SEQUENCES

This is a great archive of filmed art books - collected and well proportioned publications which are clear and graphically challenging. Food for thought as we pace toward the portfolio hand in.

NIGHT SCHOOL

Night School is an artist commission in the form of a temporary school. The yearlong program uses the Museum as a site to engage the public. Seminars, workshops, screenings, and lectures explore thematic components addressed from the perspective of ongoing research and production, and constitute the core structure of the School. Night School draws upon a group of local and international artists, writers, and theorists to conceptualize and conduct the program, including Boris Groys, Martha Rosler, Liam Gillick, Walid Raad and Jalal Toufic, Okwui Enwezor, Hu Fang and Zhang Wei, Paul Chan, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Maria Lind, and Raqs Media Collective. Lectures, screenings, and conversations take place in the New Museum's theater and fifth-floor Museum as Hub space, as well as informal locations throughout the neighborhood.

LED'S

Last Saturday, 4.5 million LEDs lit up the Nabana no Sato theme park of Kuwana, Japan, kicking off their annual Winter Light Show that runs until March 8th. This year's theme is one of flowers, illuminated in 64 billion colors that are reported to change color so quickly that they actually resemble a river more than a field of blooming plants.

REACTIVATE

“The city as a place of play and re-appropriation.” This situationist notion forms the basis for the exhibition “Reactivate!!” curated by Francesca Ferguson with Pepe Ballesteros at the Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló. Until the end of August it will be presenting an international collection of strategies to revitalise urban space.
Reuse of the existing is a central theme, exploiting minimal resources and limited financial means to reach sustainable solutions, at times brilliant, often unexpected, from the driving school on the roof of a building devised by Atelier Bow Wow to modular temporary structures by the French collective EXYZT. Speed and flexibility are the essential ingredients for the situationist city and this also applies to its contemporary interpretation. One example is the urban nomadism proposed with “Permanent Breakfast”, an experiment devised in 1996 by Austrian artist Friedemann Derschmidt. The basic idea is to gather a group of people in a public space to create an improbable picnic. “Delete!” by Christoph Steinbrener and Rainer Dempf addresses public space invaded by advertising. In 2005 the two artists created a spectacular installation covering all advertising billboards, posters, logos, signs and street signs in yellow paper in Neubaugasse, a shopping street in Vienna, creating a disconcerting yet relaxing effect

BATTLESPACES - 26th NOVEMBER

Contemporary political discourse on armed violence and insecurity has been largely shaped by references to spatial knowledge, simulation, and control: "human terrain", "urban clutter", "terrorist sanctuaries", "failed states", "core-periphery". The historical counterpoint to this is to be found in the key role the successive technologies of clock, engine, computer, and network have all played in spatializing the practice of warfare. In this context, what implications do "feral" Third World cities, "rogue" cities organized along non-Western ideas of urban space and infrastructure, and "wild" cities reclaimed by nature, have for the battlespaces of today and tomorrow?
See you at this one - its free and looks good.
