Colorfield Variations DVD curated by Richard Chartier


The Colorfield Variations

The COLORFIELD VARIATIONS program, curated by renowned sound artist Richard Chartier, is a collection of audio/visual works reinterpreting the Color Field movement by an international array of critically acclaimed sound and new media artists including: Frank Bretschneider, Alan Callander, Chris Carter + Cosey Fanni Tutti (Chris & Cosey/Throbbing Gristle), Sue Costabile, Evelina Domnitch + Dmitry Gelfand, Mark Fell (SND/Blir) + Ernest Edmonds, Tina Frank + General Magic, Ryoichi Kurokawa, Stephan Mathieu, Steve Roden, and Bas Van Koolwijk. Colorfield Variation includes new works especially created for this program.

Color Field painting, an abstract style that emerged in the 1950s following Abstract Expressionism, is characterized by canvases painted primarily with stripes, washes and fields of solid color. The first serious and critically acclaimed art movement to originate in the nation's capital, Washington Color School was central to the larger Color Field movement. As a reaction to the emotional energy and gestural surface of Abstract Expressionists, the Color Field artists and members of The Washington Color School turned away from the individual mark in favor of color itself becoming the content of the work. Breaking painting down to the fundamental formal elements, the Color Field artists created pure simplified, large-format, color-dominated fields on a large monumental scale.

During the early sixties, Color Field painting was the term used to describe younger artists whose work were related to second generation abstract expressionism yet clearly pointed toward a new direction in American painting. Artists such as Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Helen Frankenthaler, Leon Berkowitz, Frank Stella and others eliminated recognizable imagery from their canvas and presented abstraction as an end in itself with each painting as one unified, cohesive, monolithic image.

Think of Barnett Newman’s painting "Who's afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue?" with its almost physical effect.

This program in its original form was created for Washington Project for the Arts as part of the city wide ColorField.Remix events which took place in April-June 2007 at the WPA Experimental
Media Series at Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Subsequent Colorfield Variations screenings and events include: Issue Project Room (Brooklyn, NY), Decibel Festival (Seattle, WA, Cimatics (Brussels, Belgium), Laptopia04 (Tel Aviv, Israel), The Hammer Museum (Los Angeles, CA), and Plateaux Festival (Torun, Poland).

See this sound - Klangkunst

Klangkunst umfasst grenzüberschreitende Kunstpraktiken, in denen der akustischen Ebene eine wahrnehmungs- bzw. strukturleitende Bedeutung zukommt. Optische Ebene und räumliche Dimension stellen die wichtigsten Referenzen zum Ton dar. Ausschlaggebend für die Abgrenzung der Klangkunst gegenüber der Musik ist in erster Linie das Aufbrechen der Linearität und zeitlichen Begrenzung.

In der zwangsläufigen Verbindung auditiver, visueller und motorisch-taktiler Wahrnehmung thematisiert Klangkunst das Zusammenspiel der Sinne und basiert daher stärker auf allgemeinen Wahrnehmungsaspekten als auf der Weiterentwicklung kunstspezifischer Prinzipien. Dadurch verliert das werkhafte Objekt gegenüber der subjektiven, auf die Wahrnehmung konzentrierten Erfahrung an Bedeutung.

Direkte Vorläufer entstanden seit 1900; ab 1950 prägte sich die Klangskulptur aus. In den 1960er Jahren entstand das heute wichtigere Konzept der Klanginstallation. In den 1980er und 1990er Jahren fand Klangkunst durch spezialisierte Einzel- und Sammelausstellungen zunehmende Verbreitung und ging in die wichtigen Festivals zeitgenössischer Musik ein.

Soundmuseum.fm presents: Lukas Simonis

Soundmuseum.fm presents:

A Happy Life at the Expense of Others by Lukas Simonis


Explanation
Sometimes it's better to let the dog or cat do the choosing bits. Stay with your mouth full of teeth at the moment that the interspaces are being distributed. You can always fall back on your pride. Such behaviour wakes trust in irregular violations. Who are you to think you can permit yourself such an attitude?! There are other men as well you know, in this world I mean... And such Ostrichery are not serving them! Show us what you have in dah house homeboy!, ...from bowl to bowl. Let the others judge about your total entity, inner self, outer limits - from coast to coast that is... And for the last time; hold that face in the fold! You dressheadbone!

Instruction
OUTGROUND is the place of fragments. There's no silence in OUTGROUND and you can add to the no-silence by clicking on a fragment. Clicking again makes it stop. Click as many as you want and construct your own piece. This might give you the impression of self-activation.

INGROUND is crystallized heaven. There are only 4 pieces. An author who has taken parts of dead people's brains, form the basis of these pieces. Maybe this is superfluous to point this out.

Biography
Lukas Simonis is musician, performer, radiomaker and the (he?) works. In 2008 he organised the 'Outism' festival in WORM, Rotterdam. 'Outism' is a self-invented name for something that goes from 'Outsiders' to 'Autism' to 'Ism' & anywhere else.

