PRIMUS EROTICA - A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS STORY

To be screened at The Gershwin Hotel with Neke Carson on June 23rd 2009

– Ode to Ishtar and Dionysus
a film by Suzette Gemzøe and Thomas Seest, Transcendens Dilettante, Copenhagen 2009


Primus Erotica is a celebration of the forces of love and sexuality represented by two major gods Ishtar and Dionysus. Before Christianity, there were temples and rites for these matters, but Christianity transformed the gods into witches with major consequences for our emotional life. Playing with fire is a natural ingredient in all spiritual rites and has always been considered a dangerous act.


Three feet, three candles


8 edged star

"We have seen the new Lars Von Trier film; Anti Christ, and felt a need to outlive a symbolic spiritual rite, free from Christian interpretation - we are not Christian, nor anti-Christian, we are dealing with matters that concern 5.000 years of human civilization".

Recipe (for two persons)

2 persona
2 apples
alcohol
sugar and cinnamon
primus cooker and white spirit
harmonica
fire
(add cigarettes and wine according to temperament and style)

Gently peel apples, preferably in one long peel, until naked. remove
the core and cut the apples in half, horizontally so that a star
appears on each half. expose the apples to heat and fire, until dark
and soft and consume them with alcohol.
thus ingesting an ancient love potion and redirecting your senses
with the drug of alcohol you will both synchronously enter the
ever persisting realm of sexual energy, mutual desire and quiet,
weightless ecstasy. here Ishtar rules alongside Dionysus, forever
nursing an eight pointed star of fire that will eat you up, possess your bodies, liberate your senses, purify your minds and enable unified transcending energy.

ULTRA GRØN PÅ WONDERLAND ART SPACE
"Dét edderbixme teltede..."


ULTRA GRØN ER:
--Morten Leck Plesner og Christian Elovara Dinesen--

"I 2005 boede vi på samme tid i Barcelona, begge for at arbejde med kunst. Som et sideprojekt opstod en ide om en overlevelsestur i bjergene nord for Barcelona. 5 hårde dage med dåsemad, tømmerflåds bygning, overnatning under åben himmel i klippesprækker, garn graffiti og alt for lidt vand m.m. Resultatet, sygdomsperioder for begge, den ene slemmere end den anden, men ikke desto mindre opstod et samarbejde og en fælles interesse om oplevelser og kunst i naturen..".

TESLA

"We are whirling through endless space, with an inconceivable speed, all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere there is energy. There must be some way of availing ourselves of this energy more directly. Then, with the light obtained from the medium, with the power derived from it, with every form of energy obtained without effort, from the store forever inexhaustible, humanity will advance with giant strides. The mere contemplation of these magnificent possibilities expands our minds, strengthens our hopes and fills our hearts with supreme delight."

- Nikola Tesla, 1891

Below from The Orion Project

We live on a planet that is consistently producing a magnetic field that can be tapped into to power our everyday needs as a virtual free energy source. Through interactions between the inner core of our Earth and that of our Sun, there exists an enormous and vastly untapped source of power.



Nikola Tesla was among the first inventors to successfully extract and make use of this source. By pulling out electrons from the earth and surrounding atmosphere and amplifying the energy using a specific design of coils, he was then able to transmit approximately 100 million volts over an initial distance of 26 miles and illuminating a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran an electric generator, all without the use of transmission lines. Later, he nearly perfected this technology only to have it seized by groups that wanted the device destroyed and the knowledge hidden.



An inventor have recently been identified who has studied and understands this concept. He wishes to remain anonymous at this time, but his background is excellent for this work. The goal is to produce a proof of principle device that is capable of fully powering homes, offices and buildings. Once a successful device is produced, the technology behind the power generation will be scalable to run smaller equipment such as computers and mobile phones, and larger items, such as vehicles and large machinery.

ISLAK KÖPEK (WET DOG)


Islak Köpek’s original lineup of Korhan Erel (computer, electronics, melodica), Şevket Akıncı (electric and acoustic guitars), Volkan Terzioğlu (tenor saxophone) and Volkan Ergen (percussion, computer processing) had their first performance in the summer of 2005. Following a series of performances at Galataperform and Jazz Cafe, Dirk Stromberg (electric guitar) and Robert Reigle (tenor saxophone) joined the band in January 2006. The six-piece band played regular gigs at Galataperform as well as other venues and also did some recordings, some of which released as their first album at the end of 2008.

Volkan Ergen left in the summer of 2006 to pursue other musical interests. The five-piece band played at Transit Improvisation Days with Le Quan Ninh and Kirstie Simpson, and Yanaël Plummet in June 2006, followed by a sold-out concert at the Akbank Jazz Festival in September 2006. Dirk Stromberg left the band because of teaching opportunities in Vietnam in 2007.

The remaining four members continued playing venues and making recordings, particularly with musicians such as Richard Nunns, Christian Asplund, Olivier Germain-Noureux throughout 2007 and 2008. They performed at the Body-Process festival A.M.B.E.R. and the second Transit Festival. The band also performed and continues to do so with guest improvisors from the flourishing Turkish scene, such as Umut Caglar (proprietor of the first Turkish free jazz/improv online label www.rekonstrukt.com), Florent Merlet, Alex Toisoul, Jose Blasco, and David Brosset, all members of the Turkey-based French improv band Have You Seen My Bird.

2008 saw the joining of Dilek Acay on violin, who has been a steady member until her departure for studies in Germany end of March 2009. Kevin Davis on cello is a permanent member as of February 2009.

Islak Köpek have been doing a show on free improvisation and free jazz on Açık Radyo since May 2006, where they interviewed musicians such as Christian Asplund, Richard Nunns, Chris Cutler, and Kevin Davis. The band members performed in different combinations, including other artists in Turkey, the Netherlands, Romania, France, Belgium, Poland, Austria and Germany.

Islak Köpek’s line up as of February 2009 is:

Robert Reigle: Tenor saxophone
Volkan Terzioglu: Tenor saxophone

MICRO FINANCING ACCORDING TO MUHAMMAD YUNUS



Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of The Grameen Bank, speaks about his new book Creating a World Without Poverty.

Muhammad Yunus is founder and managing director of the Grameen Bank, established in Bangladesh in 1983. Dr. Yunus founded the bank with the objective of helping poor people escape from poverty by providing loans on terms suitable to them and by teaching them a few sound principles of finances so they can help themselves.

The Grameen Bank has advanced to the forefront of a burgeoning world movement toward eradicating poverty through micro-lending and its model has been replicated in over 100 countries worldwide.

2007-08, 2. samling - Svar på § 20-spørgsmål: Om Danmarks UNESCO-forpligtelser


The below is a question by Yildiz Akdogan (above) to the Danish Cultural Minister (at that time Mr. Brian Mikkelsen) regarding how hard it is for artist to get a visa to Denmark. She actually mentions The Triangle Project and the problems we had getting our Turkish artists to Denmark back in April 2007.

Spm. nr. S 1726

22) Til kulturministeren af:

Yildiz Akdogan (S):

Mener Kulturministeren, at Danmark lever op til sine UNESCO-forpligtigelser?

Skriftlig Begrundelse

Danmark har ratificeret »UNESCO's konvention om beskyttelse og fremme af de kulturelle udtryksformens mangfoldighed«. På trods heraf lyder det fra flere danske koncertarrangører, at reglerne for visum til ikkeeuropæiske kunstnere er så rigide og bureaukratiske, at man i flere tilfælde har måttet aflyse koncerter, fordi det har været umuligt at få et visum til de internationale kunstnere.


