OODAAQ Festival
Videoart Festival From Rennes, France
only on VisualcontainerTV
From 20 May to 7 June 2015
5 special programs simultaneously presented during the OODAAQ Festival in Rennes.
Oodaaq is an island discovered northeast of Greenland in 1978. This bank of gravel and silt has longtime been said to be the most northern emerged land on earth. In reality it is drifting and impossible to localize nowadays. Leading an existence somewhere between reality and imagination, the island of Oodaaq thus becomes a metaphor for images and their paradoxical materiality nowadays.
L’Œil d’Oodaaq is a non-profit organization based in Rennes, France, that stimulates research on video art and other forms of images in contemporary art : photography, installation, drawing, painting, performance, new media. L’Œil d’Oodaaq defends nomadic and poetic images, and wishes to facilitate encounters between artists, public and art professionals.
The Oodaaq Festival constitutes the main annual event organized by L’Œil d’Oodaaq. Every year in May the festival invites the public to attend exhibitions, screenings, performances, lectures and moments of encounter.
This year’s festival takes place from 20 May to 7 June, in three cities : Rennes, Nantes and Saint-Malo, in order to give a larger visibility to the works selected through an open call. It echoes the concept of nomadic and poetic images developed by l’Œil d’Oodaaq.
This concept allows to reflect on circulation, materiality and reception of images in our contemporary and connected society. And since images travel easily nowadays, you can discover all five video art selections screened during the Oodaaq Festival here on VisualContainerTV.
