1. Kyong Park, FF Alumn, at Cubbitt Gallery, London Oct 3 Nov 2, and in Germany.
Curated by Diana Baldon
Opening Thursday 2nd October, 7 9pm
Cubitt is pleased to present recent work by Kyong Park, FF Alumn, (Detroit) and new work by Marjetica Potrc (Ljubljana). The exhibition investigates contemporary urban living strategies through the contrasting case studies of Detroit and Caracas.
Kyong Park founded the International Center for Urban Ecology in Detroit in 1998 as a nomadic laboratory for future cities. The ICUE was set up as an interdisciplinary experimental forum that would generate different projects on contemporary urban crises and their possible futures. Working from the near eastside of Detroit, ICUE have produced number of works that critique, illuminate and proposition designs and theories, and have involved the participation of artists, architects, students and the local community. At Cubitt, Park will present Detroit: Making It Better For You (2000): a two-channel video that tells a fictional account of a fifty year long urban conspiracy to destroy and bankrupt Detroit so that it could be redeveloped profitably today. The video suggests the war between the sustainability of the local community against the greed of the global economy, the struggles of grass-root community activism against the collusion of political and industrial controls
Marjetica Potrc’s work focuses on various small-scale and individual initiatives that have been developed in cities globally in orderto improve basic living conditions. Her interest lies in the potential of self-sustainable, innovative design and infrastructure solutions, mixing low- and high-tech approaches, to foster individual empowerment and self-reliance. She cites forms of city dwelling, such as shantytowns and gated communities, as the two most successfulforms of living in the contemporary city. Over the past six months Potrc has been working as part of the Caracas Case Project. Caracas used to be one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, which has progressed into a post-planning state due to the invasion of barrios into the formal planned city. Anchored like medieval fortresses on the surrounding hillsides, these informal settlements subvert established notions of land ownership by reclaiming public space for private use and bringing the rural into the urban with public and private agricultural initiatives. Defense architecture is everywhere in today¹s Caracas, in both formal and informal city. At Cubitt Potrc will present a series of drawings which analyze the nature and structure of the barrios, and the video In Praise of the Dry Toilet (2003), which looks at the economy of water as the city’s most valuable and sought after commodity.

East Germany since the unification
More than 1.25 million people have moved out of East Germany
More than 1 million housing units are empty, expected to double in 20 years.
Most cities have lost 20% of its population
Unemployment is 18%
Halle Neustadt is a new city just outside of Halle, built during the GDR period, and housed more than 90,000 inhabitants at its peak year. Today, it has more than 30% vacancy, and 28 hi-rise apartment buildings are scheduled to be demolished soon.
and
THE SLIDE
A project by Kyong Park
For the Project Hotel Neustadt in Halle Neustadt, Germany
http://www.hotel-neustadt.de/
THE SLIDE is a continuous transparent tube that descends from the top to the bottom of an empty hi-rise building in Halle Neustadt, all 18 floors. Visitors can ride inside of it on a specially designed sled, and practically fly through the walls, floors and ceilings, and even outside of the building. THE SLIDE is a new kind of entertainment that combines the reality and fiction of architecture, and is ideal for the many empty buildings in East Germany.
Hey, mom and dad. I went through a building today! Its great, flying through the walls and floors. What a great idea for empty buildings. Fantastic! It’s like skateboarding, but better. Because your can fly through a building, whole 17 fucking floors. WOW. I was going so fast, I couldn’t believe it. And so smooth too. We should stop tearing down empty buildings from now on. Imagine. Every town in east Germany could have THE SLIDE. I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. Its boring to take my boyfriend to movies and restaurants all the time. Now I can take him to THE SLIDE.
Architecture use to be boring. But now, because of THE SLIDE, I begin to appreciate and even understand it. I now see great things that architecture can do for people like me. I was worried that my kids would get hurt. But after seeing how safe the design was, I took the slide myself. I am now THE SLIDE addict. I can’t wait until I can take my mother and father to THE SLIDE when they visit me next week.
THE MAJOR OF HALLE NEUSTADT
Yes you are absolutely correct. THE SLIDE saved Halle Neustadt. Before THE SLIDE, the town was loosing people. People were moving out to more exciting cities. Now Halle Neustadt is the most exciting city in Saxony, may be even the whole Germany. People are not just visiting and touring Halle Neustadt, but they want to live here too. We may have to build more housing now, because there is waiting lines for apartments and houses here now. I just can’t believe it. It was the best thing happened to this city, may be in our history.

