Contemporary art is
open, ephemeral, interdisciplinary, multimedial, discursive, dependent
on concept and context and increasingly interactive. The diversity of
contemporary art requires a fastidious commitment
to documentation for no other reason than at
some point the work will need research and authentication by those not
present at its conception and presentation. Inadequate
descriptions and visualisations of eventful art works are
symptomatic today even when supple means documentation are widely
accessible. FMErá is committed to archival documentation of its own
presentations
and, here and there, that of other artists and presenters.
Současné
umění je otevřené, pomíječné, interdisciplinární, multimediální,
diskurzivní, závislé na konceptu a kontextu a stále více
interaktivnější. Rozmanitost současného umění vyžaduje náročný závazek
k dokumentaci z žádného jiného důvodu, protože v určitém okamžiku bude
práce potřebovat výzkum a autentizaci těch, kteří nejsou přítomni při
jeho koncepci a prezentaci. Nedostatečné popisy a vizualizace
uměleckých děl jsou dnes příznačné, i když flexibilní dokumentování je
široce dostupné. FMErá je odhodlána archivovat dokumentaci svých
vlastních prezentací a zde a tam ostatních umělců a přednášejících.

A sound and video
installation at the Swiss Hall in Tacoma, Washington. "As
the audience enters the installation space (they may arrive at any time
during the installation), they will be greeted by twin projection
screens showing original color films of people at work in distant
places such as China, Indonesia and other countries of the far east.
The performance space will be filled with the minimalist drone of the
composer's music designed to capture the acoustic characteristics
unique to the performance space. Live didgeridoo music will mix with
the pre-recorded drone intermittently. The audience will be invited to
move freely within the installation for any desired length of time--
some seating will be provided but listener/viewers will be encouraged
to move about. Projected videos and video monitors will be situated at
various positions throughout the space featuring people of far off
lands speaking anecdotally about their lives. The installation will run
continuously for six
hours."
