Haan galo - haan galo is a duo-performance of Patrícia Corrêa and Liesje van den Berk about relation, game and control. The eye connection is an important part of our work. Two persons are connected in there own game… a voice without sound and a powerful profound bond. We also use subtle elements to communicate our game with the audience. For example the metronome, that marks the pulse of the game. The sound communicated with the audience this intimate game that we were playing.
Eye contact that never breaks, increasing emotions, control, breathing, control, fight, control, friendship, control, tears, control and more breathing… We talk with the eyes!
Patricia en Liesje met each other at PAS (Performance Art Studies) in Berlin in the summer of 2011.
Liesje van den Berk is a visual artist. She makes realistic drawings, which often grow into installations with real people and performance. She shows her work in galleries and public space in the Netherlands, Germany and the United States, such as Bart Kunst in Huis, Oerol and Grimmuseum Berlin.
Patrícia Corrêa is a performance artist, researcher, curator and cultural producer. In her work as a performer she is currently developing snapshot actions in Lisbon (Portugal), city were she works and lives. She showed her work in Lisbon, Berlin and most recently at the 6th edition of Sao Tome and Principe Biennal.

As an actress Martine van Ditzhuyzen has a preference for physical acting and object manipulation.
She worked a lot in children theatre as a puppet player. Three years ago she founded the collective Trickster with Marielle Verdijk en began to give multimedia performances based on improvisation. Also she started her study in theatre science. In her first “solo” performance ‘The story I live by’ she will explore the concept of identity en storytelling. She links objects with her storytelling to underline the influence of the outside world on the way she looks back, interprets, gives sense and talks about some of her live events. Who will tell the story; will it be she or the objects? What story will be told and will it be the objects story or her story? She asked composer and performer Barbara Ellison, also a member of Trickster, to join her in the
performance.

PAEkort is a monthly event organized by PAE presenting two performance art works in one evening in the Wolfart Projectspaces Rotterdam. The aim is to have a more regular stage for performance art to encourage the performance art in the Netherlands and keep the audience connected by building up a relationship through regularity. Next that we want to present established performance artists our focus will be more on the beginners and the ones who have no experience but need a place for the experiment.

PAEkort is supported by the “Mya - NAC culture fund” and Stichting bevordering van Volkskracht.

in_flux

Occupy Space are proud to present in_flux, a large scale alternative art fair exhibition which brings together ten artist-led project spaces from Ireland and Europe.

Invited Art Spaces:

126 Galway; 1646 The Hague; Basement Project Space Cork;
Block T Dublin; Catalyst Belfast; Monster Truck Dublin; Transition
London; Transmission Glasgow; SOMA Waterford; W_Lf_rt Rotterdam

This temporary hub invites the public and art practitioners to engaging in a weekend of performances, screenings, exhibitions, art viewing and dialogue.

This project considers the model of artist-led spaces, which provide alternative frameworks for art practices, and represent communities where ‘doing-it-yourself’ and experimentation are key activities. Artist-led spaces are vital, energetic elements of the visual art fabric of many cities. This exhibition, consisting of pop-up galleries from each artist-led space, makes reference to an non-traditional art-fair format in which non-profit artist-led spaces present exhibitions rather than commercial galleries striving to sell work.

From May 26 - 29 in_flux temporarily takes over the Thomas Street Centre, an 11,000 m2 landmark building in Limerick city centre. The ten galleries will present their pop-up exhibitions over five extensive floors, while the top floor will host an e v+ a bookshop and in_flux Salon, a place for discussion, screenings and talks.

in_flux brings to Limerick a exciting sample of diverse contemporary art practices from some of the most interesting artist-led spaces in Ireland and Europe. This project initiates a collaboration between grass-roots art spaces of similar orientations, with the intention of creating new opportunities for artists locally, nationally and internationally, while promoting the strength of visual culture in Limerick.

A series of events will accompany the exhibition programme including VideoGram, 10 x10 Pecha Kucha, artist talks and visits to local studios. in_flux is partnering with Limerick City Gallery of Art and e v+ a to present Double Act, a series of conversations, screenings and reflections on the collaborative process with guest appearances by a number of interesting artists, curators and other creative types. Double Act Programme will take place in the in_flux Salon from May 26 - 28. Full details to be announced on the LCGA website http://www.gallery.limerick.ie

LCGA has also extended the run of How Capital Moves a new body of work by artist duo Kennedy Browne, curated by Annette Moloney, to coincide with in_flux. Originally commissioned for the Lodz biennale Poland 2010 the work is partly a response to a computer factory relocating to Łódź in Poland from Limerick, Ireland.  Open at Istabraq Hall, Merchant’s Quay, Limerick 9.30 - 5.30 throughout in_flux.

Concurrent to in_flux Occupy Space presents an exhibition which considers human obsession with the end of the world. Oops Apocalypse presents work by Beagles & Ramsay, Baldvin Ringsted, Sam Dargan and Alan Mongey, responding in different ways to our fixation with the apocalypse. Open1 - 5pm, Wednesday to Saturday.

in_flux launches on Thursday 26 May at 7pm in Occupy Space.

