Sari Kivinen (AU/FI) presents.. Copies of Copies

Theme: Identity construction within popular culture, artistic practices and the everyday.

This event will look at clips that highlight ways in which imitation occurs within popular culture, artistic practices and in everyday life. Posing the question of who is copying whom this presentation will contemplate ideas surrounding identity authorship as well as consider the various levels of parody evident in the selected clips shown. Consideration will be given to ways in which various cultures parody each other’s dominant strands of popular culture and how this can form parodist hybrids..

Kivinen is a performance artist from Sydney, Australia currently based in Helsinki whilst completing an MA in Live Art and Performance Studies at the Theatre Academy. Her work explores elements of fiction, reality, imitation and performativity.

This event is supported by a multi-cultural grant from Arts Council Finland.

Sari Kivinen (AU/FI) antaa.. Kopiosta kopio

Teema: Identiteettirakenne populaarikulttuurissa, taiteellisessa työssä ja jokapäiväisessä elämässä.

Tämä tilaisuus keskittyy tapoihin, joilla imitaatio ilmenee populaarikulttuurissa, taiteellisessa työssä ja jokapäiväisessä elämässä. Tuomalla esille kysymyksen, että kuka kopioi ketä esitys käsittelee ideoita, jotka ympäröivät identiteetin omistussuhdetta. Tilanne käsittelee eri tapoja, joilla parodia tulee näkyväksi esillä olevissa valikoiduissa video-otoksissa.

[Kannos: Juhani Koivumäki]

Tapahtuman tukee Taiteen keskustoimikunnan monikulttuurinen apuraha.
