Up and coming events at De Geuzen:
Friday 10 December 19:00
.....................................................
THE MEDIATED IMAGE: SUBTLE ACTS OF RESISTANCE
THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF EVERYDAY LIFE
-----------------------------------------------------
A dinner devoted to the work of Michel de Certeau /
.....................................................
As a part of the continuing series, THE MEDIATED IMAGE, De Geuzen
will be hosting a three course dinner devoted to the work of Michel de
Certeau. During the meal, there will be related presentations and visual
interventions by Rob van Kranenburg and Mike Tyler.
In terms of cultural studies, Michel de Certeau has been an important
figure in shifting modes of analysis away from the study of media as object
or textual surface towards the research of how people use, interpret and
reinvent media for their own purposes. As an ethnologist and historian, de
Certeau refused to remain faithful to any singular specialised discipline.
The theoretical framework from which he operated was impressively broad,
traversing the lines between anthropology, sociology, philosophy, history,
mysticism and literature. He radically questioned his own position within
discursive practices by problematising the inevitable power relation that
arises in studying a subject while simultaneously laying bare the numerous
limitations of representation. Beyond the more self-reflexive aspects of
his project, he examined how the weak attain power through subtle tactics
of manipulation and play. According to de Certeau, suppressed voices emerge
through the employment of guises, appropriation of media and creation of
interruptions. As he points out with acuity in his book, THE PRACTICE OF
EVERYDAY LIFE (1974) "Everyday life invents itself by poaching in countless
ways on the property of others".
-----------------------------------------------------
MIKE TYLER (Ventura, California, 1964) Artist/garden designer/film maker
currently based in Amsterdam. His work has appeared in numerous exhibitions
and festivals including: Kunsthalle Bern, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and
Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.
ROB VAN KRANENBURG (1964) Worked and taught at Tilburg University as a
research assistant after his studies in Language and Literature. Currently,
he is working in Ghent developing and designing idiosyncratic and
explorative online learning environments in the culture curriculum. As a
writer he is part of the artscollective Alarrb.

------------------------------------------------------
THE MEDIATED IMAGE is an ongoing series of lectures and presentations
looking at how images are constructed, interpreted, manipulated and
received. Besides examining how images are made and displayed, the series
explores key figures who have shaped contemporary media discourse, such as
Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard, Marshall McLuhan and Michel de Certeau.
------------------------------------------------------
This event has been developed in relation to a working seminar, PUBLIC
POSSESSIONS AND PRIVATE OBSESSIONS, which will be part of the Postgraduate
Programme in Fine Art, Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam (February,
2000).
------------------------------------------------------
Please reserve and specify whether your meal needs to be vegetarian.
Presentation and discussion are in English. Upon arriving guests will be
given a menu for the course events. Entrance fee: fl.17,50, including
dinner and one drink. PUBLIC POSSESSIONS AND PRIVATE OBSESSIONS,the reader,
will be available for fl.15,-.

(EN)COUNTERING THE CULTURE OF THE NORM
-----------------------------------------------------
A seminar addressing autism as a culture
With / met: MARTIJN DEKKER, GUNILLIA GERLAND and INE GEVERS
.....................................................
(EN)COUNTERING THE CULTURE OF THE NORM is a day long seminar
hosted by De Geuzen and Ine Gevers. The event focuses on autism, a
diagnostic term used in reference to people who are neurologically
different and whose language and/or social behaviour deviates from the
so-called norm. However, unlike the diagnostic point of view which operates
from a distance, this seminar aims at opening up perspectives generated
from within the culture of autism. Ine Gevers has invited both Martijn
Dekker and Gunilla Gerland to speak about their experiences as autists and
their personal encounters with the norm. As Gunilla Gerland points out in
her book, A REAL PERSON: LIFE ON THE OUTSIDE, coping with normative codes
of conduct is not always so easy .She writes: "Deep down inside of me, I
sometimes get so tired - you have such complicated rules in your world!".
