situasyonismus

semiotexte taze bir guy debord kitabi cikarmis. situationist international'in kurulus yillarindaki mektuplasmalar. tam adi Correspondence: The Foundation of the Situationist International (June 1957–August 1960)

MacKenzie Wark'in yazdigi giris yazsis Debord'dan su alintiyi yaparak basliyor: "Bir seyin profesyoneli oldum ama neyin, bilmiyorum."

"This volume traces the dynamic first years of the Situationist International movement—a cultural avant-garde that continues to inspire new generations of artists, theorists, and writers more than half a century later. Debord's letters—published here for the first time in English—provide a fascinating insider's view of just how this seemingly disorganized group drifting around a newly consumerized Paris became one of the most defining cultural movements of the twentieth century. Circumstances, personalities, and ambitions all come into play as the group develops its strategy of anarchic, conceptual, but highly political "intervention."Brilliantly conceived, this collection of letters offers the best available introduction to the Situationist International movement by detailing, through original documents, how the group formed and defined its cultural mission: to bring about, "by any means possible, even artistic," a complete transformation of personal life within the Society of the Spectacle."

Buradan October duayenleri Hal Foster ve David Joselit'in merakla beklenen "Recessional Aesthetics" konusmasina baglayacagim. Dia'nin eski mekanina yerlesen X arts initiative'in etkinligine ilgi buyuktu, ortalik bir acilis misali kalabalikti. Hoster ve Joselit on tane birbirinden gundem soru hazirlayip gelmislerdi. Bundan sonrasini dogaclama ve izleyici katilimiyla surdureceklerini soylediler. Sorularin her biri bir konu basligiydi, devam etseydi dort saat oradaydik. Abilerimiz krizin markete etkisinden basladilar; kolleksiyonunu finansal deger olarak kullanan neo-liberal sanat kurumu profilinin krizi asip asamayacagindan girip, krizin bienalizasyon hareketini yavaslatip lokali koruma gudulerini yukseltebileceginden devam ederekten, sanat okullari ve profesyonelizasyonu sorgulayip sanat elestirmenini haline girdiklerinde Greenberg ve elestirmen rolu uzerinde anlasmazliga girdiler. Tam bu sirada arka siralarda uyuklamakta olan bir evsiz paldir kuldur yere yuvarlandi soru sormaya calisan bir kadinin onune dogru.

Herkes ne oluyor diye oraya donmusken Hal Foster ve David Joselit konusmayi burada bitirelim deyip herkesi her seyin ortasinda birakip masadan kalktilar. Konusma sonrasinda kimileri bunun daha onceden hazirlanmis oldugu suphesini dile getirdi. Kimileri de dedi ki konuya uygun bir bitiris, situasyonist bir eylem miydi acaba?

New York'daki agir ironik uslup devreye giriyor tabii.

Buradan da bir aciklamaya baglayayim. Elmas gecen pazartesi girdigim elestiri notunun nereye gittiginin anlasilmadigini yazmis. Aradaki linki dolduralim: O not bizim Elmas'la Brian Holmes Claire Pentecost ve sozluk vakasi ile ilgili yazismalarimiza isimlerimizi vermeden yapilan bir blog anistirmasina verilen cevapti. Kaldi ki yillarini muhalefetle, gercek bir eyleme donusume olanak vermeden geciren sozde sol modeli bence icine kapali, cok zaman elitist olabilen guncel sanat alemimizdeki pek cok tikanikligi anlatabilecek bir ozlu durum.