Yildiz Akdogan (S):

"Tak til kulturministeren. Jeg vil egentlig gerne starte med at remse to sager op, for muligvis mener kulturministeren, at vi lever op til vores forpligtelser i UNESCO-konventionen, men jeg kan så henvise til Kulturnyt fra den 25. april i år, hvoraf det fremgår, at billedkunstneren Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen havde inviteret en række kunstnere fra bl.a. Tyrkiet, hvor hensigten var at lave et såkaldt Triangle Project med besøg i henholdsvis New York, Istanbul og København, og der har Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen udtrykt bemærkninger om, at det har været enormt svært på grund af visumreglerne. Jeg citerer ham ordret: Vi fik lige lov til at være her og rejse hurtigt tilbage igen. Og det er altså et projekt, som varer over 3 år. Det synes jeg er lidt betænkeligt. Plus det at en af kunstnerne ikke fik lov til at komme herop, på grund af at han både var kunstner, altså musiker, og studerende. Det kan man så også tænke over.

Det andet eksempel, jeg vil tage op, er, at Peter Hvalkof, som er arrangør af verdensmusik for Roskilde Festival (og booker på GLOBAL CPH), siger, at man allerede i udvalgsprocessen faktisk tænker over, om det kan betale sig både sagsmæssigt og proceduremæssigt at få bestemte kunstnere fra bestemte lande herop, og det er egentlig meget bekymrende, når man tænker på, at man allerede i den her planlægningsfase skal tænke over, om det kan betale sig, fordi der er den risiko, at koncerterne kan gå hen og blive aflyst på grund af visumreglerne.

Som ministeren også korrekt sagde, så er der nedsat den her ekspertgruppe i EU-regi, som vil kigge på det, men det er først til december, der skal kigges på det. Nu er vi i sommerperioden på vej mod festivalarrangementer og byfester, og trods ministerens begrundelse med, at det hører under integrationsministeren, vil jeg egentlig gerne spørge: Overholder vi virkelig UNESCO-konventionen? Det er kun to eksempler, jeg har nævnt, der er mange flere."

Gordon Inc's World - Istanbul



Gordon Inc who was part of Part 4 in Istanbul has since October been
writing his own blog called "Gordons Verden" or Gordon's World or Mondo Gordon..

In the short text below from one of his posts, he salutes Istanbul:

"Istanbul, min elskede. Jeg har kun kendt dig en lille måned, alligevel har du brændt dig ind i min sjæl. Istanbul, jeg har stridt op ad dine stejle trapper og ned ad stejle gader, for at nå ind til dit hjerte, men dit hjerte er endeløst, troløst og alt for stort.

Oh, Istanbul, du har kørt mig træt som ingen anden kvinde. Du er altopslugende og udmattende og altomfattende. Istanbul, du er larm og dyttende gule taxier og mylder, hullede gader og forfald.

Istanbul, du er i hver eneste af de millioner af magiske katte som det siges at sjælene fra fordums indbyggere, overvintrer i. Istanbul, du er den sitrende rastløshed og den evige strøm i Istiklals myldende menneskemængder en hvilken som helst dag eller nat i alle døgnets 24 timer.

For Istanbul, du er evig og ubesejret.

Galeri Splendid - a New Gallery in Istanbul



Curated by Derya Demir (who is also part of The Triangle Project)and Leyla Gediz, The Bitch Is Sleeping, an exhibition covering all spheres and types of fetishism, takes place at various fetishistic landmarks of İstiklal Caddesi and also at Karşı Sanat and Gallery Splendid from November 19 to December 19.

The idea for the exhibition derived from the conference focusing on interdisciplinary research on fetishism titled "Substitute Lack!/Accept No Substitutes!" organized by ./independent scholars from 26 to 28 November. (www.independentscholars.org) The appearance of fetishism in an academic context led to the idea of organizing a parallel exhibition, engendering a fresh movement across the Istanbul art scene.

Based at Karşı Sanat (where The Triangle Project Part 4 also exhibited) and Gallery Splendid, the stops of the exhibition include almost all the historical and seductive shops along İstiklal Caddesi. The Bitch is Sleeping is also the opening exhibition of Gallery Splendid founded by Leyla Gediz and Derya Demir.

The nightclub Dogzstar will feature Monday daytime screenings of films related to the subject: The exhibition touches upon sexual fetishism in Bruce LaBruce's "No skin of my ass" and Brice Dellsperger's "Body Double X", both films where body parts are the focus of fetishism. Richard Van Loot's colourful video "Rate Allegorique No.1" will be shown between the two films.

The work of three artists will be presented at Gallery Splendid. Strands of "hair" Elçin Poyraz has delivered from the source of fetishism, Kaan Karacehennem's series of photographs of homosexuals hiding their faces and Barış Doğrusöz's videos titled "7 ways to fake a perfect skin", each an animated canvas, are the first works to be exhibited at the magnificent Gallery Splendid.

Conceptual framework of the İstanbul Biennial 2009



The 11th International Istanbul Biennial's conceptual framework has been announced by the Biennial curators WHW (What, How & for Whom) at the Biennial press conference.
The 11th International Istanbul Biennial will take place between 12 September-8 November 2009 and takes its title, "What Keeps Mankind Alive?" from the closing song of the second act of Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera, written 80 years ago.

According to WHW, the question "What Keeps Mankind Alive?" seems to be more urgent and topical than when it was first posed by Brecht in 1928. The conceptual framework of the 11th International Istanbul Biennial "What Keeps Mankind Alive?" will serve as a trigger, as well as a certain script for the exhibition, allowing us and the artists to pose questions of economic and social urgency today.

The curators of the 11th International Istanbul Biennial What, How & for Whom / WHW is made up of four women: Ana Devic, Natasa Ilic, Sabina Sabolovic and Ivet Curlin, who studied Art History and Comparative Literature in the University of Zagreb. WHW was formed in 1999; based in Zagreb, Croatia, and since 2003 has been directing the program of Gallery Nova -non-profit, city-owned gallery in Zagreb. For the social dimensions of their work in contemporary art since 1989, WHW has been awarded the first Igor Zabel Culture & Theory Award by the ERSTE Foundation.

The 11th International Istanbul Biennial will take place between the dates
12 September-8 November 2009.

SNÖLEOPARDEN


A strong fascination for world music has led Jonas Stampe to travel a lot, especially in India, Pakistan and Morocco. In ’98 he spend one year in India as a sitar-student under Ravi Shankar, and in ’99 he was a part of Ravi Shankars live-group on a tour in the UK.

"The snowleopard is so cool - it makes its own instruments - makes its own drugs - makes its, whole and completely, own kind of music which you cant hear anywhere else in this cosmic zoo. The snowleopards favourite colour is green. its favourite stones are chrystal and agathy. its level of inspiration is light purple."

"Have you ever come home from the pub and watched Sesame Street? It's good isn't it? Listening to Snoleoparden is a very similar experience... If there's a child left in you, it'll want to spend some time with Snoleoparden. At the end of the day, if this doesn't put you in a good mood, nothing will."

