Complete Communion Celebration

Jaro Straub & Matthew Burbidge Complete Communion Celebration Saturday, December 13, 2008 from 6pm-2am Five Thirty Three is proud to present for one evening, Complete Communion Celebration a video installation by Jaro Straub and Matthew Burbidge. Straub and Burbidge’s video installation Complete Communion Celebration is based on an eight-hour performance during which the artists juxtaposed improvised guitar sounds and voices with passages from Guy Debord’s autobiographical book Panegyric for an absent public, under a river-side bridge in Berlin. The performance is presented as two distinctly filmed parts, which are projected simultaneously: in one part the artists are performing in a seemingly interior space; in the other the sun is setting over a landscape, which rapidly becomes obscured in darkness. Complete Communion Celebration is part of the Belgian co-operative, Komplot’s, Architecture of Survival series.
