			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.ferro-mco.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/pipilottirist.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-380" title="pipilottirist" src="http://blog.ferro-mco.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/pipilottirist-300x225.jpg" alt="pipilottirist" width="300" height="225" /></a>Have been visiting the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipilotti_Rist" target="_blank">Pililotti Ris</a>t exposition in Boymans van Beuningen. Pipilotti is a video artist. Her exposition is named &#8216;Elixer&#8217;. The exposition is called a video&#8217;organism&#8217;. Visitor are invited to participate in the organism: entering a sort of body in the semidark, lots of curtains. Plenty of rooms you are invited to lay down, you can watch the video&#8217;s projected on the ceiling, floor and/or walls. The &#8216;organism&#8217; metaphor is suiting her art, which is very organic: a sort of sweet, LSD trip with flowers, trees, lots of Pipi herself and all supported with psychedelic music made by Pipilotti herself. You can get a pretty good idea watching <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6CLO026tuA" target="_blank">this trailer</a>. I liked &#8216;homo sapiens sapiens&#8217; a lot, but I must say I got a little bit fed up with it aftter  having seen 6 of the 9 installations. I got a little bit bored by the colourful sweetness.</p>
<p>But &#8230;&#8230; not half as much as I liked <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskia_Olde_Wolbers" target="_blank">Saskia Olde Wolbers</a>. The work of Pipi slightly reminded me of Wolbers work but than: Wolbers really impressed me. Actually, she was the first videoartist I ever liked. Until I have seen her work I associated video art with a boring symbolistic artist hocus pocus. Looking for hours at an empty chair or seeing a hand trying to catch mud over and over. More a symbol of the &#8216;unconventional anti-bourgouis&#8217; character of the artists than a piece you might actually want to watch. Wolders work is not at all like that. It is mesmerizing. I guess it is influenced by dance and it has like Pililottes work a psychodelic, organic aspect. But the difference is: you don&#8217;t get bored. Actually, you can&#8217;t get enough of it. The reason might be that you get a lot of story in her work. It is like &#8216;alineating, empty story&#8217; . But still &#8230; story. Drame, development. If you ever get the chance to see her, please do! You could watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEHpMpk4RxQ" target="_blank">this YouTube example</a>, but it doesn&#8217;t do complete credit to her work</p>
