doors open: 8 pm, start: 8.30 pm
admission: 15,=

On Thursday 13 and Friday 14 September 2001 the third edition will be presented of dot.nu sound & image, a joint initiative by Paradiso (Amsterdam) and V2_ (Rotterdam).

As usual the programme consists of a unique collaborative effort by a musician ('sound director') and a visual director, exploring the relationship between images and sounds. The collaboration will result in a completely original co-developed image-and-sound performance that is prepared at V2_ in Rotterdam during the week before the presentation. For the next edition of dot.nu sound & image visual artist RenÈ Beekman and musician/electronic music expert Xavier van Wersch have been invited to join forces.

In addition to this live performance two videos will be shown in which the relationship with music/sound is the main theme. 'Silent Movie for a Listening Eye' is a new video by English graphic designer Jon Wozencroft. 'Contemporary Broadcasts' is a video compilation of works that relate to British musician Robin Rimbaud, aka Scanner.

RenÈ Beekman (NL): Beekman (1968) works as visual director in video and is also the author of a number of articles that explore the relationship between image and sound in the digital age. Some of his sound pieces have been released on CD. Having finished his education at the AKI Art Academy in Enschede, Beekman then went to IRCAM in Paris, among other places. IRCAM has a reputation as a leading institute in the field of innovative technology that facilitates a steadily increasing integration of image and sound. Here, Beekman was introduced to software like Max/MSP and nato that allows a direct interaction between image and sound. Images directly trigger sounds, and vice versa. As a visual director Beekman's choice of imagery is guided by more or less 'musical' principles. "I choose my images like a composer chooses instruments for their timbre, harmonics and spectrum". (source: lecture 'Composing Images' by Beekman, published in Lier en Boog, volume 15, Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory). http://www.xs4all.nl/~rbeekman

Xavier van Wersch (NL): Xavier van Wersch (1976) last year obtained a degree in Sonology at the Koninklijk Conservatorium (Royal Academy of Music) in The Hague after having first studied philosophy and visual arts. In addition to being a performer, instrument builder and maker of installations and tape pieces, Van Wersch has a fascination for unstable systems that seem to have an uncontrollable life of their own. Among other things, Van Wersch developed the 'scream box' (a name referring to STEIM's legendary 'kraakdoos' (crackle box)) in an attempt to build a lively instrument that offers a more direct and more physical control over sound material than do traditional synthesizers. He also developed the ever expanding '220 volt network', an installation in which the audience, by walking on a surface, triggers an electric brain thereby activating all sorts of noisily operating devices. Under the name 'SzohrgŒr' Van Wersch (together with Dave Krooshof) is also involved in creating electronic dance music. His tape composition 'Odysseia' has been recently released as a CD by BV Haast Publishers. http://www.xs4all.nl/~xaf

Jon Wozencroft (UK): London based graphic designer Jon Wozencroft is one of the co-founders (together with historian Mike Harding) of the music publishing company Touch that this year celebrates its twentieth anniversary. From its first publications in 1981 Touch has both stimulated the imagination and challenged the eardrums of listeners with editions that go beyond traditional conventions of what is supposed to be music. Touch's extraordinary packaging has always been the work of Wozencroft who, besides working as a teacher, is associated with the experimental typographical publication FUSE. At the recent Sonar Festival in Barcelona Wozencroft designed the exhibition 'Invisible if only'. Dot.nu will be presenting a new video work by Wozencroft, entitled 'Silent Movie for a Listening Eye'.

Scanner (UK): 'Temporary Broadcasts' is the title of a video compilation of various works relating to the British musician Scanner, the alias of Robin Rimbaud. These videos were produced in collaboration with the multimedia collective Dfuse and director Katarina Matiasek. The synthesis between sound and the images associated with it play an important role in this compilation. Many of the images were shot while traveling or at least originate from travels, in the same way as Rimbaud himself has been making 'audio snapshots' for years now.

Sound Performers: Twine

The Milk Factory just compared Twine to both Autechre and Mille Plateaux, saying their music is "inspired by the work of John Cage, Stauckhausen and the electro-acoustic movement," and that "Twine's evolutive rhythmic patterns and multifaceted use of the same sound sources create a unique collection of avant-gardist musical forms, firmly set into its own cultural landscape, but open to the outside world." They have new and forthcoming releases out on Komplott (Sweden), Hefty Records (Chicago) and Bip Hop (France).

Moving Image Projections: FILMTEXT - source material

source material from Mark Amerika's new FILMTEXT project, a version of which is scheduled for exhibition at his retrospective at the ICA in London later this Fall.

