Director: Gregor Nicholas
1981, filmed 1994, 22', color
Performance film Pacific 3-2-1-Zero dramatically records the iconic work by renowned music/performance collective From Scratch, devised in 1981 as a protest against nuclear testing and waste dumping in the Pacific. Group leader/artist Phil Dadson, with players Wayne Laird and James McCarthy perform on invented and other instruments — from PVC pipes to biscuit-tins — arrayed in the shape of the peace symbol. Director Gregor Nicholas layers this rhythmic tour-de-force with facts and footage of nuclear testing.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Having penetrated the Balkans in the fourteenth century, conquered Constantinople in the fifteenth, and reached the gates of Vienna in the sixteenth, the Ottoman Empire long struck fear into European hearts.
Pera Museum’s Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition curated by Ali Akay and Alenka Gregorič brings together contemporary artists from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.
