekten zurückblicken, wobei ein Hauptaugenmerk auf die Verwendung von analogem Filmmaterial und dessen spezieller Materialeigenschaften gerichtet ist. Insofern hat Madi vor, den Krasstricktisch im ASIFA AUSTRIA Studio in der Dapontegasse für ihre in Wien geplanten künstlerische Tätigkeiten einzubeziehen. Aber auch mit den allermodernsten Medien ist Madi vertraut, so plant sie nach Möglichkeit ein neues Projekt vorzustellen, bei dem sie mit Oculus Rift-Brillen gearbeitet hat.
Ebenso engagiert und erfolgreich wie bei ihrem eigenen Kunstschaffen ist sie auch als Vermittlerin, Kuratorin und Unterrichtende tätig. Über das letztjährige Tricky Women Festival hat sie Wien bereits kennengelernt, bei dem von ASIFA AUSTRIA co-organisiertem Mediensymposium Scanner beim Animafest in Zagreb hielt sie ebenfalls im Vorjahr einen Vortrag über eines ihrer Kunstvernetzungsprojekte (TAIS - Toronto Animated Image Society). Sie wird im Asifakeil eine Ausstellung namens Film on FILM installieren und bei einem Screening/Talk im Raum D/quartier21 MQ am 29.4.2015 um 18:30 einen Überblick über ihr künstlerisches Schaffen geben.
„As an artist, my images are drawn from film explorations (super8, 16mm, 35mm) as well as photography and video. The result is often influenced by diverse techniques of animation. I continue to refine my techniques in filmmaking and animation as I explore new ways to tell stories, experimenting with the narrative.“
Madi Piller
ASIFA AUSTRIA invited the Canada-based artist and filmmaker Madi Piller as an artist in residence in the Museumsquartier Vienna for April and May 2015. Born in Peru Madi looks back on a large number of film-, animation- and other artistic works. Her special interest in analog film and the specific quality of this material will hopefully be satisfied by using ASIFA AUSTRIA’s Krass animation stand. But Madi is also familiar with most modern media features: One of her latest projects is made for Oculus Rift glasses.
Madi Piller is an excellent networker who likes to engage in group projects like TAIS - Toronto Animated Image Society. She is going to exhibit an installation called Film on FILM in the Asifakeil. On April 29 2015 she is going to give an overview of her artistic work and discuss and dissect the rationale and techniques behind her films (Raum D/quartier21, 6.30 pm).