An exhibition with Toon Fibbe, Arvo Leo, Fran Meana, Anna Okrasko, Anouchka Oler, Se Ra Park, Miho Shimizu, Sophie Valero and Martijn in ’t Veld

The United States Air Force coined the term UFO in 1952. Science pointed to the fact that there were some unexplained phenomena. An entire platform of beliefs from an unknown world, an unknown otherness was opened. UFOs are one of the viewable examples that show that belief has changed and does not belong to religion anymore. Why we still need and desire to believe is an open question.

As artists we are building, re-enacting, telling stories about belief. The belief as an unknown object, an aimless and desperate desire, where the focus would not be the object of desire in itself but the “hope” which is developed before this. The aim of the project is to approach the desire to believe and what it begets through different practices and interests connected to this notion. The object of this desire does not have to be pronounced; maybe because it does not exits. Maybe, we can offer a belief with its invisible borders between fiction and reality, a belief between sincerity and irony. This ambiguous statement of produced belief is asking trust. Is it allowed, to not consider something as true, but as something that has to be trusted and so believe in a blissful way?

“As a first approximation, I define “belief” not as the object of believing (a program, a dogma etc.), but as the subject’s investment in a proposition, the act of saying it and considering it as true – in other words, a “modality” of the assertion and not its content.”

PROGRAM NOTES

Two experienced experimental musicians respectively from Berlin and Paris team up to present two solo performances very different from each other and therefore highly complementary. They will be joined by Rotterdam based Robert Kroos, a versatile musician, who will perform one out of his many projects - in this case subtle layered noise. Expect a fascinating evening in sonic abstraction.

Chessex will present a piece for tenor saxophone and backtape which aims to explore the architecture of the space through dense layers of sustained acoustic textures performed in real time on the saxophone and their sonic shadows on tape. The result is a grand cluster of beatings reacting with the geometry of the space. A performance in total immersion in the sound.
Riviere performs energetic electronic music. Armed with a pickup, and an array of metal pieces, wires and stuff stuck into the mixing board, Rivière deconstructs electronic music with both hands resulting in an intense, physical and highly engaging performance. His works extend the practices of Yoshihide Otomo and Martin Tetreault, where the raw sound of the material overwhelms any sort of reference or functionality that the turntable medium was originally intended to have.
Kroos will perform his project Torture Corpse, using guitar, bass, vocals, fieldrecordings, world receiver, tuning forks, singing bowls, swarmandal, harmonium, contact mikes and much more. An unflinching gaze at the brutal state of the world through Netherlands-zen/apocalyptic-Buddhist lenses.

PROGRAM NOTES

Aki Onda will play at ALL EARS! field-recordings from his cassette collection. He lives and works in NYC, is an electronic musician, composer, and photographer. He is particularly known for his Cassette Memories project – works compiled from a “sound diary” of field-recordings collected by Onda over a span of two decades. Onda’s musical instrument of choice is the cassette Walkman. Not only does he capture field recordings with the Walkman, he also physically manipulates multiple Walkmans with electronics in his performances.  Onda has collaborated with artists such as (selection) Michael Snow, Ken Jacobs, Alan Licht, and Shelley Hirsch.
Lionel Marchetti is a composer of Musique concrète. First self-taught, he discovered the catalogue of Musique Concrète with Xavier Garcia. He has composed in the CFMI of Lyon 2 University between 1989 and 2002, where he still organizes workshops focused on the loudspeaker, the recorded sound and Musique Concrète, both on practical and theoretical levels. He has built his own recording studio, and composes also in the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in Paris since 1993. Lionel Marchetti also performs improvisation using microphones and loudspeakers, as a duo with Jérôme Noetinger, with the collective Le Cube with (Christophe Auger, Étienne Caire, Christophe Cardoen, Xavier Quérel, Jérôme Noetinger, Gaëlle Rouard) that performs live music and where films are shown and worked on interactively, and with the collective Archipel : Emmanuel Petit, Mathieu Werchowski, Sophie Agnel, Fabrice Charles, Pascal Battus. Since 1992, he organizes regular workshops centered on Radio and creation together with Olivier Capparos for France Culture. At the same time, he writes poetry, and develops theoretical thoughts on Musique concrète and the art of the loudspeaker.
Anne Wellmer will premiere her new installation_performance an(ten)ne from schevening TV. Please bring your laptop to play a (short) QT movie file. Your laptop will be part of the piece. The more laptops the merrier!
Anne is a German composer, performer, singer, sound artist and curator living and working in The Hague (NL). She studied electronic music at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague and composition at Wesleyan University in Middletown CT/USA. Among her work are sonic environments for performances, sound installations, live music for dance and theater, radio art, music theater pieces, network projects and improvisation with electronics. Recent projects include acoustic performances with UIUIUI KOO -with Rotterdam based Cora Schmeiser and Nina Hitz, performances of “healing bells” by Joost van Balkom for carillon, saxophone and solo voice in the bell tower of the kathedral in den bosch, the realisation of Alvin Lucier’s Sferics as an installation in a krater by the seaside in Malmö/Sweden, a 24hour battery-driven-laptop-performance with Julien Clauss on a mountain top in the french alps and - in collaboration with Het Blauwe Huis - a sound walk for Soundtrackcity in Amsterdam.
