RIP Hedwig Westphal

RIP Hedwig Westphal who died being 90 in July in Hamburg. She supported the art installation Zimmer Der Zukunft by Jens Volkmann and Malte Steiner in 1986 / 1987, for instance in regards of the payout of the funding, because both were 15 / 16 years old back then and normally you have to be 18 to receive it.

Kino Kabarett 2006

At Kino Kabarett 2006, where you have 48hours time to conceive and finish a short movie, I made some soundtracks, like this one. Zabel and friends from Reunion came up with this thing and while they were filming, me and Volker Havlik, with whom I had the project Konform together, made the soundtrack. Working title was Gratte Les Couilles which was changed in the similar subtle name Wanker.
Regular listeners of my music will recognize some of my signature sounds, augmented with Volkers guitar works.

Things That Happened limited vinyl

Yesterday at my gig at Rote Flora I was given my copies of the compilation Things That Happened by Reduktive Musiken. Its a limited vinyl LP with live tracks by Wäldchengarten, Government Alpha, Praying For Oblivion, Audible Pain and Notstandskomitee VS TBC with me performing Pure Data patches and TBC Thomas processing them with FX and feedbacked mixer. He was objected to my suggestion of the vs in the name but I found it quite funny, more in the sense of Ultraman VS Kamen Rider, not really versus but collaberating.

Alan W. Moore in Hamburg

Alan W. Moore is in town and going to have 2 lectures. Tonight (28.7.) he speaks about the “House Magic” project at Frise Hamburg, 20:00.

Alan W. Moore, art historian and retired artist, speaks about the “House Magic” project. This “bureau of foreign correspondence” (himself) is a years-long project dedicated to explaining the movement of occupied social centers – besetzten Häusern mit politischen Richtung aka “Centro Sociale Occupato Autogestione” (CSOA) – to a U.S. audience. The first show was produced by the visual arts collective at ABC No Rio in NYC last year, and included “wallpaper,” stencils, banners, videos, books and dossiers from the internet. Later shows of this mobile archive were in Chicago and Philadelphia. Moore's research trip this summer has taken him to London, Madrid and now Hamburg. Auf Englisch mit some Deutschliches interpolation. With pictures.

Tomorrow 20:00 he speaks at Unlimited Liability (Norderstr. 71 ug) about "New York Art Gangs, post-'68"
--"Artists' groups do not make objects so much as they make changes"--

Beginning with the Arts Workers Coalition in 1969, NYC artists formed groups to advance their agendas and ideas. The arising of the Soho district, Gordon Matta-Clark, P.S. 1, Artists Meeting and Art & Language New York, Colab and punk art, Political Art Documentation group, and Group Material comprise a trajectory or lineage of politicized artistic practice. Today sees a resurgence of collective formations in the USA, and also a consideration of collective practice in itself. Alan Moore was a critic, video artist, and member of Colab, ABC No Rio, MWF Video Club, and hangs out with 16 Beaver Group. He is doctor (without medicine), and teaches when he can afford to. He is in Hamburg researching for "House Magic," an information project on European occupied social centers.
