Lecture

Today was the first lecture in the course ´Outsider Art´ by visiting artists Nina Fischer and Maroan el Sani.

Some interesting points relating to audience and how things are viewed, depending on your cultural, historical, social background etc. Most of the audience were Japanese and one question about a particular video shot in Japan was - what is the reaction about this video in other parts of the world? The artists explained how people in Europe usually react, which was exactly my reaction - ah....quite predictable, really.

Another example took ideas from an old French film ´Toute la mémoire du monde´, by Alain Resnais.

The last minute is especially good.
