Oscillation ::: Materia Forma Bulletin ep. 2
…the goodies

Dear fans and non-fans of the Oscillation bulletin,

This is a bulletin dedicated to the dilution of our high mass density list of artists’ names with which we have been inundating you since early February. To reduce the concentration a bit, we therefore list below some of the in-house favourites and acts we think make this edition extra special. Tickets are still available for all days!

30/04: Victoria Shen aka Evicshen is a sound artist, experimental music performer, and inventor. Evicshen’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Previously seen in her performances: nails that serve as pickup needles, a sonic hair comb, and crowdsurfing with a complete gear table.

1/05: In the afternoon of May 1st, we host a discourse program in our very own HQ. Excitement is already growing for the talks, not least that of famed anthropologist Tim Ingold whose 2015 classic ‘The Life of Lines’ has set many an aspiring sound artist on adventurous new paths.

2/05: On Thursday, we’re heading to the Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Molenbeek church, a location still underrated for concerts in our opinion. There awaits a well-balanced program, featuring all-time Q-O2 favourites such as Liew Niyomkarn, Enrico Malatesta, Margarida Garcia, and Okkyung Lee.

3/05: A rare chance to hear the work of Jacqueline Nova (1935–1975), performed by Ana María Romano G. Nova is a pioneering figure of electroacoustic music in Colombia, and one of Latin America’s most important avant-garde and experimental musicians of the 20th century. Coming of age in a repressive era in Colombia, Nova, the first woman to graduate in music composition from the Colombian National Conservatory, had a multifaceted career as composer, director, radio host, and cultural organizer.

4/05: One of our favourite – unfairly underrepresented in Brussels – genres’ most exciting acts closes the VK on Saturday: Chicago born and raised footwork artist Jana Rush. Be prepated for an intense emotional rollercoaster of disfigured samples, quivering electronics and vagrant percussion.

5/05: As if the stunning venue that B********** A***S is is not enough, we have the honour of welcoming Tetsuya Umeda there. For Oscillation, Umeda will make a cylindrical sound sculpture from ordinary objects like tins, nets, stove, and rice. The sculpture’s unexpected sounds and simple processes are influenced by the idea of “Narikama”, an ancient Japanese ritual performed for 500 years.

On form and in shape,

The Oscillation Büro

[NGHE NEWSLETTER] Ce samedi 27/04 Médiatheque des chants de Luttes – NO-TAV – Davide Tidoni – Écoute docu radio “la police dans la valsusa” – Les Strikes

Posted on 24 April 202424 April 2024

DAVIDE TIDONI

La police
dans la Valsusa

version française, 2024

La
police dans la Valsusa est le quatrième épisode
de Frammenti dalla lotta NoTAV, une œuvre radiophonique de
Davide Tidoni produite à l'origine en Italien.
L'œuvre
consiste en une série d'histoires, de réflexions et d'expériences
personnelles de la lutte No TAV . Ce mouvement populaire italien
s'est développé dans la Valsusa, et s'oppose à la construction de
la deuxième ligne ferroviaire à grande vitesse entre Turin et Lyon
depuis le début des années 2000.

Les trois premiers épisodes
de l'œuvre ont été diffusés sur RAI, la radio nationale
italienne, en mai 2023 ; le quatrième épisode, celui que vous allez
écouter, a été annulé la veille de sa diffusion.

A travers
les voix de différentes personnes impliquées
dans le mouvement, l'œuvre complète rassemble certains des thèmes
centraux de la lutte No TAV, notamment : les défauts et les lacunes
techniques du projet de la ligne a grande vitesse ; et les relations
entre la lutte, la communauté et la transformation personnelle. Le
quatrième épisode, annulé par la RAI, se concentre sur la
militarisation de la vallée et le plan de défense militaire mis en
place pour protéger le chantier du Tav.

La version française
a été réalisée dans le but de diffuser le contenu de l'œuvre et
de le rendre accessible à un public francophone.

“la police dans la Valsusa” will be also broadcasted on p-node on saturday 27 at 19h.

LES STRIKES

Les trikes, c'est une chorale féministe en mixité choisie (sans hommes cisgenres) fonctionnant en autogestion et de manière horizontale, sans chef.fe de choeur, sans chef.fe tout court. C'est d'aimer chanter pour soutenir les luttes, se solidariser avec toustes celleux

qui affrontent les multiples violences du capitalisme racial et patriarcal ; se renforcer mutuellement, occuper l'espace public, récupérer notre puissance ;

remettre la pratique du chant dans les luttes, dans les piquets de grève et les manifestations mais aussi dans nos vies au quotidien!

Künstlerinnen-Vortrag mit Ulrike Müller

Wir freuen uns, Sie am Sonntag den 28.04.2024 um 12 Uhr zu einem Künstlerinnen-Vortrag von Ulrike Müller einladen zu dürfen. Im Rahmen des Vortrages wird die Künstlerin über ihren erweiterten Malereibegriff im Kontext der Ausstellung Monument to My Paper Body sprechen. Für Kaffee und Kuchen ist wie immer gesorgt!