BROOKLYN! provides the first systematic look at the art emerging from this new art world center

On view from September 8, 2001 through November 25, 2001.

Roster of 86 Artists Promises Most Comprehensive Examination to Date of Present-Day Phenomenon.

BROOKLYN! provides the first systematic look at the art emerging from this new art world center, which was largely wrested by artists from the abandoned industrial buildings and neglected storefronts of a few working class neighborhoods.

This exhibition celebrates the moment that is Brooklyn now -- a place of vibrant synergy among artists, galleries, and neighborhoods--before this world is transformed yet again, as all `momentsí like this are,î says Michael Rush, director of the Palm Beach ICA, and a co-organizer of the exhibition with the New York-based curator and critic Dominique Nahas.

PBICA is located at 601 Lake Avenue in Lake Worth, Fla. For more information, contact:

CONCEPTS ON THE MOVE (Final Symposium)

PLACE: GOETHE INSTITUT, HERENGRACHT 470, AMSTERDAM

TIME: SEPTEMBER 28, 2001, 10 AM-6 PM.

PARTICIPANTS: Daniel Birnbaum (philosopher, dir. Staedelschuele/Portikus, Frankfurt), Thierry De Duve (philosopher/curator, Brussels), Anne-Marie Duguet (philosopher, dir. Centre Reserches d'Esthetitique et des Arts Audiovisuelles, Sorbonne, Paris), Bartomeu Mari (philosopher, dir. Witte de With, Rotterdam), Michael Newman (philosopher, professor of Philosophy of Art, St. Martin's College, London). Coordinators Project: Annette W. Balkema and Henk Slager.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS: Antwerp (HIFA), Karlsruhe (ZKM), Ljubljana (SKUC), London (Slade), Maastricht (Jan van Eyck Academy), New York (Columbia University), Oslo (Statens Akademi), Paris (ENSBA), Tokyo (IAA-Conference) and Venice (Biennale).

PROJECT: In the current theoretical reflection on the artistic process of communication, an obsolete apparatus of concepts is involved, one no longer geared towards how visual art functions today. In "What is Philosophy" Deleuze and Guattari maintain that it is philosophy's task "to create concepts for problems that necessarily change". In order to shift towards the development of such a new apparatus of concepts, the project Concepts on the Move intends to list and to discuss the topical problems and conditions of the artistic process, and to investigate issues which could lead to the beginning of another or renewed aesthetic apparatus for dealing with the theory and practice of visual art.

PUBLICATION: Concepts on the Move, L&B (Lier en Boog, Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory), issue 17. Editors: Annette W. Balkema and Henk Slager (Fall 2001).

INFORMATION (project): http://www.lierboog.dds.nl
CONTACT: lierboog@dds.nl

RESERVATION: before September 25, fax: 020-6384631 or e-mail: cultuurprogr@goethe.nl Price: DFl. 20.-/DFL.12.50 (reduction)

SUPPORT: Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, De Brakke Grond (Vlaams Cultuurhuis), The British Council, Instituto Cervantes, Goethe Institut, and Maison Descartes and N.W.O.

Well known from the San Francisco and Dutch music scenes, Steve and the Code Ensemble have been pushing out the tasty grooves for many a year. Marvel at a new re-orchestration of the theme from the film "The Taking of Pelham 123" or drown yourself in exotic Ethiopian melodie and always remember, The Code Ensemble does not disappoint.

About The Code Get ready for the unique experience of Steve Horowitz's The Code, a fusion of serious writing and absolute fun. Steve Horowitz is a composer/bassist who has created a diverse body of work over the last fifteen years, but none more varied or exciting than this latest group.

Horowitz has reinvented The Code with a new line-up and a new, funkier, sound. Think drum and bass meets jazz improv. The fearless Code plays music that hangs off the edge of trip rock, with jazz twisting in the winds. The first two compact discs were released to rave reviews, and the group performs without limits, a vast intersection for diverse styles. It is the perfect sound for a generation that cannot tell the difference between live and Memorex.

09/17 "The Third Knock" by Shahid Nadeem

Monday September 17, 8:00 PM
Tesri Dastak (The Third Knock)
Staged reading and world premiere of English translation

A play by Shahid Nadeem (Feuchtwanger Fellow 2001) Directed by Peter Levin

Highways Performance Space
1651 18th Street, Santa Monica (just north of Olympic Blvd)
(310) 315-1459 for reservations $10.00 / $5.00 students

The Freedom to Write Committee of PEN West, in cooperation with Villa Aurora and Highways Performance Space will hold a staged reading of "Teesri Dastak" ("The Third Knock"), a play by Shahid Nadeem, whose recent produciton of "Acquittal" filled the house at Highways in July. Set in Pakistan, "The Third Knock" deals with a land battle between poor tenants and a landlord, and through the developments, also deals with the history of Pakistan.

