Kreider + O’Leary screen LA Tapped at:
R:Fest 2012
The Centre for Creative Collaboration
16 Acton Street
London WC1X 9NG
March 2012
LA Tapped is a spatial enactment of the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, CA, performing the building as per Frederic Jameson’s reading of it; that is, as model of postmodern architecture and allegory for the logic of late capital. The performance entailed moving around the building and tap dancing a set sequence at various locations throughout the Bonaventure including elevators, walkways, hallways, shops, indoor track, outdoor pool and peripheral spaces.
The video work LA Tapped (or the story of a harmless little girl, who had been carried by a cyclone many miles from home; and she had never killed anything in all her life) documents this performance, while becoming a work in its own right. Coupling the footage of the performance LA Tapped at the Bonaventure with sound and image taken from John Pilger’s The War We Did Not See, the work aims to expose an enmeshment of the topologies and representations of our built environment not just with the logic of late capital, but also with the systematic violence that this logic both upholds and reinforces.

The talk will explore developments in Critical Performance (Sayre) and Performance Writing (Pollock), Resonant Criticism (Meskimmon), Art-Writing (Bal) and Site-Writing (Rendell) before engaging specifically in a critical response to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s video and sound installation Passages Paysages (1978).

Kreider + O’Leary present work at:
The Literary and Critical Theory Seminar
Institute of English Studies
Senate House, Room 261 (2nd floor), London, UK
6-8pm, February 1st, 2012
Kristen Kreider will present the paper 'Reflections on a Future Nostalgia: Exploring Andrei Tarkovsky's Film Image and its Expansion through Contemporary Art'. How does Tarkovsky’s film image generate a complexity of meaning through its relation to the artistic symbol, the poetic image, time, place and the viewer? In doing so, how does it evidence a nostalgic impulse? How can one identify the critical and creative potential of this nostalgic impulse? Finally, how do certain contemporary art practices, expanding the complexity of meaning in Tarkovsky’s film image in order to exploit this critical and creative potential, indicate the futurity inherent in Tarkovsky’s ‘nostalgic’ film image? This exploration will take the form of a paper and film screening of Gorchakov's Wish (Kreider + O'Leary, 2011).

ON THE IMAGE
Donostia / San Sebastian, Spain
26-27th September 2011
Kreider + O’Leary will present work at the Second International Conference on the Image, held alongside the 59th San Sebastian Film Festival at the Kursaal Congress Palace, 26-27 September in San Sebastian, Spain.
The conference is a means by which to interrogate the nature and functions of image-making and images. The conference is a cross-disciplinary forum bringing together researchers, teachers and practitioners from areas of interest including: architecture, art, cognitive science, communications, computer science, cultural studies, design, education, film studies, history, linguistics, management, marketing, media studies, museum studies, philosophy, photography, psychology, religious studies and semiotics.
We will be screening the final section of Gorchakov’s Wish, an ongoing collaborative project exploring issues around physical and psychological displacement through a sustained engagement with Andrei Tarkovksy’s film Nostalghia (1983). We will discuss how Tarkovsky's concept of 'the Film Image' has informed our practice.

Kreider + O’Leary residency:
The Centre for Creative Collaboration
16 Acton Street
London WC1X 9NG
April 2011
For this residency, we will be recording video for the final section of Gorchakov’s Wish, an ongoing collaborative project exploring issues around physical and psychological displacement through a sustained engagement with Andrei Tarkovksy’s film Nostalghia (1983). More specifically, recording ‘Allegory of the Five Elements’, which takes the penultimate scene of Tarkovksy’s film as a point of departure, translating and transforming this scene through an assemblage of image, object and action.

Kreider + O’Leary present at:
SEXUATE SUBJECTS: Politics, Poetics & Ethics,
UCL, London
Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th December 2010
This international interdisciplinary conference seeks to generate new theories and practices of subjectivity – ‘sexuate subjects’ – through contemporary poetic and political research in the visual arts, humanities and social sciences, and with reference to Luce Irigaray’s theory of ‘sexuate difference’. It explores how these positive ethical subjectivities for women and men are constructed through spatial, material and textual feminist poetics and politics. Over three days, it will examine especially how sexuate subjects (people/disciplines) aid interdisciplinary responses to contemporary global crises of community conflict, social and environmental wellbeing.
Sexuate Subjects will focus on these issues as they are expressed in political, poetic and ethical practice in disciplines including: architecture, art, literature, modern languages, philosophy, the political and social sciences. Nine panels and invited keynote speakers examine the following themes:
- environmental and social crises
- sustainable ecologies
- poetic communities, pedagogies, voices and bodies
- the politics of bio-medicine, body-rights, family and well-being
By examining these complex expressions of our physical and psychic lives through artefact, body, dialogue, image, installation and word, the event will provide a platform of diverse approaches which can help us build sexuate futures for all. Such approaches aim to contribute towards developing more nuanced understandings of the diversity of global cultures and their academic and public intersections.

'The Edge of Emily’s Desk'
POLYply
Centre for Creative Collaboration
16 Acton Street London Greater London WC1X 9NG
9th September 2010, 7-9pm
The Edge of Emily's Desk is a video work shot on location at Emily Dickinson’s family home (The Homestead) in Amherst, Massachusetts, by permission of the Emily Dickinson Museum. Filming took place in Dickinson’s bedroom where the poet’s 17in. writing table sits in the southwest corner of the room. The work, presented originally as a four-screen installation (2005) and now re-edited as a two-screen installation piece (2010), is an exploration in scale, colour and detail. Close, careful observation is coupled with patient surprise to evoke the writing space of the poet as much as the focused attention demanded by a reception of Dickinson’s work.

‘Lyric Encounters: The Material Poetics of Emily Dickinson’s Later Manuscript Pages'
Emily Dickinson International Society Conference
Rothmere American Institute
Oxford University
6th – 8th August 2010
The later manuscripts of Emily Dickinson are distinct in that, unlike the poems written before 1875 – poems that Dickinson would transcribe onto clean bifolium sheets of paper and then either bind or group together into ‘fascicles’ and ‘sets’ – these later poems and poetic fragments have been left in their ‘worksheet’ state; that is, scripted onto scraps of paper, the backs of envelopes, bits of newspaper cutting and the like. Exploring the unique material and spatial qualities of Ms. A449, ‘The vastest earthly day,’ I examine how these relate to a writerly and readerly performance of the poems scripted therein. My aim in doing so is to discover how meanings are generated through what I call Dickinson’s material poetics.
The paper will be accompanied by a screening of The Edge of Emily’s Desk.

A series of word-and-image composites relating to Isola di San Michele (‘Island of the Dead’) in Venice, Italy; Daigh Bhríde (St. Brigid’s Well) in Liscannor, County Clare, Ireland; and a burial site in Tenryu-ji in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto, Japan. The work is a poetic meditation on death as much as an anthropological documentation of three culturally-specific sites of mourning.