Monument to My Paper Body
Künstlerinnen-Vortrag von Ulrike Müller
Begrüßung Eva Birkenstock
So, 28.04.2024, 12 Uhr

In Ulrike Müllers künstlerischer Arbeit geht es um das Verhältnis von Abstraktion und Körper sowie um einen Malereibegriff, der nicht an Pinsel und Leinwand gebunden ist. Müller verwendet ein Formenvokabular, das – je nach Kontext und Betrachter*in – gegenständlich besetzt, affektiv aufgeladen und politisch konnotiert sein kann.

Ulrike Müllers Arbeit verkompliziert die übliche Rollenzuschreibung der Künstlerin auf vielfältige Weise. Als Malerin und Zeichnerin destabilisiert sie die in diesen Medien aufgehobenen Konzepte von Originalität, Autonomie und Autor*innenschaft. Müller verschiebt ihr formales Vokabular zwischen materiellen und affektiven Zuständen und bringt verschiedene Materialien und Techniken zum Einsatz. Neben kleinformatigen Bildern aus gebrannter Emaille entstehen raumgreifende Wandbilder, Textilien, Druckgrafiken und Publikationen.

Ulrike Müller studierte Kunst an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, und nahm am Whitney Museum Independent Study Program (New York) teil. Sie war Mitherausgeberin der queer-feministischen Zeitschrift LTTR und organisierte von 2009-2012 das Gemeinschaftsprojekt Herstory Inventory. 100 Feministische Zeichnungen von 100 Künstlerinnen. Ihre Arbeiten wurden im Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig (mumok, Wien, 2015), in der Whitney Biennale (New York, 2017), der 57. Carnegie International (Pittsburgh, 2018), im Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf, 2018), in der internationalen Ausstellung der 58. Venedig Biennale (2019) gezeigt. Von 2023-25 sind sie in der Ausstellung Woven Histories. Textiles and Modern Abstraction zu sehen (National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Museum of Modern Art, New York).

Kurzfristige Erinnerung: Forum Literatur “Daddy Issues” mit Dino Pešut

Donnerstag, 25. April 2024, 19 Uhr
FORUM LITERATUR: Daddy Issues

Lesung mit Dino Pešut und den Schauspielern Jonas Dumke und Luc Schneider sowie anschließendem Gespräch mit Eva Birkenstock (Direktorin, Ludwig Forum Aachen) und Hermann Müller (Freier Literaturkurator, Berlin)

Die Nachricht, dass mein Vater schwer krank ist, nehme ich beinahe gleichgültig auf. Sie irritiert mich nur ein wenig, wie irgendwelche Straßenarbeiten… Er hat mich nur kurz angerufen, er wolle nicht lange stören. “Ich bin bei der Arbeit”, ich lege auf. Ich schmolle wegen der womöglich unheilbaren Erkrankung meines Vaters. Ich arbeite an der Rezeption eines mittelmäßigen Hotels… Mein Job ist nicht anspruchsvoll, sie ist häufig langweilig, aber sie hält meine Neugier am Leben. Persönlich mag ich es am liebsten, abends zu arbeiten, um mitzukriegen, wer es mit wem treibt. Auch komme ich nachts dazu, viel zu lesen. Heimlich schreibe ich Gedichte.

So beginnt Daddy Issues (Originalausgabe erschienen 2020) von Dino Pešut, ein Roman über die Generation, die im Kroatien der 1990er Jahre geboren wurde. Eine Geschichte über familiäre Dysfunktion, die sich mit den Herausforderungen von Freundschaft, Unabhängigkeit, Sex und Sexualität, Sterblichkeit und Klasse auseinandersetzt. Neben ausgewählten Auszügen aus Daddy Issues wird ein Monolog aus seinem Theaterstück Bomben Alarm (Originalausgabe erschienen 2021) gelesen. Bomben Alarm handelt von zwei Männern, die sich im Luftschutzbunker im bombardierten Belgrad nahekommen und 20 Jahre später in einem Berliner Club wieder treffen.

