Visions Of Division by Non Grata, Videoclub and ProtoPLAY
Published 10th Nov 2006 by Nadege Derderian

ProtoPLAY curators are presenting ‘Non Grata, Visions of Division’ a multidisciplinary event that aims to promote the curatorial initiatives of the Estonian artists group ‘Non Grata’ and Brighton based organisation ‘Videoclub’, as well as Non Grata artistic work to audiences in Brighton.

Non Grata is a group of forty performance and video artists from Estonia - for over 15 years, they have been active in the international art scene as well as running their own art school.  Videoclub is a new showcasing opportunity in Brighton for artists who are pushing film, video and moving image practice. 

Saturday 2nd December 2006, 4pm at The Basement, Argus Lofts, Kensington St, Brighton (FREE)
The videos will be selected at the ‘12th Non Grata Film and Video Festival’ (the most renowned video festival in Estonia) through discussions between Non Grata, Videoclub and protoPLAY. The works are articulations of the theme “Pain in the Class” selected from Estonia, Finland, UK, USA, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Germany, France and Chile.
The festival brings together visions of division from different countries and looks at how artists today are finding ways to think about and question issues of class through video based work. What are the contemporary forms of segregation? Is there some international common ground of opinion and experiences? Who benefits from division?

Non Grata are perhaps most known for their radical and experimental performance work. They will make a collective Live Art performance at The Basement, where video and photographic pieces by Non Grata will also be displayed, retracing their work and actions from past years