Soundtrackcity Amsterdam

Soundtrackcity Amsterdam

nodigt je uit om de straat op te gaan en de stad opnieuw te ontdekken via acht geluids-wandelingen gemaakt door kunstenaars. De wandelingen zijn in verschillende wijken van de stad en vertellen elk een ander verhaal over heden, verleden en toekomst van het gebied, gebaseerd op verhalen en ervaringen van bewoners. Laat je meevoeren door een unieke mix van stemmen, geluiden en muziek.

Hoe werkt het?

Met een geluidsspeler, koptelefoon en plattegrond wandel je een aangegeven route. Onderweg luister je naar een op de route toegesneden geluidsmix van stadsverhalen, muziek, de stem van een gids, archiefmateriaal en een speciaal gecomponeerde ‘soundscape’.

De wandelingen zijn gratis
en duren circa 60 minuten.

Wanneer kun je wandelen?
Je kunt wandelen wanneer het jou uitkomt. Tussen zonsopkomst en zonsondergang wordt aangeraden. De wandelingen zijn vanaf september 2009 zeker twee jaar beschikbaar.

Hoe kom je er aan?
Als je zelf een mp3-speler hebt kun je de wandelingen van tevoren via deze website downloaden.

Je kunt het jezelf nog gemakkelijker maken met een abonnement op onze podcasts.

Als je geen mp3-speler hebt kun je ook bij het startpunt in de buurt een voorgeladen audiospeler lenen. Je bent dan wel gebonden aan de openingstijden van het startpunt en moet een legitimatie plus 50 euro borg meenemen. Kijk bij de wandelingen hoe dit precies in zijn werk gaat.
Let op: Het aantal spelers is beperkt, dus het kan voorkomen dat ze allemaal al in gebruik zijn.

De geluidswandeling lopen met je eigen speler is verreweg de beste optie!

////////////////////////////////////////////

In a small town a long, long time ago, Death
promised a young woman to give back to her the
life of her lover, if only she could save the
lives of three young men or even only one of
them. The young woman is then transposed to three
different worlds. Three times the young woman
fails in her attempts, and finally submits to
death herself in order to be reunited with her
lover.

Visual artist and musician Bruno Ferro Xavier da
Silva is one who is always busy searching for
new possibilities to give shape to thought,
inspiration, wonder and excitement. This has led
him to be involved with a myriad of projects
spread out over a multitude of artistic fields.

He is a member of the Rotterdam based art
collective ANTISTROT with solo exhibitions and
performances held in the Netherlands and abroad.
As a musician he is member of cutting-edge bands
like Stöma, Dr Schnitt & BxR, the Danish music
and dance group Wego and has played with
musicians like Jaap Blonk, Rene van Barneveld,
Bong Ra, Coolhaven, eNi-LesS & Tok Tek.

MCN ELEKTRO-ACOUSTIC

* MCN September 17th : Music for Games en Experience
* MCN October 24th : Algoritmic Music
* MCN December 8th : This is how Sound Design works


MCN-Music for Games & Experience

Making music for games is more than writing music. One has to develop the proces where the gamer generates music as well. In other words: “ Applied composition for non-lineair systems”. In this afternoon you’ll learn how this is done.

Lecturer: Kees Went, componist / sound designer and teacher @ the HKU
Thursday 17 September 2009, 15.00 - 17.00 @ MCN


MCN- Algoritmic Music

Some componists do not compose notes or sound, but computerprogrammes which generates music ‘automaticly’. How to document this way of musicpratice and how to promote?

Lecturer: different composers and Hannah Bosma (MCN)
Saturday 24 October 2009, 14.00 - 17.00 @ MCN


MCN-This is how Sound Design works

How does your car sounds? And your computer? Sound design is almost
music, an mature industry and a hyper interesting. During this afternoon, experts will share their knowledge about this subject.

Lecturer: dr. Elif Ozcan Vieira (TU Delft) e.o.
Tuesday 8 December, 15.00 - 17.00 @ MCN

Edwin van der Heide wins Art+Technology Award 2009


The winner of the 2009 Witteveen+Bos Art+Technology Award is sound artist/composer Edwin van der Heide. An independent jury nominated him for the strength of his unique position within the new media and the visual arts. His innovative constructions incisively interconnect contemporary music, visual arts and architecture.

Van der Heide born (1970) studied music technology at the Utrecht School of the Arts (1988). One year later he switched to studying sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague where he graduated in 1992. Since then he has produced a closely knit oeuvre. Van der Heide makes installations centring on sound-time-space parameters, composing with sound and with spatial experiences.

Award presentation on 12 November 2009
The Art+Technology Award will be presented at the Bergkerk church in Deventer, the Netherlands, on 12 November 2009 (16:30 hrs). The presentation will be followed by the opening of an exhibition. Edwin van der Heide is developing a new work that is especially made for this location. This installation can be seen and above all experienced at the Bergkerk until 5 December 2009.

The two-day symposium Blind Capture is a prologue to the CTM.10 festival Overlap - Sound and Other Media (29.1 - 6.2.2010). Three elected themes are central to what connects these events: the balance between visual art and contemporary experimental music, from images and sound to a look at the structure of the music scene in contemporary Berlin. Blind Capture presents as a process the exploration of happenings that are not immediately visible or graspable, and their capture in words. Participants from diverse disciplines present the current state of their research from different perspectives. The results will be presented together as short essays in the CTM.10 catalogue.