Eintritt: 10 Euro / 7 Euro (Preis inkl. MwSt, zzgl. VVK-Gebühren)
AK und VVK im Museum und über Reservix (https://www.reservix.de/)

Dino Pešut wurde 1990 in Sisak, Kroatien, geboren. Er studierte an der Akademie für dramatische Künste in Zagreb und arbeitet als Autor und Dramaturg. Als Dramaturg arbeitete er mit den Regisseuren Selma Spahić, Franka Perković, Nina Rajić Kranjac und Jernej Lorenci zusammen. Als Dramatiker wurde er zum Stueckemarkt-Programm des Theatertreffen-Festivals in Berlin eingeladen (2016) und war Stipendiat des Programms für junge Dramatiker*innen am Royal Court Theater in London (2019). Er wurde sechsmal mit dem Marin Držić-Preis ausgezeichnet, den das kroatische Kulturministerium für die besten dramatischen Texte vergibt. Im Jahr 2018 erhielt er außerdem den Deutschen Jugendtheaterpreis für sein Stück Penultimate Panda or Static. Seine Stücke wurden ins Englische, Deutsche, Französische und Polnische übersetzt und sowohl in Kroatien als auch international aufgeführt. Er hat zwei Romane geschrieben, Poderana koljena (Abgeschürfte Knie) und Tatin sin (Daddy Issues), beide erschienen bei Fraktura. Tatin sin wurde ins Englische, Slowenische, Deutsche, Spanische und Italienische übersetzt.

Neben den zahlreichen Aktivitäten des Museums in den Bereichen Performance, Tanz, Musik und Film wird mit dem FORUM LITERATUR eine explizit literarische Konstante in das Programm des Ludwig Forum Aachen eingeführt. Als integraler Bestandteil der Programmatik des Hauses sind in regelmäßigen Abständen internationale Autor*innen eingeladen, ihre Texte im Rahmen von Lesungen, Performances, Workshops, Diskussionen und Gesprächen einem breiten Publikum vorzustellen. Die erste Ausgabe des FORUM LITERATUR, die von Januar bis Dezember 2024 im Ludwig Forum Aachen stattfindet, wurde gemeinsam von Eva Birkenstock und Hermann Müller konzipiert und großzügig von der Kunststiftung NRW unterstützt. Für die Kooperation mit den Schauspielern Jonas Dumke und Luc Schneider an diesem Abend gilt unserer besonderer Dank dem Theater Aachen.

Monument to My Paper Body
Artist Lecture by Ulrike Müller
Welcome Eva Birkenstock
Sunday, 28.04.2024, 12am

Ulrike Müller’s artistic work activates relationships between abstraction and the bodies as well as a concept of painting that is not bound to brush and canvas. Müller uses a vocabulary of forms that – depending on the context and the viewer – are politically and emotionally charged and encourage figurative readings.

Ulrike Müller’s work complicates conventional expectations. Her paintings and works on paper destabilize concepts such as originality, autonomy, and authorship. Müller shifts her formal vocabulary between material and affective states and makes use of a variety of materials and techniques. Alongside small-scale paintings in baked enamel, she creates expansive murals, textiles, prints and publications.

Ulrike Müller studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and took part in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program (New York). She was co-editor of the queer-feminist magazine LTTR and from 2009-2012 organized the collaborative project Herstory Inventory. 100 Feministische Zeichnungen von 100 Künstlerinnen. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig (Mumok, Vienna, 2015), the Whitney Biennial (New York, 2017), the 57th Carnegie International (Pittsburgh, 2018), the Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen (Düsseldorf, 2018), the international exhibition of the 58th Venice Biennale (2019). From 2023-25 they will be on display as part of the exhibition Woven Histories. Textiles and Modern Abstraction (National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Museum of Modern Art, New York).

Reminder: FORUM LITERATUR “Daddy Issues” with Dino Pešut

Thursday, April 25, 2024, 7pm
FORUM LITERATUR: Daddy Issues
Reading with Dino Pešut and Jonas Dumke and Luc Schneider followed by a discussion with Eva Birkenstock (Director, Ludwig Forum Aachen) and Hermann Müller (Freelance Curator for Literature, Berlin)

I receive the news of my father’s grave illness with almost complete indifference. I’m finding it mildly annoying, like road construction… He called me just briefly; he doesn’t want to bother me too much. “I’m at work right now.” I hang up. I’m furious at my father’s potentially terminal illness. I work at the reception desk of an okay hotel… My job is not demanding—often it’s boring, but it keeps my curiosity alive. I especially like working the evening shifts and figuring out who is sleeping with whom. At night, I get to read a lot. Secretly, I write poetry.

Thus begins Daddy Issues (originally published in 2020), Dino Pešut’s novel about the generation born in 1990s Croatia. A story about familial dysfunction which tackles head-on the challenges of friendship, independence, sex and sexuality, mortality, and class. In addition to selected excerpts from Daddy Issues, a monologue from Pešut’s theater play Bombing (originally published in 2021) will be read. Bombing is about two men who meet in an air raid shelter in bombed-out Belgrade and meet again 20 years later in a Berlin club. With special thanks to Theater Aachen.

