Thursday Lates and FutureEverything present

Michelle Teran performing Folgen

Thursday 21st March 2013 7pm - 8pm

Manchester Art Gallery, in collaboration with Future Everything

Folgen is a 45-minute lecture performance that draws on the existing narratives of video makers found on YouTube to build a multi-layered media landscape of Berlin.  The performance which mixes reality with fiction, and is an intertwining narrative about desire. The many individuals involved in the making of the work create the stories told during the performance.

Teran's approach weaves together mapping, literature and live performance, combining fragments of images and sound from YouTube videos with her own narration and using the traces video makers have left in the public sphere of the internet to follow people throughout the city. The german word ‘Folgen’ has several meanings: as a verb it means ‘to follow’, as a noun it refers to episodes, consequences, implications or effects. Find out more on Teran's website www.ubermatic.org.  

Michelle Teran is a Canadian-born artist whose practice explores media, performance and the urban environment.  Her performances and installations usethe language of surveillance, cartography and social networks to construct unique scenarios that question conventional power and social relations.

Wonder Women : Radical Manchester It’s Manchester, April 1913 and three ordinary Edwardian women turn vigilante, surprising guards at Manchester Art Gallery, smashing glass and causing a commotion in the fight for universal suffrage. 100 years later Wonder Women: Radical Manchester re-examines that shock moment.  A milestone on the way to 2018 and the centenary of the first Act of Parliament for women, it is a distinctive Manchester voice questioning the power of women today.
