The Art of Rent
Spring 2008 University of London, Queen Mary
http://www.generation-online.org/other/artofrent.htm
As part of an ongoing collective project, the organisers of this seminar series seek to promote a discussion on the rise of rent as a form of capitalist appropriation and the way that new levels of association in the arts and culture, in information and communication, in public taste and ambience have made this rise possible, and from the perspective of private accumulation, necessary. To this end, the seminar brings together various perspectives on the Art of Rent taking in analysis of cognitive capitalism, of the financialisation of the quotidian and the bodily, of gentrification and the metroversity, of new international division of labour and of governance. The seminar will conclude with a special two-day event in September on the cultural industries.
Start: 11:00 am

"What do you want?" features five female artists who are living in India, working amongst a new generation of artists with political/activist concepts. Challenging popular cultural opinion, contemporary political issues and controversial social situations, the artists use photography, performance, objects, video and new media to analyse problems faced by indian women and those living within traditional family structures.
Programmed as part of the Asia Triennal Manchester 2008, the first ever UK Asian Art Triennal.
Start: 3:07 pm
Mute will be at the 2008 Great Lakes Anarchist Gathering in Toledo, Ohio! Come out and chat with like-minded individuals from the midwest, see whats new with Mute, and flip through some mags and books. More details will be posted closer to the date.
2008 Great Lakes Anarchist Gathering
June 6,7, and 8th in Toledo, Ohio.
This is going to be an important event due to its proximity, both geographically and chronologically, to the Republican National Convention in September. With the GLAG taking place in June and the RNC in September, it will provide three month window for those in attendance to take advantage of the skills learned and share any plans made with those unable to attend. We'll be building on the progress made over the last year and a half in bringing the Midwest/Great Lakes region anarchist communities together and strengthening the Midwest Action Network. It will also be a good chance to make solidify MAN's plans for the upcoming RNC.

5th berlin biennial for contemporary art
05.04. – 15.06.2008
When things cast no shadow
When things cast no shadow, the 5th berlin biennial for contemporary art, curated by Adam Szymczyk and
Elena Filipovic, brings together artists from different generations and nationalities in an exhibition by day
and night that aims to trace the diversity of art practices today.
Eschewing a singular theme, form, or temporality, and determined instead by a critical engagement with
artists’ processes, When things cast no shadow could be said to take the form of an open structure in five
movements without a plot.
The day part of the 5th berlin biennial will be on view at four distinct venues and include mostly newly
commissioned works by 50 artists, while the night part of the show will feature still more artists and cultural
producers in 63 nightly events taking place in locations spread across the once-divided city.
The exhibition spaces of KW Institute for Contemporary Art, founded in 1991 in Berlin-Mitte will hold,
among other projects, films by Babette Mangolte, Michel Auder, and Patricia Esquivias as well as an
intervention by Ahmet Öğüt that comments on state power and its means of control. The attic will be
turned into a studio/installation activated by Tris Vonna-Michell’s storytelling.
The iconic glass hall of Mies van der Rohe’s ultra-modernist Neue Nationalgalerie in former West Berlin
has inspired various responses from artists. Among them, a film installation by Susanne M. Winterling
explores the water condensation that flaws van der Rohe’s masterpiece, while Gabriel Kuri builds up a
participatory sculpture that reorganizes one of the building’s regular service operations. Cyprien Gaillard
brings an unpretentious public sculpture from a housing project in Paris to the terrace of the museum thus
positioning a symbol for one failed social-architectural ideal on the grounds representing an opposed,
triumphant architectural ideal.
The outdoor exhibition site of the Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum, in the area formerly adjoining the Berlin
Wall, presents, among other works, a new community-based project by Kateřina Šedá, who goes over the
fences that separate neighbors in her home village of Líšeň in the Czech Republic. Lars Laumann screens
a film about a woman who married the Berlin Wall, while Ania Molska installs a sculpture used as a prop in
her new film.
The first of five alternating, artist-curated solo shows at the Schinkel Pavillon will feature works of Paris-
based Swiss-born designer Janette Laverrière, presented by Nairy Baghramian. It will open on March 20,
2008, preceding the official opening of the 5th berlin biennial on April 5 and upsetting the demand for a
single, spectacular biennial beginning.
The night part of the biennial, entitled Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours (My nights are more
beautiful than your days), comprises 63 nocturnal acts involving artists and other thinkers and takes place
throughout the city. Neuro-scientist Olaf Blanke demonstrates an out-of-body experiment, at the
encouragement of artist Melvin Moti. The curatorial collective WHW holds a lecture on Modernism in the
former Yugoslavia, and Augusto Boal, founder of the Theater of the Oppressed and this year’s Nobel
Peace Prize candidate, runs a workshop according to his context-sensitive teaching method. Cameron
Jamie screens his recent film JO at the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz with a live score by
Japanese noise artist Keiji Haino, and more, night after night.
A comprehensive publication has been conceived as an interpretative tool in parallel with the 5th berlin
biennial. It includes a visual and textual anthology of source material submitted by participating artists.
The visitors guided tours program Secret Service offers diverse formats of made-to-measure exhibition
tours that enable the visitors to investigate the biennial from different angles. Further information and
booking at www.berlinbiennale.de.

