About
In Oo, A PREVIEW, Viktorija Rybakova (born 1989 in Vilnius) choreographs a hypnotic trip through the mental spaces of an exhibition, and its works. The video piece was originally produced as a "preview" for the Lithuanian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, 2013, and leads the viewer through an increasingly deep image world of a playfully unfolding artist book.
The participating artists in SEIZING THE IVORY TOWER present new productions, or installations developed specifically for 3 ½, which are concerned with any aspect of life that eludes general awareness, purposely or inadvertently. The series focuses on stories, occasions and phenomena in the marginal zones of our personal or public lives, but also looks closely at the artistic strategies themselves used for detecting, investigating or revealing these zones.