"MADE IN TEHRACAS" by Dj Hugo Chavez & Vj Ahmedinejad


Dj Hugo Chavez & Vj Ahmedinejad will perform "MADE IN TEHRACAS" at GLOBAL CPH on October 18th, 2008. A new multimedia art project from Tehran & Caracas investigating culturalistic clicés and their effects on the economical and political situation of individuals; "Against the Walls and Against the Bridges". Dj Hugo Chavez & Vj Ahmedinejad Project focuses on media literacy, the role of advertising and corporate power in our lives, intellectual property issues and the evolution of art, law and resistance in a media-saturated multi-national world and deconstructing Turkish films from the 60s and 70s and the Ethnic Market and East-West gateway clichés about Istanbul and creates bizarre new forms similar to the kaleidoscope effect with Middle Eastern Uranium and South America's Bolivar.

THE ISTANBUL POTLUCK DINNER


Dear Friend of The Triangle Project,

Come and join our Potluck Dinner!
The concept of a Potluck dinner is an Native American custom, where each person
coming to the dinner brings their own special dish to share with the others.
We ask you to come to our dinner with a dish of food that you love and want to share
with rest of the guests. Since there will be many different nationalities at the
dinner, expect a variety of different food, including appetizers and dessert.
Please also bring your own drink of choice.

We look forward to share and taste with you.

Bon Apetit!

I'm a Turkish woman, who was born and brought up in
Denmark. This gives me a double perspective, hereby I
don´t mean that everyone with a bi-cultural background
necesarely have the thoughts and perspectives that I have.
I know that I am very special in many ways and also very sensitive.

Sometimes I write short stories and poems.
Poems in Danish and short stories in Turkish.
I'm also in a film association club, called World
Cinema DK. Here we choose film from around the world to show Danes different cultures in order to help the integration of Danes and ethnic minorities.


What I really want to do with my art is to create
political and social awareness. Human rights and ethnic rights in
a Western European multicultural setting.

Exclusive for the Triangle project (part 4) in Istanbul we have created a limited edition of mixtapes - 22 to be exact! The tapes are based on material from Danish arties like Gustav Winckler, Keld Heick, Johnny Reimar, Gitte Hænning, Anne Grete and many more. Cut into pieces and randomly mixed together the tapes create a mosaic of what some would characterise "the Danish music-treasure". The tapes includes tunes like "Rocken gav mig alt" (Rock music gave me everything), "Spil Whist igen" (Play Whist again), "Jeg gir mit humør en gang lak" (I'll apply some vanish to my mood), "Hils fra mig derhjemme" (Say hello from me at home) and "Lidt go' musik gør alle glade" (A little music makes everybody happy). We will hand out the tapes at the exhibition closing date. Don't miss!

Mille Kalsmose-Hjelmborg



Video: “Who do you THINK you are” - 2008

Mille Kalsmose-Hjelmborg is making art on the borders between the traditional genres and traditional concept of art on the one side, and art as a genuine part of our lived lives, on the other.

Her work is staged as an enquiry of what it is - actions, decisions, history, a moment in time - that makes us ourselves. Her work is conceptual, but also grounded in process, as her every day life has a direct influence on her artworks. In this sense Mille’ s work is autobiographical: the artworks and reality are intimately connected in the process of creation.

She creates new connections between the individual world of experience, and the social reality permanently changing.
Here we exist in a constant tension between loosing our identity through the innumerable social relations and networks in which we are constantly being absorbed, and the need to confront this process of demolition through the permanent reshaping of our own identity.
It is crucial that this reshaping must not be an excluding process negatively directed towards the other person, but in stead must be able to receive him in his unique existence.

Thus new concepts of individual identity must be developed leading to binding social relations, and this is the task that Mille Kalsmose-Hjelmborg undertakes through her art.

The Triangle Project Part 4 – Fill In Blank Space


I went to get a loan and they asked my race
I wrote down human inside the space


Beastie Boys “To The Five Boroughs”



The fourth episode of The Triangle Project Adventure is subtitled: Fill In Blank Space.
The title opens up onto an understanding of space that playfully challenges the given notions of urban space.

The order to fill in the blank space raises different connotations. On one hand to a civic (perhaps even restraining) system of formulas and information retrieval attempting to formulate and control the urban landscape and culture, on the other hand the title opens up to a more positive blank space of possibility.

The blank space is used as a method to transform any predefined space into a blank space; a piece of white paper; a clean slate; a new common ground from where new ideas can grow and blossom.
The blank space turns our ideas of space and space belongings, upside down and leaves the clear definition behind in favor of the empty potential space; the space in which a true meeting can occur.

The blank space is honest to the potentiality of the meeting between cities, cultures and people, erasing all prejudices and stereotypical notions beforehand.
The blank space can be found (or claimed) in the art space, the club scene or in public.
The blank space is not yet defined; it is for everybody to fill in…

Triangle Project Part 4 – Fill in Blank Space
On the Streets

- intents and purposes

As Triangle Project returns to Istanbul, it's with an almost entirely new group of Danish artists and musicians representing a different part of the Danish underground cultural scene: people who take the streets as a natural setting for creation. Over the past year, this art form has seen a major revival and represents one of the most interesting cultural developments in Copenhagen in recent years. It is this experience we want to bring with us to Istanbul. Our main aim will therefore be to take Triangle out of the clubs and galleries and into the streets.


The Global Village?


With the overall purpose of the Triangle Project being a meeting between cultures, it's interesting to note that clubs and galleries often end up as representatives of a Global Village. This, in the sense that no matter how great the geographical distance, they are still the harbingers of cultural similarity. This is displayed in the social groupings that show up, the established rules for interaction, product orientation, at least a semi-commercial context and to some degree also the same artistic and musical tendencies.


That's not to say that they have nothing to offer! They often provide the financial basis as well as a socially and legally acceptable framework for developing and exhibiting new cultural tendencies. Still there's no doubt that something does get lost in that process – and it is this something we want to regain as a complement to the other parts of the project.


Dogmas


The advantages of working in the public space are manifold. We'll be able to reach a wider spectrum of the population. The art work and music will be forced to interact with and reflect on the local context. This will put the process – as opposed to a finished product – at the forefront of the project. The unpredictability of the situation will also enable us to regain an aspect of spontaneity that often gets lost when trapped between four walls.
So artistically speaking, the project is based on a set of dogmas that can be summed up as:
  • Public Space
  • Target group: wider spectrum of the population
  • Interaction
  • Process-oriented
  • Do It Yourself (D.I.Y.)

The Streets as a cultural meeting


For the three days of this project, everybody will meet up with an open mind, limited materials, divide into groups and prepare for excursions to different locations in Istanbul. Depending on the possibilities, one can expect projections from a ”cinema in a bag”, distorted radio transmissions, street art a'la jewels, posters, chalk paintings, pearl workshops, printing workshops, mobile acoustic jam sessions... and anything you might want to add.


We hope a lot of people from Istanbul will join in. Either by defining their own street interventions, contributing to some of ours, providing us with know-how, documenting the different events, helping us with translations and communication ... or simply for having a good time.


The intention is to create situations that will redraw a pre-defined public space and turn it into a blank space to be filled in by everybody anew. It thereby becomes an empty potential space that can constitute the foundation for a new and more direct form of communication – a tool used to create the basis for a more unmediated meeting between cultures.


Even in Copenhagen, these types of interventions have unpredictable outcomes. By putting ourselves in a context that we know near to nothing about, it becomes almost impossible to second guess. This is pushed to the limit by the fact that we have no permissions to do street happenings. Nor do we have a budget to rely on. Still it is also on the streets that we'll learn most about both the cultural differences and similarities.The uncertainty and unpredictability of the project therefore not only represents its greatest challenge – artistically, culturally and socially – but is precisely what gives it its greatest potential.