6. André Stitt, FF Alumn, announces RHWNT through October, 2003
RHWNT
WALES – QUEBEC EXCHANGE
Performance art practice over the decades has often been predicated on the notion of meetings: contact and exchange. This process has lead to international networks of artists that form fluid amalgams and menaeouvres in and around existing art systems exemplified in dominant culture. Performance artworks often identified as time based or ephemeral activities are always temporary and often influenced by the place and the time in which they occur. As such they draw our attention to the very nature and process of art making and the connection or exchange made in the moment of the encounter.
RHWNT, literally meaning “between” in Welsh, is offered as a significant encounter between artists, writers and teachers from different cultural backgrounds. It is through contact and exchange that these practitioners have affirmed a collective affirmation of similarity. The unique identity of Wales and it’s language within the UK, the colonial legacy and contentious economies of exchange embedded in it’s history has a significant correlation with Quebec. Furthermore the formation of performance art collectives, art run centres and initiatives is the foundation of much of contemporary artistic culture in Cardiff and Quebec City.
RHWNT, organised as a collaborative exchange between Trace, Installation Artspace in Cardiff and Le Lieu, Centre en Art Actuel, in Quebec will take place throughout 2003-2004. Both orgnisations were set up to explore intersections between artistic disciplines. Both artist run centres locate their discourse within the dissemination of contemporary art practice that seeks to place emphasis on context, process, network and exchange. Their focus can be interpreted as primarily performative – to explore the previously unconsidered ways of thinking and doing offered by time based art and work that emerges from this activity – performance, installation, sonic and interactive arts.
Artistic directors of Trace; André Stitt & Le Lieu; Richard Martel, have selected emerging artists from both communities to present live and installed work in two major events. In October 2003 Quebec artists will be presented at Trace, Chapter Arts Centre and specific sites in Cardiff. The event will be augmented by two educational exchanges between Cardiff School of Art & Design, Concordia University, Montreal and Cicoutimi University, Quebec. A critic/writer from each city will also take part to create a commentary on the event and to further contextualize the issues and debates that arise from the meetings. In September 2004 a similar event will take place in Quebec representing Welsh artists. This will include work at Le Lieu Centre en Art Actuel, sites throughout the city of Quebec and the Sequence Gallery in Chicoutimi. Education exchanges will occur throughout 2003-2004.

Provincetown Exhibition At Meadows Motel – Letom Swodaem – Opens October 17 – Features 11 Artists in eight rooms who explore the memory, personal stories, and significance of this historic relic of the American Dream, before the Motel’s demolition.
THIRTY-EIGHT UNITS WITH 18 ARTIST STUDIOS TO BE BUILT, HALF AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
With a name that sounds more like a video game than an art show, Letom Swodaem, Meadows Motel spelled backwards – re-imagines eight rooms from this 1950s Provincetown motel slated to be demolished. The temporary exhibition, which includes eleven visual and muti-media artists, is being organized by the Provincetown Community Compact and is curated by its director, artist Jay Critchley. LetoM swodaeM, at the Meadows Motel on Bradford Street Extension in the far West End of Provincetown, will open on Friday, October 17 from 4-7 pm, and continue for ten days through October 26, open daily from noon to 4 pm. A development of 36 housing units is planned for the property, half with artist studios and half affordable housing.
The post-World War II economy brought the dominance and affordability of the automobile to middle class Americans, who traveled in greater numbers to the Cape tip for vacations, and to the Meadows Motel – a spare, one story motor court set back from the road, with a stone wishing well surrounded by a circle of trees. On the eve of its demise, artists will explore the memory, personal stories, and significance of this historic relic of the American Dream. Participants and their site-specific installations include the following:
Sculptor Maryalice Johnston, a resident of Provincetown for six yearsand Visual Arts Coordinator at the Fine Arts Work Center, willcollaborate with video artist Natalie Ferrier of France, now living in Truro. Johnston has shown recently at the Schoolhouse Center in Provincetown, the Boston Center for the Arts and the Attleboro Museum. The team will create a bathroom installation utilizing used hand soap and projected video;
Provincetown photographer Marian Roth, a Guggenheim Fellow, will create a room size, working pinhole camera for picture taking, Pinhole Motel, and a meditative space of reflective light. She exhibits her work at the Schoolhouse Center and Jane Bateman Gallery in New York City;
Provincetown multi-media artist Mary Jane Dean will create an installation entitled “FLOPSWEAT”, a piece that evokes claustrophobic irritation. She was a fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center and her work has been shown throughout the US and in Berlin and Barcelona. She was also an artist in residence at the World Trade Center;
Provincetown painter Willie Baracchi, a self-taught artist and US resident for 10 years, will create a mixed media installation, including a room-size skyline of the town, Provincetown for Sale; Baracchi was born in Venezuela and has shown his work in Fort Lauderdale and Provincetown;
Installation artist Frank Vasello of Provincetown will create an enchanted bedroom of isolation, utilizing trees, sand and grass. He has shown his work throughout New England and at Mobius in Boston. He presently has installations at Forest Hills Cemetery in Boston and at the Heritage Museum and Garden in Sandwich
Artist Mike Ware will create a personal, haunting meditative space that deals with the recent Catholic priest scandal, and the presence in Provincetown of the Reverend Paul Shanley, out on bail and awaiting trial. Ware is an award-winning designer who relocated from Boston to Provincetown in 1999 to attend Provincetown Art Institute, and shows his work at the Schoolhouse Center
The team of Tanya Rosenbaum and Jess Tsoukalas will create a mixed media installation dealing with issues of class and nature in Provincetown, utilizing honey and horse shoe crabs; Rosenbaum lives in Wellfleet and has shown her work in California and Switzerland; Tsoukalas, born and raised in Provincetown, has shown her work in Boston and the Dominican Republic
Will Shepa, newly-arrived on the Cape from Las Vegas to work with AmeriCorps, will explore community building through technology, (Un)building – Connections and Hookups, Opportunities and Limitations. He is a multi-media artist with an interest in architecture and historic preservation. He worked for Las Vegas and Miami TV stations as webmaster for the last six years
Wendelin Glatzel of Provincetown is a German-born film/video and installation artist. He has shown in the US and Europe, and was a fellow at the Center of Advanced Visual Studies at MIT. His installation, Whisper, will be stark, of earthen materials, and open to the elements.
The Provincetown Community Compact is a non-profit organization founded in 1993 to enhance the arts, economy and well-being of Provincetown and the Lower Cape. It’s projects include the annual Provincetown Harbor Swim for Life & Paddler Flotilla, set for September 11, 2004, and C-Scape Dune Shack – A Provincetown Retreat for Art and Healing, which offers a $500 fellowship and three-week residency to a visual artist.

