THE PERFORMANCES - WEEK FOUR / LAST WEEK! / 27 to 31 JULY

Last week: 27 to 31 July

Lübecker Str. 14, 10559 Berlin-Tiergarten

www.theoffice.li

All performances start at 7:45 pm.

THE PERFORMANCES is a series of events that are taking place at a storefront in the neighborhood of Tiergarten throughout July 2009.

THE PERFORMANCES is organized by THE OFFICE.

Based in Berlin, THE OFFICE temporarily occupies empty spaces throughout the city. The goal is to re-discover Berlin, to channel and transmit information, and provide space for discursive thinking around the arts. THE OFFICE is a collaboration between Ellen Blumenstein, Katharina Fichtner, Maribel Lopez and Kathrin Meyer. Founded in May 2009, THE OFFICE explores different models of cooperation between curators, writers and artists outside of the institutional context.

"Nora"

A Microdrama by Kerstin Cmelka

"In my collection of "Microdramas" I use excerpts from existing dramatic texts as well as clichéd feature film scenes and theatrical shorts that already found their form, function and meaning as well as their audience in order to rehearse and perform them – for camera and live – with friends acting as amateur performers. The potential of language, gesture and mimicry in this folk-like theatre play material lies in its rhythmical, bodily rehearsal and repetitive use and mediation and is reinforced and brought onto another plain of meanings and connotations through the hermetic and intimate atmosphere in which it is trained in. Its format is expanded through the coexistence of privacy and the identification with the suggested characters that have to be performed." (Kerstin Cmelka)

Daniel Müller-Friedrichsen

"Insert subtitle here"

Daniel Mueller-Friedrichsen works resolving the borders between performance, documentary and cinema. He makes correlations between the media and the nature of documentation as a unique performance itself. The videos and performances become a narrative tableau including a performative character in production process, linguistic-ness through text, association and in ephemeral existentiality. The setting and staging of the performance-film becomes a performance itself by repeating and duplicating the experience of the authentic. Its not only a filmed past, it provokes its own new performance.

Opening: New Cultural Agencies



New Cultural Agencies

Opening on 24 July 2009 at 5pm
Kazımkarabekir Caddesi, Gülensu, Istanbul
A Project by Shahab Fotouhi, Giorgio Giusti, Oliver Heinzenberger, Nikolaus Hirsch, Martin Kirchner, Philipp Misselwitz, Oda Projesi, Kirsten Reibold, Ala Roushan, Ece Sariyuz, Federico Del Vecchio

Curated by Nikolaus Hirsch, Philipp Misselwitz and Oda Projesi

"New Cultural Agencies" seeks to develop contemporary models of cultural collaboration and institutional practice. The project instigates new forms of cooperation between artists, architects, and communities at Istanbul's vast and fast changing periphery. While current planning for the Istanbul Biennial 2009 and Istanbul's European Capital of Culture 2010 celebrations will focus on the historic city center, "New Cultural Agencies" will break out of the cultural bubble and shift focus on the narratives of Istanbulites inhabiting the largely ignored and illegally developed periphery. Here, traditional typologies of cultural institutions – museum, gallery, library, theater - that accumulate in the centre are absent. Hidden to the gaze of an outsider, the apparent void has been occupied by a multitude of new forms of "agency", informal, semi-formal, familial, kinship based, communal, religious, political. The absence of a formal infrastructure has been compensated for through the combined spirit of free agency, self-help and improvisation, or as an expression of simply surviving and coping with.

"New Cultural Agencies" attempts to forge a relationship with local communities, conduct multi-disciplinary field work and eventually develop ideas and visions of how to consolidate specific forms of agency, to imagine and implement prototypes for object collections, oral histories and magazine projects, as well as to plug into the existing infrastructure of one of the major, globally acting cultural institutions such as Platform Garanti in Istanbul's centre. Thus "New Cultural Agencies" will not produce landmark projects of the kind produced in the city centre for 2010. Instead, a multitude of small interventions, new links and forms of mutual access will emerge. The first step is the conversion of a former shop into a quasi-institutional base for multiple agencies in Gülensü-Gülsuyu.

The two neighbourhoods are located to the north of the E-5 highway within Istanbul's Asian Maltepe district. They were illegally established when immigrants from eastern Anatolia (Erzincan, Sivas, Tunceli) arrived in the early 1960s. Soon gecekondus in the area proliferated, forming a dense tapestry, which covers the entire hillside and gradually acquired urban complexity and distinct local identity. Since the 1970s, local activism and solidarity networks formed a unique social tissue, which still endures. This also includes a rich spectrum of collective practices, which provides an insight into the inventiveness, creativity and collective determination to construct alternative cultural infrastructures based on improvisation. Current masterplanning of the municipality seeks to exploit the prime real estate value of the neighbourhood, located within an earthquake safe zone and offering unique panoramic views across the Marmara Sea and Princess Islands. If plans are realized, both neighbourhoods will be replaced with new upmarket housing and most of its inhabitants will be displaced.

Film Screening: "La Commune (Paris, 1871)" at »Faites votre jeu!« 25.7. - 11.00 AM

*La Commune (Paris, 1871)*

presented by /Rebond pour la Commune/ and the Free Class FFM.

*July 25th. 11.00 am*, at the Altes Polizeigefängnis,
Klapperfeldgasse 5 (Near Konstablerwache).

In Peter Watkins film La Commune (Paris, 1871) more than 200 actors interpret characters of the Commune on a stage-like set, with particular focus on the Popincourt neighborhood in the XIth arrondissement. They voice their own thoughts and feelings concerning the social and political reforms. A journalist for Versailles Television broadcasts a soothing and official view of events while a Commune television is set up to provide the perspectives of the Paris rebels.

