Rosa Barba: Printed Cinema

In 2005 the Cologne-based artist Rosa Barba (*1972) received the Grant of the State of NRW for a Media Artist working in NRW (7.660 Euro) which is organised by the Hartware MedienKunstVerein. In her works, Rosa Barba deals with the intersections between music video, experimental film and installation.

On Disappearance. Loss of World; Escaping the World

Opening: August 26, 2005, 7 p.m. Either human beings are affected by losses, or their own disappearance affects others. In the first case, sorrow and desperation reign. Elements of human culture become lost. While the moment of disappearing and the grief experienced can turn into a media spectacle tuned into by millions, the histories and their consequences, the daily dramas and subtle disappearances are given little attention by the media.

hartware medien kunst verein will be presenting the exhibition "So wie die Dinge liegen" (as matters stand) from 1 May to 4 July; the exhibition was conceived by Hans D. Christ and Iris Dressler as part of "scene: schweiz in nrw", the 37th International Culture Days of Dortmund with Switzerland. "So wie die Dinge liegen" comprises works of photography and video, which explore the spatial concepts of the modern-day subject, i.e. its emplacement in the world, in a variety of different ways.