The Art of Rent
Spring 2008 University of London, Queen Mary
http://www.generation-online.org/other/artofrent.htm
As part of an ongoing collective project, the organisers of this seminar series seek to promote a discussion on the rise of rent as a form of capitalist appropriation and the way that new levels of association in the arts and culture, in information and communication, in public taste and ambience have made this rise possible, and from the perspective of private accumulation, necessary. To this end, the seminar brings together various perspectives on the Art of Rent taking in analysis of cognitive capitalism, of the financialisation of the quotidian and the bodily, of gentrification and the metroversity, of new international division of labour and of governance. The seminar will conclude with a special two-day event in September on the cultural industries.

When things cast no shadow
When things cast no shadow, the 5th berlin biennial for contemporary art, curated by Adam Szymczyk and
Elena Filipovic, brings together artists from different generations and nationalities in an exhibition by day
and night that aims to trace the diversity of art practices today.
Eschewing a singular theme, form, or temporality, and determined instead by a critical engagement with
artists’ processes, When things cast no shadow could be said to take the form of an open structure in five
movements without a plot.
The day part of the 5th berlin biennial will be on view at four distinct venues and include mostly newly
commissioned works by 50 artists, while the night part of the show will feature still more artists and cultural
producers in 63 nightly events taking place in locations spread across the once-divided city.
The exhibition spaces of KW Institute for Contemporary Art, founded in 1991 in Berlin-Mitte will hold,
among other projects, films by Babette Mangolte, Michel Auder, and Patricia Esquivias as well as an
intervention by Ahmet Öğüt that comments on state power and its means of control. The attic will be
turned into a studio/installation activated by Tris Vonna-Michell’s storytelling.
The iconic glass hall of Mies van der Rohe’s ultra-modernist Neue Nationalgalerie in former West Berlin
has inspired various responses from artists. Among them, a film installation by Susanne M. Winterling
explores the water condensation that flaws van der Rohe’s masterpiece, while Gabriel Kuri builds up a
participatory sculpture that reorganizes one of the building’s regular service operations. Cyprien Gaillard
brings an unpretentious public sculpture from a housing project in Paris to the terrace of the museum thus
positioning a symbol for one failed social-architectural ideal on the grounds representing an opposed,
triumphant architectural ideal.
The outdoor exhibition site of the Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum, in the area formerly adjoining the Berlin
Wall, presents, among other works, a new community-based project by Kateřina Šedá, who goes over the
fences that separate neighbors in her home village of Líšeň in the Czech Republic. Lars Laumann screens
a film about a woman who married the Berlin Wall, while Ania Molska installs a sculpture used as a prop in
her new film.
The first of five alternating, artist-curated solo shows at the Schinkel Pavillon will feature works of Paris-
based Swiss-born designer Janette Laverrière, presented by Nairy Baghramian. It will open on March 20,
2008, preceding the official opening of the 5th berlin biennial on April 5 and upsetting the demand for a
single, spectacular biennial beginning.
The night part of the biennial, entitled Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours (My nights are more
beautiful than your days), comprises 63 nocturnal acts involving artists and other thinkers and takes place
throughout the city. Neuro-scientist Olaf Blanke demonstrates an out-of-body experiment, at the
encouragement of artist Melvin Moti. The curatorial collective WHW holds a lecture on Modernism in the
former Yugoslavia, and Augusto Boal, founder of the Theater of the Oppressed and this year’s Nobel
Peace Prize candidate, runs a workshop according to his context-sensitive teaching method. Cameron
Jamie screens his recent film JO at the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz with a live score by
Japanese noise artist Keiji Haino, and more, night after night.
A comprehensive publication has been conceived as an interpretative tool in parallel with the 5th berlin
biennial. It includes a visual and textual anthology of source material submitted by participating artists.
The visitors guided tours program Secret Service offers diverse formats of made-to-measure exhibition
tours that enable the visitors to investigate the biennial from different angles. Further information and

'Lavorare con Lentezza' (2004), dir. Guido Chiesa, scriptwriters Guido Chiesa and Wu Ming (duration 111 min), is a retrospective account of Radio Alice, a renowned – and short-lived – free radio station set up during the Autonomia movement in 1970s Italy. Approaching the film according to their respective interests and expertise, the speakers will notably analyse the scriptwriters’ choices as far as the representation of the ideals and of the protagonists behind Radio Alice is concerned. They will also discuss the legacy of Radio Alice in relation to today’s tactical media and socially-engaged practices.