THEIS WENDT

My work deals with the understanding of space and human behaviour. Hierarchy, architectural and social relations are challenged and staged in spaces where “reality” and abstracted forms are merged together in another space.


Figures that we know perform actions out of its usual context, showing no clue of logical behavioural systems, in spaces where floating and sometimes almost organic holes creates an idea of something else.


A gap in time, a flaw in architecture, an empty face and twisted social environments are presented through drawings, paintings, installations or whatever media fits the context of the piece.


I seek and wish to present works that moves in and out of contemporary discourses, raising questions on the ideas of right and wrong, but never presented in a dictating way.

I am Gordon Inc. Danish writer and multi-artist, 44, named after the American cartoon-hero Flash Gordon.

I have written 3 books, done numerous spoken word-shows and movies, castrated myself in public television and exhibited myself naked in a glass cage for 32 days at an art-gallery under the title "Man is the greatest work of art."

I am in Istanbul to seek inspiration and knowledge and do a spoken word preaching about the unifications of all religions, hopefully in the Hagia Sophia.

After my visit to Istanbul I will travel on to Aleppo, Damaskus, Bagdad and Iran.



I come as a friendly ambassador from Denmark. I consider myself as a spiritual rock`n`roller.
My mission is to re-brand the name of Denmark in a positive way in the middle east.

Things said about Bitmobilen:

"Der er helt anderledes fart over feltet, da den unge danske duo Bitmobilen på miniscenen giver sig i kast med deres gamle Gameboys omdannet til primitive spillemaskiner. Med morsomheder som 'Der er fandeme ikke nogen, der skal købe vores musik lovligt' og et uregerligt kropssprog er det komplet lige meget, hvor meget af deres musik der er håndspillet eller ej. For i kroppenes rasende begejstring og musikkens unge opdagelse - stadig i sin kompositoriske verden - er der grøn energi nok til en hel festival. En værdig afslutning på campingteltets fortrinsvise opdyrkning af den danske talentmasse."

CLAUS ANKERSEN



Danish Artist and intergalactic traveller, working situationistically with spokenwords and live-literature, poetry, fiction, installation, video- and soundscapes, painting and various cross-over forms. Originally educated in Cultural Anthropology and Communications at Universities in Aarhus (AAU), Copenhagen (KU) and Santa Barbara (UCSB), Claus Ankersen constantly examines and questions the human condition. Claus Ankersen has been instrumental in the development of Danish spoken word, and is a legendary figure in Danish Slam Poetry, although he only competes with him self and his artistic strive towards deeper understanding of man.

Claus Ankersen is a multifacetted artistic and creative fountainhead, he works situationalistically, exploring and channeling the chaotic here and now into text, spoken words, sound- and videoscapes, installation, paintings or whatever expression suits.



As part of the triangle project # 4, I will exhibit video installation and do live performance in clubs and outdoor. I will seek to coorperate with the tyrkish artists. I will also do live painting outside.
I will try to create new material while in Istanbul, reflecting the contextual atmosphere. I would love to cooperate with musicians and dj's performing spokenword poetry in clubs or outdoor
I would love to work with artists, creating artwork and installation in situ
I would also like to cook
I would love to show videoinstallations outside, projected onto walls
Also live outdoor performance poetry, lovely to coop. with tyrkish poets and performers as well
I believe in being togetherness and would like to continue and explore further the relationships founded during The Triangle Project part # 2 and # 3
I am also in continuos process of documenting and reflecting upon The Triangle in words and works

MATTER OUT OF PLACE.



Like New York, Istanbul is several worlds in one. But perhaps even more segregated onto fragments with little or no interaction. Thus we are dealing with hyper-fragmentet cultural realities in the
same city, with an enormus difference betwen rich and poor, between classes and kinds.

Writing these lines, I am compelled to explore this dynamic by deploying a matter-out-of-place tactic, pondering the quirky effects it could have to present art -in contexts where the majority of art
consumption is somewhat differently focussed. Taking the arts to the streets is one thing, taking the street art into the fine salons, is another. Thus presenting revolutionary spokenword monologues for an upper-class segment, for instance will have a greater impact, than if presented in a street culture: Examples:
Dinner readings – I would like to read for people while they eat (private contexts)
TV and Broadcast – To reach as great a segment as possible
Executive VIP readings

Put poetry on the streets
Put poetry everywhere


Another thing I would like to do, is live commenting people in the streets with megaphone or PA (everybody with' green hair, please report to the mayors office at this instant, everybody with moustaches.. etc.. perhaps in cooperation with a turkish artist that can do instant translation and shout the same in turkish..or the opposite)



Summing up these lines, I am all for communitas and coorperation, curious, creative and focussed on playfully grasping a hold of the big old here-and-now, and see how it can be molded into some kind of expression, making a point, and hopefully making a difference.

With the opportunity for constant presence, I see jewellery as pure potential!! Potential to not only adorn & distinguish ourselves, but to move, to remind, to manifest, to save, to flash or reveal, it is potential to react, question, push, pull, kick, scream, touch, play & experience in a world much defined by our belongings -if not our longing to belong…


The work is mainly based on curiosities and questioning of the world around me. I seek to create profound connections between the wearer and the jewellery, thus generating physical and metaphorical contact to the self when worn.

Utilising the fact that there is a quite intimate relation between the jewellery and the wearer, as well as the fact that jewellery has the ability to seduce the viewer, remarks, juxtapositions and curious investigations can be made on personal value and signal value through jewellery. I see the body as a very obvious medium for carrying reflections on the human condition, as well as showing social and visual influences of our time. These influences may show as a questioning of the conventional and general perceptions i.e. by using the symbolism of leaving a mark -as when passing on something which is precious to us.


My choices of materials vary according to the character and scale of project।

Soren Thilo Funder














The central aspect of my works presents an undefined moment in time from where one can reflect on contemporary society. It is an almost dystopic vision, in which power relations, structures of society and behavioral patterns undergo massive breakdowns.

The works often depict sceneries revolving around an uncertain event that has happened or has yet to happen, a significant event, a collapse of the existing structures in society.

From this other space before and after the event, the potentiality to reflect on the world and human nature in new perspectives, arise.

The depicted Dystopia is therefore never a negative realm of pure stagnation but rather an engine for potentiality. It creates a space of pure potentiality and its characters are vessels of this, yet to be defined, potentiality.



The works, often moving in the cinematic and fictive narrative, insist on a certain link to some form of surrounding “reality”. The scenarios are rearrangements of a given functional space; the performances present natural bodies; the choreographies become exercises and rituals in which the individual flaws penetrate the uniform; and the themes and issues at hand is to be found in the worlds political “reality”; a “reality” that is continuously challenged on the fragility of its own concept, by the metaphysical and the paranormal.

It is a projection into an unknown world of becoming, in sequences of time that seem to repeat and yet evolve, though always completely rooted in the present and in this presents perception of “reality”. In the words of Philip K. Dick: “Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."

The works draw on specific theoretical sources such as Foucault, Badrillard, Arendt, Ranciere and Badiou, but also psychoanalysis is used with references to Lacan and Zizek. Literary works of fiction also appear as sources of inspiration, numerous writers such as K. Dick, Bradbury, Orwell, Sartre, Hesse and Baudelaire.