Extra City is proud to present the exhibition Sergei Eisenstein. The Mexican Drawings.
Sergei Eisenstein (1898–1948), the director offilms like Battleship Potemkin (1927) and Ivan the Terrible (1941), is widely acknowledged as being one of most influential artists of the modern period. Eisenstein's radical concept of montage has become seminal within the theory and practice of the Avant-garde of the 20th century. Other aspects of his work, especially his unfinished scripts, theoretical projects, and drawings, have remained less known.
Sergei Eisenstein: The Mexican Drawings, organized in collaboration with MuHKA Antwerp, brings together an extensive selection of works culled from the Russian State Archives of Literature and Art in Moscow (RGALI), drawings that Eisentein made during his visit to Mexico in 1931/32, including some that have never before presented in public. In Mexico, Eisenstein developed his drawings in a parallel manner to the Surrealists' écriture automatique, producing a large number of variations on recurring motifs based on Mexico's hybrid imagery. In a single dynamic line, Eisenstein explores the transformation of forms, obscenity, death and violence.
The drawings are an integral part of his larger intellectual project, a study of the historical relationship between rationality, sensual thought and image. Eisenstein had intended to publish the results of his research in a book entitled Method, on which he worked until the end of his life, but which remained uncompleted. In an attempt to approximate Eisenstein's non-linear conception of Method, extracts from that material and partial translations will be presented in a web platform established on the occasion of the exhibition.
The exhibition will further include short excerpts from the unfinished ¡Que viva México!, the film Eisenstein was in the process of producing in Mexico, and which he would tragically be excluded from editing.
The exhibition Sergei Eisenstein: The Mexican Drawings is conceived as an introduction to the collaborative project Animism, planned to take place in 2010 at MuHKA and Extra City, which addresses the dialectics of subjectification and objectification, conservation and animation, in modern and contemporary art.
With the support of the Russian State Archives of Literature and Art and the Ford Foundation, Moscow.

March 28, CURATING AND ACTIVISM:AN INTERNATIONAL PANEL AND CONVERSATION

Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative at The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and Moore College of Art & Design

Moore College of Art and Design
20th Street and The Parkway, Philadelphia, PA 19103-1179 http://www.thegalleriesatmoore.org/

The Galleries at Moore in conjunction with Moore College of Art and Design's BFA in Curatorial Studies present "Curating and Activism," the fourth in an ongoing series of public conversations about issues and ideas in contemporary curatorial practice. Through a series of grouped conversations with an international roster of distinguished panelists, we will examine multiple ways in which curatorial activities can be directed toward social and political activism. Questions to be considered include: How effectively is social/political activism addressed through curatorial practice? What are the power dynamics involved in curating for social change? What is a curator's responsibility in articulating his/her political stance? Are forums for public interaction inherently political? How is participation related to activism? What are the stakes in activist curating and what are the criteria for success? Can curatorial practice truly inspire productive political change?

call for summer of resistance 2009: collapse the security architectures!

As the consequence of the collapse of global capitalism around the world,‭ ‬more uprisings are expected.‭ ‬With the recent riots in Greece,‭ ‬Iceland,‭ ‬Sweden,‭ ‬Lithuania,‭ ‬Latvia,‭ ‬Bulgaria,‭ ‬France,‭ ‬Guadeloupe and Lampedusa,‭ ‬the EU became the venue of intense contradictions and militant struggles which.‭ In the numerous directives,‭ ‬bilateral agreements and treaties,‭ ‬of the past few years concerted measures for‭ “‬Europe as an area of freedom,‭ ‬security and justice‭”‬,‭ ‬are long ago brought into position against anti-communist resistance and radical projects and movements are covered with investigations and prosecutions for‭ "‬terrorism‭"‬.‭ “‬Joint investigation teams‭” ‬research‭ ‬-‭ ‬supported by Europol‭ ‬-‭ ‬international networks.‭ ‬Manuals and databases on‭ “‬Troublemakers‭” ‬will be bring protests at major international events under control.
Resistance against the increase in surveillance and control,‭ ‬against repression and anti-riot is still stuck too much often on a national level.‭ ‬Therefore we call to push the development of a transnational struggle against the‭ “‬security architecture‭”‬,‭ ‬in‭ ‬2009‭ ‬at several cross-border mobilizations,‭ ‬whether they are timbered by the NATO,‭ ‬G8‭ ‬or EU.‭

‬We see the action day at the NATO summit as the kick off of the campaign for a‭ “‬Summer of Resistance‭ ‬2009‭” ‬against the global‭ “‬security regime‭”‬:‭

homo oeconomicus'dan pazartesi neşesi ve bir not

a farmer's guide to political ideologies

feudalism: you have two cows. your lord takes some of the milk.
fascism: you have two cows. the government takes both, hires you to take care of them, and sells you the milk.
pure communism: you have two cows. your neighbours help you take care of them, and you all share the milk.
applied communism: you have two cows. you have to take care of them but the government takes all the milk.
dictatorship: you have two cows. the government takes both and shoots you.
nigerian democracy: you have two cows. the government takes both, shoots you and sends the cows to zurich.
pure democracy: you have two cows. your neighbourhood decides who takes the milk.
singaporean democracy: you have two cows. the government fines you for keeping two unlicensed farm animals in an apartment.
european democracy: you have two cows. at first, the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. then it pays you not to milk them. after that, it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.
capitalism: you have two cows. you sell one and buy a bull.
hong kong capitalism: you have two cows. you sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. the milk rights of the six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the right to all seven cows' milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. meanwhile you kill the cows because of bad fengshui.
political correctness: you are associated with (the concept of 'ownership' is a symbol of the phallocentric, warmongering, intolerant past) two differently aged ( but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender.