October 8 – DIRTY MARTINI and BOBBY MILLER “NIGHT OF THE LIVING BLONDES”
On her way out the door to TEASEARAMA in Los Angeles, the international burlesque sensation DIRTY MARTINI brings her fabulous art form to the Magique stage for sets at 11:30 and 1:30. Miss Martini’s resume sounds like a film (and someday will probably become one!) In 1997, she traveled to Sarajevo to perform her show-stopping fan dance to a shell shocked public shortly after the peace accord was signed and the Serbian siege had ended. Since that time, she has declared herself the first fan dancer to perform in post-war Bosnia. In her native Manhattan, Dirty’s a featured performer at The VaVaVoom Room at The Fez, and performs frequently at The Slipper Room, The Red Vixen Burlesque, Joe’s Pub, and Cabaret Magique. She’s also the winner of the Sally Rand award for Fan Dance won at DIXIE EVANS EXOTIC WORLD BURLESQUE MUSEUM in 2001.
At 12:30, a familiar face returns to New York for one night only, when BOBBY MILLER performs a set of spoken word and songs for his devoted public.Bobby’s a poet, photographer, actor, hairdresser, make-up artist, singer and musician who after thirty years of living in NYC now resides in Provincetown, Massachusetts. His work is published as a writer, poet and photographer, and his epic poem “My Life As I Remember It” was an anthem of both the Jackie 60 VERBAL ABUSE reading series and the NUYORICAN POET’S CAFE slam scene. Tonight Bobby promises new work and a musical number or two with guitar diva LISA JACKSON. Can’t wait!

Avatar Body Collision presents
“swim – an exercise in remote intimacy” performed live via the internet at the Mesto Zensk City of Women International Festival of Contemporary Arts Tuesday 14 October, 10pm Galerija Kapelica, Ljubljana, Slovenia
“swim – an exercise in remote intimacy” is a collage of immersive images, splashy flirtations, wet moments and deep encounters between fleshy cyber bodies that delves into the possibilities and problems of intimacy without physical proximity.