This working seminar is about exposing the differences between these
"worlds" while taking into account possible modes of relation and
translation. Gevers future ambition is to establish a centre or foundation
where the position of autism is de-marginalised and seen as an integral
culture. The goal of this meeting is to gather information, personal
perspectives and networks of support for such a place to exist.
-----------------------------------------------------
GUNILLIA GERLAND (1963) was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome/high
functioning autism as an adult. She has written three books on the subject.
The first one, A REAL PERSON: LIFE ON THE OUTSIDE, is autobiographic and
has been translated into several languages. Through both lecuturing and
writing she is very active in informing others about autism spectrum
disorders. At the moment she's working on a book with the preliminary
title, Autism: Relationships and sexuality.
MARTIJN DEKKER (1974) Was diagnosed in 1996 with high-functioning autism,
after dropping out of university. Since July 1996, he has created his own
website and hosted a world-wide e-mail support group for adults on the
autistic spectrum. The site remains up to date with current links and
discussions. He has spoken at conferences on autism in both the Netherlands
and internationally.

INE GEVERS (1960) Curator and writer living and working in the Netherlands.
She has organised symposia such as, Cultural Identity: Fiction or Necessity
and Place, Position, Presentation, Public (Maastricht,1992) She has
co-curated with Jeanne van Heeswijk the exhibition, I + The Other: Art and
the Human Condition (Amsterdam 1994) and co-edited the publication, Beyond
Ethics & Aesthetics (SUN, 1996). Currently, she is working on projects
related to the development of a centre that engages with, among other
issues, the de-marginalisation and representation of the culture of autism.
One of these preparatory projects is her website.

TEMPORARY SANITY: AN ALTERNATIVE PLEA
WHEN CONSIDERING MADNESS AND MOTIVE
-----------------------------------------------------
Video screening curated by Stichting De Geuzen in
collaboration with Ine Gevers
-----------------------------------------------------
featuring a.o.: Kristin Lucas: HOST
(VHS, 7 min., 1997) - Laurie Anderson: AT THE SHRINK'S
(A FAKE HOLOGRAM) (VHS, 2 min., 1977) - Anne C. Robinson:
A BREAKDOWN (AND) AFTER THE MENTAL HOSPITAL
(Super 8, 26 min., 1991)
.....................................................
The selected works in this video screening test the limits of
rationalised codes and systems through moments of insanity, implausibility
and play. Ultimately, they leave the question lingering: Who is actually
sane in the culture we call the norm?
HOST, by Kristin Lucas, depicts a young woman seeking intimacy in a life
mediated by machines. Systems just don't compute as the main character
reveals her problems to an automatic cash machine which isn't willing to
reciprocate. Laurie Anderson, in her 1977 classic work, AT THE SHRINK'S
(A FAKE HOLOGRAM) tells a short tale of irreconcilable perceptual
differences. After a brief conversation about a lipstick-stained mirror,
Anderson comes to the conclusion that she and her psychiatrist will never
be able to see things from the same perspective. And finally, Ann Robinson
obsessively documents her mental decline in a five year visual diary, A
BREAKDOWN (AND) AFTER THE MENTAL HOSPITAL. Banalities take on unknown
significance as her daily rituals of bingeing and drinking are scrupulously
archived for her future fantasy lover, Dr. Who.
Throughout these videos divergent logics clash and systems collide in a
simultaneously sobering and humorous fashion. By the end of this mental and
visual adventure, it is clear that there might not only be method in
madness but inspired relief as well.

Balkan Sunflowers Update 18
**
(our update will now appear weekly, or thereabouts, and not too long in
length...)
**
Kosovo/a Crisis
Yes, we all know that this incarnation of BSf started up in response to the
Kosovo/a crisis, but now we have our own little BSF Kosovo/a crisis to report
....
