Barbarian Gallery and Cyland Media Art Lab present
Personal exhibition by Anna Frants"Sediments"
Opening on 11 th March at 6:30 p.m.
Till 3.31.2010
Barbarian-Art Gallery - 33 Bleicherweg,
Zurich, Switzerland
Exhibition presents 2 video installations: Made in Ancient Greece and Jumping Jacks and one interactive multimedia installation Polar Bear Fodder.
Made in Ancient Greece is a freestanding video sculpture that introduces unlikely, from the conservative point of view, but perfect marriage of traditional art form and moving images. 
Ridiculing snobbishness of our conventional thinking, sculpture plays on principles of our vision, time that long term memory takes to pulls out clichés, and perfect proportions of the Greek pottery.
We are used to seeing the depiction of running or jumping athletes on the Greek vases. Five ancient amphorae in this installation have the same subject, except that, instead of the familiar red or black figures, we see on them videos based on Muybridge’s photographs “Human Figures in Motion” taken only about a century ago. This work of the 21st century could be called “post-post-modern” in that it proves that everything old (or very-very old) is new again.
This audio-video installation combines sights and sounds of the “Wild North” with the newest technologies. It consists of five old tin cans and a big screen. The viewer handles the cans, and each of them triggers a video on the screen, made in the Arctic and set on the songs of the indigenous people – droning, yet very rhythmical. Judging by the video context, the artist wants to remain a neutral observer. Thus, the viewer gets a portion of control and some food (or fodder) for reflection – on the future of the Arctic and the relationship between an artist and a viewer in contemporary art.
