SCREENING NARRATIVES: BETWEEN FANBOY AND APOCALYPTIC VISIONS.

Momu & No Es'work involves active dynamics based on a strong foundation of narratives and visual layers of shared iconographies and references from popular culture. Through installations, videos, and screening-performances they articulate a complex set of strategies to produce desire with the aim to create real environments, specifically to condition the audience's thinking, affects and interactions.

For Penny University, they will present two of their most recent works Soft Mud and The FanBoy and Apocalyptic Visions. With these works the artists would like to discuss the different engagements of use of video in their work, focus on how the narratives determine the format and which possibilities exist inside the medium to open the screen.

PENNY UNIVERSITY
Taking nods from the original Penny Universities — a tradition originating in 18th century London's coffeehouses — we invite our up and coming contemporaries to present their current project.

Penny University functions as a platform for recent graduates offering them the opportunity to present their current project and have it critically reflected by the invited moderator and audience.

The afternoons are modelled as a studio visit in order for the artist to share his or hers developments, ideas and objectives.

Penny University is supported by the AFK (Amsterdam Fund for the Arts).
