An attempt to use alternative geography to explore narratives and space
Free School workshop with visual artists Sherif el Azma and Malak Helmy (Cairo) /
Visual artists Sherif el Azma and Malak Helmy hold a four-days workshop with the students of the Intermedia Department at the University of Fine Arts between November 23 and 26 2011.
The workshop is a practice oriented format of the Free School for Art Theory and Practice
The workshop will function as a laboratory-like environment to maintain a conceptualization/ discussion with the intention to form a strong grounding from which to create a time-based collective work (made by the group involved). Time-based media may involve sound, video, performance, reading/lecture (or a multi-media piece) that has a sequential structure that runs with time. A specific space/location within Budapest will be chosen through discussion with the group, so that focus on that specific geography can be both used as part of a narrative construction and/or a base to consider different representational strategies when looking at a space more phenomenologically. Actual production will take place gradually during the three days of the workshop.