It is a meeting between a contemporary political “reality” and the power relations within it, and the fictive construction from where this “reality” can be flipped upside down and be seen in a new perspective that is the point of tension in my art project.

We are Bitmobilen and we make music on gameboys. Our influences come
from a lot of different places but the tracks usually end up sounding
something like dub step, grime, drum n' bass, jungle, gabba and
bassically bass music. We like to raise heart rhythms. beeeop.

Our music often starts out in all kinds of genres and quite a few
songs have been made while traveling around europe. But mostly we make
it in a small bedroom in copenhagen and play at local places so we're
looking forward to taking our sound with us and expecting that it will
lead to some interesting reactions and confrontations.

So we're coming with a backpack full of cords and gameboys and we're
looking for some good times in the streets, early mornings and flea markets.
We're always looking for new ways and inspiration which is the main
objective so if you're a turkish mc, street singer, circuit bender or
you just want to stomp the ground then come see us!

KARGOLOGY


The Project: The performance/public intervention project KARGOLOGY is an investigation of information patterns in public space as well as the ways individual people experience the constant flow of information in the city.

KARGO have been taking their starting point in the idea of an information free utopia. What if the city would be wiped clean over night? It would be an impossible task to delete all information, but the group have used one whole week in Vienna to delete as much information as possible, simply by painting signs, shops, commercials, pictograms, posters and maps white on their way. They have been painting white as an attempt to create a clean, open, free space. A public white cube. A space where every person in the city is free to insert his or her own information.

KARGO has no intention of asserting a theory regarding the subject though. The project is more about carrying out an experiment and let the public react Documentation of the experiment are presented along with thoughts on the subject in a performance with live music and video projections. As the project will be shown more times, more public interventions will be made in the cities where it will be shown, and subsequently more documentation of street action will be integrated.

An installation for the performance is constructed, in which the performance is live-recorded and played next to repetitions of the same performance again and again, thus allowing more and more layers of information and reflections to be assigned.

KARGOLOGY has been shown at The Triangle Project in Istanbul as a part of the 10th Istanbul Biennial, as
well as in MAK Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Atoi

Atoi is a band from Copenhagen, Denmark that reaches for treads to hold on to which turns in to funny balls of yarn and colorful sweaters. The music is knit together by 5 persons that in assembly creates the diverse outcome, played with an ever changing instrumentation and odd pop melodies combined to the modern sound of today.



Atoi has been a figure in the underground for some time, and has played concerts at some of the most recognized venues in Denmark: Roskilde festival 2007, Public Service 2005, Norberg festival (Sweden) 2006. Atoi has released their cover of Björk’s “Army of me” on Björk’s own record ‘Army of me - Remixes and Covers’.

Dansk Fløde (translated Danish Cream)

-Dansk Floede is Art Rock presented with more visuals than an acid trip gone wrong!

The encounter with Dansk Floede is a rock band flirting with punk, garage, electronic and ska elements. The music is inspired by White Stripes, Velvet Underground, Laurie Anderson and Chicks on Speed. Recently the band performed with Norwiegen opera star Tuva Semmingsen in a punk version of "Carmen".

"it..s beautiful worked thru Lo-Fi. It reminds you about pop-geniuses from the 60..s like Joe Meek, and his overdrive experiments or Phil Spector and his Wall of Sound. And then the songs are both easy to sing, funny, provocative - deep and blindly hopeful. With worked though naivness.”

ABC No Rio

"ABC No Rio is a collectively-run center for art and activism. We are known internationally as a venue for oppositional culture. ABC No Rio was founded in 1980 by artists committed to political and social engagement and we retain these values to the present.

We seek to facilitate cross-pollination between artists and activists. ABC No Rio is a place where people share resources and ideas to impact society, culture, and community. We believe that art and activism should be for everyone, not just the professionals, experts, and cognoscenti. Our dream is a cadres of actively aware artists and artfully aware activists.

Our community is defined by a set of shared values and convictions. It is both a local and international community. It is a community committed to social justice, equality, anti-authoritarianism, autonomous action, collective processes, and to nurturing alternative structures and institutions operating on such principles. Our community includes artists and activists whose work promotes critical analysis and an expanded vision of possibility for our lives and the lives of our neighborhoods, cities, and societies.

It includes punks who embrace the Do-It-Yourself ethos, express positive outrage, and reject corporate commercialism. It includes nomads, squatters, fringe dwellers, and those among society's disenfrachised who find at ABC No Rio a place to be heard and valued."

ATATÜRK DECLARES!




“Sirs, all of you can be a Member of Parliament, can be a Minister you can even be President of the Rebublic but you can not be artists. Let us esteem those children that have devoted their lives to a great art.”








and:

“A nation, when deprived of art and artists, can not have a complete life”

and:

“Developing art and national culture is the principal element to exalt the Nation”

Atatürk had pointed out the importance of Turkish art in the nation’s life, and emphasised that Turkish arts were to reach contemporary civilisatory levels by progressive efforts.

His principal ideal and desire for the Turkish Nation has a background steeped in art and culture and is to reach a proper level in art and culture.

and:

“It is necessary consider the people’s musical needs as well. Thorough training in music is necessary for the people to get used to western music and like it. “

and:

“Friends, I know how you want our young generation to be advance in all kinds of fine arts. That, it has been doing. But in my opinion, the Turkish music has priority and urgency in this respect. The measure for the transformation of the nation is to be perceived by the changes in music. The music that they dare us to listen to today is far something to take pride in. It is necessary to collect the high expression and statements of the nation expressing fine emotions and ideas, and to work on them within the general rules of music."

and on Culture:

"The foundation of The Republic of Turkey is culture. I don’t need to explain this expression here once more. This has been determined as the work done in the schools of the Turkish Republic in each case. Culture means to read, to comprehend, to be able to see, and to make sense of what you see, to think and to educate the mind".

and:

"If a nation possessing no art can be conceived of, one of its vital vessels is cut off".





"The great current ideas of the world that provided the independence of the world’s principal nations are opposed to individuals who try to find administrative solutions within rotten systems". (1923)








and:

"We mean, in a summary, the work of a society in cultural life, economical life and state life is civilization nothing else". (Atatürk, 1929)

bodig & ART ON STAGE presents:
lucy

20 March – 20 April 2008

a cross-disciplinary exhibition at three sites for contemporary art, Istanbul

ura, studio live, platform garanti
exhibition – performances – workshop – meeting
lucy, the first collaboration between ART ON STAGE, founded with the mission to attract new followers in contemporary art and bodig, known for its projects questioning the relationship between new media technologies and the body; is inspired by the fluctuating inner world of a fastidious, bohemian, ecstatic, fragile, creative and powerful new generation.


21 March 2008, 19:30 at URA!

The exhibition invites this generation and their contemporaries to reunite with their imaginary friends, to confront their spontaneous decisions, to listen to and hum together non-existent melodies that linger in their heads, to participate in the primitive quality of the notion of time, and to go back home with one red apple after spending two hours at a vegetable market.

participating artists:

Phil Collins (UK), Beliz Demircioğlu (TR), Andre Gonçalves (PT), Ha za vu zu (TR), Ana Husman (HR), Sara Nuytemans (NL), Oliver Pietsch (DE), Rudolfo Quintas (PT)

lucy exhibition co-curated by Derya Demir and Aylin Kalem.

20 March 2008, 21:30 at Studio Live

During the exhibition, on the last date when night is longer than day, artists Rudolfo Quintas and Andre Gonçalves invite viewers with their lighters and matches to an interactive sound performance, 'burning sound' they are going to perform at Studio-Live. In their performance the artists analyze the contemporary strategies of invisible control, using fire.