When things cast no shadow
When things cast no shadow, the 5th berlin biennial for contemporary art, curated by Adam Szymczyk and
Elena Filipovic, brings together artists from different generations and nationalities in an exhibition by day
and night that aims to trace the diversity of art practices today.
Eschewing a singular theme, form, or temporality, and determined instead by a critical engagement with
artists’ processes, When things cast no shadow could be said to take the form of an open structure in five
movements without a plot.
The day part of the 5th berlin biennial will be on view at four distinct venues and include mostly newly
commissioned works by 50 artists, while the night part of the show will feature still more artists and cultural
producers in 63 nightly events taking place in locations spread across the once-divided city.
The exhibition spaces of KW Institute for Contemporary Art, founded in 1991 in Berlin-Mitte will hold,
among other projects, films by Babette Mangolte, Michel Auder, and Patricia Esquivias as well as an
intervention by Ahmet Öğüt that comments on state power and its means of control. The attic will be
turned into a studio/installation activated by Tris Vonna-Michell’s storytelling.
The iconic glass hall of Mies van der Rohe’s ultra-modernist Neue Nationalgalerie in former West Berlin
has inspired various responses from artists. Among them, a film installation by Susanne M. Winterling
explores the water condensation that flaws van der Rohe’s masterpiece, while Gabriel Kuri builds up a
participatory sculpture that reorganizes one of the building’s regular service operations. Cyprien Gaillard
brings an unpretentious public sculpture from a housing project in Paris to the terrace of the museum thus
positioning a symbol for one failed social-architectural ideal on the grounds representing an opposed,
triumphant architectural ideal.
The outdoor exhibition site of the Skulpturenpark Berlin_Zentrum, in the area formerly adjoining the Berlin
Wall, presents, among other works, a new community-based project by Kateřina Šedá, who goes over the
fences that separate neighbors in her home village of Líšeň in the Czech Republic. Lars Laumann screens
a film about a woman who married the Berlin Wall, while Ania Molska installs a sculpture used as a prop in
her new film.
The first of five alternating, artist-curated solo shows at the Schinkel Pavillon will feature works of Paris-
based Swiss-born designer Janette Laverrière, presented by Nairy Baghramian. It will open on March 20,
2008, preceding the official opening of the 5th berlin biennial on April 5 and upsetting the demand for a
single, spectacular biennial beginning.
The night part of the biennial, entitled Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours (My nights are more
beautiful than your days), comprises 63 nocturnal acts involving artists and other thinkers and takes place
throughout the city. Neuro-scientist Olaf Blanke demonstrates an out-of-body experiment, at the
encouragement of artist Melvin Moti. The curatorial collective WHW holds a lecture on Modernism in the
former Yugoslavia, and Augusto Boal, founder of the Theater of the Oppressed and this year’s Nobel
Peace Prize candidate, runs a workshop according to his context-sensitive teaching method. Cameron
Jamie screens his recent film JO at the Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz with a live score by
Japanese noise artist Keiji Haino, and more, night after night.

Encompassing painting, drawing, computer animation, and sculpture, Craig Mulholland's show at Spike Island presents three new bodies of work. In "Paths of Resistance", "Resistance Rising" and "Peer to Peer" Mulholland refers back to the epic human struggles depicted in the historical painting of the French Salon. His contemporary updates depicts a mythical landscape in which works of art battle against each other as the task of the Surveillance Operator is staged against a Futurist Opera.

The Art of Rent
Spring 2008 University of London, Queen Mary
http://www.generation-online.org/other/artofrent.htm
As part of an ongoing collective project, the organisers of this seminar series seek to promote a discussion on the rise of rent as a form of capitalist appropriation and the way that new levels of association in the arts and culture, in information and communication, in public taste and ambience have made this rise possible, and from the perspective of private accumulation, necessary. To this end, the seminar brings together various perspectives on the Art of Rent taking in analysis of cognitive capitalism, of the financialisation of the quotidian and the bodily, of gentrification and the metroversity, of new international division of labour and of governance. The seminar will conclude with a special two-day event in September on the cultural industries.

Challenging popular cultural opinion, contemporary political issues and controversial social situations, the artists use photography, performance, objects, video and new media to analyse problems faced by indian women and those living within traditional family structures.
Programmed as part of the Asia Triennal Manchester 2008, the first ever UK Asian Art Triennal. </ | |