The worst thing about the bad news is that it comes at a time when the
activities of BSF in Kosovo/a are at a high. For example, Children's World, a
british circus skills group, toured kosovo/a in partnership with BSF - giving
workshops to children and performing shows as well. And the people of Peje and
Gjakova can now go to the cinema once a week, thanks to a film project in which
BSF played an active part. Pristina saw 26 primary and secondary schools being
cleaned up of litter and rubble. This was certainly not the first BSF-assisted
project which linked a practical action with a wider theme of environmental
awareness, and which also involved art and writing. Our partners in these
projects include the british KFOR, IRC and UNICEF. In Gjakova the BSF
volunteers are once again showing that youth and childrens' activities lead on
to wider benefits, in a transit camp that until now has seen no other NGO visit
on a regular basis, and where the BSf volutneers are now helping liaise between
residents and management. And so on .....
So what's the crisis?
Theft.
BSF Kosovo/a has been hit by three major thefts recently, in which we have lost
almost all the equipment we use for the central co-ordination in Kosova.
All these above activities depend upon a strong logistical support from this
central co-ordination. Our country co-ordinator would regularly visit the
volunteer houses, since there is no phone system between the towns. The
volunteers who arrive are met at the Pristina base and oriented, and then
driven out to the other bases. The funding applications need to be drawn up ....
And now we have lost:
our car
our bright yellow minibus
our two mobile phones
our computer
our printer
plus
a computer donated for a collective centre computer classes
personal belongings of two volunteers - portable cassette-radio and video camera
(both being used anyway for BSF activities)
***Other News
The Diaries of Wam Kat are now again appearing, after a one-month pause. Our
website contains the latest from Tirana and now Skopje ...

<italic>Reader/Everything Seems to Be Alright
</italic> Through November 27: Tuesdays-Saturdays, 2-6 pm
@ The Kitchen
512 West 19th Street (between 10th & 11th Avenues)
212-255-5793

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. THREE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR VIEWING THIS WORK
Thundergulch @ Rockefeller Center
Extended through the month of November
"Arts Interlude" Video Wall Program
@ 1251 Avenue of the Americas
Mondays and Wednesdays: 12 - 2 pm
(between 49th-50th Streets, east Concourse)
Thundergulch was approached by Ark Restaurants Corporation (owners of
Lutece, the Bryant Park Grill, and scores of other first-class
establishments nationwide) to curate a program of artists' videos and
animations for a new restaurant called
Z-DIM that will open in Southfield, Michigan later this fall.
(www.arkrestaurants.com) In order to celebrate this arts/business
partnership and to showcase some of the artists' work in the New York
area, Thundergulch has selected a sampling of the full program to
showcase as a "sneak preview" to the opening of the restaurant.
The following is a list of the videos/animations included in the
presentation:
Kenn Beckman/Blue Gene Tyranny
<italic>The Song of the Street of the Singing Chicken</italic> 1981 5:17
A lively mix of Beckman's video artistry and original "chickenesque"
music by Tyranny, referred to as "a comedy for eggheads." (distributed by
the Kitchen)
Skip Blumberg
<italic>Chinese Noodle Making:Backwards and Forwards</italic> 1989 4:00
In this playful cooking video, Chinese chef David Yang demonstrates the
ancient art of noodle-making. Beginning at the end of the story, Blumberg
first presents the process of noodle-making backwards -- a cleaver jumps
into the chef's hand; strands of noodles swing wildly in the air. When
the noodles finally revert back to a ball of dough, Blumberg switches
gears to show the process in forward motion, ending as he began -- with
the finished noodles. As the credits roll, artist Paul Wong's family eats
the final product.
<italic>Flying Morning Glory (on fire)</italic> 1985 4:00
Blumberg calls this video a "zany, hot performance cooking video," in
which he ignites the screen with the wildly unexpected, flaming "cuisine
art" performance of a virtuoso sidewalk chef in Phitsanulok, Thailand.
<italic>Get Wet: The Synchro Swim Scratch Video</italic>1988 5:00
This playful video focuses on a local synchronized swim team in
performance. The artist's use of underwater camera, slow motion and
close-ups gives the viewer an unusual perspective from which to watch the
amateurs' routines, while the subtle application of special effects
allows him to choreograph new moves for the swimmers.