The event will begin with a performance by one of the most innovative composers in Turkey, performance artist and sound designer Tolga Tüzün (TR) and before 'burning the sound' Bisnov Project (TR) will present a performance featuring processed real-time images of the physical body. After 'burning the sound', the night will conclude with Diana Combo's (PT) performance where she is going to try to make everyone hear and believe that brand new spots and lines appear on her records every time they are listened to, by burning them, breaking them and gluing the pieces back together.

performance artists:

Tolga Tüzün (TR), Ururu (TR), Rudolfo Quintas & André Gonçalves (PT), Diana Combo (PT)


22nd March 2008, 18:00 at Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center

Artists Sara Nuytemans and Rudolfo Quintas speak on how they turn their imaginary worlds into reality using media technologies. Andre Gonçalves will go one step further by organizing a one-day long arduino* workshop. ( *arduino: is an open source electronic prototyping device for creating interactive objects and environments.)

BABA ZULA

Founded in Istanbul in 1996, Baba Zula feautures founding members Levent Akman (percussion, rhythm machines,toys), Murat Ertel (saz and other strings,vocal), as well as darbuka player Coşar Kamçı who replaced original member Emre Onel in 2005. BaBa Zula added live drawing artist Ceren Oykut into the mix in 2004. Her presence onstage has added an important visual aspect to BaBa Zula's live performances.

Baba Zula go to great lengths to provide their fans with a unique live show experience. Their ritual like performances are a mixture of disciplines of art, often featuring belly dancers, elaborate costumes, poetry, theatre and live animation, delivering viewers a tantalizing audio-visual feast.

By mixing oriental instruments such as the darbuka, electric saz, and spoons with electronics and modern sounds, BaBa Zula creates a sound all their own called "Oriental Dub". While a ney can represent the past Sufi-Islamic tradition, and a clarinet is the symbol of the music of the Turkish gypsies-an electric saz together with a wooden spoon can serve as musical compass to Turkish musical roots going as far back as pre-Islamic, shamanic times, through Anatolia reaches all the way up to present-day Istanbul.Despite sounds that might initially come to mind when one hears the phrase "Oriental Dub", Baba Zula's music is in fact rock'n roll that rolls in a way that westerners haven't heard since the late '60s rock epoch. Baba Zula share their legacy with us through their music, a music born out of Istanbul and influenced by the memories of Istanbul passed on to them from generations past.


Baba Zula will play at INKONST in Malmö/Sweden on April 5th 2008, as part of The Triangle Project


The Egyptian Lover

Los Angeles-based producer Greg Broussard was the man behind pioneering hip-hop/electro fusion artist the Egyptian Lover. Comparable in influence to Soul Sonic Force's "Planet Rock", Man Parrish's "Hip-Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)" and Pretty Tony's "Jam theBox", Egyptian Lover singles such as "Egypt, Egypt", "My Beat Goes Boom", "Dance" and "What is a DJ If He Can't Scratch?" combined the abstract electronics of Kraftwerk and the Art of Noise with the emerging beat-heavy sound of electro and the vocal approach of rap.

Similar in style and feel to those other artists, Egyptian Lover and related West Coast electro groups and producers such as World Class Wrecking Cru, Chris "The Glove" Taylor and the Unknown DJ took beatbox manipulation to new levels, fusing signature loops with ample syncopation, darker, modal melodies and impressive turntable tricks. While Egyptian Lover records didn't start appearing until several years after the New York and Miami electro scenes were already in full swing, by the mid-'80s Egyptian Lover cuts like Egypt, Egypt" were standards among club DJs, particularly in the breakdance scene.



On April 9th The Egyptian Lover will play at RUST in Copenhagen.
An Old School DJ crew from The Triangle Project will also be part of the night, singing "Egypt, Egypt" to themselves, just like they did when they first heard it with their still rather pure ears ...

ISTANBUL'S "ASHURA" PERFORMANCE TO MALMÖ'S INKONST IN APRIL 2008

In connection with The Triangle Project collaboration with INKONST on April 5th, there will also be a performance at Inkonst's theater space.



Dressed in simple black attire, they roam on the stage, lost and alien, through the fragile borders of a labyrinth of bottles, accompanied only by age-old restlessness and by ancient chants.
Ashura puts on stage the relationship with the “other”, the neighbour, aggressiveness, the domination of cultures, the adventure of exile, the tragedy of migration. It is the story of Anatolia, a region in Turkey that was once multi-lingual and multi-culture, where the large monotheist religions cohabited, met and clashed: a 20th century land reduced to socio-cultural standardisation.

But what makes this “stage concert” exciting is how Mustafa and Ovül Avkıran have succeeded in creating a meta-historical narration by bringing together traditional dance with gleanings of contemporary theatre, ritual movements with demographical statistics, sacred voices with profane uttering. Harmonising the whole with music: songs whose common denominators are the rhythmsand modes of folklore, but from which chants in Copt, Armenian, Hebrew, Zazaki, Turkish, Kurd and Greek rise, thanks to perfectly pitched voices that are very different in terms of style, like those of Sema and Harun Ates, the famous Turkish contralto.

“Ashura” is the dish Noah prepared after the deluge. For various reasons, the day of the Ashura is a religious recurrence for Jews and Muslims, for Armenians and Zoroastrians. “Its name is as old as the history of man,” Avkıran explains. “It comes from the past to show us that the routes of exile are today on the move”.


Mustafa Avkiran was born in 1963 and is a theatre director and actor.

Ovül Avkiran was born in 1971 and is a choreographer, dancer and actress. In 1995 they established 5.Sokak Tiyatrosu (Theatre of the fifth street) that is today one of the most acclaimed Turkish companies on the international scene. 5.Sokak Tiyatrosu is the founder of “garajistanbul”, a newly established contemporary performing centre in Istanbul.

The Danish-Argentinean artist couple Thyra Hilden & Pio Diaz destabilize European cultural history by setting buildings and monuments on fire.

The duo set the monuments of western cultural history on fire in their joint and ongoing video project “City on Fire.” With their seductive and spectacular artistic gesture, they reveal the fragile and transitory nature of these man-made constructions, and thereby destabilize prevailing order. The old monuments serve as weighty expressions for western culture and identity, and have to a certain extent functioned as templates for later constructions in cultural history. As such they constitute a physical foundation for western self-understanding, which the two artists unpack and recast in their edgy work.

City on Fire first came into being in 2005 when artists Thyra Hilden and Pio Diaz created their first installations in Rome. From the outset, it was the artists´ intention to re-create the installation at other venues of great symbolic significance in the Western world. Still, the symbolic value of Rome as the first site was particularly important to Hilden and Diaz.



Aesthetic manifest

The subtitle of the project is ‘Burning the Roots of Western Culture’ and even if City on Fire is not a political instrument – rather it is an aesthetic manifest – the very substance of the work holds the desire to highlight the roots of Western culture and the destruction connected with it. A destruction that we still witness today.

LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE

DANISH BASTARDS!