sakin bir pazar akşamı tüm email adreslerimdeki postaları gözden geçiriyordum. yazıldığı zaman bana ulaşmamış olan bir notla karşılaştım. bazı arkadaşlarım zamanında görüp cevaplarını vermişler. geç olsun güç olmasın ben de söyleyeceğimi söyleyeyim.
bu tıkanıklık hali hep kolay olanı seçmekten. tercih varsa bir eleştiri onun gitmesi gereken mercilere yapıcı ve sürekli biçimde gitmesinden ziyade gidebilecek en rahat yere gidip daralma yaratmasından yana.
bir şey söylenmiş de olsun ama derdi söylem değiştirme, kırılma yaratma, kısacası eylem yapma olmasın. diskurun meselelere bakışını değişen koşullara göre yenilemesine, kendine öz eleştiri getirmesine de ne gerek var canım. chp modeli kanımıza mı işlemiş ne? kollektif belleğin gerçek öcü. sol taraftan ilerleyelim abiler ablalar arabada boş yer var...

Electric Palm Tree Strikes Again

THE DEMON OF COMPARISONS

A project by Electric Palm Tree

With: Heman Chong, Hafiz, Beom Kim, Sung Hwan Kim, Tibor Hajas, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Tadasu Takamine, and with special contributions by Philippe Rekacewicz and Grace Samboh
Curated by: Binna Choi in collaboration with Kyongfa Che and Cosmin Costinas; exhibition design in collaboration with Susanne Pietsch

Date: 28 March – 17 May 2009
Opening: Friday 27 March from 5 to 7 p.m., accompanied by the lecture-performance Finders Keepers by Jeuno Kim.

'The Demon of Comparisons' is an association of subjective positions relating in various ways to larger social and political frameworks, to power and cultural constructions. Placing emphasis on the issue of individual agency in a landscape defined by questions of national and cultural identities, The Demon of Comparisons questions the kind of collectivity these subjects can form.

The title is a translation of a phrase from Jose Rizal's novel Noli Me Tangere, "el demonio de las comparaciones", also used by Benedict Anderson as the title of his book, where it is rendered as The Specter of Comparisons. An original and insightful thinker, Anderson questioned the patterns and the meeting points that are to be found throughout geographies, times and power structures that lead to formations of identities and various senses of belonging. Our translation remains anchored in this area of interest, but is intended to add the potential of the polisemy, indeed the spectres, of the original Spanish word, 'demonio', in dealing with the subjectivity of one's experience of culture and power.

The Demon of Comparisons grew out of exchanges and discussions during 'Open Circuit #1: Yogyakarta', organized by Electric Palm Tree in September 2008 in Indonesia. During the week-long workshop, participants shared and negotiated their experiences and vocabularies of social transformation from their respective backgrounds.

The exhibition is in dialogue with 'The Antagonistic Link' running at Casco, Utrecht, through the same period. The opening takes place on Saturday, 28 March at 5 p.m., accompanied by the first staging of Ongoing propositions under different conditions by Sönke Hallmann & Achim Lengerer.

The seminar of The Demon of Comparisons will be held on April 4 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with contributions by Michele Faguet, Patrick D. Flores, Vit Havranek, Hiroshi Yoshioka, Ahmad bin Mashadi, David Riff. More information to be followed in the next e-mail newsletter and the website of SMBA.

