post post post compost | Cinetol | Thursday 23rd of May
What to do (and with whom) in the age of the anthropocene, capitalocene, cthulhucene? Donna Haraway has described us as compost, as an ever evolving human and non-human mesh of beings. She calls for a “staying with the trouble” that requires a making kin through unexpected collaborations and combinations, in hot compost piles. If the human does not end at the skin, what are we capable of becoming? To what do the porous boundaries give way?
Simulacrum, magazine for arts and culture, presents: post post post compost, an evening filled with video art, performance, music and text on the occasion of its forthcoming issue: Posthuman. Emerging out of the publication, this evening provides space for a more creative and artistic approach to topics touching on the figure of the posthuman.

At the memorial for Rosa Luxemburg on 13 June 1919, the political radical, art historian, critic, and writer Carl Einstein gave an oration. There is no record of what Einstein said, how he said it, or what it addressed. This collection assembles a broad range of texts from artists, film-makers, writers, poets, critics, philosophers, and art historians. Each contribution is a speculation on what Einstein might have delivered, each as likely and as unlikely to be Einstein’s as any other. Through the multiple substitutions of Carl Einstein—a practice that Einstein pursued throughout his life—themes of masquerade, mistaken identities, of persons substituted after the event, of orations, speeches, and texts rewritten, speculated upon and redelivered, celebrating, mapping, and fictionalising a past life, are explored.
‘Not that Einstein, no, not Luxemburg, but rather those poor souls who lost the historical game, here celebrated in the jaws of defeat. Her words here, his words there, verbatim sometimes and mangled, like her body mangled, or lost, then found in fantasy sentences projected into the place of the missing graveside lines. In this volume, losses are made palpable through a plenitude of oratory vibrations, one for each bruise on her body.’

‘A beautiful volume of intelligent counter-history from the future past: Carl Einstein’s lost graveside oration for Rosa Luxemburg speaks back, producing a hundred-year delayed echo through the voices of writers, theorists, and artists from our present.’

Printing Plant Art Book Fair - Amsterdam, 'Until the last breath' Book Launch and Presentation, Looiersgracht 60, Amsterdam, 23-25.11.18
Printing Plant - Art Book Fair is an intimate and bespoke 3-day art-book fair organised by Looiersgracht 60. Artistic print culture has a rich narrative in Amsterdam’s history and Printing Plant offers a new and much-needed platform for the progressive publications that are being produced. A remarkable selection of artist editions, multiples, catalogues, books, monographs, periodicals and zines that are generally unavailable in bookstores will be presented.
Publishing
has assumed an increasingly central position within artistic
practices. Yet it has become more difficult to produce,
distribute and present special art books in recent years - often due
to a lack of funding. Many of the beautiful titles that have been
published are only on view in the shops of a few motivated and
specialist booksellers, museum bookshops and galleries. Printing
Plant will present a remarkable selection of artist editions,
multiples, art catalogues, books, monographs, periodicals and zines
that are generally unavailable in bookstores. Filling 750 square
meters of exhibition space, the fair will invite visitors to learn
more about the world of independent art book publishing from the
artists and makers who will be showcasing their works throughout the
weekend.

Printing Plant is part of the official programme of Amsterdam Art Weekend 2018. The opening will take

Only the curve remains, One Gee in Fog, Genève, Switzerland, 22.3.18 - 19.4.18
"Only the curve remains", a poetic evening with Carla Demierre, Alain Freudiger, Gilles Furtwängler and Wanda Obertova; within an installation by Ohad Ben Shimon and Manuela Cossalter & with a contribution by mathematician Anders Karlsson.
On the occasion of the Printemps de la Poésie 2018, one gee in fog is pleased to host "only the curve remains", an evening dedicated to poetic language in the digital era, taking place within an installation conceived by artists Ohad Ben Shimon and Manuela Cossalter.
Each of the four invited poets will perform her/his own poetic production, sprouting from and revolving around specific aspects of the digital realm: from networks to language, from the notions of presence and absence to the concepts of modelisation, of capture, etc.
Carla Demierre, Alain Freudiger, Gilles Furtwängler and Wanda Obertova come from three fields nourishing contemporary poetry: literature, visual/performative arts, and music. This diversity of their approaches finds its common denominator in an experimental way of working with voice, tone, breath and spoken word.
After the poetic evening "only the curve remains", the installation concieved by Ohad Ben Shimon and Manuela Cossalter will remain at one gee in fog until April 19, turning the exhibition space into a reading room, where a selection of texts and poems by Demierre, Freudiger, Furtwängler and Obertova, with the textual contribution by Anders Karlsson, will be available for consultation.
Opening: 22.3.18 18:00

