not kosovo
reaktive Videoinstallation

Burgschänke / Kaminraum

Wollseifen als Stätte der praktizierten Geschichtsschreibung und –verdrängung: Vertreibung der Bewohner, Areal für Kriegs-Spiel (bezeichnenderweise nach dem 2. Weltkrieg), Kriegerische Nutz-Architektur, sogar Neubauten, nachdem die ehemaligen Gebäude weggeschossen waren, architektonische Symbolik des Balkankriegs.
Die Installation ist nicht Ersatz für den Ort selbst und soll nicht den Eindruck einer Dokumentation erwecken. Im Gegenteil fordert sie dazu auf, den Ort selbst aufzusuchen.

Exhibition: APPEARANCE / AUFTRITT @ EUROPEAN KUNSTHALLE, Ebertplatz Cologne

APPEARANCE / AUFTRITT  september 11th – october 10th 2009
introducing
JULIA SCHER
„Predictive Engineering (Audio)“, 2009
september 11th – 17th 2009
opening friday september 11th 2009, 7 pm

“Appearance / Auftritt” is the title for the European Kunsthalle’s program at Ebertplatz in September/October 2009. In weekly change, four internationally renowned artists – Julia Scher, Katja Davar, Miriam Bäckström und Yane Calovski – appear in a series of short exhibitions. Presented within the context of the European Kunsthalle c/o Ebertplatz, the projects resonate in an interesting way.

Julia Scher’s audio installation “Predictive Engineering (Audio)”, 2009, is the starting project. A mixture of seduction and authoritarian commands, a disembodied female voice evokes various imaginary zones in order to instruct passers-by “collective security”. Referring to various surveillance and control techniques, “Predictive Engineering (Audio)”, 2009, critically reflects the widespread promise that these technologies allow us to steer and construe human behaviour.

Challenging Space in the Era of Google Maps

Posted by

Workshop by artist Michelle Teran – Fri 4th Sep
XIV biennial of Young Artists in Skopje, Macedonia

Trampoline will host the workshop “Challenging Space in the Era of Google Maps” run by Canadian artist Michelle Teran who will guide a group of 15 participants through practical, participatory and theoretical examples of the way that the use of advanced location based technologies in cities has given rise to an emergent form of physical terrain that we can call hybrid space.

During the 6 hour long workshop, the participants will be taken on an exploration of the city (via the internet and via a city walk) in a hunt for local broadcasts tracked via YouTube and Google Maps. Finding them, mapping them, understanding the narrative – Michelle and Trampoline’s Mat Trivett will weave together a new mesh of ideas from the threads connecting hybrid spaces.

The participants are invited to bring their digital devices. For registration, please contact the BJCEM Biennial Team directly.

Fri 4th Sep / 1-7pm at Creativity House, Conference Room, Skopje, Macedonia

Now is the time to act!

Now is the time to act! Please voice your support for the Contemporary Art Tower in Vienna

Dear Friend of the MAK Center:

For those of you who have signed the petition to support the CAT in Vienna, we thank you. If you have not done so, there is still time!

About the CAT
Our parent institution in Vienna, MAK (Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art) has begun an innovative plan to convert a World War II anti-aircraft “flak” tower located at the center of the city into a vital international center for contemporary art. Through this project, called the Contemporary Art Tower (CAT), the MAK proposes a groundbreaking and affordable strategy for establishing an international collection in the 21st century.

The idea behind CAT is to invite international artists to participate in residencies during which they will create site-responsive permanent works at the flak tower. Plans for the CAT include exhibition spaces, studios, workshops, and an auditorium.

Over time, the amassed collection of contemporary art and new media at the CAT will be unique in Austria and will make obsolete the kind of art purchases that today have become prohibitively expensive for museums.
!
Distinguished artists Jenny Holzer and James Turrell hav! e alread y created artistic interventions for this site. Renowned artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have lent their support by designing a special stamp block issued in 2009 by the Austrian Postal Service.

Unfortunately, the CAT project is now facing opposition from a citizen’s initiative in Vienna and is at risk of being lost forever.

Your help is crucial to ensure that this somber historic site will become a lively center for contemporary art and the home of a unique collection of the 21st century.

Please support its realization with your signature at the following link:

long wave (2009) by D. Rokeby

Posted by

“long wave” is a materialization of a radio wave, a normally invisible, but constantly present feature of environment. It represents the length of a radio wave in the short-wave radio band, in between the sizes of AM and FM radio waves. In our contemporary wireless environment, populated by tiny centimeter long wifi transmissions, these radio waves are really the dinosaurs of our communications era. Appropriately, “long wave” also resembles the suspended backbone of an oversized brontosaurus.
