“Andre Gorz” by Marian Handwerker

This is a documentary by Belgian director Marian Handwerker is an interview with French philosopher Andre Gorz regarding his theory of the notion of “Labour” and discovers his vision on the topic of “Labour”, its past and present changes and the transformations of the production system.

The film was made two years after the publication of the book “Metamorphosis of Labour, search for meaning” (ed. Galilee, 1988), in which the author develops the idea that the film reflects, more or less directly.

Translation and subtitling of the film was carried out at Utopiana’s Media Lab.

“Mikhail Karikis” Performance - 10th September, 2010

The artist participated in the 7th Gyumri Biennale with a performance. The 7 min performance was an extract from his current work “Xenon” opera (see below). The performance was not mentioned in the Biennale program or booklets because it was planned to be an unexpected and astonishing intervention and the artist decided to make it during the opening ceremony when he was invited to give a speech as a guest of the event.

The artist noticed after the performance: “When I spoke to individuals in English (my second language), many did not understand me; when I performed in my artist language, the response was immense.”