Participants:
David Stubbs (UK), Jesper N. Jorgensen (DK), Sandra Naumann (AT), Lillevan (DE), Geoff Stahl (CA/NZ), Brandon LaBelle (US), Boris Debackere (BE), Gudrun Gut (DE), Ronald Lippok (DE)

Next to the lectures and presentations, two installtions will be on display:
'25.Sec-Structures Preview' by Angelika Middendorf & Andreas Schimanski (DE)

Byron Westbrook (b. 1977) is an artist working with the dynamic quality of physical space using multi-channel sound and images. His audio/video performances under the name CORRIDORS involve the distribution of processed instrumental and environmental recordings through a multi-channel environment with a focus on energy distilled from sound and light. He has shared performance bills with Tony Conrad, Sawako, Stefan Tcherepnin, Alessandro Bosetti, Mountains, Jason Kahn, James Blackshaw, Anette Krebs, among many others. He has presented at venues such as Tonic, Roulette, ParisLondonWestNile, Les Voûtes (FR), Issue Project Room, Institute of Intermedia (CZ), Experimental Intermedia, Exit Art Gallery.Westbrook has also collaborated with Paris-based composer and former Kitchen curator Rhys Chatham in the drone metal group Essentialist (Table of the Elements), as well as performed in the ensembles of Phill Niblock, Rhys Chatham, Glenn Branca, Duane Pitre and Jonathan Kane. In 2007, he was the recipient of the Jerome Foundation Emerging Artists Commission through Roulette Intermedium. In 2008 he was an artist in residence at HotelPupik at Schoss Schrattenberg. He is also currently the technical coordinator at Experimental Intermedia Foundation, NYC. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"To call Byron Westbrook a composer of breathtakingly beautiful ambient pieces and drone works is reasonably accurate but painfully reductive;Westbrook, whose work under the name Corridors has involved acoustic instruments, field recordings, spatialized playback and lighting, is the kind of artist for whom the old, mostly disused term intermedia was coined." -TimeOut New York

PAOLO INVERNI

"PATHS," OPENING ON: June 5th, 2009. 6pm
Galerie Mario Mazzoli
Zimmerstr. 13, Berlin

CURATED BY
Daniela Cascella

In Paths Inverni plays back some music he loves (by Steve Roden, William Basinski, Akira Rabelais, Christina Kubisch, Painting Petals On Planet Ghost, Nuno Canavarro) in places that have marked his life, and then records the "dialogue" between the music itself and the environment’s sounds. As critic Daniela Cascella explains, "These soundscapes aim at reawakening the delight one feels in finding an old photograph and creating a story, always different, around it. An image does not hold just one story, a musical piece not just one sound, a landscape not just a single distinct trace. For each of them and their way of combining themselves, we conjure up a feeling, an emotional tone, a Stimmung, to steal a term from the German language. Changeable and transitory, and yet we sense the atmosphere, the aura."

The work consists of an artist’s book, three audio/visual installations, and six photographs on lambda print.

Born in Savigliano, Piemonte, Italy in 1977, Paolo holds a BA in Communication Sciences qand a MA in Writing and Story-Editing for Audiovisual Products from the University of Torino. He lives and works in Torino. Inverni’s works have been exhibited at e/static, Torino, ('luci', curated by Carlo Fossati, 2005); Künstlerhaus Dortmund ('inner spaces', curated by Maija Julius e Reinhild Kuhn, 2006); blank, Torino ('découpage (f l)', curated by Carlo Fossati for e/static, 2006); 'Sounds Electric '07', Dundalk ('point . light . sound .', curated by Anthony Kelly for EAR, 2007). His works have been published on 'contemporary' magazine, annual 2008, Art 21 Limited, 2008 (text by Daniela Cascella); 'stretching a point', edited by Willi Otremba, DruckVerlag Kettler, 2008 (text by Maija Julius).

BRANDON LABELLE



Proposal to the Mayor II (Culture and Communication)
April 17 to June 6, 2009
Ybakatu Gallery
Rua Itupava 414
Curitiba, Brazil
http://www.ybakatu.com.br/

Extending past work exhibited at Ybakatu - Proposal to the Mayor I was presented in 2003 - LaBelle presents two new projects that explore aspects of sound, architecture and the urban life of Curitiba. Working with a group of participants, the artist developed a work based on interpreting sound through physical models: sending recordings of his apartment in Berlin to architects, designers, and artists in Curitiba, he requested the participants to listen to the sounds and make a physical model of his apartment in response. The models become a means for bringing the act of listening forward into the spatial imagination. The models are further presented as proposals for future buildings in Curitiba. As a second work, the artist presents a portable object for the presentation of an exhibition of frequency: experimental audio works by different artists and composers from 1950 to the present. Basing this work on the artist Bruno Lechowski, a Polish artist who in the 1920s presented his paintings in a portable tent structure in Curitiba, the work acts as a mobile museum able to locate audio within public space. The mobile museum is proposed as a permanent addition to the network of museums in the city of Curitiba.
