"Border Videographies"

4:00 p.m., Thursday, 25 May, 2006

Popper Room

Looking at excerp of various video essays including her new work Black Sea
Files, the artist's lecture raises the question of how border spaces
constitute themselves through the movement of people. Her investigations
focus is on gender issues around globalization, namely migration and borders
and the female economies emerging under these conditions. The increased
movement of people in the post-1991 era and the management of these people
through border mechanisms have become two interconnected and very explicit
aspects of globalization processes. Entering clandestine, off-track and
virtual spaces, Ursula Biemann's art practice visualizes a counter-geography
and suggests ways in which artists may inscribe themselves in these symbolic
and material spaces. 

 

Ursula Biemann is an artist, theorist and curator who has in recent years
produced a considerable and widely exhibited body of work on migration,
mobility, technology and gender. In a series of video projects as well as in
several books: "Been There and Back to Nowhere"(2000), "Geography and the
Politics of Mobility"(2003) and "Stuff It" (2003), she has focused on the
gendered dimension of migrant labour from smuggling on the Spanish-Moroccan
border to migrant sex workers moving from the East to the West. Biemann's
practice has long included discussions with academics and other
practitioners, she has worked with anthropologists, media theorists, NGO
women, architects and other cultural theorists as well as scholars of sonic
culture, as for the Black Sea Files on the Caspian oil geography. Her
current Maghreb research project is on Mediterranean mobility will open in
Cairo 2006. Biemann researches at the Institute for Theory of Art and Design
at HGK Zurich. www.geobodies.org