16. Jeffrey Feldman, FF Alumn, at Tenement Museum, October 9, 6-8 pm
The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in collaboration with the Lower East Side Tenement Museum presents “What makes a space sacred?”
A panel discussion with artists: Thursday, October 9, 6-8 PM
Wine and cheese reception to follow at 90 Orchard Street, corner of Broome
Join the artists of “Regarding the Mihrab” – together with Harriet Senie, Professor and Director of Art History and Museum Studies Program at City College and Jeffrey Feldman, Professor of Museum Studies at New York University – in a discussion exploring how New Yorkers claim space as sacred after September 11th — and the conflicts that surround these spaces.
“Regarding the Mihrab”, an installation by Can Tiryaki, Tom Morbitzer and Goil Amornvivat explores how everyday space can be converted into a sacred site. This is the last installation of the year-long exhibition series, Points of Entry that explores the significance of immigrant communities in New York City, their experiences since 9/11, the issues surrounding new immigration policies, and global realities. On view in the Museum’s storefront windows at 97 Orchard Street, extended through November 30, 2003.

17. Warren Neidich, FF Alumn, at Spoonbill and Sugartown, November 4, 2003
Warren Neidich to talk about “The Cultured Brain” at Spoonbill and Sugartown on November 4, 2003 at 7:00 pm. The artist Warren Neidich has formulated an hypothesis that links the development of culture to the development of the brain. He believes that art has much to contribute to the investigation of the brain not so much as a way to understand the neurophysiologic aspects of the perception of the work of art but rather in understanding how culture itself affects the way the neurobiologic architecture of the brain is configured and reconfigured by the changing and mutating relations of culture. His selected writings, “Blow-up: Photography, Cinema and the Brain” published by DAP and the University of California, Riverside with an introduction by Norman Bryson is now in press and will be made available.

One-on-One
This exhibition will feature videos directed toward the viewer, one-on-one; such as a “talking head”, where you are an engaged participant, because of the directness of the presentation rather than a voyeur. Here the activity relies on the relationship between the performer and the viewer where the monitor becomes the conduit between the two; the intention and result being almost a conversation with the viewer. Rather than relying on elaborate technique and seamless production (as many contemporary video and film works by artists like Annika Larsson or Shirin Neshat do), these works are raw and direct, sometimes using a single take or real time. References would be Bruce Nauman’s “Lip Sync” (1969) or Richard Serra’s “Hand Catching Lead” (1968) or any nightly News anchor. This installation will consist of nine viewing stations each with one monitor and one chair, set up in a maze like layout.

ARTISTS: Lee Campbell, Bruce and Joan, Sarah Collins Claire Weetman, Elly Clarke, Calum F. Kerr, Aimee Chuter, Angela Hicks, Elizabeth McAlpine and Kimberley White
291 Gallery presents a night of performance art and large-format video presentations. This event features nine solo artists and one duet acclaimed for creating works which generate performative visual spectacles in their chosen field. The show exposes the aesthetic beauty in the production of each work and encourages the audience to participate and engage with the process of the work. Lee Campbell will create a huge site-specific junk installation covered with reduced-price stickers courtesy of Tesco Supermarkets. Aimee Chuter works under various guises and enigmas, this event sees her acting out various domestic activities under the identity of Wonderwoman. Calum F.Kerr – as a part of his absorbing series of performances in the UK and Berlin, Kerr’s performance at 291 combines fiendish slapstick with perverse dark humour. Claire Weetman will be presenting her acclaimed “Sit and Draw” performance in which she produces huge images using coloured pencils attached to a revolving chair. Bruce and Joan (Alexander Costello and Sarah Turner) produce highly comical and self-parodical works set within their own enigmatic world. The audience will be treated to fascinating snapshots of everyday life in this ‘land’. Liz McAlpine and Angie Hicks create video pieces which question the deconstruction of narrative within cinematic presentation. Plus video artists Elly Clarke and Kimberley White, showcasing a new programme of large format video presentations.

28. Oscar McLennan, FF Alumn, at UCLA, Oct 15-19, 2003
USA premiere of The Quiet Bastard – Director’s Cut at UCLA, MacGowan’s Little Theatre. 15th – 19th Oct. 8pm. Sun 19th 7pm. $30 ($17 students). Written & performed by Oscar McLennan with Audio visuals by Anne Seagrave. Commissioned by UCLA Live & The Dublin Fringe Festival.
Combining blisteringly surreal humor, manic energy and “prose that coils like a snake around your brain” (The Guardian), acclaimed Glasgow-born, Dublin -based, monologist Oscar McLennan weaves a darkly comic tale of a man who withdraws from society into his own cinema of dreams in the desert. Part satire, part reverie, part modern day Samuel Beckett, The Quiet Bastard _ Director’s Cut takes audiences to a place of outcasts and misfits, where the anarchy, vastness and desolation of the desert creep into the fringes of one’s being. Set against a swirling, evocative backdrop of sampled sound-tracks, slides and video projections, McLennan turns the raw pain and desperation of isolation into a thing of poetic eloquence and stark beauty.