OR "DANSK JÄVLAR" ACCORDING TO BO NILSSON

In the end of each episode of Lars von Triers classic "The Kingdom" TV series, the Swedish actor Ernst Hugo Järegård (may he rest in peace) goes up on the roof of The Kingdom. The Kingdom (Riget in Danish) is Denmark's biggest hospital on the edge of Copenhagen and through his binoculars looks over at his beloved Sweden and screams "DANSK JÄVLAR". Dansk Jävlar means Danish Bastards and pretty much is head on for what the Swedes think of the kingdom of Denmark these days. The list of issues the Swedes have with the Danes until now is a very long one. It all started back in the days when Christian "The Good" II went to Stockholm and produced the huge drama in The Bloodbath of Stockholm. Basically he chopped the head off anyone that did not like him. After that the Swedes called him Christian "The Tyrant" II. A while after that Sweden broke loose from Denmark and became the bigger country with hardworking people who's drinking habits became regulated by the government because there was just to many accidents in the growing industrial nation. Meanwhile in Denmark, drinking was rather open and the brewery that made most money out of the Danes drinking habits, donated large amounts of money to the arts, by for example building "Glyptoteket" exhibiting classical art and Egyptian mummies. While Denmark was occupied by Hitler during the 2nd World War, the Swedes were neutral supporting him with huge amounts of iron for building weapons from their great mines in the north. The Swedish producer of bombs, made his own healing project by creating the Nobel Prize.

Then came many years of good times between the peaceful countries and they both flourished. The Swedes loved going to the happy go lucky little kingdom of Denmark to get drunk and buy cheap food and alcohol with their stronger currency. The Danes could really care less about Sweden, because when the Danes leave their kingdom, they would rather go south to get some sun, than going north to get even colder and being around the Swedes.
Sweden has always been a little better than Denmark and the Swedes truly feel this. The Danes have a bit of a little brother complex, and it has only gotten worse lately when Swedish music, fashion, film and literature have surpassed them by far.

The world changed Post 911, and so did Denmark. The country that used to be so cozy and "hyggeligt" was not so cute anymore. The very overly political correct Swedes cringe over what goes on in the kingdom these days. Not that they don't have problems with their immigrants and such, but at least they don't air their dirty laundry the way the Danes do. They are just to well behaved to do that. And then there was the crazy Danish soccer fan who attacked the referee during a game between Denmark and Sweden with 10 beers in his body, that cemented the Swedes perspective on the Danes.

The former art critic and current director of the Danish Royal Exhibition Space Charlottenborg Bo Nilsson, does not only have the same dialect as Ernst Hugo Järegård, he also has a slight resemblance to him. In his first exhibition at Charlottenborg, he is exhibiting the usual suspects of the current Danish art scene. However, one might wonder if he while being the Big Cheese in the Danish Royal Exhibition Space exhibiting what these silly Danes call art, that he every night after a hectic day with the union-declared coffee and smoke breaks every 60 minutes, goes up on the roof and looks over to his beloved Sweden and it's nuclear plant Barsebäck screaming "Dansk Jävlar!".








Is he just exhibiting them as a joke?

Is he pulling an "Entarte Kunst" move on the Danes, ridiculing their national treasures saying: Look at this crap! This is what they call contemporary art in this stupid little country.

HEIDI MORTENSON AND PEACHES CALLING LONDON IN BERLIN

When Danish Heidi Mortenson performed in Istanbul during The Triangle Project, she blew most people's mind. The old school New York DJ Johan Afterglow came up to me and said that after seeing Heidi perform live, the concept of performing had a new meaning to him. Basically Heidi intimidated many of the ego tripping young artists, but also gave them huge respect for her and made them perform even better. Heidi Mortenson is of great inspiration to anyone out there on the club scene, and not only women. Off stage she is almost invisible, but once she goes on stage her artist persona explodes, even if it seemed like she was holding back her full fledged Berlin edge. Heidi performs regularly all over Berlin, both with her live act (including human beatbox and scratch) and with a DJ set.
On the 7th of December she will be performing together with Peaches. The big difference between Peaches and Heidi is that Heidi has not been given the respect and mainstream appreciation that Peaches has. But staying underground in the streets of Berlin, not playing the sex card, will keep it real...and Heidi is keeping it real.

WORDS OF WISDOM TO THE HUMAN BEINGS

The Desteni Universe web site is a place where you can hear JFK talk about why he got shot, why Britney Spears is bald and how happy George Harrison still is for being able to create the music he did when he was alive...all channeled to this lovely young woman sitting in a room somewhere in South Africa. Basically she has the answers to all questions you might have, in entertaining and intense speeches by all kinds of people and historical figures, concepts, systems and thought constructs.

KIDS IN THE KITCHEN ARE SLIGHTLY PROUD TO PRESENT 672,000 PAGES OF USELESS INFORMATION
(That's not including the 42.000 pages of mostly useless cover material).

Bitshslap Magazine is releasing yet another issue of useless information.
Or as Nick put's it:
"That's right, if you can put 2+2 together you'll realize we've really had our heads down and hands on the absinthe bottle for this issue. We're pretty much knocking out 100 pages of glory this time and have upped the distribution to a whopping 7000 within the inner streets of Copenhagen, which includes the few brave travellers that are to be found in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Vancouver, Sydney, Wellington and a few hundred over in Århus. We get a few web reads too, thanks to those poor bastards that can't get hold of a hard-copy."

Bitchslap magazine was created by a couple of immigrants were bored in winter, thought the grumpy danes were funny, and decided to dedicate 300 shitty, hand cropped, blood smeared, home printered substitutes for toilet paper to taking the piss.

ARTREBELS IN THE ETHER

www.Artrebels.com are online...and what is Artrebels?

ArtRebels is a Cph-based creative community for designers, DJs, artist, musicians, VJs, filmmakers and other creative souls.
ArtRebels is a movement, a business, a network, a shop and a way of life.
There is also HeartRebels:
HeartRebels represents the value of the others, the appreciation of difference, diversity and culture. It aims to establish a foundation for cooperation and sharing. By giving focus to people and matters that have been marginalised, discriminated or excluded, it aspirates to uplift and create opportunities. HeartRebels go beyond borders and seeks to break down boundaries that prevent people from working together, inspire each other, teach and help each other. It recognises the impediments that exists within systems settled by political conviction, mostly dominated by neo-liberal tendencies. Its will is to disregard any form of disparity and make inclusion one of the cornerstones of its framework.

HeartRebels accentuate that cooperation beyond religion, tradition, culture and gender, is essential to emphasise to prevent unnecessary infringements. Infringements which have taken place too long in our, as well as the world society.

LYDIA LUNCH

The only way to define the art of Lydia Lunch is simply not to.


Legendary old school performance artist from The New York Underground will take on the stage of Dogzstar in Istanbul, where most artists in The Triangle Project also performed on in September.

Hailed by the Boston Phoenix as "one of the 10 most influential performers of the 90's", no other artist of the 20th century has fought, forged, punched, and sculpted their own artistic vision in such a uniquely original way. Defying categorization, Lydia Lunch actively has conquered new territories, and has gained international recognition for the innovative quality of her work.

Through music, books, spoken word performances, film, video, photography, poetry and a multitude of creative endeavors, Lydia Lunch has proven to be one of the most interesting and daring artists of the current era. While many others of her generation have dissolved into the trappings of commercialism, her artistic vision has, through the years, been strengthened, redefined, and focused into an expression uniquely her own.

Baptized as a confrontationalist, Lydia Lunch commenced at age 16 as primal screamer and guitar guerrilla for the seminal "no-wave" band Teenage Jesus and the Jerks (1976). In early 1978, artist and producer Brian Eno attended a series of shows put on to benefit the Artist's Space in Soho and influenced Island Records to finance an anthology LP featuring the four strongest bands- Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, The Contortions, Mars and DNA. The resulting recording, entitled No New York and produced by Eno, remains as one of the most impressive — and extraordinarily bold — debuts of the time.

