About The Artwork

“Drink coffee with me in Venice” is a performative durational video which shows the subjective view of the artist drinking coffee in Venice on the famous San Marco’s square. Artist Valerie Wolf Gang invites the public to join her on the cup of coffee in Venice and enjoy a moment of silence and stillness to think about your inner thoughts and for a moment forget about the absentmindedness of life. Meanwhile drinking coffee and relaxing we can observe the stressful life in the background which is blurred in the video, so the only focus we have is the coffee. Our concentration is strictly measured by the coffee we drink. While we enjoy drinking virtual coffee with the artist, we can notice that the day gets darker and at the end of the video we can see that the atmosphere changed: surroundings got darker, but the lights became brighter and so are our thoughts – deeper and more aware of ourselves. The transformation begins with the first sip of the coffee and as Elizabeth Barkley put out: “I will never forget experiencing Venice for the first time. It feels like you are transported to another time – the art, music, food and pure romance in the air is like no other place.” Video installation was exhibited in Video Wall open air gallery: http://famulvideolab.wordpress.com/2013/11/07/video-wall-coffee-in-venice/

Multimedia artist Valerie Wolf Gang, born on 4th of December 1990, works in a field of video and contemporary art practices. She graduated on Secondary school of Design and Photography in Ljubljana and later made a diploma on School of Arts University of Nova Gorica with the title "Directors role in video installation" and got the BA title of "Digital arts and practices". She also complemented her knowledge and practice at Prague Film Academy FAMU. She is frequently working with a variety of media and creates multimedia installations that were exhibited in various galleries (Gallery Miklova HiÅ¡a, Gallery Central Station, Museum of Contemporary Art, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, Incubator Gallery Zagreb ...), her videos are screened at various festivals (Festival Motovun, IRFFI Estonia, Independent Film Festival, DigitalBigScreen ...) and cinemas (Filmcasino Vienna, Pančevo Serbia, Kinodvor, Kinoteka, Kiberpipa ...). She has been awarded the official status of Independent Cultural Worker, assigned by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. Currently she is actively involved in a variety of contemporary art and production areas, artist residences and continues her studies at the Master's degree of Media Arts and Practices in the field of contemporary art. "Valérie Wolf Gang is forming in the artist of the new generation, who is more sovereign, strong, uncompromisingly clear in her expressive power, while showing excellent knowledge of the techniques and media she uses." - Rene Rusjan, professor of Contemporary Arts "Demanding production practice which comprises the work of the artist, especially the quality and potential of its practice shows that Valérie Wolf Gang belongs to the group of the population that deserves the status of Independent Cultural Worker as well as other potential state support, mostly due to that its practice can be developed and maintained at a high artistic level, while able to exceed the boundary between art and its users." - Dr. Petja Grafenauer "In Valérie Wolf Gang's work, the sense of social and ideological alienation is played out through careful visual choice of materials and reconstructions. In her work one is made aware of the larger ideological or symbolic order through the actual material configurations being presented - that things can be about something else other than what they are made out to be." - dr.