Anywhere but Now

Symposium & Screenings on Landscapes of Belonging in the Eastern Mediterranean

Film Screenings co-presented by Arte East

April 2-4, 2009

Beirut Art Center – Corniche An-Nahr / Jisr Al-Wati

The lands along the eastern Mediterranean rim and beyond are still mired in violence long after the end of the last World War. The nation-state’s struggle for ownership of territory and hegemonic identity continues with protracted wars, upwardly spiraling numbers of refugees, generations of stateless persons, ‘trapped’ populations, burnt and flattened villages, crumbling and emptied city-quarters, silenced and over-written histories. This event examines what is obscured by the shallow surface or ensnared within/out the borders and boundaries of the nation-space by reflecting upon dynamics of exclusion, senses of ‘home’, sediments of movement, trajectories of everyday living, maps of memory, ‘impossible’ identity and genealogies of catastrophic loss. Through the interventions of international scholars and a thematic selection of videos and films, this event trawls beneath the visible landscape for that which constantly unsettles the ever-fragile sense of ‘now’.

- With international scholars Mohamed Kamel Doraï, Nadia Latif, Eleni Myrivili, Marc Nichanian, Arzu Öztürkmen, Julie Peteet, Kirsten Schulze, Nazan Ustundag

- Screening of “Forget Baghdad” (Samir), “I Soldier & The Flag / Bayrak” (Köken Ergun), “North… the Fourth Direction” (Juan Hamdo), “A Day from Home” (Samar Kanafani), “Life After the Fall” (Kasim Abid & Maysoon Pachachi), “Journey to the Sun” (Yeşim Ustaoğlu), “Pasolini P* Palestine” (Ayreen Anastas), “Do You Remember Sarajevo” (Sead and Nihad Kresevljaković), Salata Baladi (Nadia Kamel).

Opening Event (April 2):

Author’s Reading from the novel “The fake Indian” by Iraqi author Abbas Khider (in Arabic)

Screening of “Forget Baghdad ” by Samir, followed by a dialogue between Ella Shohat and Naeim Giladi, moderated by Rasha Salti

Simultaneous Translation (English/Arabic) available for all sessions

i'm santiago, from Barcelona. i 'm here in Austria but I'm fighting with the students of the university in barcelona from the distance, so I only can pass this message to you.
in itali, greece and spain the new rules are not so much good for us.
since 4 months we are sleeping inside of the universities of Barcelona.the students are against the new project of Bologna we make open classes, debates, assemblages, dinners, and pacific proposes.we make a referendum for all the students to know the opinion about the plan
the 90% were against Bologna (with a big participation) on the videos you can see what happened yesterday in my city. the police went inside to the petition of the rector...they have books, not bombs because they are students, not delinquents, but for the system maybe is the same ...this is our reality.

durban II world conference against racism

More and more Western countries are either announcing their boycott or are threatening to boycott Durban II, a United Nations conference scheduled for April to review progress made since the World Conference Against Racism (WCAR) held in Durban, South Africa in 2001, nicknamed Durban I. Earlier this month, Italy became the first EU member to withdraw from the event, stating that it could not endorse a draft agenda that criticizes Israel. Italy followed in the footsteps of Israel, Canada and the United States. France and the Netherlands are threatening their own boycotts. Maxime Verhagen, the Dutch foreign minister, recently explained that "The Netherlands will not be party to a propaganda circus."
In December 2008, Verhagen claimed that the 2001 summit was an "anti-Semitic witch-hunt."Perhaps in September 2001, the world was not yet ready to accept the notion that Israel is in fact practicing apartheid. But ever more observers are coming to precisely that conclusion. The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman warned four years ago that "if Israel does not relinquish the West Bank and Gaza, the Palestinians will soon outnumber the Jews and Israel will become either an apartheid state or a non-Jewish state."
Four years later, Friedman wrote, "Well, having taken a little drive through part of the West Bank, as I always do when I visit, it strikes me more than ever that it's not only five after midnight, it's five after midnight and a whole week later."
The Israeli organization Peace Now stated early in March that Israel's housing ministry has plans that would nearly double the number of settlers in the West Bank, rendering a two-state solution impossible. Israel has planned 73,000 new housing units in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli group stated, of which 15,000 have already received approval. Moreover, Israel's prime minister designate Benjamin Netanyahu announced that a government he leads will expand settlements.

aşk hikayesi severler için "chris & don: a love story"