From concrete to liquid to spoken worlds to the word, Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, Genève, 31.5.17 - 27.8.17
The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève is pleased to present a major project dedicated to contemporary poetry and its various modes of dialogue within the visual culture of our era. The goal of this complex exhibition program is to highlight how in recent years, contemporary art has begun to show a revived and growing interest in the world of poetry and the written and spoken word. Poetry readings and recitals in museums, performances centered on the importance of the text and its recitation, videos where poetic language takes on a role that rivals the visual component: the art of our time appears to be deeply and intimately rooted in words. Just when its fate seemed sealed for good in this chaotic and (seemingly) aphonic civilization of images, the word has returned to the fore among young artists and the viewing public.

FloppyPoppyWidy MATTER is a conceptual, pluridisciplinary and evolving publishing project. Outside of predefined fields, a singular reflection is created in the junctions. FloppyPoppyWidy MATTER attempts to follow these lines of thought. Through an interrogation of imminence and the multitude, combination or chance, the project provokes encounters, allowing for new conceptual links. The connections of ideas are not controlled, different each time, subjected to the singular imagination of the reader. A sort of revisited Zettelkasten that places the reader inside the writing process.
It’s also the creation of a panorama. Mixing authors, artists, philosophers, researchers and scientists – in a given format – to take stock of thought here and now. Attempting to show a reality, to make a collection of ideas that reveal the world. Over time, the contributions grow and the project grows. No subject, style or genre is imposed; the choice of these questions by the author is also revealing of our interests.

OPEN AVOND(S) - A proposition from the archive, de Appel arts centre, Amsterdam, 15.6.16, 20:00-22:30
The apple and the worms, Hezy Leskly, Artzien Vol.2 No.6/7 April/May 1980
A proposition from the archive of de Appel arts centre
OPEN AVOND(S) is the kick-off of a series of events, which aims to revive a concept, presented at de Appel arts centre between March 1979 and October 1980. Every first Wednesday of the month, de Appel offered artists the opportunity to show their work between 8 and 10 pm. Artists had to register their contribution at least one day in advance, so that the programme could be compiled.
Such a stage connected established practices with more experimental ones. Would this relatively improvised and fast 'route' still be viable nowadays?
De Appel has been considered one of the first supporters and promoters of performance art in Europe. Looking back to this period seems a fundamental step in a process of a possible re-identification.
Between June 6 and 11, an open call was directed to any artist interested in presenting her or his work at de Appel, to be presented at the evening of June 15.
The framework of the open call was determined by a selection of documents from the archives of de Appel, chosen for the dialogue they create with present practices. The same material inspired questions, such as 'what constitutes an identity?' and 'how to play role dynamics?'. These were used as guidelines for the open call.
Works from the archive by artists Vito Acconci, Hezy Leskly and Edmondo Za will be introduced in collaboration with sound artist Gunnar Gunnsteinsson during a rambling evening connecting past with present through humour and tragedy. Archival resources will intermingle with the performances and contributions by artists Ivan Cheng, Andrius Mulokas, Ohad Ben Shimon, Urok Shirhan, Ieke Trinks. The selection reflects a variety of formats and contents, which will create a dialogue among them.
Special thanks to Nell Donkers, Abel Kroon, Titus Nouwens and the staff of de Appel arts centre.
Entrance: 3 euro (no museumkaart needed)