Admission: 10 Euro / 7 Euro (incl. VAT, plus pre-sale charge)
Box office in the museum and via Reservix (https://www.reservix.de/)

Dino Pešut was born in Sisak, Croatia in 1990. He graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb and works as a writer and dramaturge. As a dramaturge, he collaborated with the directors Selma Spahić, Franka Perković, Nina Rajić Kranjac and Jernej Lorenci. As a playwright, he was invited to the Stueckemarkt program at the Theatertreffen Festival in Berlin (2016) and was a resident at the program for young playwrights at the Royal Court Theater in London (2019). He has received six Marin Držić Awards given by the Croatian Ministry of Culture for best dramatic texts. In 2018, he also received the Deutscher Jugentheaterpreis award for his play Penultimate Panda or Static. His plays have been translated into English, German, French, and Polish and have been staged in theaters across Croatia and abroad. He has written two novels, Poderana koljena (Scraped knees) and Tatin sin (Daddy Issues), both published by Fraktura. Editions of Tatin sin have been translated into English, Slovene, German, Spanish and Italian.

In addition to the museum’s numerous activities in the fields of performance, dance, music and film, the FORUM LITERATUR introduces an explicitly literary constant to the program of the Ludwig Forum Aachen. From now on, international authors are invited in regular intervals to share their work with a broad public in the context of readings, performances, workshops, and conversations. The first edition of the FORUM LITERATUR takes place at the Ludwig Forum Aachen from January to December 2024. It was conceived in close dialogue between Eva Birkenstock (Director, Ludwig Forum Aachen) and Hermann Müller (Literary Curator, Berlin) and is generously supported by the Kunststiftung NRW. For the cooperation with the actors Jonas Dumke and Luc Schneider we would like to thank the Theater Aachen.

Disorder, Transmission, Love in Silence: Goro Kakei >< Carole Vanderlinden — Opening April 24

OV37
“Disorder, Transmission, Love in Silence”
Goro Kakei >< Carole Vanderlinden

Opening Wednesday April 24, from 6 to 9pm
On view from April 24 to June 29, 2024.

With ‘Disorder, Transmission, Love in Silence’, Olivier Vrankenne once again unites two oeuvres rooted in different disciplines and artistic languages and, in doing so, creates unexpected interactions and connections. This juxtaposition sparks a poetic dialogue between the Belgian artist Carole Vanderlinden (1973) and the Japanese artist Goro Kakei (1930–2021).

Carole Vanderlinden is a painter whose painting and drawing practice is enriched by 30 years of experience. Her great interest in, and knowledge of, art history encompasses various disciplines. Rather than alluding to these directly, she interprets and recombines them, allowing her own artistic language to be imbued with their impressions and considerations. With paintings that exhibit an effortless resistance to any single style or theme, she evades all categorisation. Despite this, her work remains immediately recognisable as her own.

Carole Vanderlinden’s works in the exhibition are powerful and layered. Whether the palette is vibrant or more restrained, all her works embody a certain freshness – the occasional rough edge notwithstanding. The picture plane, sometimes approached as a collage, is robustly worked. Of essential importance is the material quality of it, with its complex layering and resulting texture. Whereas in older works the traces visible along the edges of the canvas can often give a glimpse of the artist’s process, these are kept hidden in the works on display here. The artist provides these works with a frame, which is not only functional but also constitutes an integral part of the picture plane.

Goro Kakei, a renowned Japanese sculptor of the post-war period, was born in Shizuoka City on the coast of Japan and died in Tokyo. Starting in the 1950s onwards, he produced a large number of sculptures, oil paintings, drawings, etchings and lithographs, utilising a wide range of materials and techniques.

Goro Kakei’s free-spiritedness is manifest in the selection for this exhibition, which consists of smaller sculptures and works on paper made between 1989 and 2020. His love for human beings and nature are at the heart of these works, with the most prominent theme being the body. Kakei explored this subject, and variations on it, throughout his career, either by creating classical forms from a mass or by seeking subtle human expression in raw material.

If there is something Carole Vanderlinden’s oeuvre unmistakeably shares with that of Goro Kakei, it is that same free-spiritedness. It is present in the attitude with which Vanderlinden approaches and creates her works, as well as in the freedom she grants the viewer to interpret her work. She sets no limits or predetermined guidelines – neither for herself during the creative process, nor for the viewer interpreting her work. The titles Vanderlinden gives her works are sometimes affectingly pure and honest, and at other times completely unexpected. In this way, she challenges the viewer to look again from a new perspective.

Carole Vanderlinden’s flirtation with the boundaries between abstraction and the figurative is another expression of her freedom, and navigating the two is a game at which she is adept. Although largely focused on figurative art, Goro Kakei likewise sees abstraction as a genre with conventions that beg to be playfully bent. Whereas Kakei often does so directly, such that the work is made instantly readable to the viewer, Carole inhabits this twilight zone in a much more subtle way.

Despite the absolute differences between these two artists – such as in their visual language, their approach to the material, their backgrounds, lifestyles and working processes – we still see many similarities in the spirit and joy their work exudes. These qualities seem to be rooted in a significant commonality: both artists have complete trust in an intuitive approach and follow through on it. Their practices and their processes of searching break though the limits of cultural language in an attempt to transcend it. The works of Goro Kakei and Carole Vanderlinden exude a freedom and a purity that have the ability to move the viewer; they carry something fragile within them while also having a playfulness that frequently elicits a smile or a moment of reverie.