Simultaneous to Teenage Jesus, Lunch formed Beirut Slump, released one single and recorded an album's worth of material. Her solo debut, 1980's Queen of Siam, proved to be one of her most acclaimed efforts, influencing an entire generation of underground bands and artists. Flavored with a big-band cabaret sound provided by The Billy Ver Plank Orchestra, featuring sophisticated arrangements by Ver Plank himself, and an appearance by noted guitarist Robert Quine, the album proved that Lunch could embark in new directions and succeed.

Also a critical success and favorite of the New York rock reviewers, her next band, 8 Eyed Spy brought Lunch into a more traditional rock format. After 1982's 13.13, which featured former members of the Weirdos, Lunch began a series of collaborations, working with Nick Cave and The Birthday Party on the EP The Agony Is the Ecstasy, as well as Einsturzende Neubauten, Die Haut, Sort Sol, The Swans' Michael Gira, Marc Almond, and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.

THE FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE ART (?)

Cyprus-born Stelios Arcadiou, known as Stelarc, is an Australian-based performance artist whose work “explores and extends the concept of the body and its relationship with technology through human-machine interfaces incorporating medical imaging, prosthetics, robotics, VR systems and the internet.”

He recently generated quite a controversy after having an ear grafted onto his forearm in the name of art. He said that his extra ear, made of human cartilage, is an augmentation of the body's form. Some surgeons questioned whether such an operation should have been carried out, given the absence of clinical need while some patients who had similar surgery to correct a birth defect said she found the artist's work offensive.

The blending of art and science is highly praised by the Raelians as the message given to Rael by his alien friends clearly state that all life forms were created by human beings who combined their advanced genetic understanding with a high artistic sense.
“If life had been created by scientists only, it would be functional and grey” said Rael in one of his recent addresses to students. This is unfortunately perfectly illustrated by the comments of these surgeons from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons who are questioning the ethics of the operation, arguing that operations should only be performed for “obvious clinical or psychological benefits”.
Well one might ask; an ear on the arm...is that a earm?

Ny Alliance i frontalt-angreb på regeringens kultur-politik om Copyrights
besked fra Aabskur Produktions

Ny Alliances folketingskandidat Morten Bay udsendte d.30.oktober en pressemeddelelse som kun kan fortolkes som et frontalt angreb på Regeringens kultur-politik. Udspillet er omtalt i dagens Nyhedsavisen:
http://avisen.dk/alliance-billig-musik-nettet

Morten Bay argumenterer i pressemeddelelsen for et kopiering og fildeling skal gøres lovligt mod en licens på 75 kr. om måneden. Regeringens politik på området er, at kopiering skal sidesættes med tyveri og kunne straffes med fængselsstraf.

Hvis der reelt er tale om Ny Alliance-politik, vil forslaget formentligt umuliggøre et samarbejde mellem Regeringen og Ny Alliance, da netop kulturpolitikken har været et kerneområde i Regeringens værdikamp. Der er tale om en værdipolitisk uenighed på linie med Jørgen Poulsens ønske om at tømme asylcentrene - men dog et emne med langt mindre opmærksomhed i offentligheden.

Forslaget ligger fint i tråd med Ny Alliances kulturpolitik om at sætte fokus på teknologisk udvikling og øget adgang til biblioteker og arkiver.

Forslaget er utroligt spændende for ikke-kommercielle kultur-distributører som f.eks. Aabskur Productions, da vi ikke har mulighed for at cleare rettighederne til alt materiale, og derfor konstant befinder os i en juridisk gråzone. Vi håber, at pressen vil give forslaget den kæmpe opmærksomhed, det fortjener. Ophavsret er det 21.århundredes olie, og vi bliver nødt til at forvalte emnet seriøst og demokratisk.

MACHINE CLUB
Grand Opening of new club in Istanbul

In a mail from The Triangle Projects New York and Istanbul friend Stephen Riolo
"I'll be in Istanbul tomorrow helping out with the opening of machine club (this saturday the 13'th @ balo sok.31/b beyoglu.) I'm also coming to feel out the possibilities of facilitating Queeruption '09 in istanbul. Soti and I have just been in NYC for my mom's 50'th b-day. Also had the chance to visit out a ton galleries, museums and project spaces. I'd love to see what's been going on in the istanbul arts scene post-biennale.

I'm crashing on a friend floor in cihanger, but it sounds pretty packed with club folks. If any one has an empty bedroom or sofa (and a shower) please hook me up. Soti's space in Athens is being renovated as we're developing it into a live-in arts salon space, with a cultural event series (films, talks, performances.) It all begins in the new year near Omonia!"

MASH UP CULTURE
from wired

You may not know the "Amen Brother" drum loop by name, but you've heard it hundreds or thousands of times. The following video, which should be required viewing for anyone interested in sampling, copyright, and culture, traces the so-called "amen break" from its original recording in 1969 through hip hop, jungle, IDM, advertising, a site that only plays songs created using it, and finally a company called Zero G, which sells the break -- the copyright of which is not enforced by its owners -- on a copyrighted CD.
The video lasts over 18 minutes (which is like three YouTube eternities), but its tale of a six-second drum break creating an entire subculture is engaging and informative, and contains a great lesson about how the expansion of copyright laws is hurting our culture

KARGOLOGY
About KARGO
Development:


Since 2003, Bella Angora, Christian Falsnaes and So:ren Berner have been carrying out a number of different projects under the common name „KARGO“ next to their individual artistic practices, primarily in the fields of performance, installation and graffiti/public space interventions.
KARGO is an ongoing investigation of the possibilities of performance in contemporary art contexts within the frame ofcollaboration experiments. Through an open exchange of ideas and experiences, KARGO aims at an unpretentious and entertaining, but still diverse and complex, approach to different themes.
Most of their projects have dealt with social/cognitive norms, patterns and structures as well as the conscious decision to question these. In the process of such investigations, KARGO is sampling music, video, public happenings,
graffiti and musical-style-shows with references to philosophy, art history and contemporary culture.
Subliminal massages:

Powerpoint presentation:




The experiments and the investigative nature of the process is an important part of the KARGO performance projects.
Not to be afraid to fail, to look stupid or to reveal mistakes.

The performance/public space project KARGOLOGY is an investigation of information patterns in
public space as well as the ways individual people experience the constant flow of information in the city.
KARGO have been taking their starting point in the idea of an information free utopia. What if the city would be wiped clean over night?

It would be an impossible task to delete all information, but the group have used one whole week in Vienna to delete as much information as possible, simply by painting signs, shops, commercials, pictograms, posters and maps white on their way. They have been painting white as an attempt to create a clean, open, free space.
A public white cube. A space where every person in the city is free to insert his or her own information. KARGO has no intention of asserting a theory regarding the subject though. The project is more about
carrying out an experiment and let the public react. Documentation of the experiment will be presented along with thoughts on the subject in a one hour long performance with live music and video projections.

Red and White plaid:


Ahmet from The Hall in Istanbul said:
"If we call ourselves "artist", then as Kargology put it "Being artists its
not an easy thing. Our mission should shake the society and make them question
themselves. So artists should have a statement."

We all loved their braveness, statements, and questioning attidute as a
artist".