CHRIS & DON: A LOVE STORY is the true-life story of the passionate three-decade relationship between British writer Christopher Isherwood (whose Berlin Stories was the basis for all incarnations of the much-beloved Cabaret) and American portrait painter Don Bachardy, thirty years his junior. From Isherwood’s Kit-Kat-Club years in Weimar-era Germany (the inspiration for his most famous work) to the couple’s first meeting on the sun-kissed beaches of 1950s Malibu, their against-all-odds saga is brought to dazzling life by a treasure trove of multimedia. Bachardy’s contemporary reminiscences (in the Santa Monica home he shared with Isherwood until his death in 1986) artfully interact with archival footage, rare home movies (with glimpses of glitterati pals W.H. Auden, Igor Stravinsky and Tennessee Williams), reenactments, and, most sweetly, whimsical animations based on the cat-and-horse cartoons the pair used in their personal correspondence. With Isherwood’s status as an out-and-proud gay maverick, and Bachardy’s eventual artistic triumph away from the considerable shadow of his life partner, CHRIS & DON: A LOVE STORY is above all a joyful celebration of a most extraordinary couple.

9. sharjah bienali başladı

The worst condition is to pass under a sword which is not one's own

michael rakowitz'i gecen bienalin antreposundan hatırlayanlar vardır
The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist (Recovered, Missing, Stolen Series), 2007

Üstteki görsel geçen hafta açılan son solo sergisinden:

Always surprising and profoundly timely, in this exhibition Rakowitz explores the influence of science fiction genre imagery on the design of Iraqi monuments, military uniforms and weaponry under Saddam Hussein, while illuminating aspects of the US-Iraq conflict over the past few decades. Monumental sculptures that speak through their materials and an accompanying series of narrative drawings come together to tell this most unexpected- yet true- story of the Iraqi leader’s fascination with science fiction. The intertwining forces of adolescent imagination and science fiction, as present in the installation, suggest that the binaries of good and evil found in the mythology developed by innovators such as American director George Lucas are far from categorical when applied to current geopolitical scenarios.

26 yıl sonra gelen mektup

“26 yıl sabırla bekledim ve mektubuma kavuştum. Benim için bu çok değerli. O benimle yine yaşıyor. Başım dik; başımı hiç önüme eğmedim, hiç utanmadım. Benim oğlum mert biriydi. Keşke o kişilerin oğlum kadar yüreği olsaydı. Bir mektuptan korktular. Mektupta yasak bir şey yazmıyordu. Her şey yasaldı, okuyabilirler. Normal bir aile mektubu. Neden korktular, 26 sene neden saklandı? Babası okumadan öldü. Ben inat ettim yaşadım. ‘Okumadan ölmeyeceğim’ dedim ve nihayet aldım mektubumu.“

kriz çözümleri: architecture 5 cents

It’s no secret that architecture has been hit by the recession (yes, even that impenetrable bastion of technical wizardry, jargon, theory, and - oh nevermind). 27-year old Seattle resident John Morefield can attest: he was laid off not once, but twice in a single year as projects dry up and small firms tighten budgets. So what’s a boy to do? Watch Peanuts cartoons and hang out at the local farmers’ market?
Why yes indeedy. Morefield’s concept for Architecture 5¢ — edificially inspired by Charles Schulz’s psychiatrist booth for Lucy — is bringing architecture to the people, and people to the architecture. For a nickel, passerby can ask questions that range from simple (”What’s the best insulation to use next to concrete in a basement?”) to complex (”We have a 700-square foot Seattle bungalow and want to add a second story because we’re expecting our first child… Help!”).
The idea is to spur conversation about building matters and make contacts that might someday develop into working relationships. And the message is spreading, at least in its first incarnation, as he’s received 5¢ queries via email from across the globe — Brazil, Portugal, Shanghai — and coverage on a CNN news broadcast.
At 1/20th of a dollar per question, this is no get-rich scheme (especially since all proceeds are donated to a Seattle food bank). So what’s the point? Morefield says he wants to create a “ripple effect” on a local level, for one nickel leads to one project, which employs one contractor, who hires two carpenters, and so on. And though his ultimate goal is to expand Architecture 5¢ nationwide, with booths in neighborhoods across the country from the Bronx to Oakland, he admits the idea “can’t grow large enough that I don’t have time for the booth.” That explains his regular appearance in Ballard, even at 7:30 am in rainy, 32-degree weather.
We caught up with the architect in New York this week to pester him with questions about the future of housing, from construction trends to suburban development. Some bon mots below:
On prefab: “Prefab has already seen success - in the mobile home industry. I admire what firms like Michelle Kaufmann are doing, but prefab construction [as a movement] can’t really take off.”
On the future of domestic architecture: “Green design has finally hit in all categories. Whether building new or retrofitting an older home, eco-friendly construction is the absolute future. We’ve been hearing even more about it with Obama in office.”
On suburban sprawl and McMansions: “My parents live in Phoenix, Arizona, and no one’s buying into the 300, 400 home subdivisions that are already built - they’re sitting empty, half built, or just the foundations down. It’s like a post-apocalyptic ghost town.”
On living in smaller spaces: “It comes down to this: you’ve got heat it, and you’ve got to pay for all the materials. The days of urban sprawl are slowing.”

