Innovative Curatorial Projects – Paris / SingaporeLowave Collection
Lowave's film and video collection has been built between 2002 and 2014 and features over 250 video artists and filmmakers from around the world. The label has contributed to an important number of international exhibitions, biennials, film and video festivals, as well as academic programmes. As Lowave's activities evolve, we have stopped our film distribution and our catalogue serves now as an archive that documents over a decade of film and video art history. A selection of our DVDs is on sale at Re:Voir in Paris.

Frederic Tachou
*1964, Bordeaux, France. Lives and works in France.
After being schooled in Bordeaux, Frédéric Tachou started his career by shooting a series of shorts of a rather conventional nature, shown on television. It was only at the end of the 1990s that he radically changed his cinematic orientation and produced a series of films of strictly political content. Close to Pierre Merejkowsky and the group of the Productions Aléatoires, he is one of the first experimental filmmakers to have benefited from the CNC’s selective grant for his film Reste là ! ; It is beyond doubt his most intimate and poetic movie, being, just like his previous movies, a research into cinematic language, rich and complex, manifesting a great formal inventiveness. Frédéric Tachou is a surprising filmmaker who doubles as a keen, modest and brilliant critic.
Kentaro Taki
*1973, Osaka, Japan. Lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
Kentaro Taki studied at the Musashino Art University. He made art of sounds and images with video and computer technology while focusing on the relationship between media-society and cityscapes.

Josephine Turalba is an interdisciplinary installation artist who incorporates video, sculpture, performance and sound into her artworks.
