Spring Overtoons

Hello again!

I must admit it feels a bit strange to be sending out something like a “Newsletter” these days – to act as though anything can just continue on as usual.

Did you read about the obscene attempt to weaponize the respectability of John Cage against the pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University? A small account of that is here. I mention this both to have an excuse to broadcast love and gratitude to the embattled encampments across the US and beyond, as well to underscore a case of sound’s supposed pastoral neutrality being explicitly undergirded by a reactionary political agenda. This is precisely the ideological notion of “sound” that I hope we can thoroughly dissemble in the work we support at Overtoon.

Saying that, I’m writing today with some updates about the state of Overtoon.

About the podcast announced in our last communique (Instead of “sound art,” say: abrasion, a dirge, willed from the other side of a leaky room, undisciplined, celebrative, dangerous, always emerging.), so far, we’ve released 4 of the 8 episodes. You can listen to those 4 directly here:

The next episode, featuring Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman, will be released next Thursday, May 9th.

Since we were last in touch in February we’ve hosted 3 more residencies – with New York-based sound artist Woody Sullender, and emerging Brussels-based artists Stan Litjens, & Anouk Kellner (who is in residence in our workspace right now).

Tons more is in store for Overtoon that we’ll be excited to update you all on as soon as possible including:

  • Overtoon’s brand new FELLOWSHIP program

  • Overtoon’s new website (being made as you read this by OSP)

  • And last but not least, Overtoon’s NEW SPACE!

Finally, a small heads-up: I will be in Brussels at the end of May to participate in a discussion hosted by the Flanders Art Institute. The panel follows a key-note by the wonderful artist Yazan Khalili. More information about the event is here: https://register.kunsten.be/en/meeting-programmes/detail/75/public-talk-truth-to-power-in-the-arts

Such much for now,

Bill

Which artist from yesterday’s line-up are you? Oscillation Bulletin ::: Episode 5

Oscillation ::: Materia Forma Bulletin ep. 5
…Which artist from yesterday’s line-up are you?

Dear reading entity,

It’s time for our first outing: after two grandiose nights at VK we’re moving two blocks away tonight, to the exceptional Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Molenbeek church.

Today’s timetable:
 

20:00 Liew Niyomkarn: Through various tunings and the creation of resonances, Niyomkarm explores harmonics and tones using zither, building tension and repeat tones that weave into one another to create a new way of listening.
20:45 Enrico Malatesta: ‘Deriva di un Sonno Incert’o combines Malatesta’s personal research on percussion instruments with the dense and complex topic of the role of time/duration in performance practice, sound production and modes of listening. This new series of performances are inspired by the use and re-discovery of an ancient device for indicating the passage of time: the candle-clock.
22:15 Margarida Garcia: ‘Four Negatives’ is a piece created by weaving different lines of repetitions into each other, adding one line after another. Each musical phrase, around 6 minutes long, is played back unaffected, joining the existing lines.
22:45 Okkyung Lee: Cellist, composer, and improviser who moves freely between artistic disciplines and contingencies. Since 2000 she has worked in disparate contexts as a solo artist and collaborator with creators in a wide range of disciplines. A native of South Korea, Lee has taken a broad array of inspirations—including noise, improvisation, jazz, western classical, and the traditional and popular music of her homeland—and used them to forge a highly distinctive approach.

Deze nieuwsbrief laat je weten wat er in de Appel te doen is in de maand mei. We zijn erg enthousiast over het verwelkomen van vele samenwerkingen, het luisteren naar verhalen uit Beiroet, dansen voor een vrij Palestina, discussiëren over de grenzen van het recht, het verwelkomen van kinderen, tieners en hun ouders om samen brieven te schrijven, en nodigen je uit om je aan te melden voor onze nieuwe Curatorial Programme Summer School. We hopen velen van jullie te zien.
 
 

Vrijdag 3 mei & vrijdag 10 mei: Edgelanders tentoonstellingstour

CReyes DeAppel Edgelanders

Kunstenaars Ehsan Fardjadniya en Raul Balai geven een rondleiding door hun tentoonstelling Edgelanders: Amsterdam on Trial / Part III: The Witnesses, waar zij vertellen over de werken die te zien zijn in de Appel en het overkoepelende project. De tours vinden plaats op vrijdag 3 en 10 mei, om 17:00 uur.

