U 10 - from here to the imaginary and back again



On Thursday, 15th October 2009 in Schlossstrasse Underground Station (U9), Berlin will happen the OPENING of the NGBK public art project on the BVG Berlin Underground network.


U 10 presents the Berlin Underground network as a parallel underground world ...

Routine yet full of secrets, the Underground acts as a mirror of Berlin's history and as a seismograph of the city's current feel.

I will be joining this project in spring 2010 with an Underground-Noise-Choir, an open group practising artistic research on soundscapes in the BVG-net in Berlin - in public rehearsals.

Entities of research might be mostly traffic sounds, announces, steps, squezzing of brakes, buzzing of ticket machines ... How to react? Singing together? Imitating? Improvising? Composing?

Please contact me, if you are interested in this project!!! It doesn't have to be an a-capella-choir - with someone wants to bring an instruments - thats fine as well!


U10 - from here to the imaginary and back again is an NGBK Berlin project, initiated and run by Sofia Bempeza, Ania Corcilius, Jacopo Gallico, Eva Hertzsch and Adam Page. U10 is funded by the Senatskanzlei - Kulturelle Angelegenheiten / Kunst im Stadtraum and supported by BVG and the Berliner Fenster.

OUR HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE



Symposium about Self-organisation in international comparison

During 24 - 26th of september 09, people from various scientific, artistic and cultural fields will discuss and exchange about the phenomenon: Self-organisation - in Dresden


Together with a bunch of Dresden artists/architects we came up with the idea to organize a symposium about selforganization within contemporary artists and art-spaces. Sharing several commons – as our residence Dresden, our activities in self-organized art-spaces and their interest in an interdisciplinary exchange about the phenomenon of „self-organization“ - we, means Paul Elsner and Nilsson Samuelsson (artist run space and studio community geh8) and myself (jointly responsible for the former so-called 7th floor) developed the concept for the symposium “OUR HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE” and therefore to invite theorists as well as artists to report about their experiences in this issue and to discuss conditions, developments and improvements.

The aim is to find out more about this key word, this leitmotif circulating through various disciplines and vital spaces of the 21stcentury. By entering into mutual dialogue, the main question will be how
similar or different „self-organization“ can work or fail in the art scene as well as in other fields of work and research.

The symposium is for free, public and welcomes all interested guests: Our House is your house!

You will find the program at the geh8-website.

soundrawing -- drawingsound



elffriede.interdisciplinary drawing systems invite to: soundrawing -- drawingsound -or what could be a drawing project under pressure welcome! research! collaborate!


what happens if sound and drawing communicate? (do sound and drawing communicate? or is it just a projection?) and why do artists always have to research everything, like walking through the woods searching for mushrooms, or reflecting upon if it is better rather to listen to a drawing then seeing it...

an interdisciplinary intervention and crossover by elffriede (vienna / austria), one-month-resident of moks featuring: evelyn müürsepp + john grzinich + siim tiirik (mooste / estonia / moks), grit ruhland + konrad behr (dresden / germany) and patrick mcginley (us / eu)

welcome to a research project of the visual and the accoustic.

besides individual works by elffriede, evelyn müürsepp and john grzinich the exhibition presents collaborative projects that circulate around drawing and sound, such as the ongoing interdisciplinary book-cd-film project /elffriede.soundrawing/ with 43 sound-artists, film and sound projects in riga, a recent workshop in moks, and some other surprises...

Nan°art in Bergamo



The 'slipper for slipper animalcules' has gone on travel - to the country of the masters of shoes, Italy.


The curator Stefano Raimondi has organized an exhibition in the museum "BergamoScienza", which is announced as the first art exhibition showing this invisible art - nano-art. Besides work of Alessandro Scali and Robin Goode my micro sculpture also will be able to be seen there from 1st of October until 21th October 2007.

Being organized



Interviewproject with Michael Stellmacher about the situation of some offspaces in Budapest - for "On Call" (a project of bipolar Bundeskulturstiftung)


We spoke with Hints (Muvészeti Egyesület), KEK (Kortárs Építészeti Közponz), Lumen (Fotómuveszeti Alapítványmit), Shirai and Tüzrakter. In july there it will result a audio artwork broadcasted at 'coloradio' - Dresden free radio station and also at free radio station Budapest - 'tilos' about the upcoming cognitions to this theme. Probably it will be in English.

Parallel to this there will be a small series of events from 6th - 8th of Juli in "7. Stock" Dresden. Two Organziers from the Netlabel 12rec.net will speak about "free music" and alternative distribution channels. After this we' ll get some practical examples. F.i. from the Vienna Folk-Project Tupolev ... . For more informations please visit  www.stock7.de some days before.

For making the whole concept a real base, there will be a speach about "basic income without any conditions". Also in the beginning of july in 7. Stock.





Mikrosculpture 'Pantoffel für Pantoffeltierchen'



20. April - 19 Uhr Opening + Performance at Max Planck Institute for Cellbiology and Genetics
Pfotenhauerstr. 108, 01307 Dresden

Vimeo-Video


With this exhibition (actually, I prefer the word "presentation"), I finish my Residency at Max-Planck-Institut for Cellbiology and Genetics in Dresden. Together with my researchgroup, the Tolic-Lab, I have made an original sized slipper for Parameciums. In German these creatures are called 'Pantoffeltierchen' - translated word by word this means 'slipper animalcules'. These water-living ciliates are in average approx. 50-300 µm long. Regarding that size, they are giants in relation of the unicellular organisms. Their bodyshape resembles a Sole, therefore they have their German name. 'slipper for slipper animalcules' cover 150 x 60 x 60 µm. And yes it is so small, that one hardly does see it.

As it is very well known - the way is the target. The more at this work. The MPI-CBG Art Prize gave me the possibility of sharing a small piece of the research routine from scientists. Mine I have documented in a work diary. Actually, it is a mix from logbook and diary. Over this and the last year, I have regularly written about my art and life. Since this February I published the texts in a communication-installation for the employees of the institute. Actually, it became now a heavy tome. Two books lie on a table. Two chairs are right at it. Beside is a flyer board with information about activities happening around me. The books and the whole Installation will be
accessible in the MPI until the end of the exhibition.

I am, very pleased that Elffriede, Jenny Krist and Andreas will come from Vienna, Hamburg and Budapest to perform passages from my blog book on this opening. This lecture will be unique.