Anney Bonney
<italic>Hypnosis Tape </italic> 1995 2:09
"not a Hypnosis of the mind...but a way to relax your body." Lesson one
from the Long Island school of seduction.
<italic>Moon Charms</italic> 1997 5:24
Rio Cine asked the artist to create a new work for them. She thought of
Rio's Jewel-like beauty, its hypnotic rhythms, and made Moon Charms as a
sound-as-image/ science-as-magic mandala. All the source imagery is
water, with undertow music mix by Ben Neill and DJ Spooky.
<italic>Pluto's Grace</italic> 1997 4:36
A non-narrative parable of New York's underworld (mythic and
sociological) with local time lapsing, visual inversions and cinematic
sampling from State of Grace.
Racquel Coelho
<italic>In a Box</italic> 1996 2:20
This stop-motion animation tells the abstract story of a puppet that
falls into an empty cardboard box followed by some interesting
objects...The puppet finds out the sound that can be produced by each
object, as he uses them to assemble his own exquisite percussion set.
This animation is conceived as a piece of "visual contemporary music,"
where the film is the score for the musical composition.
<italic>The Tapir</italic> 1996 3:54
This 3D computer animation features a myth from the Tupari Tribe in
Brazil, and explains the origin of the "Amazons" -- the mythical tribe of
warrior women that are supposedly living and hiding in the Amazon Forest.
Kristine Diekman
<italic>Go To Sleep You Little Horses</italic> 1992 1:50
This video explores the tradition in America of romanticizing the
American West in popular culture, iconography, and advertising. With
images of the American West and the sound of a lullaby, the tape uses
what is familiar to evoke a sense of recognition. The lonely cowboy hero
and the wild mustang are ironically paired with a well-known Appalachian
folk song -- <italic>All The Pretty Little Horses</italic> -- to elicit a
sense of longing and disappearance. Underscoring the lullaby, which is
sung in a clear acappella voice, is an ominous low rumble of other music
which turns out to be a commercial theme song. The black and white images
are nostalgic, reminiscent, and familiar, and in fact prove to be
appropriated from early Marlboro Man commercials. (distributed by the
Kitchen)
Richard Foreman
<italic>Top of the Pop</italic> 1986 3:30
This satirical music video, performed by Jessica Harper, looks at the
disposable pop culture phenomenon through disposable record executives,
performers, and purchasers. (distributed by the Kitchen)
Neil Goldberg
<italic>Hallelujah Anyway # 2</italic> 1996 2:00
A ballet of NYC merchants opening their shop gates as the day begins.
<italic>Hallelujah Anyway #3</italic> 1996 3:00
With a music box playing in the foreground of various Manhattan
locations, Goldberg introduces an element of lyricism into the normal
cacophony of New York City.
Eleanor Goldsmith
<italic>Sonic Drift</italic> 1998 1:00
Soundwaves create a landscape where random voices drift across an
oscillating plain.
Pat Hearn
<italic>Grace Jones</italic> 1980 3:54
This videotape features manipulated images of Grace Jones from her music
video, "Warm Leatherette." (distributed by the Kitchen)
Jeff Koone
<italic>Phi_Brite</italic> 1997 2:30
Shot completely off a Lite-Brite, colorful, abstract shapes move to a
funky drumbeat you can dance to.
Joan Logue
<italic>30 Second Spots</italic> 1982 8:00
Co-produced by The Kitchen, 30 Second Spots: TV Commercials for Artists
features brief portraits of the following artists: Maryanne Amacher,
Laurie Anderson, Robert Ashley, David Behrman, John Cage, Lucinda Childs,
Douglas Ewart, Simone Forti, Jon Gibson, Philip Glass, Spalding Gray,
Joan Jonas, Bill T. Jones & Arnie Zane, George Lewis, Alvin Lucier,
Meredith Monk, Max Neuhaus, Nam June Paik, Charlemagne Palestine, Liz
Phillips, Tony Ramos, Steve Reich, Charles Santos, Richard Teitelbaum,
Yoshi Wada.
<italic>Portraits on Dance</italic> 1998 7:00
Understanding the diverse cultures of NYC through traditional dance.