Zondag 5 mei: Mirroring in samenwerking met Mirror Soup Kitchen

Img

De Appel sluit zich aan bij de verschillende spiegelende solidariteitsevenementen in de Uitkijk, De Sloot/De Sering en Theater Bellevue op uitnodiging van Mirror Soup Kitchen. Op het programma staan de vertoningen van The One Minutes Series ‘Mirroring’ samengesteld door Seda Yıldırım, Werkplaats Typografie (2004, NL, 14 min), een lezing door Mirror Soup Kitchen en een Palestijnse Dabke dansworkshop met een choreografie van de El-Funoun Palestinian Popular Dance, in Ramallah.

De dabke workshop is de Appel’s interpretatie van wat het betekent om te spiegelen; om solidair te zijn met een volk dat een genocide en apartheid ondergaat, door middel van een belichaamde praktijk; dabke, een dans die al generaties lang verbonden is met land, erfgoed en veerkracht.

De workshop vindt plaats op zondag 5 mei tussen 16:00 en 18:30 uur.

Dinsdag 7 mei: The story of a house door Tony Chakar i.s.m. Van Abbemuseum

The story of house header

Het Van Abbemuseum en de Appel zijn verheugd kunstenaar Tony Chakar uit te nodigen en te ontvangen, die op uitnodiging van het Van Abbemuseum in mei 2024 in Nederland zal verblijven.

Tony schrijft het volgende over zijn lecture-performance: “Sinds de lockdown ben ik nergens meer geweest. In die tijd hadden we in Beiroet een mislukte revolutie, een economische ineenstorting en een van de grootste niet-nucleaire explosies in de geschiedenis. Veel mensen vertrokken, maar ik bleef. Ik begon met het repareren van een oud huis in een afgelegen dorp, op anderhalf uur rijden van Beiroet. Het dorp is prachtig, bijna idyllisch, en het huis ook. Maar hoe meer ik groef, fysiek en figuurlijk, hoe meer ik daar bleef, hoe meer geheimen ik ontdekte. Ik kom naar Amsterdam om het verhaal van dat huis te vertellen, want dat is eigenlijk het enige wat ik kan. En is dat niet wat kunstenaars doen, verhalen vertellen?”

Gelieve te reserveren vanwege de beperkte capaciteit

 
 

Zondag 11 mei: Palestina Fundraiser Festival i.s.m. Cinetol

De oorlog in Palestina blijft een urgente oproep voor actie. Met het onmenselijke geweld en daarbij de medische nood die blijven voortduren, is het noodzakelijk dat we dit onder de aandacht blijven brengen en middelen inzamelen om te kunnen helpen. Alle opbrengsten van dit evenement zullen worden gedoneerd aan twee belangrijke organisaties: “Urgent Support for Medical Professionals in Gaza” en “Emergency Medical Relief for Gaza Refugees”. Lees meer over deze fondsen via onderstaande links. De Appel neemt deel aan de fundraiser met een Kiosk, waarbij we prints verkopen van kunstenaars Wouter Stroet, Victor Santamarina, Arvo Leo, Karin Iturralde Nurnberg en Marishka Soekarna.

Vind de Kiosk bij Cinetol (naast de Appel, Tolstraat 182) tussen 17:00 en 20:00 uur. Meer informatie over de fundraiser is te vinden op de website van Cinetol.

 
 

Dinsdag 14 mei: Why Germany Lezingenreeks

Why germany

Why Germany is een internationale lezingenreeks over de onderdrukking van het vrije woord in Duitsland en daarbuiten. In Duitsland waren enkele van de meest effectieve actoren in de intimidatie van Palestijnen en hun bondgenoten de afgelopen maanden culturele podia, kunstscholen en universiteiten. De vijandigheid tegenover het opkomen voor Palestijnse levens is groter dan de recente escalaties in Europa of de VS: de blokkade is grondiger, het taalgebruik haatdragender, de maatregelen extremer. Met behulp van historische perspectieven en specifieke casestudy’s van Duitse kunstacademies en universiteiten gaat deze serie in op de eclips van het vrije woord en de vertakkingen daarvan voor lokale culturele landschappen, maar ook voor buren en bondgenoten – en niet te vergeten voor Palestina zelf. Deze wekelijkse lezingen worden georganiseerd door een netwerk van instellingen dat in de loop van de tijd zal groeien. Door middel van een doorlopend programma creëert het een ruimte voor creatieve, geïnformeerde en weloverwogen expressie. Belangrijk is dat de serie verder gaat dan kritiek alleen en strategieën voor de toekomst voorstelt: welke talen, allianties, beleid en ondersteuningssystemen kunnen op de langere termijn een zekere mate van autonomie garanderen?

De Zoom-link, alsook meer lezingen van partnerinstellingen, worden binnenkort op deze pagina aangekondigd.

