For the closure of the Borderline Moving Images event, Platform China Contemporary Art Institute invites the Bloody Sunday crew to curate another exciting Bloody Sunday Celebration.
November 29th 2006 was the birth of the Bloody Sunday concept, an alternative to the after party hard work wee ken d comedown and winter long john gloominess.
Tired of watching DVDs and having no shelter to chill on Sundays, the good witches of *L'Una'Otra* accompanied by Wizard-Designer Red Seas have decided to utterly re-customize their usual party turf Yugongyishan Club, and turn it into a micro cosmic world inspired by their living room and the rest of the Universe… Bloody Sunday proposes a new theme for each edition and therefore re-invents itself as an event on every session: like in the art of cooking with leftovers, we try to use what we already have (the venue) and add some taste-full inputs of DYI design, an eclectic artistic line up, provide funny activities to our public ranging from hair dressing to fortune telling or swinging as well as some yummy food and cakes to enhance the feeling of tea time and friendly gathering. The idea is also to provide a platform for selected artists in music and video to show their works and exchange this with an eclectic crowd in a laid back environment, just somewhere in between an art space and a club. Another constant feature in our Bloody Sunday party is the flea market which has every time new curiosities to discover ranging from vintage cloths and toys to special Bloody Sunday produced cds , designed jewelry , bags and many more…
ActS
1) Quio ( Berlin / Ger).
Was that Chio Or Cujo Or something like Cee-U NO! Its Q-U-I-O! like Oooh! Quio, a Berlin based MC, singer, performer that wants to be misunderstood and ta ken unseriously.
www.myspace.com/quio
Quio, started MCing in 1997 as MC LOONEY TUNES. She performed with Drum' n Bass and HipHop DJs in Berlin Germany and throughout Europe . In 1998 she met DJ G-SERVE from AUDIOTAXI in WTF together with DJ CHRISTINE LANG. They organized parties named ON BASS TRACKS.
Until today QUIO is part of a radio show on Berlin 's former Pirate Radio Station TWEN FM, named Underground Essentials. In 1999 Quio met AGF when they both performed in a club. Various collaborations followed. In 2003 they started QUIO. 2004 they released the first 12" on AGF Producktion and here is the full length album of the Quio. AGF and Quio have put together their different musical heritage, to come up with some uniquely new combinations, e.g. they mixed Drum&Bass MC lyrics with piano and strings into a melancholy anthem, and hiphop lyrics with experimental beats and a blues guitar. The album was created during the last 2 years while QUIO was being operated by 2 children aged 1 12 and 3.
She likes to explore what is misunderstood and break up what supposedly makes sense. In misunderstandings she sees both the chance to have performer and listener create something new, and to put into question the perception of understanding something the wrong or right way. Quio is against seriousness when it is used as a tool of dominance, in the way that seriousness gives weight, means truth, means realness. Never wanting to impose meaning. She writes against preconceptions and boxing people in, especially women into premade schemes. Quio is a fan of the moment of surprise. She will break unbearable content into amusing snippets of new sense - or break up nonsense and stitch together a new unquestionable world of seriousness with its own set of clichees and idiotic rolemodels. Her backround as MC to all sorts of bro ken beats like a like DrumnBass , UK Garage, HipHop, Grime etc. has given her the ability to (secretly) keep her lyrics so unreal. In her music she moves from club to pop to toon and likes to oscillate between hiphop, bubblegum and experimental grooves.
2) MINI MOVIE MOVEMENT [90 min].
www.minimoviemovement.com
Sue Costabile (US) and AGF (Antye Greie, GER) are challenging the conventional ways to use the dvd format with their MiniMovies dvd.
The liberation of the still image. A break away of recorded music.
A collection of mini-lives in an urban and political context.
Memories were traditionally captured as singular moments of time, but the availability of miniature movie- maki ng machines now animates our memories on the screen.
AGF and SUE.C slip their own observations of life and audio-visual memories into the pre-established user interface and industry distribution network.
Everybody is a disaster. Let's make our own movies.
Crafted from thousands of photographs manipulated into and out of pixels. Hand-drawn, self-tattered, layered in light, space and time. A patchwork mystery of everyday life in the shadows of capitalism, communalism and the fre edom of observation. Executed with a tailor-made computer animation system. Includes a collection of shorts, alternate soundtracks, subtitles, an interview and maki ng of. Filmed in New York , Long Island , Berlin , London , San Francisco and elsewhere, it is a travel diary at once familiar and strange but overall it is a tribute to connections, both human and inanimate.
3) Robin Rimbaud aka Scanner
Live Audio/Visual Performance, electronic music and digital interactive images. British artist Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner)
traverses the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways . From his early controversial work using found mobile phone conversations, through to
his focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge , his restless explorations of the experimental terrain have won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen.
Scanner is committed to working with cutting edge practitioners and has collaborated with artists from every imaginable genre: musicians Bryan Ferry, Radiohead and Laurie Anderson, The Royal Ballet and Merce Cunningham and Random Dance companies, composers Michael Nyman and Luc Ferrari, and artists Mike Kelley, Derek Jarman, Carsten Nicolai and Douglas Gordon.
Since 1991 he has been intensely active in sound art, producing concerts, compositions, installations and recordings, the albums
Mass Observation (1994),
Delivery (1997), and
The Garden is Full of Metal (1998) hailed by critics as innovative and inspirational works of contemporary electronic music. In 2004 his
Sound Surface work with Stephen Vitiello was the first ever Tate Modern sound-art commission and he is currently producing Night Haunts for Artangel for 2006-2007, whilst sound-designing a new car horn for the USA .
He has performed and created works in many of the world's most prestigious spaces including SFMOMA USA , Hayward Gallery London, Pompidou Centre Paris, Kunsthalle Vienna, Bolshoi Theatre Moscow, Tate Modern London and The Royal Opera House London.
His work has been presented throughout the United States , Asia, Australia and Europe .
With a unique and well renown style, the multilayered work of Robin Rimbaud are
closely connected with cities and our relationship to what we see and hear, flying over cities and landscapes to explore a movement through the urban sprawl and the imagination.
As he says “Indeed many of my performances and installations have explored ideas of memories of the city, the voice, the environment, the borders through which we cross culturally, creatively and intellectually”.
For contemporary audiovisual artists however, the possibilities of exploring this phenomenon have expanded with the advent of recent technologies and software that translate all electronic media, whether sounds or moving images, into the zeros and ones of computer code, easily manipulated, manufactured, copied, translated and transformed.
It is in this field of exploration that Scanner has found a place to experiment, choosing to loosely reflect and invoke a blurring of the senses and celebrate the inherently ephemeral nature of these connections.
The meaning and presence of these crossed lines of communication are always in flux; they represent a fleeting perceptual moment; a snapshot of what is possible within the context and hence the value of live performance.
These projects encourages the viewer to reflect on the process of experiencing art in a multi-dimensional, multi-sensory way. Scanner's work charts a
narrative of seductive conversation , musical fragments and city soundscapes, archival recordings, folded around a pulse. |
