| Debates & Credits Book and DVD Released! |
|
|
As part of the final phase of Debates & Credits a book and DVD, documenting and commenting the project, have recently been published by De Balie Publishers in Amsterdam.
|
The book provides a full documentation of the art projects executed in the frame of Debates & Credits in the fall of 2002 in Amsterdam, Moscow & Ekaterinburg, including a full colour print-section and video documentations on the accompanying DVD.
After the execution of the actions of Debates & Credits, documented on the www.debates.nl web journal, we asked a number of distinguished colleagues to reflect critically on the outcomes and the issues raised by the project. This has resulted in a number of challenging essays, as well as an artist contribution by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, who has been working in the same period on highly similar projects engaging the interface of media and urban space. His work is introduced in the book by art and media theorist Timothy Druckrey.
Invited essays were contributed by:
- Viktor Voronkov, sociologist, director of the Center for Independent Social Research, Saint Petersburg
- Oliver Marchart, political and cultural theorist, works at the Media Studies Department, University of Basel
- Max Bruinsma, freelance critic, lecturer, curator, and independent consultant editorial design, Amsterdam
and by the curators of Debates & Credits:
- Tatiana Goryucheva, art theorist, historian of media art and curator, Moscow
(tangor@redline.ru)
- Eric Kluitenberg, media theorist, writer and organiser on culture and technology, Amsterdam
