SUMMARY:Gediminas Urbonas and KARAOKE at Transmediale 2013
DESCRIPTION:Professor Gediminas Urbonas and Affiliate Nomeda Urbonas presented their 2001 piece KARAOKE at Transmediale 2013\, a Berlin-based media art festival and year-round project that draws out new connections between art\, culture\, and technology. Their video piece stages a karaoke performance of ABBA`s “Money\, Money\, Money” by employees of The Lithuanian Savings Bank. In 2001 the bank was the last state owned bank and was privatized by Swedish investors the day after the performance took place. The artists intervening the “no man’s land” – property that is in-between of belonging explain: “even without understanding the [ . . . ] the lyrics—often the essence of the song—inhabitants of the newly privatized state have penetrated their bodies with rhythms and melodies of a new utopia.” At Transmediale\, the piece was screened as part of the The Economy\, Stupid!\, a collection of films that address capitalism and Marx’s claim of the “‘complete alienation”\, the “dehumanization” of people\, in the credit system. Twelve years after the original performance\, the screening event at Transmediale recasts this project in relation to other interpretations and to the new conditions of credit and labor: “today\, algorithms carry out economic categorization of individuals.”\n Learn more about Transmediale 2013 \nEvents where the work was earlier featured:\nGender Check\, Zacheta National Gallery of Art\, Warsaw\, Poland\, 2010\nGender Check\, MUMOK\, Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien\, Vienna\, Austria\, 2009\nPeripheral Vision and Collective Body\, The Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art (MUSEION)\, Bolzano\, Italy\, 2008\nStill Here: humour in post-communist performative video\, Art Space\, Sidney\, Austràlia\, 2007\nWoman at crossroad of ideologies\, HULU Split\, Croatia\, 2007\nExploding Television – Satellite of Love\, Platform Garanti\, Istanbul\, Turkey\, 2006\nExploding Television – Satellite of Love\, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art\, Rotterdam\, The Netherlands\, 2006\nFemme Totale\, International Film Festival\, Dortmund\, Germany\, 2005\nShow Unit\, Riksutställningar\, Sweden\, 2004\nSocial Affairs\, Den Haag\, The Netherlands\, 2004\nExtended Views\, Maastricht\, The Netherlands\, 2004\nMoney for nothing\, Wellington City Gallery\, Wellington\, Australia\, 2003\nMoney for Nothing\, Artspace\, Auckland\, New Zealand\, 2003\nIt is hard to touch the real\, Kunstverein Munich\, Germany\, 2003\nVoice Session.