This is the first time PEN has had a play reading with a professional director and a professional cast. Come join us!

Shahid Nadeem, a Pakistani playwright, TV Director, journalist, and human rights activist, has written more than 30 plays and eight television serials for Pakistani television, many of which were also performed all over Asia and in Britain. He is the in-house playwright for Ajoka Theatre, Pakistan1s leading non-commercial theatre group. As a human rights activist he has worked for Amnesty International since 1980. He was imprisoned under all three military governments in Pakistan because of his non-violent opposition to military rule and his writings. He had to stay in exile from 1979-1988 and only returned when General Zia-ul-Haq died. He has been harrassed by the government since his return for writing about Pakistan1s human rights record and for supporting Indian-Pakistani friendship. In 1998, he was fired after his play, an adaptation of a Brecht play on Hitler, was regarded as an attack on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and for openly criticizing government interference in Pakistani Television affairs.

Currently, Shahid is a Feuchtwanger Fellow, an award given to distinguished writers who are forced to live in exile or suffer oppression in their own country. The Villa Aurora Feuchtwanger Fellowship is co-sponsored by the Getty Research Institute, 18th Street Arts Complex and PEN Center USA West/Freedom-to-Write Program.

Peter Levin has directed three dozen movies for television. "In The Name of the People", "Sworn To Silence", "The Marva Collins Story", "Two Voices", "Overkill", "The Littlest Victims" and "A Doctor1s Story" all dealt with social issues ranging from the death penalty to education to geriatric medicine to defense attorney confidentiality to pediatric aids. His latest mini-series was "And Never Let Her Go", broadcast last April. In the theater he has directed plays by Tom Stoppard, G.B.Shaw, Arthur Miller, George Kelly and William Shakespeare. He is an Honorary Board member of the Interact Theater Company.

Oliveros & friends, Noh Space 9-19-20

2840 Mariposa Street
SanFrancisco

Pauline Oliveros - accordion (Wednesday only)
Philip Gelb - shakuhachi
Shoko Hikage - koto
Una Nakamura - voice
Matthew Sperry - bass (Thursday only)
Toyoji Tomita - trombone
Eri Majima - dance

PAULINE OLIVEROS has become a senior figure in American avant-garde. In the '50s she was part of a circle of iconoclastic composers, artists, poets and such gathered loosely around John Cage. Oliveros has been as interested in finding new sounds as in finding new uses for old ones - nowadays she most often plays accordion, an unexpected visitor perhaps to musical cutting edge, but one which she approaches in much the same way that a Zen musician might approach the Japanese shakuhachi. Pauline Oliveros' life as a composer, performer and humanitarian is about opening her own and others' sensibilities to the universe and facets of sounds. Since the 1960's she has influenced American music profoundly through her work with improvisation, meditation, electronic music, myth and ritual. Pauline Oliveros is the founder of Deep Listening, which comes from her childhood fascination with sounds and from her works in concert music with composition, improvisation and electro-acoustics. Pauline Oliveros describes Deep Listening as a method to listen in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing. Such intense listening includes the sounds of daily life, of nature, of one's own thoughts as well as musical sounds. Deep Listening is my life practice," she explains, simply. John Cage: "Through Pauline Oliveros and Deep Listening I finally know what harmony is... It's about the pleasure of making music."

Eri Majima attended to North Carolina School of The Arts in Ballet for 4 years and has worked with renowned international dance companies such as Chen and Dancers (NY), Mariko Sanjo Dance Company (NY), Hyo Takahashi's Balletopia Company (Tokyo), and The Alvin Ailey Workshop Company (NY). In 1984 she established her dance school in Tokyo, teaching ballet and Modern. In 1995 established her own dance company; Eri Majima Dance Emerge. She was nominated for Japan Platform in Les Ves Recontre Choreographic Competition in 1996 and also received a prize in Saitama Int'l Choreography Competition in 1997. She has given workshops at Mary Sano's Studio of Duncan Dancing, Jon Sim's, and classes at San Francisco Dance Center, and performances at Venue 9, City College of San Francisco, Somarts Cultural Center, and Noh Space of Theater Yugen in San Francisco as well as at Theater X , Session House in Tokyo and at Torii Hall in Osaka. She is interested in collaborating with artists and musicians, has worked with Chris Brown (composer, computer), Mamoru Fujieda (composer), Philip Gelb (shakuhachi), Shoko Hikage (koto), Carla Kihlstedt, (violin), Hugh Livingston (cello), Yoshihide Otomo (turntable), Keisuke Ohta (violin), Noriko Nagano (soft sculpture), Yoji Toyosaki (artist), Hidekatsu Yanagi (artist), Yoshio Ojima(composer).