Lesung mit Dino Pešut und den Schauspielern Jonas Dumke und Luc Schneider sowie anschließendem Gespräch mit Eva Birkenstock (Direktorin, Ludwig Forum Aachen) und Hermann Müller (Freier Literaturkurator, Berlin)

Die Nachricht, dass mein Vater schwer krank ist, nehme ich beinahe gleichgültig auf. Sie irritiert mich nur ein wenig, wie irgendwelche Straßenarbeiten… Er hat mich nur kurz angerufen, er wolle nicht lange stören. “Ich bin bei der Arbeit”, ich lege auf. Ich schmolle wegen der womöglich unheilbaren Erkrankung meines Vaters. Ich arbeite an der Rezeption eines mittelmäßigen Hotels… Mein Job ist nicht anspruchsvoll, sie ist häufig langweilig, aber sie hält meine Neugier am Leben. Persönlich mag ich es am liebsten, abends zu arbeiten, um mitzukriegen, wer es mit wem treibt. Auch komme ich nachts dazu, viel zu lesen. Heimlich schreibe ich Gedichte.

Eintritt: 10 Euro / 7 Euro (Preis inkl. MwSt, zzgl. VVK-Gebühren)

Oscillation Bulletin ::: Episode 1

Posted on 22 April 202422 April 2024

workspace for experimental music and sound art

Oscillation ::: Materia Forma Bulletin ep. 1
… a first pre-festival heads-up

Dear material bodies,

You are now reading the very first sentence of our yearly series of bulletins for the Oscillation ::: Materia Forma festival, our in-house gazette that grows more intense as the festival progresses. In one week, our six-day-long sonic buffet starts, musing form, format and performance. We’re happy to report that tickets are still available for every day, but don’t wait too long (we’re thinking of last year’s broken hearts at the ticket counter). And following annual tradition, the festival will once again take place at different venues than last year: our base of operations is the VK Vaartkapoen (in their new/old place at Rue Saint-Joseph 14 in Molenbeek), with outings to the Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Molenbeek church and B********** A***S.

For those who haven’t already: time to dive into our program and find out what this year’s artists are up to: Ahnjili ZhuParris, Laura Mello, Michiko Ogawa & Lucy Railton, Evicshen, Bojana Cvejić, Gabriel Paiuk, Tim Ingold, Rim Irscheid, Leonie Persyn, Lee Patterson & Pak Yan Lau, Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh, Nina Garcia/Mariachi, Liew Niyomkarn, Enrico Malatesta, Margarida Garcia, Okkyung Lee, Natasha Pirard, Jacqueline Nova, Ana María Romano G., Giulia Rae, Floris Vanhoof, Shamica Ruddock & Hannan Jones, Franziska Windisch, Valentina Vuksic, Ji Youn Kang, Sandar Tun Tun, Jana Rush, Emilie Škrijelj & Tom Malmendier, Nika Son, Tetsuya Umeda, Jonáš Gruska. We’ll be featuring some of them in the next days, in order to guide you through this plethora of names.

Discourse program

In the afternoon of Wednesday, May 1, we will host a discourse program at Q-O2’s, bringing together five talks providing different perspectives of the topic of the festival, with contributions concerning immersion, technology, cultural conventions, and transindividuality. The afternoon will finish with a round table with all the speakers. It is free upon registration.

14:30 Doors
15:00 Bojana Cvejić – On Sensing and Moving Transindividually
15:30 Gabriel Paiuk – Listening Technicities
16:15 Giulia Rae – “Immersive” in the Context of sound and Listening
16:45 Rim Irscheid – Embracing Uncertainty and Failure in Experimental Music and Curatorial Activism
17:30 Tim Ingold – The Fountain
18:00 Round Table

Workshops

There are still some available spots for these workshops:

28.04, Ahnjili ZhuParris: Voice Cloning
03.05, Valentina Vuksic: On Doing Sonics Through the Computational
04.05, Jonáš Gruska: Walk in the Sonian Forest

Opening Whitehouse Gallery Brussels today with Anton Cotteleer / Simona Mihaela Stoia

Posted on 20 April 202420 April 2024

Vernissage Saturday April 20, 4 – 7 PM

We welcome you to Whitehouse Gallery Brussels for the opening of our new gallery with the exhibition ‘Fleshy pink, a murmur in blues’, a duo show by Anton Cotteleer & Simona Mihaela Stoia.

Anton Cotteleer & Simona Mihaela Stoia

Fleshy pink, a murmur in blues

Vernissage Saturday April 20, 4 – 7 pm

April 20 – May 23

Anton Cotteleer (°1974, Kapellen) lives and works in Kalmthout (BE). He is mainly known for the combination of modelled human and animal fragments and deconstructed domestic objects. He is interested in the relationship of humans and animals to the domestic biotope.

