PRESENTATION AT HIGH LEVEL RECEPTION OF WCC-3, SEP. 3 2009
We are pleased to announce Nin Brudermann’s project ‘Twelve O’Clock in London’ as part of the United Nations’ agenda on Millenium Development Goals. The first in a series of select screenings was presented September 3rd, 2009, within the framework of the World Climate Conference, to Heads of States and Governments at Victoria Hall, Geneva, preceding a concert by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Afterwards, the artist officially presented a symbolic weather balloon to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, as a central gesture of the international collaboration which the project brings to light.
Brudermann’s ‘Twelve O’Clock in London’ is a uniquely relevant collaboration (linking the arts, sciences and politics) that illuminates an inter-governmental action occurring daily at the strike of UTC 00.00h and 12.00h, as all nations synchronously launch meteorological balloons in order to realize a global observation of the atmosphere. Supported by the United Nations Special Agency, World Meteorological Organization, she has enlisted each individual nation to become active documentarians of their own action. For the first time, this one of a kind, unprecedented collaboration of all world governments is manifest in a one-channel video presentation which shows over 150 video submissions from around the globe.
By assembling a United Nations’ action as simple as the synchronous release of a balloon for presentations at high-profile receptions for world leaders, the artist is directly addressing an audience at the highest political level and rendering the presentation itself into an artist intervention, in keeping with the multivalent character of the artist’s inimitable works.
‘Twelve O’Clock in London’ is a sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts with funding provided by the New York State Council on the Arts and by the Greenwall Foundation New York.
