Vincent Moon’s Live Cinéma – Fr.2/6/2023 Free Theatre Embros

Το “Live Cinéma” του Vincent Moon είναι μια παράσταση- και μια έρευνα προς νέες μορφές σύνδεσης της Τέχνης και της τελετουργίας όπου ο Γάλλος καλλιτέχνης αυτοσχεδιάζει ζωντανά πάνω στη σκηνή με επεξεργασμένες εικόνες, LIVE μουσική και ταινίες του που προβάλλονται σε κινηματογραφική οθόνη. Κάθε παράσταση είναι ένας μοναδικός συνδυασμός ταινιών και μουσικής, βασισμένος στις ηχογραφήσεις της δικής του συλλογής “Collection Petites Planètes”, εν μέρει σε συνεργασία με τη συγγραφέα και… …

When Futurism Led to Fascism—and Why It Could Happen Again

The Italian Futurists praised invention, modernity, speed, and disruption. Sound familiar? IN 1909, A poet named Filippo Marinetti was driving along in his brand new Fiat when he came across two cyclists in the road. Marinetti swerved to avoid hitting his fellow travelers, sending his car into a ditch and completely destroying the vehicle. Here’s how Marinetti described the encounter: The words were scarcely out of my mouth when I spun… …

Pop Stars, Sonic Weapons, Chaos: KLF attack against culture

Do you want to ‘Divide & Kreate’, ‘Kick Out The Clocks‘ or discover ‘K Time‘? These are the concepts Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty are promoting as part of their latest project, the K Foundation. In certain quarters, the adverts concocted by this organisation have been met with disbelief. Countless journalists seem convinced that Drummond and Cauty are simply throwing away the money they’ve earned from their pop hits on an expensive and pointless campaign.… …

Death will not become another spectacle – Georgia Sagri

Pandemic bla bla It is already some weeks of quarantine. When the isolation hits you, it’s painful. I want to feel that all those restrictions are in their beginning, I am trying to become a physical endurance expert but I epically fail. Day after day, I realise that no one is around to care and I’m trying to figure the limit of this state, to imagine how it will be… …

Trojan Horses- Activist art and power by Lucy Lippard- a historic essay positively revisited

Positively Trojan Horses Revisited  Lucy Lippard’s famous essay on activist art should need no introduction or art historical contextualization; what’s more, “Trojan Horses: Activist Art and Power”  published in the seminal 1984 anthology Art After Modernism, represents but one entry point into a truly impressive body of work dedicated to the politics of art and representation from the 1960s up to today. As such, the essay can be situated both in an… …

The 2007 reader Art and Social Change offers a genealogy of today’s radical cultures.

Russian Art Anarchists explain themselves from prison / Banksy’s new favourite group Voina (WAR)

Last week Banksy declared that all profits from his current print sale would be gifted to Russian art anarchist group Voina. Known for drawing an enormous cock on a bridge opposite the ex-KGB offices, and instigating asex party in a museum (see above). We spoke to the group (half of which were replying from prison).

Up Against the Wall Motherfucker!: A Memoir of Anarchism in the ’60s By Osha Neumann

They called themselves the Motherfuckers; others called them a “street gang with an analysis.” Osha Neumann’s thoughtful, funny, and honest account of his part in ’60s counterculture is also an unflinching look at what all that rebellion of the past means today. The fast moving story follows the establishment of the Motherfuckers, who influenced the Yippies and members of SDS; makes vivid the art, music, and politics of the era;… …
