Archives: Markéta’s Notes

Technecast

The contributor for this episode is Holly Antrum.This episode was recorded during the exhibition ‘Laura Mulvey and Peter Wollen: Intersections in Theory, Film and Art’, at Camera Austria in Graz (11 June - 14 August 2022). Final-year techne researcher Holly Antrum staged her paper-based artist multiple from within the show, Markéta’s Notes, as a podcast for technecast. Holly Antrum’s project involves filmmaking as an expanded practice. Markéta Hašková is a matrilineal counterpart developed by Holly Antrum to explore the navigation of archives through foregrounding interpersonal collection searches with subjectivity and tactility. She has used the medium of audio recordings that she makes and collects in her research, to underscore this episode, and shares and reflects upon Markéta’s Notes as a recently published aspect of her research. All recording in this episode has been produced in the locality of the project by the researcher at study desks including in the BFI archive viewing desk set within the BFI Southbank Reuben Library.The podcast introduces how she has engaged with conceptualizing a project centring on layers of real and fictional presences in the archive: originating through attending the archive at the BFI, and developing narration for feminist ‘fictioning’ and stepping back into the personal voice of the feminist artist-researcher. Markéta’s Notes was commissioned by the exhibition curators Nicolas Helm-Grovas and Oliver Fuke and by Camera Austria.

She works with lens-based media including 16mm film, as well as sound, print and writing, and her works approach public and closed live settings. A consistent theme is an attempt to capture tactile histories, while shifting how a document – written, sonic, or visual – might speak through its context and thereby reveal how certain spaces and landscapes are inhabited with meaning and influence.Her work has been shown widely in the UK and internationally, in galleries, DIY spaces, cinemas, online and in print, and is held within public and private collections. Her artist films are distributed by LUX Artists’ Moving Image and she is currently completing a techne AHRC-funded practice-based PhD with Special Collections at the British Film Institute, in partnership with Kingston School of Art. www.hollyantrum.com---Technecast:This episode is presented by Felix Clutson.The Technecast is funded by the Techne AHRC-DTP, and produced and edited by Polly Hember, Julien Clin, Felix Clutson, Edwin Gilson, Morag Thomas, and Olivia AaronsContact: [e-mail] / @technecast / @pollyhember / @ClinJulienMusic composed, performed and generously provided by Jennifer Doveton
