Trading Places Programme

Documentary in Process Thursday 20 May 6 – 8pm

Simone Bader and Jo Schmeiser of Klub Zwei talking to one of the participants of Thing. Places. Years after the screening of their film.

UK premiere of Things. Places. Years. a documentary by Austrian artists Klub Zwei followed by a discussionwith the artists led by artist and curator Anthony Auerbach.

The documentary project Things. Places. Years. (2000–2004) by Klub Zwei draws together the stories of three generations of Jewish women migrants living in London. The participating women describe their histories and their relationship to the city, to objects and structures around them. By associating things and places to personal experiences of exile, the film weaves together disparate constructions of womanhood. Slowly and carefully, the protagonists of Things. Places. Years. translate the effects of being out of place.

'Central to our work are current sociopolitical topics and an analysis of the ways in which they are represented in the media and in public. On the one hand we want to achieve critical reflection of representation and public intervention. Because the option of a change of society depends on the politics of representation accompanying it. On the other hand our aim is to develop an exchange between different cultural contexts and forms of egalitarian cooperation.'
Klub Zwei (Simone Bader and Jo Schmeiser).
