For the first Insomnia Event, we are happy to invite artist Irina Botea Bucan and curator Olaf Stรผber on the topic of the future of video art. The talk will take place online on Zoom and live-streamed on Facebook, on the 31st March 2021, starting 18:00, in English.
Recent changes in the distribution and reception of video art / film / digital media generate different definitions for time-based art forms. Together with Irina Botea Bucan and Olaf Stรผber we invite you to imagine new ways of presenting and understanding video-art in the age of online-streaming and social distancing. The dialogue starts from the extensive experience of our guests with video-art and film-making, focusing on spaces of dialogue for time-based media.

Insomnia is inspired by the artists, curators and the countless conversations that welcome a tireless curiosity in all art-forms. Each Insomnia takes place in Bucharest and is centred around a talk with guests from all corners of the world, and each discussion topic revolves around the main themes of the ARAC ART & RESIDENCY programme: climate change, migration and new technologies.

IRINA BOTEA BUCAN
Over the past twenty years Irina Botea Bucan (b. 1970) has been engaged in an art practice that uses multiple media to inspect socio-political dynamics and the possibility of transformation. Irina Botea Bucanโs most recent films focus on strategies to undermine such dominant socio-political discourses and to create the framework where minor, unknown, or forgotten histories rise to the surface, forming an unsuspected force field of ideas. Irina Botea Bucan lives in Romania and England. After graduating from the Art University in Bucharest, the artist earned her masterโs degree from The School of the Art Institute in Chicago. In 2014, Irina received the 3Arts award, conferred to exceptional women artists.
Since 2013 the artist has been working closely with Jon Dean (b. 1966), sharing his experience in the field of community-based participatory arts and adult learning for over 30 years. Jon Dean also creates independent (cross-platform/film) art work that symbiotically relates to his community arts-focused methodology.
