Premier-Divisions
Date – Friday 15th February 2013
Venue – Kuona Trust, Likoni Close
Time – 7 pm
Address – Likoni Lane,Off Dennis Pritt, Hurlingham

British Film and Video Artist, Chris Paul Daniels, presents work made in response to his five week residency at Kuona Trust, Nairobi supported by the Triangle Network and Gasworks Gallery (London) International Fellowship Programme.

Chris will have screenings and video installations on view throughout the grounds of the Kuona space and be performing Live Visuals that showcase filmic collaborations, animations and time-lapse studies made during his Residency accompanied by a live musical performance by Ketebul music’s recording artist Ochieng’ Nelly

The video work previews raw unedited footage of a larger documentary piece titled ‘Premier/Divisions’ which will premiere at Kuona Trust at a later date in March and will therefore be VJ’d as a freely improvised and live visual performance in reaction to the music.

About

He has worked on several international projects in Iceland, Sweden and the Netherlands and screened work extensively in the UK and internationally.

His work in characterised by experimental documentation of shared memories and communal perspectives and this will be reflected in the documentary he has been producing during his first visit to the continent.

Artist Presentation

Artist Presentation: by premier film producer – Ruby, Feb. 14 2013 @ Kuona Trust

Artist Presentation
After learning that Brand Kenya would have an exhibition centre during the Olympics, Ruby undertook a project to showcase to both tourists and investors aspects of our country which many people are not familiar with. She also wanted members of the Kenyan Diaspora to get a glimpse of how far we have come, particularly in the last 10 years.

The clip was shown at Kenya House in London and has since been uploaded onto YouTube having about 8,000 views in just 5 days.

Come interact with the artist and learn more about her work and experiences this Thursday, 14th February at Kuona Trust from 2pm.
