Join us for the book launch of BE GOOD, IF YOU CAN'T BE GOOD, BE GOOD AT IT Boom Boom Boom Boom (CVB/GSARA/elephy, 2021) at Harlan Levey Projects 1080 on February 26th.
BE GOOD, IF YOU CAN'T BE GOOD, BE GOOD AT IT Boom Boom Boom Boom is a publication composed of letters, notes, anecdotes,translations, stills and images: all traces of the creative process. The artists Rebecca Jane Arthur and Eva Giolo bring together their correspondence on the act of writing and of filmmaking, in all its complexity, struggles and playfulness.
The letters unpack themes such as the challenge of making personal work and the strength found in sharing vulnerability; the act of writing itself, language and translation; writing on moving images, on their practices and that of others; and the notion of a place as a container of memories, of interiority and the confrontation with home. The publication uses words and texts as images, and all images of persons or things are hidden. The publication acts as a negative to the films that we create, revealing that which cannot be.
This publication was created in the framework of Conversation #4, an initiative of Centre Vidéo de Bruxelles (CVB) and GSARA, in collaboration with Beursschouwburg. It was made possible with the kind support of elephy, Federation Wallonie- Bruxelles, and SOFAM (Société multimédia des auteurs des arts visuels) in Belgium.