John Lurie
<italic>Big Heart</italic> 1986 6:09
A music video produced for the Lounge Lizards' album of the same title,
<italic>Big Heart </italic>was shot in Italy and the island of Sardinia.
Lurie chose the informal Super-8 format because he believed that it would
better capture the beauty of Sardinia and the personalities of his band
members. (distributed by the Kitchen)
Muriel Magenta
<italic>Token City</italic> 1997 4:00
The subway becomes the location for a 3D animation transforming the
everyday commute into an experience of images and sounds which merge
reality with the extraordinary. Viewers become an integral part of the
action and emotions of an unpredictable subway excursion via the
manipulation of 3D animation, computer graphics, real time video, and a
mixed soundtrack of electronic music and digital sound effects.
Laura Margulies
<italic>Hepa</italic> 1998 6:30
Using a combination of oil painted animation and black and white film
footage, "Hepa!" explores the world of Afro-Brazilian dance with a new
perspective. The rhythms of one charismatic drummer propel forward both
the dancers in the film and the film itself. Moving from the martial art
of Capoeira to festive samba dancing to the spiritual Orisha dances of
the Candomble religion and then to the high energy rhythms of African
dance as done in New York City's dance studios, "Hepa!" invites the
viewer into a compelling world of dance and music. Painted frame by
frame using oil paints on glass, "Hepa!"'s color and texture add a vital
dimension to the already dynamic dancing.
Anna Minkkinen
<italic>In Between</italic> 1998 2:30
A man catches a fleeting glance at a world hidden between the lines of a
bar-code. This simple, hand drawn animation is a visual exploration of
the codes and patterns of modern identity..
John Moynihan
<italic>Vampires</italic> 1993/98 1:38
A short exercise in modern urban horror that grafts the design elements
of Japanese anime onto a New York influenced hybrid. Employing multiple
exposures to create a film noir environment of stark shadows and bands of
light, the film considers the impact of "the undead" on a multi-cultural
feeding ground. Needless to say, it goes terribly, ghastly wrong.
The Residents
<italic>Act of Being Polite</italic> 1980 1:02
Illustrates the anxiety and the irony over the dating scene with the help
of animation.
<italic>Don't Be Cruel</italic> 1992 2:19
A new version of Elvis' classic.
<italic>This Is A Man's World</italic> 1992 3:28
A different version of the well-known James Brown tune.
(distributed by the Kitchen)
Zbigniew Rybczynski
<italic>The Day Before</italic> 1981 1:40
A farcical look at drinking in space, soviet style
<italic>The Discreet Charm of Diplomacy</italic> 1983 2:28
Portrays pompous diplomats feasting at a surrealistic banquet.

Artist Paul Sermon will create a whole house environment in Fabrica and a
smaller installation in Hastings Museum and Art Gallery. The Fabrica
installation will feature a bed, table, couch and bathroom and Hastings
will feature a couch. People can sit, lie or lounge within the home’ and
interact with the virtual presence of someone viewing the work in another
part of the gallery. The Brighton and Hastings galleries will use local
CCTV which will link the different space of each gallery - allowing
visitors to see on screen their own image superimposed on that of somebody
in the other part of the space. By communicating with the other space
through gesture and body movement, visitors can experience the complicated
psychological effect of existing outside of real space and time. The lines
between what is real and present and what is virtual become blurred as
people turn to speak to someone who is not and never was there.
There's No Simulation Like Home is the culmination of Paul Sermon's
previous projects which concern the semantics of living spaces.. Artist
Paul Sermon describes the ideas behind There's No Simulation Like Home:
"Telematic interaction for me is a means of sophisticated telecommunication
made technologically easier and psychologically more complex All the
technological amazement somehow seems irrelevant as users are primarily
concerned with the interaction of a virtual stranger on a bed surface and
not with the technology itself."
There's No Simulation Like Home is supported by:
South East Arts, The Arts Council National Lottery, The Foundation for
Sport and the Arts, Hastings Borough Council, East Sussex County Council,
