PEOPLE ON SUNDAY - ON MONDAY: SCREENING AND LATE VIEWING

PEOPLE ON SUNDAY - ON MONDAY: Monday 6 August 2012, 9pm

IBID, Olivier Castel, Katie Guggenheim and Justin Jaeckle invite you to a rooftop screening of People on Sunday (1930), on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name.

The concurrent exhibitions at IBID (Harold Ancart, Rallou Panagiotou, Colin Snapp; Video exchange: PROJECT88, Mumbai; People on Sunday) will be open for viewing from 8pm.

The film will start at 9pm. Drinks and popcorn will be served.
People on Sunday (Germany, 1930, Dirs. Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer, 73 mins)

Filmstudio 1929 presents its first experiment: People on Sunday, a film without actors. These five people appear in front of the camera for the first time, today they are all back in their own jobs.
Years before they became major players in Hollywood, a group of young German filmmakers — including eventual noir masters Robert Siodmak and Edgar G. Ulmer and future Oscar winners Billy Wilder and Fred Zinnemann — worked together on the once-in-a-lifetime collaboration People on Sunday (Menschen am Sonntag). The effervescent silent film features five ‘non-actors’ (a wine seller, taxi driver, film extra and model) playing versions of themselves, and follows their leisure pursuits over the course of one summer weekend in Weimar Berlin. A deliberate entanglement of fiction and reality, the film could be considered an early precedent of contemporary scripted reality television. 

PEOPLE ON SUNDAY at IBID Projects until Saturday 11 August

People on Sunday at Ibid Projects, Hoxton Square, London. 28 June - 11 August 2012

A project by Olivier Castel, Katie Guggenheim and Justin Jaeckle that responds to the site of the top floor of IBID, turning the gallery into a live cinema through which to watch the action in Hoxton Square below.
The project is titled after the 1930 silent German film, directed by Curt and Robert Siodmak from a screenplay by Billy Wilder. The film features five ‘non-actors’ (including a wine seller, taxi driver, film extra and model playing versions of themselves, and follows their leisure pursuits over the course of one summer weekend in Weimar Berlin. A deliberate entanglement of fiction and reality, the film could be considered a very early precedent of  contemporary scripted reality television. The film opens with the prologue “Filmstudio 1929 presents its first experiment: People on Sunday, a film without actors. These five people appear in front of the camera for the first time, today they are all back in their own jobs.”

For the exhibition, Castel, Guggenheim and Jaeckle have invited a range of artists and writers to contribute short texts of imagined scenarios and scenes that could be viewed in Hoxton Square over the course of the exhibition, functioning as intertitles or speculative screenplays for the reality unfolding outside of the gallery, and casting the occupants of the square as characters in a real life, real-time movie. It is anticipated that some of these texts will be realised during the show.

Ritual without Myth is an exhibition that considers the potential of ritual as a catalyst for transformative experience. Including newly commissioned and existing contemporary works, the exhibition explores art practices that combine cultural repertoires (that is aggregates of actions and symbols that structure social systems), thus freeing them from the authority of a unitary, dominant myth. As Suely Rolnik notes, that absence of an absolute and stable identification with any repertoire is a condition from which hybrid cultural forms can emerge, to undermine a dominant ideology.

The idea of "rituals without myth" was used by the artist Lygia Clark to describe her work, in particular her project Structuring the Self (1976-1988): a therapeutic practice carried out in one-to-one sessions that explored the affective potential of her tactile Relational Objects through the mind and body of participants.

Ritual without Myth is curated by the graduating students on the Royal College of Art's MA Curating Contemporary Art Programme: Daniela Berger, Laura Clarke, Sabel Gavaldon, Katie Guggenheim, Lily Hall, Egle Kulbokaite, Mette Kjaergaard Praest, Laura Smith, Borbála Soós, Elizabeth Stanton. Graphics by Rustan Söderling.

Monaco Magazine is a combination of an exhibition space and an art magazine which employs the format of a periodical publication as the organisational structure to generate a website, a series of print publications and a programme of exhibitions and events. Rather than reviewing or previewing, the magazine will be devoted to sharing projects that haven't happened (and for various reasons --eg. unfeasibility or lack of time, resources, interest or ability-- probably never will). By providing a unique space to present these lost ideas the magazine aims to create discussion and activity leading to the development of new projects, artwork and events.
