Artists

Igor and Ivan Buharov (HU)
It is more than 19 years that we have been working together, under the pseudonym of Igor and Ivan Buharov. We have been producing and directing several films. (experimentals, features, shorts, documentaries, animations). We have also been involved in the creation of several music projects and film music. Our works always dancing on the edge of fine art and cinematic art. In 1995, together with Vasile Croat and István Nyolczas, we have formed the 40 Labor “Multiartist” Group which made performances, events, actions, exhibitions, concerts, multimedia works. We held surrealistic audiovisual performances where the image, the music and the words became an organic whole after chaos.

“A generation earlier, the Hungarian underground masters who influenced them were equally overlooked. There is an air of „self-censorship“ about the Buharovs; in times of entrepreneurial globe-trotting art, they reflect an era when artists used film with the hope of reaching wide and nourishing the roots of their own culture. “ Vassily Bourikas

Ensemble Mas’ta (GR)
Das Ensemble Mas’ta präsentiert authentisch interpretierte Lieder aus einer der faszinierendsten kulturellen Bewegungen der mediterranen Welt des beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts: Rebétiko.
Eigenwillig in östlich modalen Skalen und westlichen Harmonien verwebt, wird Rebétiko in einem von etlichen Sprachen des Mittelmeers geprägten griechischen Slang gesungen. Entstanden in Gefängnissen, Haschischhöhlen und geheimen Spelunken, war Rebétiko das musikalische Sprachrohr einer urbanen Subkultur mit rebellischem Charme. Zu den weinenden Tönen von Bouzouki und Geige sangen rauchige Stimmen von menschlichen Dramen wie Entwurzelung, Armut, Drogenkonsum und Kriminalität. Rebétiko ist nicht zuletzt ein packendes Zeugnis einer gelungenen Verflechtung osmanischer, jüdischer, slawischer und griechischer Kultur.
Mas’ta sind:
Kurt Bauer, Michael Eisl, Giannis Ferlés, Kurt Schottmeier, Nikos Zachariádis, Tino Ziámpras

David Reumüller
*1979 Gaal
based in Graz/ Austria
In his work David Reumüller investigates the nature of individual as well as cultural identity, the method used hereby is the deconstruction of artificial images. Via video installations and photography, the elements of contemporary image-production, can be experienced on several levels at once – through the entity that is being reproduced itself, its form, its surface and a fictitious projection. Images that relate to other images are being created – a perception that extends the fragility of our supposed linear reality. We see images of things, while being their reflection and carrier at the same time. In his painting on the other hand, Reumüller stages surfaces of daily life, such as textiles or fragments of cladding to build image and identity. The monumental reproduction of surfaces is void of actual content and thus effectively approaches the central theme of interchangeability of personal and cultural identity.
Since 1997, David Reumüller works as an artist, musician or filmmaker on interdisciplinary projects in Europe and UAE.