Matthew Sperry was introduced to Improvised Music in 1990 while studying avant-garde, world and classical musics at Florida State University. It was there that he met and worked with Wadada Leo Smith and started a life-long collaboration with shakuhachi player Philip Gelb. During the 1990's Matthew worked with a small but dedicated community to perform and present Free Improvised Music to a growing audience in the Northwest. While in Seattle he was also a member of some of Seattle's more notorious music groups, including The Long String Instrument Band, The Black Cat Orchestra, Seattle Experimental Opera, Gamelan Pacifica and iv bricoleurs. Matthew now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area where he regularly collaborates with percussionist Gino Robair and many others. He has performed with an international cast of improvisors, including John Butcher, Wolfgang Fuchs, Gunther Christmann, Jack Wright, George Graewe, Wally Shoup, Philip Gelb, Paul Hoskin, Francois Houle, Carla Kihlstedt, Raymond Strid, Gianni Gebbia, Erhard Hirt, Sean Meehan, Stuart Dempster, Wadada Leo Smith and Dana Reason. Sperry has received several grants and commissions for composition and performance, including a Meet the Composer grant in 1999 for solo bass improvisations. Matthew composes and performs original scores for film and dance as well. He has collaborated with choreographers Sheri Cohen, Crispin Spaeth, Margit Galanter and Lila Hurwitz, Ronly Blau, Joan Laage. With the Black Cat Orchestra and iv (four) bricoleurs, Sperry has helped compose scores for over twenty silent films.

Una Nakamura, MA, is founder of the Sisters of the Sound Continuum, an improvisational music group. She offers vocal "sound blessings" as soul expressions for healing, relaxation, and freedom of spirit in a variety of settings from hospitals to concerts. She is an experienced facilitator of retreats, and offerings on sound, healing and creative self-expression classes and workshops.

Toyoji Tomita studied trombone at the Juilliard School of Music and the Curtis Institute of Music, and studied the didjeridu with Stuart Dempster. In 1976 he won the First Prize in the Gaudeaumus International competition for Interpreters of Modern Music in Rotterdam, Holland. Living in Paris, France for the next three years, he toured Europe extensively both as a soloist and as a member of the Ensemble Musique Vivante, Diego Masson director. He received an M.F.A. in electronic composition from Mills College in 1986.

Announcing the Launch of the Website for: "Re: Duchamp Traveling Exhibition"

La Biennale di Venezia: 49th International Exhibition of Art-- Concomitant Exhibitions

http://www.nyartsmagazine.com/duchamp

"The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition is a project that has been evolving over time. It has traveled to various cities in Germany, Poland, Chile and Israel, as well as New York City. It is the ongoing work of Abraham Lubelski, and incorporates the work of over 250 other artists, including Nam June Paik, Dennis Oppenheim, Carl Andre, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Taylor Mead, Larry Weiner, David Humphrey, Inka Essenhigh....

The Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition at the 49th Venice Biennale* is an installation of clotheslines from which artwork is hung.** The idea for this installation is derived from Marcel Duchamp's infamous benefit exhibition organized on the Premises of the Coordinating Council of French Relief Societies, 451 Madison Avenue, New York, October 14th - November 7th, 1942, in which he criss-crossed the entire gallery with one mile of string. This entanglement, which the public had to negotiate when they came to view the art, stood as a metaphor for the difficulties encountered in attempting to understand modern art.

The current exhibition uses this Duchampian metaphor to point to connectivity as much as any difficulty that might hinder an appreciation of art in the digital age---art whose nature may be partially or completely ephemeral, time-based, or immaterial, and which might be conveyed digitally or housed virtually. Re: Duchamp celebrates the process of visual sampling in a world where the line between original and copy has been blurred, and the medium is the readymade.

** Participating artists were asked to e-mail their submissions as digital files. These were printed out, placed in plastic sleeves and brought to Venice for installation. Hung from criss-crossing lengths of string at the Church of S. Maria Ausiliatrice, they resemble so many Tibetan prayer flags, the wind and the Web conveying and disseminating their messages.

* At the 49th Venice Biennale, the Re: Duchamp Travelling Exhibition forms part of the Markers Project, which involves organizations in Venice including the Peggy Gugghenheim Collection, the Biennale Arti Visive, and the Municipality of Venice itself." [--notes, Joy Garnett]
