Aldo Giannotti and Viktor Schaider, A Rewinding Journey, 2005

Koroška galerija likovnih umetnosti presents international video exhibition Video in Progress 3: Fields of the Performative. The third edtion of the project, which in 2011 became a video festival organized by Kolektiva Institute and Photon Gallery, was first presented in 2009 at Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture in Ljubljana. Since then the project was presented in various forms in Gdansk, Skopje, Torino, Rotterdam and Rijeka.

The third edition of Video in Progress exhibition project is the result of international competition on the subject of performance for video. 46 selected videos featuring various formal and conceptual premises present heterogeneous interpretation of performance in relation to motion picture within the contemporary visual art.

Everything from regular performance in front of audience in a gallery to an exhibitionist and voyeuristic presentation of a body as an aesthetic object, absurd actions, exploration of identity, social and political roles, subjective views, narratives and the creation of film or documentary atmosphere.
