Subject: [art+tech] Lecture by Francis Hunger

Francis Hunger presents his works. Thursday, February 10 from 5 pm - 7pm in
the LeRoy Neiman Gallery, Dodge Hall, School of Arts, Columbia University,
116th street corner Broadway.

Hunger's work spans a range of media including internet-art performances,
video, installation and digital media. His projects have included his
interests in the intersection of gender and computing technology. Recent
work presents the idea of the computer as male machine, a technology shaped
by the politics of Gender in its rapid transition from a machine to a
complex media. His presentation will include among other the works
"f0rwardpunk" (1999), "Krystalia" (2003) and his participation in the
Acoustic.Space.Lab in Irbene 2001.

Hunger is the Philip Morris artist-in-residence in the Visual Arts Division
of the School of the Arts.

A WALK TO REMEMBER
Organized by Jens Hoffmann

Holloway, Paul McCarthy, Ruben Ortiz Torres, Allen Ruppersberg, and Eric
Wesley.

"For the perfect flaneur, for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy
to set up house in the middle of the multitude, amid the ebb and flow of
movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite."
- Charles Baudelaire

A Walk to Remember is an exhibition that invites a group of Los Angeles
based artists to conceive and carry out guided tours through neighborhoods
and areas of the city with which they have a particular relationship or
affinity and that deal specifically with the rich cultural history of the
city.

The exhibition relates to Walter Benjamin's concept of the flaneur as a
figure who derives pleasure from the hustle and bustle of the city streets,
who moves purposelessly among the urban crowd with the eye of an artist: a
spectator of contemporary life and urban scenes. Yet, A Walk To Remember
diverts from Benjamin's idea when it examines a specific European phenomenon
of the early 20th century: the postmodern condition of Los Angeles in which
walking is clearly a thing of the past. In addition, in giving each walk a
purpose and in trying to bring various locations and social and cultural
relations of the city to the audience the exhibition reaches beyond what
Benjamin described as an "aimless affair."

Members of the audience taking part in a walk will each be given a
disposable camera to document their individual impressions of the artists'
walks from their distinct perspectives. The cameras will be collected at the
end of a walk and the developed photographs will be presented inside the
gallery space along with maps of the city outlining the different routes.

The Walks:

JOHN BALDESSARI
For John Baldessari's walk each member of the audience is asked to
photograph all intersection street signs from his studio at Bay and Main
Streets in Santa Monica to his second studio on 6th Street and Vernon Ave.
in Venice Beach. The artist will provide a map of the exact route.
Dates: 18 February 2005, 11:00am
27 March 2005, 11:00am

JENNIFER BORNSTEIN
The walk of Jennifer Bornstein is based on the artist's fascination for
Griffith Park in North Hollywood, which the artist has described as her
"studio." Bornstein will introduce the audience to the history of Griffith
Park and lead a tour through the park that will mimic the regular nature
walks one can take in the park.
Dates: 12 March 2005, 3:00 pm
3 April 2005, 3:00 pm

MEG CRANSTON
Meg Cranston will take the audience to Sherman Indian High School in
Riverside. The Sherman Indian High School is one of three remaining off
reservation Indian boarding schools in the United States. The students at
the school come from many different tribes and from all over the United
States. The school has a rich (sometimes tragic) history which Cranston will
relate to the lesser-known parts of Los Angeles' urban Indian history.
Dates: 15 April 2005, 8:00 am
16 April 2005, 8:00 am

MORGAN FISHER
Morgan Fisher's walk will connect two places in Santa Monica where he has
lived for a total of more than 20 years. Along the way, the walk takes a
digression to visit the site of a house where a friend of the artist lived,
then follows the path that he took each morning to buy a newspaper, and ends
with a visit to the former location of an art gallery that helped Fisher to
enter the Los Angeles art world. The walk illustrates the cliche that in Los
Angeles buildings are liable to disappear. The first place where the artist
lived was torn down and replaced by apartment buildings. The second place,
although still standing, will doubtless be torn down and replaced with
condominiums. The house where his friend lived is already gone.
Dates: 16 February 2005, time TBA
27 February 2005, time TBA

EVAN HOLLOWAY
The walk of Evan Holloway starts at his studio and finishes at the subway
station at 7th and Alvarado. The walk includes a great deal of information
about Los Angeles' history. Large Victorian style homes, the only evidence
of this neighborhood's once glamorous past, form a perverse backdrop to the
most degraded and sad prostitution market in LA. Pedestrians are regularly
offered opportunities to purchase fake IDs, illicit subway tokens, black
market cigarettes, and various illegal intoxicants. The walk will stop on
the way at LA's oldest deli to enjoy what is widely regarded as the finest
pastrami sandwich in the region.
Dates: 13 February 2005, 11:00 am
19 March 2005, 11:00 am

