NEWSLETTER 1 2010 1___OPEN CALL // residency programme @ Sparwasser HQ //// public sphere and rhetoric Sparwasser HQ starts year 2010 by defining other public 'spheres' to inhabit. We do this with the help of the respondents to our 'open call'-invited residents (2) and text writers (10)-who describe actions considering the public sphere (offentlighed) and the use or misuse of rhetoric, free speech and convention. Sparwasser HQ wished to set the parameters and learn from the incoming proposals. After having read all the applications some general considerations
can be made:
As a consequence we chose two artists for residencies,
whose work deals with the ultimate exchange between artist and
audience in the making, but which are realized more as an example
of an exchange or intervention, than an 'art event'. Berlin, open your windows! While in Berlin Anthony Marcellini will create an auditory
public sphere using temporary platforms for a series of public
declarations. Written by him and performed by an opera singer
from the open windows of several apartment buildings throughout
Berlin, these libretto declarations shall reflect the history,
the dreams, the tribulations and the triumphs of each neighborhood.
Sparwasser HQ is expecting something between The Marriage
of Figaro, Hyde Park Corner and Berlin Childhood around
1900. Exploitation On Demand The curator Laansoo answers Sparwasser HQ's call with another
open call to Nordic/Baltic artists. She wishes to create a manual
of exploitive situations that are planned to take place in Berlin.
She needs authors and volunteers. Read below and please respond!
A number of selected situations will actually be performed. In order to broaden our actions into the 'global sphere', we made an international call for texts. 10 text writers were approached and are invited. A Rhetorical Revolution: 1968 in Germany & France Why Openness Matters: the Deptford.TV project No more words, no other thoughts. About the rituals of
speaking. Speaking in Open Space Kanslibyrån Lódê's tanement "Rainbow Paradise" Reconstruction and Pathos-the Slipping of the Symbolic
Tongue Anastasios Logothetis (Stockholm, Sweden) Radhildur Iingadottir (Seydisfjordur, Iceland) Joakim Forsgren (Hägersten, Sweden) Geirthrudur Finnbogadottir Hjovar (Reykjavik, Iceland) 2 OPEN CALL EXPLOITATION ON DEMAND Within the frame of the open call public sphere and rhetoric Karin Laansoo is sending out her open call as one part of her curatorial residency project. You are warmly welcome to contribute and engage.
New York based estonian curator Karin Laansoo is looking for intervention-like performances that will create mildly exploitive situations in public spaces. Exploitation On Demand is a series of public performances carried out by local volunteers in Berlin according to authors' instructions. Whether psychological, social or economic, exploitation by definition involves a persistent relationship in which certain persons are being mistreated or unfairly used for the benefit of others. A transaction is exploitative only if it is unfair, meaning that the goods or services exchanged are not of equivalent value. By providing a set context to act on and by giving the 'permission' to exploit, we will enter the territory of exchange rates for goods, time, services or physical bodies. Whether involving harmful or mutually advantageous, consensual or nonconsensual relations, the performances will make asymmetrical connections visible, but they could also create conflicting situations. The project dips into a personal economy of exchange rates as well as asks questions about the exploitive nature of art. All descriptions as well as documentation of selected performances will be compiled into a Training Manual for Public Exploitation. + Project is open to all international applicants. + The performances must take place in the city of Berlin, March 1-14, 2010. + Selected performances will be carried out by local volunteers in Berlin according to authors' instructions. + The descriptions have to provide a title as well as specific instructions for the exact location of the performance, duration and the preferred local participants. To apply please e-mail karin.laansoo@gmail.com the following info on or before Saturday, February 20, 2010: ____Name
All submissions should be e-mailed to karin.laansoo@gmail.com with subject line OPEN CALL. This residency project is supported by Sparwasser HQ and netres.
