In this platform for mutual exchange twelve artists are given the opportunity to discuss their work with leading figure in film and contemporary art Emily Wardill, a Ghost 2565 participant artist.

During this day-long event, Wardill delivers a comprehensive reading of filmmaking in a masterclass lodged in today’s most pertinent questions and in her recent work on cinema’s potential to access imaginary forces—and the implications of that in our relationship to images. 

The “imagined image” connotes experiences overshadowed by myths, their ghosts, as well as utopias, concepts of the nation-state, dreams of all sorts where materiality that is never concrete nevertheless insinuates objects and forms. These ideas form the basis of the day’s discussions. Additionally, Wardill provides professional insight into the development of emerging artistic practices that challenge the boundaries and established categories of art production. Masterclass participants are asked to present their work, or work in progress, and together with Wardill explore concepts such as the outward ability of asking questions and how to preserve dialogue within works. The intimate encounter with this established artist is preceded by a public conversation (October 15, 16:00 at House) that reflects the class’s dynamic function as informal interchange with Wardill.

Open call deadline: October 3, 2022

Interested participants should send a short motivation on how they relate to the themes of the masterclass, resume, and/or portfolio to press@ghost2565.com. 

Participation is free and includes refreshments. The masterclass is conducted in English.