The film, a 5 hour 45 minute event will be presented by the group Rebond pour la Commune. The cast later decided to form this association to further a discussion on key elements in the film and its production process. For this presentation of the film, the Rebond will be comprised of the casting director Patrick Watkins and three of the films' non-actor participants.

There will be intermittent breaks throughout the day with refreshments.

Paola Anzichè - Aggrovigliamenti




”Aggrovigliamenti”

Paola Anzichè
martedì 4 agosto 2009, ore 21.30

L’appuntamento fa parte della rassegna METEORITE IN GIARDINO
A cura di Maria Centonze

Aggrovigliamenti è il quarto e ultimo appuntamento di Meteorite in Giardino, una rassegna di arte visiva a cura di Maria Centonze. Il titolo dell’iniziativa prende spunto da un’opera di Mario Merz del 1976.
Lo spazio esterno della Fondazione, in particolare la “vasca”, che conteneva i sylos della ex centrale termica, ospiterà le installazioni che resteranno visibili fino al successivo evento, seguendo il consueto orario della Fondazione, dalle 11 alle 19.

Una grande rete costituita da elastici intrecciati viene sorretta da un gruppo di persone. Durante la performance lo spettatore può interagire con il reticolato, passando al di sotto di esso e muovendosi liberamente nello spazio.

Con il passaggio delle persone al suo interno, la maglia elastica trasforma continuamente la sua geometria, adattandosi ai movimenti dei partecipanti e originando un vero e proprio disegno, una sorta di geografia reticolare in movimento.

L'installazione è un omaggio a “Rete elastico”(1968) una proposizione dell’artista brasiliana Lygia Clark, azione e corpo collettivo in cui interagivano i due elementi fondamentali: la rete e le persone.

Paola Anzichè, nata a Milano nel 1975, si è diplomata alla Accademia di Belle arti di Brera e alla Staedelschule di Francoforte. Principali mostre personali: 2009: Tapis-à-porter, a cura di Francesca Pasini, Careof, Milano. 2007: The functional fake objects, Placentia Arte, Piacenza; Functional fake, Agentur/outLINE, Amsterdam; Chinoserie, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Belgrado. 2003: Video presentation, Museum Abteiberg, Moenchengladbach. Principali mostre collettive. 2009: Sans les murs Le complex de Rittberg, Glassbox, Cité Internationale Universitaire, Parigi. 2008: Fondazione Spinola Banna Poirino, Torino; Proposte22, curata da a.titolo, Torino; It Takes Something to Make Something, Portikus, Francoforte/Meno. 2006: Labyrin, Botkyrka Konsthall, Stoccolma; Chinoiserie, Medien-kunstverein HMKV, Dortmund. 2004: The Galileo Studio, Kunsthaus Kloster Gravenhorst, Steinfurt. Abschluss-Ausstellung, Städelmuseum, Francoforte/Meno. 2003: Schau Raum, Stadthausgalerie, Münster. Gasthof, Städelschule, Frankfurt/Main.

L’ installazione è realizzata in collaborazione con Artegiovane e Barbero Pietro Cancelleria

Just To Tell You Once Again, Who´s Bad...

The Hazzard Of Fuzz

Haben Sie sich schon einmal gefragt: "Was ist eigentlich Zaubern?" Besteht das Zaubern aus "Tricks" wie: Eine Muenze verschwindet, oder ein Glas Orangensaft erscheint? - Was ist ueberhaupt ein "Trick"? Was zeigt ein Zauberer, was nicht auch der Film, der Computer, die Technik kann? Ist eine Mikrowelle nicht auch ein fantastisches Zaubergeraet? Sie geben einen Eiswuerfel hinein, und nach wenigen Sekunden "Sim Sala Bim" bringen Sie kochendes Wasser hervor. Bravo. Zaubern ist viel mehr, als nur "einen Trick zeigen". Es ist ein Spiel mit der Fantasie der Zuschauer. Nur in deren Koepfen koennen sich die Illusionen, die Irritationen abspielen, die der Zauberer auf der Buehne ausloest. Have you ever asked yourself: "What is magic actually?" Is magic made up of "tricks" like: a disappearing coin or the appearance of a glass of orange juice? – and what is even a "trick?" What can a magician show that a film, a computer or technology can not? Isn't a microwave also a fantastic magical device? Place an ice cube inside and in just a few seconds "Abracadabra" you have boiling water. Bravo. Magic is much more than "just doing a trick." It is a game involving the fantasy of the audience. Only in their heads can the illusions, which invoke confusion, be sparked by the magician on the stage.

WANNABE

WANNABE. Philip Götze & Janus Hochgesand

Vernissage: 06. Juli 2009 19 Uhr
Ausstellungsdauer: 07. Juli 2009 bis 09. August 2009

Wannabe: der Möchtegern.
Wannabe: ein Sehnsuchtsmodell.
Wannabe: Pseudorealität.
Wannabe ist ein Ausstellungsprojekt der Bildhauer Philip Götze und Janus Hochgesand im Atrium der Philosophisch-Theologischen Hochschule Sankt Georgen. Zwei raumgreifende Skulpturen thematisieren Sehnsucht und Suche nach Utopien im Spannungsfeld von Wunsch und Wirklichkeit.
In einer Zeit der vielbeschworenen, doch seltsam irrealen Krise werden Bruchstellen im globalen gesellschaftlichen Gefüge sichtbar, die vor dem Individuum nicht haltmachen. Philip Götze und Janus Hochgesand bringen in ihren Skulpturen eine trügerische Idylle zum Ausdruck: Wenn die Differenz von Realität und Virtualität kaum gesteigert werden kann, wächst gleichzeitig eine Sehnsucht nach Echtheit, Heimat, nach einer besseren Welt.
