HOME #6 – SUN MAY 9TH 2010 – JACKI TERRASSE + OPEN BBQ

ALEX BARCK – JAZZANOVA
& DIRK RUMPFF – OFFTRACK
PLAY A WILD COMBINATION

special guests:
DIRK LEYERS live – GABOM / KLANG
RICCIO – SUPER VALUE – ITALY

We are very pleased to announce that after the sudden
closing of WMF we have found a new HOME for the summer:
Jacki Terasse. Located on the riverside next to Maria, we
are looking forward to chill, grill and thrill you into the night.

For the premiere, your hosts Julie, Alex and Dirk invited two
illustrious guests to deliver the cream for the musical pie:

First, we welcome homie DIRK LEYERS, who will play a
special live set of his past, present and future endeavors.
The musical journey has led him to remixes and collaborations
with Matias Aguayo, Whirlpool Productions, Alter Ego and
Angie Reed just to name a few.

Credit to the edit is due when it comes to Riccio of SUPER
VALUE fame. The italian disco and boogie maestro is not
riding the wave of the current „cut up and go“ extravaganza
but may have caused it. Based on the idea that “value
embodies consciousness before price”, he wishes to
celebrate the many producers and musicians that became
prophets of a timeless sound.

We expect some friends, late and early birds,
a small BBQ to share, the sun & you.

JACKI TERRASSE – AN DER SCHILLINGBRÜCKE – BERLIN

Jacki opens at 15:00
Program starts at 18:00

POINTS OF VIEW aims to show contemporary practices that question and redefine the conventional distribution of functions and roles within the editorial process.
In its inaugural year, POINTS OF VIEW intends to highlight the school’s role in the exploration of new editorial modalities as well as in the blurring of the boundaries between disciplines.
In the context of the development of digital forms of publishing, these new critical positions — particularly through the economic models they adopt — reflect points of view that invite a new and forward‑looking approach to printed forms of contemporary publishing.

Phantom City – A photo novel, Kim Bouvy

In this photographic novel, Dutch artist Kim Bouvy explores the way urban surroundings are perceived and valued – and how that is reflected in the visual culture, including art and architecture. Bouvy focuses on the city of Rotterdam through 160 images culled from newspaper clippings, promotional materials, postcards, and other images, which she mixes with photographs she took around Rotterdam between 2003 and 2009. Through these images and texts, Bouvy weaves a tale about a phantom city, a place that everybody recognizes but no one knows, where the present, future and past collide and merge into an unexpected narrative. Another thought-provoking work from this poet of the “condition urbaine.”

Anfang gut, alles gut. @ Motto Berlin. 29.4.2010

Anfang gut, alles gut. Beginning good. All good.
Presentation of the first Fanzine with a short introduction, sound recordings.

Actualization of „Pobeda nad solncem“ (Victory over the Sun) (1913) with contributions by Thomas Baldischwyler, Mareike Bernien & Kerstin Schroedinger, Nine Budde, Ruth May, Avigail Moss, Peter Wächtler, Susanne M. Winterling

The futurist opera “Victory over the Sun”, which was written and staged in 1913 in Petersburg wanted to “establish a collective work on the basis of word, painting and music”. Those are the words of the opera’s authors, the painter Kasimir Malewitsch, the musician Michail Matjuschin and the poets Alexeij Krutschenych and Welimir Chlebnikov, who wanted to create an ‚antiharmonious’ work – against the spirit of their times.
In Beginning good. All good, an actualization of „Pobeda nad solncem“ (Victory over the Sun), will translate this programmatic on the basis of the historical text and documentation of its stagings and reception into the present. The project brings together about 40 artists, musicians, theoreticians and people from other disciplines in order realize the exhibition project in May 2011 – one year after the publishing of this issue. With the project we would like to dismantle the opera’s self-enclose form into those artistic fragments and traces, which seem to correspond with the present, to than reconstruct them as actualized reformulations. To make the pre-production visible, we will produce a series of three subsequent fanzines for may 2010, october 2010 and january 2011.

The project is initiated by Nina Köller and Kerstin Stakemeier.