 
 

Zaterdag 18 mei: On the Limits of the Law and People’s Tribunals

Edgelanders Symposium

Het symposium is ter gelegenheid van de tentoonstelling Edgelanders: Amsterdam on Trial / Part III: The Witnesses. Met dit meerdelige project bouwen kunstenaars Ehsan Fardjadniya en Raul Balai aan materiaal voor een volkstribunaal tegen de stad Amsterdam met betrekking tot het recht op huisvesting voor ongedocumenteerden.

Tijdens het symposium stellen we samen een aantal vragen door de lenzen van verschillende projecten, waaronder Edgelanders: Als de staat niet handelt in overeenstemming met rechtvaardigheid en mensenrechten, waar zoeken wij (gedocumenteerden en ongedocumenteerden) dan rechtvaardigheid? Waarom handelt de staat niet in overeenstemming met de ingestelde rechtssystemen? En wat zijn de grenzen van het recht? Waar kunnen we terecht voor waarheidsvinding en verzoening? Hoe kunnen we de staat ter verantwoording roepen? Hoe kunnen volkstribunalen bredere sociale en politieke veranderingen teweegbrengen, inclusief beleidshervormingen, campagnes voor pleitbezorging en mobilisatie van de bevolking? Hoe kunnen we de stemmen van degenen die onderdrukking ervaren centraal stellen in het proces van gerechtigheid?

Deelnemers zijn onder andere advocaten Pim Fischer en Domenica Ghidei, kunstenaar Robin Vanbesien (met zijn recente project Hold on to her) en Gable Roelofsen (The Shell Trials).

Het symposium vindt plaats in de Appel en Cinetol. Tickets zijn hier verkrijgbaar.

 
 

Open call: Curatorial Programme Summer School

Summer School Open Call Instagram

De Summer School wordt gelanceerd ter gelegenheid van de 30e jubileum van het Curatorial Programme van de Appel en brengt curatoren, kunstenaars, activisten en docenten samen met een focus op land, eigendom en collectivisatie.

Eigendom van land staat centraal in de strijd rond de milieucrisis, landjepik, sociale huisvesting, gentrificatie, koloniaal kolonialisme en veel meer. In de huidige context van het laatkapitalisme is land handelswaar geworden. We zien politieke en sociale bewegingen over de hele wereld die strijden voor vrije en eerlijke toegang tot land en haar hulpbronnen. Kunstenaars maken een belangrijk deel uit van deze strijd, ze omarmen en experimenteren met gedeeld eigendom en verschillende vormen van gemeengoed. In de Summer School zullen we samen leren over artistieke en curatoriële manieren om ons bezig te houden met, en op te komen voor land en plaats, als culturele werkers, instellingen of gemeenschappen.

Oscillation ::: Materia Forma Bulletin ep. 4
…immersed

Beloved material vessels,

Aaaand so that’s what it felt like, right? The excitement of an opening night: neatly timed schedules that became obsolete faster than wanted, devising clever systems to give people wristbands, the warmest hangouts with our beloved Oscillation crowd between and after performances, … Addictive it was, and still is.

All these feelings, accompanied by Laura Mello’s whimsical media mingling of sound poetry and synth pulses, Michiko Ogawa & Lucy Railton’s hypnotic circular timbre explorations, and Evicshen’s spectacular DIY noise shenanigans. We felt immersed right away.

Today’s timetable

Discourse program at Q-O2 (sold out):

14:30 Doors
15:00 Bojana Cvejić – Listening, 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

Evening program at VK Vaarktapoen (tickets still available at the doors):

20:00 Lee Patterson & Pak Yan Lau: In May of 2023, Pak Yan Lau and Lee Patterson met and played for the first time together in Manchester. This meeting brought out their similar interest of listening and sound treatments, but different approaches to execution and projection. Pak Yan felt a direct kinship to the way Lee was processing his ‘invisible’ sounds, like the chemical reaction of chalk in water or the footsteps of an ant. Pak Yan and Lee aim to meet in a sound space and trace common and uncommon grounds, categorizing each sound into an eclectic system.

21:00 Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh: The interaction of live instrumentation with pre-recorded sound reflects upon the sonic and social experience of the area in which Ailbhe lives in Glasgow, and its proximity to BAE Systems, Britain’s largest arms manufacturer. She aims to create a performance that reflects both the subjective experience of this presence in her neighbourhood and the impact that its output has on the greater world. What is created here leads to destruction elsewhere.

