Index is happy to present a new iteration of Lucy Raven’s ongoing talk series On Location. Raven’s work focuses on the edges of image production, what happens behind the camera, in-between frames or within post-production. On Location traces the spaces of image industries, in a physical and technological sense. After the enormous success of the re-release of Titanic in a new 3D-technology in 2012, many other films were re-released too, digitally re-worked in countries in Southeast Asia. The lecture follows the developing technologies, infrastructures and working conditions through which landscapes, locations, and stereoscopic spaces are constructed today.

What is the role of mega-exhibition in peripheral contexts, and how does it relate to the model of the small-scale institution operating in precarious conditions? Iliana Fokianaki, founder and director of the non-profit organisation State of Concept in Athens, will discuss these phenomena through examples of her own work and other institutions in the Western and non-Western context. The talk is part of the series Flying Carpet by Iaspis, the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s International Programme for Visual and Applied Artists.More |
Save the date for the opening of our next exhibition with Anna Boghiguian on Friday 17 March 2017, 17:30–20:00. Boghiguian was born in 1946, an Armenian in Cairo, yet never adopted the city as her only home. Living a nomadic life, the artist has constantly moved from city to city across the globe, from Egypt to Canada and India to France. Her work incorporates observations, historical facts, literature and poetry into complex narratives of power and migration. The exhibition at Index will include a large-scale installation charting the global histories of cotton trade.More |