Ambiguities and dualities keep the work in a gray zone. Eroticism, innocence, mysticism and banality each claim their presence but are always negated by each other. Visual and content contradictions set the tone. As a result, the works are rarely explicit and remain partially elusive. In addition to memories from the collective memory, the sculptures also contain autobiographical traces; memories, whether or not fueled by personal photo material.

Simona Mihaela Stoia (°1982, RO – lives and works in Ottenburg & Overijse (BE). She studied law in Romania and subsequently obtained a Masters degree in painting at KASK in Ghent, where she currently teaches. In her layered paintings with very different colour registers, she creates a tension between intense, passionate brushstrokes and calm, reasoned surfaces. She models volumes that evoke the image of body parts, animals or plants against an abstract background. In this way she builds paintings that are at the same time sensual, mysterious, compact, open and bold.

Invitation: Druk in Leuven at Off the Grid (Friday, 26.04 – Sunday, 28.04)

Posted on 19 April 202419 April 2024

Invitation: Druk in Leuven at Off the Grid (26.04-28.04)

In the context of the word and book festival Druk in Leuven, Off the Grid (Cas-co’s residency and presentation platform) engages with the relevance of these media within contemporary art through a three-day programme of exhibitions, talks, performances, and readings, devoted to publishing as artistic practice.

Curator-in-residence Alicja Melzacka develops the programme Back-to-back, offering perspectives on artists’ writing and publishing, whilst the exhibitions by collective-in-residence Bebe Books and artist-in-residence Oya are on view in the adjacent spaces of Off the Grid. Druk In Leuven is an initiative of the city of Leuven and takes place in various locations.

‘Back-to-back: perspectives on artists’ writing and publishing’

Publishing and bookbinding terminology abounds in bodily metaphors and vocabulary borrowed from choreography, like dos à dos (‘back-to-back’) or tête-bêche (‘head-to-toe’). This dual meaning, also apparent in the festival’s title Druk (translating to both ‘edition’ and ‘pressure’), underscores publishing’s intrinsic connection to materiality – of printed matter and the writer’s/ reader’s physicality – and offers a premise for the exploration of the relationship between text and body.

Taking place across two afternoons, the programme strings together a series of diverse contributions that in some places touch each other.

Oya: ‘To Borrow’

This is a borrowed exhibition about some of the ideas Oya borrows from strangers in the practice of everyday life. Often these observations come from the most commonplace of situations, occurring when Oya is on her way to work or home, or when Oya is eating, shopping, chatting, etc. Please note that there are no original concepts here, all ideas are borrowed. Eureka, Oya has found it!

Opening: 26.04, from 6 pm-10 pm

Exhibition: 27.04-12.05, Fri.-Sun., 2-6 pm

Bebe Books: ‘Press Play’

‘Press Play’ is an open platform exploring the potentiality of queer processes of printing. As a critical response to problematics of the print culture in the West, instrumentalised for the reproduction of normative power, the copy store brings attention to slow, anachronistic, hacked, low-tech print techniques. Press Play features various print techniques facilitated through distributed agency and collaborative labour. Furthermore, it expands the concept of publishing to include broader mediums such as rice cookers and cassette tape recorders, reflecting the etymological meaning of “publishing” as “to populate.”

Opening: 26.04, from 6 pm-10 pm

Exhibition: 27.04-12.05, Fri.-Sun., 2-6 pm

Hey, hai, hoi,
We nodigen u graag uit voor het volgende:
Wir möchten Sie zu den folgenden Veranstaltungen einladen:
We would like to invite you to the following:
Nous vous invitons à participer aux événements suivants:

opening:Atelier in de stad_
25.04.2024 / 17:00

Op donderdag 25 april om 17.00 zal de burgemeester Roel Wever het nieuwe ‘Atelier in de stad’ openen. Vanaf deze plek, ín het station in Heerlen, gaan we aan de slag met kunstenaars om hun werk te ondersteunen en vanuit hun perspectief de stad te bekijken. Dit kan zich uiten in verschillende vormen; de kunstenaar die de stad verkent, verhalen van mensen verzamelt en ter plaatse tekeningen maakt of kunstenaars die zich laten inspireren door architecturale elementen of de verschillende geschiedenissen. Op deze manier willen we verschillende perspectieven delen met de stad, haar inwoners en bezoekers. De nieuwe locatie, die we kunnen gebruiken door de samenwerking met NS Stations, biedt daar de mogelijkheid voor.

