last winter days

It's time for a new log.
Last monday there was Benjamin Altermatt at the DIYChurch with the Adolfo caleuche Video. A presentation of his tape collection, wich is somehow a sort of diary about friends, journeys and self-recorded/ manipulated footage. Along his tapes he tells little stories. He will be part of the Neolithikum Berlin exhibitions and this is somehow his audio contribution to the Neolithikum.   




....the exhibition at TÄT. All went pretty well. Though I was 2 hs too late for the opening by accident mh sorry for that. I promise I will never be late again. ;) it was very warm at the openings (70˚C) and I also really liked the performances.



here are some pictures and also some recordings of the performances, thanks to Nikolas, Harmony, Jonas, Thomas, Benjamin, Timo, TÄT, the Jan s, Ruben, Staalplaat, Anja, Iris, Andrew, Berglind, Ludwig, Christoph, Andreas and the neighbours.

Ah we also did a radioshow from TÄT with Kakawaka.

60th DIY CHURCH Valentinos Beat Case

60th years of Valentino´s Beat Case - DIY CHURCH live from Weimar´s Shalom Salon with Rap Ohne Lizenz 14.02.2011

Friends and lovers of poetism and joy

Beloved friends of D.I.Y Churchism, the weekly
radio doing a valve´n´tino sepcial.
We will have a extraordinary date with
Shalom Salon, live from Weimar.
Weimar is a famous serious place for
classic german brains and wurst, but in fact
it´s just a place for cool young people who
behave like an old poet.
Therefor a group of preposterous skilled
vision masters, called "Rap Ohne Lizenz",
are grabing the mic back.
They are lovely homebodys  of error
triggered grooves in consolidation with
high-level freestyle raps, they using
the mighty power of modern time networking
to pick up the finest tunes of HipHop and
electronic cadences from the world wide web.

The table of the gathering

privacy and open call

Its  again a more art post mh ? I´ m starting to wonder how much the blog cares about the radio show. maybe not at all :) 

o.k.

I´m going to make an exhibition at TÄT in the end of February.
The opening is supposed to be at the 26th of February at 7 pm. The show is called Chrome Wave Arena.

TÄT asked me to write a text about my show and some pictures.
I had no idea what to do and I have nothing to say. So I asked them to give me access to their webpage.  They let me!!! hi hihihi
And I decided to change as often as possible all the content of the page which announces that exhibition. Dairy style ... mash up ... plunderphonics

So if you are sitting in front of your computer, just clicking in the off & not knowing where to go next - you should click here (I´ m not sure how long that fun will last, I guess soon there will be more upcoming events at TÄT and than you have to search on their page for that particular exhibition bla bla bla ) and just enjoy the magic of pictures and found stuff.

or and that´s an open call. 

You are welcome to contribute. If you wanna do an one-day exhibition at the TÄT page just send me your pictures, audiofiles, videos, whatever, your name, important informations and a TXT, 

cause people like reading txts and if I like it - I put it there for one day. 

And as reward or in return I will write you a critic about your contribution.

I guess it is useful to come up with a sort of deadline. The exhibition ends on the 4th of March, so lets say you can send stuff till the 3rd of March. 

that should be fine.  

   

 

Neolithikum Berlin

The Story

already when I moved in - in my new appartment I was confused by that strange hallway. It doesn´t make any sense at all, way much to long, very much the opposite of economical. If you come and visit me, you will understand what I´ m writing about. So I decided if I wanna move out quick without any regrets and enjoying that masterpiece of architecture in its full length I should start a gallery in there or at least something like that.

...

LOGO

I worked a little bit on that idea and tried to contact some peeps to do something in there, I designed a logo

and found a young lovely artist called Molly Nilsson who will design the posters for the exhibitions and very very important a photographer called Stefan Hähnel who will keep track of the documentation.

ha that´s nearly all I guess.

few weeks later 

Poster

Last Monday (31.01.2011) was the official opening. It was an only-broadcast opening, a stream sculpture for lonely heads called: Nachtschattengewächs (solanaceous herb) by the artist  

Klaas Hübner 

and on Tuesday a feature with the Belgian artist 

Floris Vanhoof 

I added some pictures somewhere below and you can find both shows in the archive .

 .................p..........r........o............g..........r.................a...........................m..........

There will be a few more features (in the matter of broadcasting) with beings I really like, after that I should do some more real exhibition stuff - till now I found 3 Artists ( Nikolas Spitzer, Benjamin Altermatt & Jonas Raam). I have the feeling that´s also the order they are going to exhibit. 

The exhibitions are somehow concentrated on diary aspects of drawings but not necessarily drawings it self. After that I should make a hardcore conceptual groupshow thing about artist jackets in relation to the artwork of the owner. Ya and a last show called DanceFloor. O.K. for now that´s pretty much all of it. Lets see how things work out. 

Here are a few pics from the first show

 
       

A drawing and 600 records

I made this Drawing of Krap∞la Manosligeras / David. A spanish (performance?) artist and record spinner. Say hello to him if you can recognize him in the street.
He was at the church on the 24 th of January. His aim was to play 600 records, only records of people who he calls his friends. 600 within 2 hs.
Here is what it sounds like.    
I should also try to edit the video Utku filmed and add it to the post.
in a while..

balancing between time you can hear and films you can't see, very nice very nice

 

041 Harmony of Idleness

I met him a few times in the streets or at some cool bar, some friends recommended him to me as a star of POP and well he is always dressed nice , he seems to be the poet of the catastrophe while he is making love to 2 girls at the same time with his third eye. And I'm sure he already gave his heart away when you and I weren't even born. More over he is one of those guys who love Olivia Newton John and till now he didn't come to pick up the bike, he wanted to steal from me. Monday, the 4th of October from 7 to 9 pm (CEST/ CET+1) was a Monday with Harmony Molina , his friend DJ Multitasking, their band Temporary Items and artistic strategies of Idleness.

by that point I realized, there are some shows which are good, I mean in terms of quality ( content, information, selection bla bla bla ) and there are shows , mh they produce good pictures and they are funny experiences (I can even imagine those are the shows which will become legendary... later on ), but maybe the quality is much more the actual act or moment of creating and broadcasting them.

here are the pictures to one of those shows:
