[spectre] CCCK – Lviv Cultural Capital - Guid ed Tour (Ingela Johansson, Inga Zimprich, Volodymy r Kuznetsov) (Modified by Geert Lovink)
CCCK – Lviv Cultural Capital Guided Tour Sunday September 23rd 6 pm Meeting Point: Idea Museum Valova 18 a Lviv Guided by Oleksandr Ruchko The Center for Communication and Context (CCCK) is an initiative by Ingela Johansson (SE), Volodymyr Kuznetsov (UA) and Inga Zimprich (DE), offering a brainstorm-structure to imagine possible scenarions for contemporary art institutions in Ukraine. Within the project Post Funding Eastern Europe the artists currently investigate the institutional landscape in Lviv, Odessa and Kiev towards a presentation at the CCA Kiev in October 2007. This Sunday at 6 pm the artists will present their Lviv-based research, which included interviews with Vlodko Kaufman, Oles Dzyndra, Roman Hankevych, Bogdan Shumylovych, Irina Starovoyt, Vasyl Kosiv, Zenovi Matsurik and students of the MA program at the Centre for the Humanities, Lviv. In form of a guided tour through the city existing cultural institutions will be presented as well as we will discuss their possible future scenarios next to governmental reformation plans. Whether Lviv will blossom as Ukraine's cultural capital, whether creative industries will foster cooperation between private and public partners in the future, and whether the cultural sphere developed in Lviv can inspire other Ukrainian cities will be topics raised along the tour. Afterwards we would like to invite the tour's participants to stay for an informal drink. Please bring umbrellas in case it might rain. http://www.ccc-k.net http://www.guides.lviv.ua http://www.idem.org.ua http://www.dzyga.com.ua http://humanities.lviv.ua The project Post Funding Eastern Europe is documented at www.ccc-k.net This phase of the Post Funding project is realized in the frame of the Swedish Ukrainian Cultural Project SWIZHE organized by Index Foundation and Center for Contemporary Art Kiev. The Ukrainian - Swedish program is supported by the Swedish Embassy in Kiev and the Swedish Institute.

[spectre] tesla-berlin threatened with closure
dear friends,
berlin's mediaartslab TESLA is facing closure
by the end of this year. the spaces in the
podewils'sches palais and the complete funding
are being withdrawn after three years of
pioneering work.
the immediate reason for this is that the local
government that funds tesla needs the money for
something else ('cultural education', fostering
the appreciation of art by young people, e.g. by
bringing artists into schools, building
partnerships between art institutions and
schools, etc.). moreover, they were supposedly
not happy about the relatively low number of
paying visitors at tesla. they completely
disregarded the fact that we had many non-paying
visitors, and ignored the singular role that
tesla has as a laboratory and production place
for artists working with different media and
technologies.
if you would like to comment on this to our state
secretary for culture, andre schmitz, who is
politically responsible for this decision, it
would be much appreciated. please, cc us.
regards,
-a
t e s l a
media art laboratory
call to action
in light of the current threat to t e s l a 's
existence, we call upon artists, audience, and
colleagues, to communicate to the state of berlin
what the city risks to lose with this decision.
learn more about the current situation at
http://www.tesla-berlin.de , write a letter or an
e-mail to mr andre schmitz, the state secretary
for cultural affairs, and please remember to send
a copy to t e s l a , as well, for our
documentation. you will find the necessary
addresses at the end of this mail.
rather than generic protest letters, we
particularly encourage qualified statements on
the meaning and importance of media art, on the
need for venues for artistic production,
presentation, and reflection, on support for
media art in berlin, and on t e s l a 's role in
both a local and international context. in the
coming months, we will increase our efforts to
attain support from the state of berlin for this
branch of the arts, and we hope that this action
will make it clear that a real need and a broad
interest exists.
we thank you for your support. we hope that this
campaign will reach those responsible for
cultural politics and demonstrate to them the
vital need for a competent center for art and
media in berlin. please forward this call trough
your mailing list. please address any questions

The game show where the crowd has all the answers, makes up the questions and sets the rules. On the 9th October 'The People Speak' a London based art collective are to conduct a radical experiment in live entertainment. 'Who Wants to Be?' mixes democratic decision-making, interactive animation and improvisation into a dangerously spontaneous game show. Using a computer vision voting system designed for use by hoards of rowdy people, the audience at the Albany Theatre in Deptford will be asked to decide how to spend a £1000 cash pot: the entire box office takings! http://whowantstobe.co.uk/ Open Source Embroidery: Ele Carpenter presents Open Source Embroidery and the HTML Patchwork Bringing together programming for embroidery and computing this project takes as its basis the common characteristics of needlework crafts and open source computer programming: gendered obsessive attention to detail; shared social process of development; and a transparency of process and product. Open Source Embroidery is a socially engaged art project developed through workshops and an email list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are also groups on Facebook and Flickr. The same arguments about Open Source vs Free Software can be applied to embroidery. The needlework crafts also have to negotiate the principles of 'freedom' to create, modify and distribute, within the cultural and economic constraints of capitalism. The Open Source Embroidery project simply attempts to provide a social and practical way of discussing the issues and trying out the practice. http://open-source-embroidery.org.uk/ Deptford.TV: Adnan Hadzi presents Deptford.TV, an audio-visual documentation of the regeneration process of the Deptford area. Since September 2005 Deptford.TV started assembling AV material around the regeneration process of the Deptford area, asking community members, video artist, film-makers, visual artists and students to contribute statements, feedbacks, critiques of the regeneration process of Deptford. This rough material as well as edited media content is made available on the Deptford.TV database and distributed over the boundless.coop wireless network with an open content license such as the creative commons and the gnu general public license.