PAUL MCCARTHY
Paul McCarthy's walk proposes defining the parameters of a walk that could
then be "performed" by anyone who cares to do so. The artist is interested
in the idea of walking the same route a number of times and how one sees
things differently as they become familiar. For McCarthy 's walk the
audience will not need to come together as a group but can simply devise a
walk for themselves that they will then walk at least ten times. The start
and finish for the walk should be Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions on
Hollywood Boulevard.
Dates: On going

RUBEN ORTIZ TORRES
In Ruben Ortiz Torres walk we will visit and experience "El Pedorrero" (The
Farter) on Whittier Boulevard in the core of East Los Angeles. This muffler
shop is also a museum that holds a collection of a "million" items. Its
founder and director, Bill Al Capone Mufflers, describes it as a corporation
while also functioning as a laboratory and an architectural marvel. At "El
Pedorrero" Bill customizes cars, invents new 3D chessboards and
self-standing ice cream cones while at the same time developing his own life
philosophy.
Dates: 10 February 2005, 12:00 pm
10 March 2005, 12:00 pm

ALLEN RUPPERSBERG
Allen Ruppersberg's walk will be a personal WHATEVER BECAME OF tour looking
for glimpses of what was and still partially is. The axis of the tour will
be a visit to some of the major sites that figure in his particular history.
By looking to compare the What's Here to the What's Gone, exclaiming to each
other "Yes, that is the same!" or "No, it's lost forever," the artist hopes
the tour can find and enlarge the details of the art and the life that once
existed there.
Dates: 13 March 2005, 11:00am
2 April 2005, 11:00am

ERIC WESLEY
Eric Wesley will do a guided walk through a particular section of Griffith
Park. The walk will start at the base of the park near Los Feliz and extend
upward, to a peak in the park. It will be a midnight hike through the dark
wilderness accompanied by the telling of ghost stories based on the rumor
that the property which is now Griffith Park was donated to the city by
Griffith J. Griffith near the turn of the century as a bribe to get him off
attempted murder charges (he shot his wife in the head).
Dates: 25 February 2005, time TBA
6 March 2005, time TBA

FW: Looking for international artists/ collaborations


From: "Marcus Westbury" <marcus@nextwave.org.au>

To: "me me me" <marcus@nextwave.org.au>
Subject: Looking for international artists/ collaborations

Hi,

Next Wave's 2006 Festival will be presented alongside the 2006 Commonwealth
Games and i am actively looking for help finding artists from across the
Commonwealth. The job of finding young, engaged, exciting and challenging
artists from around the world is a big one and i need help, leads and tip
offs. Our job is particularly tricky because we are after the young,
provocative, diverse and exciting not the traditional and predictable or the
usual suspects.

Later this year i will be visiting a stack of Commonwealth countries looking
to meet individuals and organisations who might be interested in getting
involved in our 2006 Festival. I am seeking artists that have an interesting
take on our theme of "Empire Games".Do you know people in one or other of
the cities that i will be visiting who i should meet and may be able to help
me find exciting young artists in the vein of Next Wave?

Specifically do you know anyone in any of the following cities (or places
nearby, it is not entirely locked down at this stage):

Auckland (NZ), Vancouver, Montreal (Canada), Kingston (Jamaica), London
(England), Glasgow (Scotland), Lagos (Nigeria), Johannesburg, Capetown
(South Africa), Nairobi (Kenya), Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata (India), Kuala
Lumpa (Malaysia) and Singapore. Suggestions of people from other
Commonwealth Countries not listed here (see list at the end) or elsewhere in
these countries are also welcome.

The artists that i am looking for could be working in any form (from opera
to hip-hop, from community radio or publishing, digital media to painting or
theatre) as long as they have a take on the world that they live in. If you
know Next Wave what we're after is an international mix of artists in the
same vein. If you don't know Next Wave, have a look at our web site at
www.nextwave.org.au <http://www.nextwave.org.au> . Participating artists
need to be under 30 but I am also very interested to hook up with
individuals, groups, organisations and institutions of any age who might
know where to find such people. We will have some money to fund (or at least
help fund) the costs of bringing them and/or their work here but we are
restricted to artists whose work travels relatively cheaply (i.e.
individuals or small groups without huge sets) or larger groups where their
home country or third party funding sources may be able to help us with some
of the costs.

If you are involved in an organisation in Australia, perhaps there is
someone out there that you are interested in collaborating with and i would
encourage you to talk to us about it.

Please, if you have any suggestions, contacts, tip offs, ideas or whatever
please give me a call on 03 9662 1099 or email me here at
marcus@nextwave.org.au. Please get in touch with me if you even have half an
idea. Please forward this on to others who may be able to help -
particularly people in other Commonwealth countries. I would prefer it if
you didn't republish this to web sites or mailing lists at this stage - if
there is somewhere you think we should be posting send me the link to it!

thanks,

Marcus Westbury,
Artistic Director,
Next Wave Festival, 2006.
