OUT OF THE BOX INTERMEDIA at ART-ATHINA 2013
OUT OF THE BOX INTERMEDIA presents Raqs Media Collective "The Capital of Accumulation" at Art-Athina curated by Dr. Sozita Goudouna. The artwork straddles three very different cities - Warsaw, Mumbai and Berlin. "The Capital of Accumulation" is an ambitious video diptych installation that writes an oblique narrative of the relationship between metropolises and the world in counterpoint to Rosa Luxemburg's exceptional critique of global political economy – "The Accumulation of Capital". Raqs trawls through a haunting, dream like landscape which is part natural history, part detective journal, part forensic analysis, part cosmopolitan urban investigation and part philosophical dialogue, to offer a considered and personal reflection on the remaining possibilities for radical renewal in our times.
Raqs Media Collective (Monica Narula, Jeebesh Bagchi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta) are artists based in New Delhi, India working with a diverse repertoire of practices and curiosities. They make installations, films, curate, edit books, produce networks & situations and have a special interest in the history of twentieth century cities.
OUT OF THE BOX INTERMEDIA also presents Marenka Gabeler's Indonesia Sisters and Mat Chivers' Overlay together with a variety of past projects (Locus Solus, Shunt Vaults, London 2009, Byzantine Museum 2009, Benaki Museum 2010, Eleventh Plateau Hydra 2011, UN/INHABITED Delos Island 2012, Metabolism of Forms, Hunterian Museum London 2012.
