Its raining migrants!

Tonight : Gluklya @ Akinci Gallery - Wings of Migrants

AKINCI GALERY and IMES are pleased to invite you to a viewing and a round table discussion of the art project Wings of Migrants. The project is a collaboration between the artist Natalya Pershina-Yakimanskaya ‘Gluklya’ (Factory of Found Clothes, St. Petersburg, Russia) and Olga Sezneva (Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies, UvA). Wings of Migrants is a video installation which investigates – in a uniquely created setting of cultural encounter – the dynamics of interaction between representatives of Russia’s ethno-national elite and migrants from Central Asia employed in the construction work. As an art form, Russian classical ballet is characterized by the desire for order, beauty and harmony. As a cultural phenomenon, it incorporates the idea of empire, power and discipline. As an institution, it continues to be dominated by ethnic Russians. Construction work, in contradistinction, is perceived as a polluted, disorderly, and undesirable activity. As in many other countries, construction workers are irregular, undocumented migrants, and are received with disrespect and discrimination. In Wings of Migrants the two groups meet and collaborate in the creation of a dance performance. How does this encounter unfold and what happens as its result? What do the participants learn from each other, what do they reject, and how do they change as they dance together? How can the arts and artists intervene in social problems and political reality?

The project starts from the dream to organize the “Theatre of migrants” in St-Petersburg . Imagine if there can happened ? Monprints and graphics there is a continuation of the research about the social change happened in Russia with the migrants appearance .The installation consists from the : 3 videos , 4 whatecolours, 3 dresses , 10 monoprints and the wall with death migrants statistic ,written by hand .It is the collaborative work . All this done with somebody ,that s why it s called Factory of Found project . I am trying to work as a small institution.))

Hear ye hear ye local friends!

Lieve vrienden en familie,

Onderstaand verzoek mail ik graag door:

Er is ophef over de site van de PVV, waar je kunt klagen over de Oost-Europeanen.

Als je naar de PVV- site gaat schrik je je een ongeluk. De tekst is werkelijk schandelijk.

Op de site zie je dat je kunt klikken op 'Meld Uw Verhaal Hier' Je kan daar met ja/nee aanvinken of je last hebt van overlast, crimineel gedrag, geweld e.d.

Het voorstel is nu dat velen van ons meedoen en overal 'nee' op klikken: "Nee hoor, nergens last van..."

Misschien kunnen we een kettingreactie veroorzaken, namelijk dat duizenden mensen aanklikken, dat ze geen last hebben. Dat zou die PVV actie (in elk geval een klein beetje) onderuit halen. Als Wilders met de uitkomst naar de minister stapt, zal hij moeten aangeven dat duizenden hebben gezegd géén last te hebben.

Doe mee, ga naar de site en haal 'm zo onderuit! Je kunt anoniem insturen, want ja, laf zijn die PVV-ers natuurlijk ook nog. De actie is via H. B. naar mij gestuurd en gaat via de email al flink rond. S.v.p. doorsturen dit verzoek.

Hartelijke groet

J. W.

MTVS Broadcasting World Citizenship Saturday 22Oct_20h

Goleb is pleased to announce the performance (MTVS) Broadcasting World Citizenship by Lado Darakhvelidze. The performance (which will be the first in a series of ‘connections’ in the build up to his residency and performance at Goleb in February 2012) will take place within a TV-set-up, complete with dancers and a house band.

Connecting via Skype, Darakhvelidze will explore the notion of Citizenship by establishing a cross-cultural dialogue with Cornell University and Telluride House; a residential community committed to supporting democratic ideals of governance.

The dual performance will include a variety of presentations from New York and Amsterdam. Included in the line up is a performance by Nadia Tsulukidze (GR/NL) and Ntando Cele (SA/NL) inspired from the South African Toyi Toyi: a dance that was frequently used during political protests in South Africa. Together they will investigate the principles and elements of the dance that are used to transform a crowd into a community.

Amsterdam Broadcast:

This Just In! (House-Band) featuring: Jessica Dill (United States), Kevin Schuit (Aruba), Kristina Mirova (Bulgaria), Maia Lyon-Daw (Scotland/The Netherlands), Stefan Wharton (England), Yutaka Hoshino (Japan) + special guests.

How to make a new identity - Heath Bunting

Date: Thursday, 20 October 2011

Time: 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Location: Netherlands Media Art Institute (NIMk)

Keizersgracht 264

Amsterdam

An identity is a mutable object. It’s negotiated between people, organizations, and institutions, formalized in documentation, actions, and possessions. In this workshop Heath Bunting (UK) shows how you create your own legal identity. As Bunting demonstrates, identities can be constructed over time by developing relationships to place a given “person” within a web of shopping cards, cell phones, bills, government correspondence, and other “personal” data. Identity Bureau challenges the idea of personhood by showing how materially produced an identity is.

Heath Bunting explores the porosity of borders. Often performing as an interventionist or prankster and finding form within everyday acts of resistance, Bunting's work reaches its public through systems of documentation and distribution including photography, print publishing and the web. Dismantling the divisions separating art and everyday life, Bunting prioritises information and action. His work is based on creating open and democratic systems by modifying communication technologies and social systems.

The workshop is limited to 15 participants. The participation fee is € 10,00 (€ 5,00 for students) including refreshments and entrance to the exhibition The Art of Hacking.

For more information and registration, please email to anouk@nimk.nl

Heath Bunting‘s work straddles various modes of action, documentation and visualisation. Bunting is best known for his involvement in the formation of the net.art movement in the 1990s and as a founder of irational.org. His practice may be viewed in parallel with the tendencies of historical movements such as Conceptual Art or the Situationist International. Dismantling the divisions separating art and everyday life, Bunting prioritises information and action. His work is based on creating open and democratic systems by modifying communication technologies and social systems. He explores the porosity of borders, both in the physical space and online. Often performing as an interventionist or prankster and finding form within everyday acts of resistance, Bunting's work reaches its public through systems of documentation and distribution including photography, print publishing and the web.
