NOWs: Line and Dot by Sophia Pompéry & Tobias Roth

02. September - 15. Oktober 2016 / Nows ⟶

NOWs: LINE AND DOT Sophia Pompéry & Tobias Roth The line and the dot, these ancient characters of script, become cues for two radical and experimental artworks exhibited during Appropriating Language #17, in Manière Noire. With both pieces: Und Punkt as well as Häuserzeilen. 1600 Meter Monostichon, Sophia Pompéry examines the visual form of writing, given extreme amplifications. Und Punkt is a collection of microscopically photographed full stops that mark the end of the last sentence in novels about love, in a time frame from 1774 to 2008. This is an invitation to the viewer, to individually contemplate on detail at a standstill. Whereas Häuserzeilen. 1600 Meter Monostichon, a collaboration with the author Tobias Roth, invites the viewer for a stroll, in order to go through distances in urban space. A poem of Roth about the quarter of Moabit was recently executed on its streets (spanning over 1600 meters) by means of a huge brush and a mixture of water and chalk. The perception of everyday life and space was the theme of the poem, which, transferred outdoors, stimulated the public to experience the line (the poem) by walking. – How do these, brought to extreme, forms of typography and calligraphy change, when they return indoor, back to the book and frames? Photographs, printed matter, a poem and a film are on display at Manière Noire in Berlin/Moabit. Starting the 2nd of September 2016, the exhibition lasts until 15th of October. – Tobias Roth’s essay about Und Punkt, the series of full stops by Sophia Pompéry is available with Signaturen Magazin, Forum für zeitgenössische Poesie. NOWs: LINE AND DOT Sophia Pompéry & Tobias Roth Linie und Punkt bilden die Basis der Schrift – hier bilden sie die Basis zweier radikaler, experimenteller Aneignungen des Schriftzeichens. In ihren beiden Und Punkt und Häuserzeilen. 1600 Meter Monostichon lotet Sophia Pompéry Extreme der Größenordnung aus. Und Punkt versammelt die letzten Punkte aus Liebesromanen von 1774 bis 2008 in mikroskopischen Nahaufnahmen und lädt zur Konzentration im Detail ein – Häuserzeilen hingegen, ein Gemeinschaftswerk mit dem Autor Tobias Roth, lädt ein zu Flanerie und Entfaltung im Raum. Ein Gedicht Roths über Moabit wurde mit Schlemmkreide auf 1600 Metern auf die Straßen Moabit geschrieben: Die Wahrnehmung des Alltags und des Lebensraums ist Thema des Textes, aber auch genau der Punkt, auf den das Erlebnis der Linie einwirkt. – Wie haben sich diese Gestalten, diese Extrempunkte der Typographie und Kalligraphie, verändert, wenn sie letzten Endes wieder in ein Buch, in eine Galerie zurückkehren? Beide Werke und ihre zugehörigen Dokumentationen als Buch oder Video sind ab dem 2. September 2016 in der Galerie Manière Noire in Berlin/Moabit zu sehen. – Ein Essay von Tobias Roth zu Und Punkt, der Werkserie von Schlusspunkten von Sophia Pompéry ist im Signaturen Magazin, Forum für zeitgenössische Poesie erschienen.

NOWs: Widow Radio Ching by Ming LIN & Elaine W. HO

03. - 05. August 2016 / Nows ⟶

NOWs: WIDOW RADIO CHING The Hydrofemme in Three Acts WIDOW RADIO CHING is a radio operetta, variety show and audio symposium with FM broadcast and netstreams on Radio FRO (Linz) and Radio Helsinki (Graz), live aboard the survey vessel Eleonore from August 3 to 5, 2016, 00:00-01:30 (GMT +1) nightly. From the South China Sea to the Danube river, minor ripples become the waves by which the hydrofemme contests the neocolonial frontiers of water in defense of an oceanic commons of substance and thought. WIDOW RADIO CHING rewrites a fragmented and amorphous ode to the hydrofemme as a sonic essay in (radio) waves, transmitting her as a multi-headed heroine who traces the fissures between bottom-up social organization and top-down politico-economic power. Weaving together textual narrative, sound works, and dialogue with invited guests, WIDOW RADIO CHING will unfold in three acts (each act of 90 minute duration) following a trajectory of queer time — divested of concrete future aims and abandoning overarching, streamlined narratives of the hope and optimism that govern our contemporary political, economic and environmental ecosystems. Beginning from the critical dystopia that is our science fiction present, migration, extraterritoriality and environmental degradation shall take new course expanding upon feminine myths of liquidity, fluid identity and alter-sovereignty in labour. WIDOW RADIO CHING features contributions by: Shu Lea Cheang, Deborah Cowen, Natalie Galpern, Annie Goh, Aurelia Guo, Elaine W. Ho, Reni Hofmüller, Ming Lin, Astrida Neimanus, Kaitlin Rees & Liam Welch, Kate Rich, Pelin Tan, Tortuga, Eva Ursprung, et al. Brought to you by Ming Lin & Elaine W. Ho as part of the RADIO ACTIVE – SINK and SWIM residency 2016, Linz, AT Writer-researcher Ming Lin and artist-researcher Elaine W. Ho work under the shared mantle of Display Distribute — a shop, exhibition space and roving thematic inquiry investigating bottom-up organisation amidst global trade. What began in 2013 as a documentary gesture of a distinct urban phenomenon has unfolded as a series of interventions, research initiatives and distribution experiments, forming a unique document that attests to the ad-hoc arrangements emerging out of the fissures of capitalism and its social and material detritus. WIDOW RADIO CHING is their first foray into the sociopolitical spaces of broadcast.
