DANI MARTI is currently in Edinburgh undertaking an artist residency with Stills (Scotlands Centre for Photography), to develop new work within the frame of their exhibition program. Dani will be participating in the residency from October 2010 - March 2011.
Part II of Social Documents: The Ethics of Encounter will open Friday December 10, 2010. The exhibition will continue until the 6th March, 2011. "I don't create entertainment for the mass public. Seeing to the well-being and comfort of viewers isn't my intention. I don't care if someone gets a headache after watching this film. The world isn't a safe place...," Artur Zmijewski.

Part of Stills’ Social Documents series The Ethics of Encounter continues to explore particular facets of the marked rise in the documentation of social processes in contemporary lens-based art together with the associated turn towards documentary tropes. The exhibition will be accompanied by an additional film screening programme, a short course on the philosophy of ethics and artist talks. Monthly reading groups will examine texts related to the theme by the philosopher Jacques Rancier, the critic Claire Bishop and the artist Artur Zmijewski.