22:00 Nina Garcia/Mariachi: Since 2015, Nina Garcia has been conducting research and creation work around the electric guitar, halfway between improvised music and noise. Her device is reduced to a minimum: a guitar, a pedal, an amp with which she carves the sound and digs into the chaos to bring out the unheard of. For her solo “Mariachi”, the attention is given to the gesture and to the research on the instrument, its resonances, its limits, its extensions, its impurities, its audible corners: to go with or against it, to contain it or to let it sound, to support it or to violate it. A duo more than a solo: A convergence of wildness and tenderness with her instrument, a tense body to body between two vibrant souls for a music and a choreography with raw poetry.

Diana Duta provides the foyer with (live!) music tonight.

And, a final heads-up for the workshops: don’t forget to reserve your places, they are almost sold out!

Only starting,

Oscillation ::: Materia Forma Bulletin ep. 3
…finishing touches

Esteemed corporeal forms,

Our sonic feast will be opened tonight at VK Vaartkapoen in Molenbeek. Ok, it is the sixth edition of the festival, but its number is apparently not inversely proportional to the amount of excitement we feel at its onset. Unlike last year, day tickets will still be available at the doors (except for the discourse program, which is sold out), as well as dinner, which will be provided by VK the days we’re at their place. And as for the pre-, inter-, and post-performance hangouts that Oscillation fans have come to love, this year they’ll be sound-tracked by some of Q-O2’s extended family: starting tomorrow with the Brussels-based artist Soumaya Phéline (Club Détour / Psst Mlle).

Tonight’s timetable:

20:00 – Laura Mello – Composing For Many Media Including Me: Composing For Many Media Including Me is a self-referential performance series composed through the media of sound, video, experimental electronics and the performer herself. In each new performance, composition is approached via the tension between the fixed and the improvisational. The culturally-determined power relations in the construction of the performer’s body, as well as the potential and limits of the technical media used, are performatively questioned in interaction with each other.

21:00 – Michiko Ogawa & Lucy Railton – Fragments of ReincarnationFragments of Reincarnation began as a timbral exploration of the combined tuning systems of our instruments: the shō (Pythagorean tuning with a frequency of A=440 Hz fundamental, including fluctuation with inhalation and exhalation), cello (flexible, of course) and Hammond organ (equal temperament, broken). The structure of the piece is loosely based on the round shape of the shō and the 11 gagaku chords of ‘aitake’, moving through progressions that overlap and smudge, unfold in variations and demolish in cycles. The title Fragments of Reincarnation draws from these thoughts and how each voice emerges and disappears in the shimmer of the dusty old hammond organ.

22:15 – Evicshen: Evicshen is the nom de guerre of sound artist, experimental music performer, and inventor, Victoria Shen. Shen’s sound practice is concerned with the spatiality/physicality of sound and its relationship to the human body. Her music features analogue modular synthesisers, vinyl/resin records, and self-built electronics. Shen’s music eschews conventions of harmony and rhythm in favour of extreme textures and gestural tones.

Forever’s gonna start tonight,

The Oscillation Department

Oscillation Bulletin ::: Episode 2


 workspace for experimental music and sound art

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

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!

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)

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.

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

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)

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

e1f6bcc8-8c86-4ba4-b0ad-306f7706d233.jpg “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.

Oscillation Bulletin ::: Episode 1

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.

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

 
 
 

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)

‘Back-to-back’ programme; Openings: Oya & Bebe Books


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. 

Saturday, 27.04.24

13:00 – Alicja Melzacka, ‘Smudged-glass writing’,
discussion group on writing and illness

15:30 – Jeroen Peeters, ‘A table’, lecture-performance

16:15 – Clara Amaral, ‘Do you remember that time we were together and danced this or that dance?’, performance

17:00 – Francesca Hawker, ‘Into Eels’, table-read

17:30 – ‘Back-to-back’, Q&A with programme participants

Sunday, 28.04.24

13:00 – Reinier Vrancken, ‘Teeth Surrounding a Flower in the Meanings’, conversation

14:00 – Martha Jager (Dear,) & Isabelle Sully (Unbidden Tongues), ‘Messy Keynote’

15:00 – Henry Andersen, ‘DS’, reading

15:30 – Kate Briggs, ‘The Long Form’, passages translated by Will Holder

16.00* – Bebe Books, artist talk (*part of ‘Let’s Talk Leuven’ series)

17:00 – ‘Back-to-back’, Q&A with programme participants

17:30 – Playbill (Martha Jager & Isabelle Sully), ‘Budget Statements 2022’, performance


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

Do not miss: Bebe Books, artist talk (Let’s Talk Leuven): 28.04, 4 pm

Greylight Projects - platform for art & culture

 

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.
