Open Phone Booth - A Project by Nilbar Gures HIGHLIGHT

- A film and work in progress, the artist shoot the village that is her Kurdish father hometown. Here in the mountains there is very limited infrastructure and no landline phones. Up untill a few years ago habitants were unable to make calls until recently when some have obtained mobiles. The artist films people climbing up the surrounding mountains of their village to get signal - and have their conversations in Kurdish. Shown as a triple screen projection with stills aswell.

Nice framing

Micheal Landy's Credit card destroying machine.

- Viewer gives machine assistant a valid credit card, it gets shredded by the machine and in turn the machine generates a drawing for the viewer to take away. In return for destroying their credit card the participant recieves an original artwork signed by the artist.

-Nice Graphic design

Beaut sculpture, info above on the sticker, reminds of Steve Bishop for ways of finding new light and colour combinations.