The Museum of Modern Art in Warsawul. Panska 300-124 Warsaw, Poland

http://www.artmuseum.pl/

The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw presents "Wydomowienie - Unhoming", the first solo show in Poland by the Palestinian artist Ahlam Shibli, which consists of three photo series: "Dom Dziecka. The House Starves When You are Away", "Trackers" and "Dependence".
Her recent photo series deal mostly with the everyday life of the Palestinians under Israeli occupation. Finding her inspiration in the tradition of photographers who had documented the life of Palestinian people since the late 19th century, Shibli reduces human presence in her images. Usually her photos present unfinished houses, deserted plains, cemeteries and investigate the traces of the history left on Palestinian villages - as was the case of the series presented at the last Documenta in Kassel - "Arab-al-Sbain" and "Goter".
In the three series of photographs presented in Warsaw, the artist goes beyond the familiar landscape of her own experience, detecting signs of social injustice, misery and instability in a broader historical and sociopolitical context.

"Dom Dziecka. The House Starves When You are Away" is a series of 35 colour and black and white photographs, taken by Ahlam Shibli last year in 11 Polish orphanages - they are displayed for the first time at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. "Trackers" (2005) focuses on a group of Palestinians of Bedouin descent, who serve in the Israeli army as volunteer soldiers, while "Dependence" (2007) deals with immigrants in Barcelona who are employed to take care of the elderly.
All those photo series focus on displaced individuals or groups. As the neologism used in the title - "Wydomowienie - Unhoming" - implies, the issue of home, or the lack of it, is central in those works.
Ahlam Shibli's camera provides an insight into the life of the orphanages, into the functioning of a military camp as well as the houses where immigrants work. The artist observes the interiors, inquires the relationships among the members of the groups, follows the moments of intimacy and records all those apparently futile events in the daily routine.
The three series are a result of artist's intensive research and preparatory work in the locations. They are a product of her personal engagement with the subject she deals with, and her mission to cast light onto the otherwise "invisible" members of the society.

Ahlam Shibli was born in 1970 in Palestine. She lives there, recording, as she claims, the realities created by ongoing violations of Palestinian land rights. From 1999 to 2009, Ahlam Shibli has realized several major series of photographs - Interrupted River, Horse Race in Jericho, Wadi Saleib in Nine Volumes, Voyage in Mt. Tabor, Unrecognised, Self Portrait, Five Senses, Positioning, Goter, Catastrophe: Mt. Tabor, Berlin, Refuge in Frost, and Halisa, Trackers, Market, Eastern LGBT, Arab al-Sbaih, The Valley, Dependence which have been shown at museums, galleries and biennials in Asia, Europe and Latin America.

Representing NYC: Nine 11 Thesaurus + The Fly Girlz + Mr. Lif + Zebrablood + more

The New Museum is proud to host the series launch party of Representing NYC, a new series of youth hip-hop records that pair Brooklyn public school students with Brooklyn-based independent musicians. Curated by Sam Hillmer (of avant-garde chamber ensemble Zs), the first CD in the series brings together members of Brooklyn-based electronic/noise group Excepter with The Fly Girlz, a group of twelve- to fourteen-year-old rappers from Brownsville. To celebrate this much-needed opportunity for young artists to represent their New York and connect to a larger spectrum of creative musicians, this launch party presents a nonstop bash bringing together students from the program with established musicians.
The Fly Girlz, six MCs aged twelve to fourteen, use their songs to explore everyday struggles in Brownsville, from boys to drive-bys.
Nine 11 Thesaurus are the newest group formed through the Representing NYC program, presenting Brooklyn’s most fearsome and irreverent rap.
Mr. Lif (Def Jux Records) stands among today’s most explosive and political rappers, his deft wordplay illuminating birth to death, and everything in between.
Zebrablood, a.k.a. Nathan Corbin, is a founding member of avant/sacred noise ensemble Excepter, and producer of The Fly Girlz debut.