We willen graag de visie van de verschillende kunstenaars op de stad delen en daarom tonen we sinds onze oprichting kunst in openbare ruimtes. Denk aan onze projecten op grote billboards of op vlaggen verspreid in de stad en de regio (zie: What the flag?! ). Vaak maken we gebruik van tijdelijk leegstaande winkelpanden of etalages. Eerder hebben we in onze etalage aan de Nieuwstraat in Hoensbroek onder de noemer “Display” kunst getoond uit musea en privéverzamelingen uit de regio. In 2021 hebben we tijdens Cultura Nova het werk van twaalf verschillend kunstenaars gepresenteerd in het een route langs etalages in het centrum van Heerlen onder de noemer ‘Night Shift‘. Het eerste ‘Atelier in de stad’ vond plaats in 2022/2023 in een ruimte aan het Maanplein, dit werd een plek waar verschillende kunstenaars hebben kunnen werken en elkaar konden ontmoeten.

De eerste kunstenaar die het Atelier in de stad gaat gebruiken is Ward Willems. Hij zal het gebruiken als uitvalsbasis en ontmoetingsplek om verhalen van mensen in het centrum te tekenen.

De opening vindt plaats op donderdag 25 april om 17:00 in het Atelier in de stad (in het Maankwartier aangrenzend aan de NS stationshal).

& afsluiting expositie Pharmakon
Talk II communities 21.04.2024 /13:00-15:00

(NL) Zoef Mashaldina organiseert als afsluiting van haar residentie bij Greylight Projects de expositie Pharmakon. Deze opent op 23 maart met een festival en zal aansluitend tot 21 april geopend zijn als expositie met een aanvullend publieksprogramma. Dit event is de derde van vier events van het publieksprogramma.

Als afsluiting zal er op zondag 21 april om 13:00 een tweede Talk georganiseerd worden.

Talk II: Waar begint en stopt gemeenschappelijkheid? Op zondag 21 april om 13:00 uur zal de tweede talk plaatsvinden.

Deze talk zal een discussie zijn rondom de noodzaak maar ook de grenzen van gemeenschappelijkheid. Binnen de kunstwereld, maar ook daarbuiten wordt steeds meer gesproken over het belang van gemeenschap. Of moeten we het hebben over een collectief of community in plaats van over gemeenschap? En zit daar verschil tussen? Vaak worden deze gevormd als oplossing voor een bepaald probleem. Zeker in de huidige tijd lijkt het een nodig alternatief voor een samenleving die steeds individualistischer wordt. Maar wat is een gemeenschap eigenlijk?

[dinA] Dannie.p by désespiègles
26/04/2024 – book launch

[EN] Dannie.p is composed and printed by desespiegles on the risograph. The artists-architects duo took form along a poetic exchange of vidéolettres. Jolien Naeyaert and Anne Philippe distilled this intimate material from the Covid era and turned it into a haptic and playful book that reflects their way of working.

[NL] Dannie.p is gecureerd door Jolien Naeyaert en Anne Philippe en gedrukt met de risograaf. Het kunstenaars-architecten duo desespiegles vormde zich doorheen een reeks vidéolettres in de Covid periode. Dannie.p biedt een nieuwe blik op hun intieme uitwisseling, als boek object dat hun poëzie en speelse manier van werken reflecteert.

[FR] Dannie.p se présente comme objet-livre manifeste d’une manière de penser
« desespiegles ». Elle “traduit” le travail de la pensée par l’échange de ‘vidéolettres’ qu’Anne Philippe et Jolien Naeyaert, architectes-artistes ont engagées, particulièrement pendant la période de confinement.

Three Categories

LIVE radio show hosted by Dóra Benyó in collaboration with
Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence

Haus der Statistik | Tuesday, 23 April, 7–8 pm

Three Categories is a collaborative radio performance featuring Dutch/Hungarian artist Dóra Benyó and the Belgo-German artist duo Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence (O.J.A.I.), composed of Chris Dreier and Gary Farrelly. Central to the piece are the declassified secret police files compiled after the surveillance of Benyó’s grandfather, an academic and political activist during Hungary’s communist era. The title of the work stems from the categories of loyalty to the state citizens were classified into at the time.

Benyó’s collaboration with O.J.A.I. reimagines the architecture of the state archive, transforming it into a conceptual space representing totalitarian overreach through the excessive production of knowledge. O.J.A.I. contributes to this transformation by creating paranoid organizational atmospheres, conveyed through a series of fictional texts and modular sound compositions.

The collective listening session will take place at Haus der Statistik. Please RSVP to

Broadcasted through Colaboradio via Freies Radio Berlin/Brandenburg 88,4 MHz in Berlin 90,7 MHz in Potsdam or listen online.

This radio performance is situated within the framework of Dóra Benyó’s residency at ABA Air Berlin Alexanderplatz, generously supported by the Mondriaan Fund. Farrelly’s practice is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.

ABA Bookstop

Haus der Statistik | Saturday 4 May, 2–8 pm

ABA is mindful of the saturation of ‘new’ publications in the context of material production. Therefore, we would like to challenge this idea together with the presentation of our archive of publications at Ko-Markt at Haus der Statistik We propose a discussion on the recontextualization of bookmaking, book showing, and book honouring.

