Flux/S – Drafts Establishing Future 
9-12 September 2010, Strijp-S Eindhoven 

Graag nodigen wij u uit voor de tweede editie van het
crossdisciplinaire kunstenfestival Flux/S, van 9 t/m 12 september op
Strijp-S in Eindhoven.

Op donderdag 9 september bent u vanaf 19:00 uur van harte welkom voor
de opening inCrushroom, een interventie in de publieke ruimte van het
jonge architectencollectief Lilith Ronner van Hooijdonk. Om 19:30 uur
geeft het Lunapark ensemble een bijzondere uitvoering van 'Workers
Union’ (1975, Louis Andriessen) ten beste en isFlux/S – Drafts
Establishing Futureofficieel geopend!
 

 

 

Strijp-S and Flux/S : episode 2

Met de eerste eerste pioniers die in het gebied zijn neergestreken
doet de menselijke maat schoorvoetend zijn intrede tussen bouwkranen,
zandhopen en verbindingswegen. Intermenselijke, sociale en economische
vraagstukken dringen zich op. De tweede editie van Flux/S met als
vooruitziende titelDrafts Establishing Futurespeelt in op de komst van
deze eerste bewoners, en de eerste wisselwerking tussen mens en
omgeving. De site-specific installaties en voorstellingen maken
onzichtbare processen en voorwaarden die hierbij van belang zijn
tastbaar voor de bezoeker.

Flux/S – Drafts Establishing Future

De tweede editie van Flux/S haalt opnieuw een international gezelschap
van kunstenaars, performers, architecten, dansers, schrijvers en
musici naar Strijp-S, het voormalige Philips industrieterrein in de
binnenstad van Eindhoven.
Vier dagen lang reageren zij met 35 installaties, performances,
interventies en uitvoeringen, verspreid over 20.000 m2
tentoonstellingsoppervlak en twee hectare buitenruimte, op de
mogelijkheden en uitdagingen van dit nieuwe culturele stadshart in
wording.

 

 

Programme highlights
 
Tony Orrico gebruikt in zijnPenwald-serie zijn eigen lichaam - en de
perfecte beheersing daarvan - als instrument om de natuurlijke maar
delicate relatie tussen lichaam, geest en omgeving weer te geven.
Telcosystems laat met de installatie12_serieszien hoe de
ogenschijnlijk tegenstrijdige combinatie van voorgegeven algoritmische
structuren en onvoorspelbare gedragingen van fundamenteel belang is
voor creatieve ontwikkeling. De vier kunstenaars achter Conditional
Design gaan, gevoed en aangestuurd door de keuzes van bezoekers, een
1100 m2 grote vloer in het SBP-gebouw een geheel nieuwe invulling
geven. Afsluitend zullen op de laatste avond de 10 new wave
jazzmuzikanten van Atomic + The Vandermark 5 in een daverend concert
al improviserend reageren op vier dagendrafts establishing future.

[spectre] Vienna, 8/9 June - A Commonality That Cannot Speak: Europe in Translation

2012-05-17 Thread eipcp 
A Commonality That Cannot Speak: Europe in Translation

International Conference

8/9 June 2012, 10.30-17.00

Kunsthalle Exnergasse, WUK

Währinger Strasse 59, 1090 Vienna


What is at the core of the European crisis today? The trouble with the Euro,
as the ruling elites want us to believe? Wrong! The crisis is not about the
common currency, but about the current commonality. Europe not only lacks a
common language to collectively respond to the crisis, or a common public
space to mobilize joint democratic action against its disastrous social
consequences. It fails, above all, to address the very commonality of today's
capitalist crisis that now returns to Europe after having long been displaced
to other parts of the world, outsourced to those "others" who were not, and
still are not, supposed to enter a truly shared sphere of commonality. Hence,
when today, caught in crisis, the European modes of speaking and decision-
making fall apart into a cacophony of national languages and a chaos of
parallel political realities, they simultaneously keep silencing the very
commonality of the question of commonality.


It has been claimed that translation can offer a solution to the enigma of
linguistic and political commonalities. But what kind of translation?
Certainly not the one that simply serves the communication between allegedly
homolingual communities and thus reproduces the already existing regimes and
imaginaries. So how can we think of another kind of translation, one that
addresses a non-aggregate community of foreigners, migrants of all sorts, but
also all those who are becoming increasingly foreign to their own "native"
languages, cultures, societies and political institutions: a translation that
evokes a new mode of sociality still in search of its political actualization?