buraya gelince kendime güzel bir tiyatro ısmarlamadan edemedim. Brooklyn Academy of Music'de sam mendes'in (american beauty diyelim) yönettiği vişne bahçesi ve kış masalı oyunlarının son haftasıydı. kış masalı'nı seçtim. hayatımda izlediğim en iyi oynanmış shakespeare'di, oyuncular tam anlamıyla döktürdü. güldük, eğlendik. mendes'in oyuncuların oynamasına alan açan sade yönetimini de sevdim.

oyuna geç girebildim, yanımda oturan adam az bi cıkcıkladı. ışıklar bir açıldı. cıkcıklayan adamın sam mendes yanındakinin de kate winslet olduğu ortaya çıktı. ön sıradan bir adam hemen imza istedi, mendes'i iltifatlara boğdu, bir dahaki gelişiniz arasına altı yıl koymayın dedi, yaladı yuttu kısacası. denizcim nazire yapmak istemem ama kate winslet hakkaten şahane bi kadınmış, hem 'down to earth' hem zarif.

yani bu da bir new york deneyimi olarak haneye yazıldı.

Katya Sander: If You Read This, I’ll Give It To You

The Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures and The Salford Restoration Office present If You Read This, I’ll Give It To You, a public realm project by Danish artist Katya Sander.

Sander has produced five thousand pin badges bearing the phrase ‘If you read this, I’ll give it to you (but then you must wear it)’, which will become increasingly visible throughout the city during March. Each badge represents a social contract between those who wear it, and those who act upon its statement in order to acquire it. The badges will be introduced to the city by a number of participants working within higher and further educational institutions and art spaces over the coming weeks, with each badge making its own individual journey through Manchester, generating its own unique chain of relationships along the way. As well as acquiring a badge through a chance encounter, it is possible to obtain one from a number of public galleries across the city.
This project is part of Whose Cosmopolitanism? - a series of public events to launch the Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures (RICC), University of Manchester.

This project has been supported by Arts Council England (Grants for the Arts) and The Danish Arts Council. Thanks also to The Manchester Beacon

bu sabah bir kar firtinasi, oyle boyle degil benim yeni mahallenin parki su durumda

martin ikisi. bir uyandim. yarim metreden fazla kar. collerde dolastigim icin bayadir boyle kar gormedim, sevindirik oldum...

here is always somewhere else: the disappearance of bas jan ader

onu muhtemelen "i'm to sad to tell you" işinden hatırlarsınız, kamera karşısında dakikalarca ağladığı. son işi "in search for the miraculous"ta pasifik'i olabilecek en küçük tekneyle geçme iddiasında bulunur, yola çıkar, geri gelmez sadece teknesi bulunur.
öyle bir adam rietveld'de okurken bir yıl boyunca çizim dersinde kağıt bile değiştirmemiş, her seferinde yeniden silinen kağıt en sonunda erimiş gitmiş. hollanda'da hiç kimse işlerinin yüzüne bakmamış, ona sadece kanala bisikletiyle düşen adam olarak bakmışlar. kimse o karar, bırakma, vazgeçiş halini okuyamamış.
ader'in okyanusta kayboluşuyla ilgili ilginç bir film yapılmış, yarattığı mit üzerine. imkan varsa getirebilenlere getirttirin, kütüphanelere aldırtın ve mutlaka izleyin. üretim meselesiyle, gerçek meselesiyle ilgili düşündüklerimizi derinden etkileyebilecek bir şeyler anlatıyor bu film. ayrıca merak edenlere, jan verwoert afterall'un tek iş anlatan kitaplar serisinde "in search of the miraculous"u yazmış. new museum'daki son night school serisinde dinledim "why conceptual artists do paint" konuşmasını en sonunda. duchamp'ın satranç oyuncusu stratejik düşünme adım atma modeli diye tanımladığı durumu nasıl yerle bir ettiğini görünce bas jan ader üzerine okumasını da çok merak ettim.

ps: turkcem kaymis hemen. gerekli duzeltmeler yapilmistir:)