ABA BOOKSTOP is a container-turned-reading room located at Alexanderplatz where visitors can access artists’ reading materials and artist publications. It aims to provide a space for reflection with regards to artist publications and offers a monthly collection of reading material on a specific topic in a free setting.

April Interjection: Saturday 4th of February by Issy Wood

Issy Wood is an American artist known for her paintings and pop music who lives and works in London, England.

New Scores imprint: Sam Cottington’s Phone Plays

Phone Plays is the first publication in Scores, a new imprint co-commissioned by Montez Press and London Performance Studios that publishes scripts and performance texts by artists, theatre-makers and performance-makers working between the visual and theatrical arts. Intended to be performed live over the phone, Sam Cottington’s Phone Plays invite readers and audience members alike to engage with a series of unclear relationships and scenarios, invoked and mediated by contemporary communication technology.

Sam Cottington is an artist and writer living between London and Frankfurt. Through interdisciplinary experiments in collage he often presents “reality” as contradictory and mutable; the product of specific historical and social economies. The production and trajectories of the theatre, the family, and desiring subjectivities are recurrent in his practice, often culminating in devised interventions which address their formal capacities as well as their audiences expectations. His first book ‘People Person’ was published by JOAN, and he’s presented work in London and internationally at Ginny on Frederick (London), Zaza (Milan), and Yaby (Madrid).

London Performance Studios is a queer container for the research, generation, and promotion of artistic voices that meet in the space between the white cube of the gallery and the black box of the theatre. LPS seeks to queer artistic process, operating within radically transparent and intersectional structures. We champion the politics of making a scene, whether on stage or out in the world.

Sam Cottington’s exhibition at London Performance Studios, BLANKS, is on from Thu 18 – Sun 28 April 2024 / 12-5 PM.

Book Launch – Magali Reus

Red Roses

Galerie Greta Meert and nai010 publishers are delighted to welcome you at 18:30 on April 24th at Galerie Greta Meert on occasion of the launch of Magali Reus’ new publication, Red Roses.

Please RSVP for the event at the following link.

Program

18:30: Welcome gathering in 2nd floor exhibition space

19:00: Talk between Magali Reus and Heleen Debruyne (journalist and writer), discussing the artist’s œuvre and the new publication Red Roses, followed by a guided tour of the exhibition HOTELS, led by Magali Reus herself

20:00 — 21:00: book signing

About the book

Red Roses shows the extraordinary artistic practice of this internationally acclaimed London-based artist and winner of the prestigious Prix de Rome 2015. The publication features a range of recent works.

Magali Reus (b. 1981, The Hague) has been creating hyper-realistic sculptures for more than a decade. She represents, redefines, enlarges and deforms everyday objects in various materials and using surprising combinations of digital, manual and industrial processes.

Reus’s work explores our relationship with utilitarian objects and the inextricable context of consumer society. Her virtuoso objects appear functional, but do not explicitly reveal what their function actually is. By investigating our relationship with objects, Reus is looking for a strategy to critically interrogate the production and consumption processes of our society.

Red Roses was produced in collaboration with the following partners:

Museum Dhondt Dhaenens
Centre d’art contemporain – la synagogue de Delme
Atelier Calder
Galerie Fons Welters
The Approach Gallery
Galerie Greta Meert
Mondriaan Fonds
Jaap Harten Fonds
De Gijselaar-Hintzenfonds

Book
Éliane Radigue – Intermediary Spaces / Espaces intermédiaires – Julia Eckhardt

Éliane Radigue (born 1932 in Paris) is considered one of the most innovative and influential contemporary composers. From her early electronic music through to her acoustic work of the last fifteen years, she unfolds an intensity which is at once subtle and monumental. Through her deep reflections on sound and listening, not only her music but also her working methods have come to shape a widely resonating set of new parameters for working with sound as musical material.This second extended edition of the book on composer Éliane Radigue adds a new chapter to the otherwise unchanged conversations which made the body of the first edition, published in 2019. The book is available at the Q-O2 workspace and via Les Presses du Réel. More information on the umland website.

Expanded Publishing Fest #2

19 April, 19:00-03:00 @ OT301, Amsterdam
free entry

I have lost my keys in cyberspace and now I can’t enter my house.

I spilled that digital porridge and my computer stopped working.

My metaverse shoes got drenched and now I’m near hypothermia.

Join us on Friday the 19th of April for for a program of performances and talks, a micro book fair, a live tactical television broadcast, and a club night at OT301 in Amsterdam!

From cloud to matter, from thought to cables, from light to meaning, from void to being. Our internet-connected devices hold an unprecedented power to multiply us into a manifold of realities. The conventional way to conceptualize this is segregational – we “space-out” and we’re in cyberspace. However, the escapist “spacing-out” is only one part of the picture. Let’s space-in.
