We are a Marxist-Humanist publication and organization that has long argued for a unity of theory and practice based on decentralized and non-vanguardist organizational forms. The Manifesto's discussion of the one-sidedness of both theoretical and practical work when developed in isolation is most refreshing, and we look forward to a dialogue on such issues between us.

The Butoh Rockettes are a performance group that incorporates dance, theater and puppetry into their work to create miniature spectacles. Their work has been seen at P.S.122, Martha at Mother, Jackie 60 and at various outdoor and indoor locations throughout New York City including a pier on the Hudson River, an abandoned factory in Brooklyn and a store window in Manhattan. This new piece, called "Nowhere" created specifically for Hotel New York, transforms the room in a dream-like, hallucinatory environment, with costumes and puppets by Chris Maresca. The performance invites viewers to enter the hotel room to become a part of the performance/exhibit. "Nowhere" will be performed by: Celeste Hastings, Patti Bradshaw, Chris Maresca, Frank Schneider and Britt Whitton. _________________ Hotel New York is an initiative of the Dutch artist Jeanne van Heeswijk, that marked her participation in the International Studio Program 1998/99 at PS1. Jeanne has passed the torch to Alice Smits to organize Hotel New York 2000. Gallery 205 at PS1 is transformed into a replica of a hotelroom of Hotel New York in Rotterdam, located in the former head office of the Holland-America line. With Hotel New York PS1 a cultural line to New York is created. Hotel New York functions as a working and showing space for artists, performers, filmmakers, and musicians. During the year Alice Smits will invite guests to stay, work and present projects to the public. As a hotelroom, Hotel New York echoes the history of travel and thus reflects the migration and nomadic movements of the contemporary art world. Hotel New York is a space for live events focusing on artists projects that emphasis interdisciplinarity and public interaction. In the intimate situation of a living space, Hotel New York offers an interesting context for making and presenting such projects within the contemporary art museum - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2000 13:21:25 +0100 From: matthew fuller <matt@axia.demon.co.uk> Subject: CFP:*Stoking the Fires: Queer Post-Colonialities* CFP:*Stoking the Fires: Queer Post-Colonialities* We are soliciting contributions for a collection of essays, provisionally titled, Stoking the Fires: Queer Post-Colonialities, that will contribute to the emerging body of work on the intersections of queer studies and postcolonial theory. Our work is concerned with the tensions between the materiality of the historical and the politics of the geographical. The essays we have in mind would attend to such critical issues as the rapid expansion of queer movements in the post-colonies; the theoretical liaisons among diaspora studies, queer studies and studies of globalization. We are interested in essays that focus on local sites and interrogate the very production of what we consider "post-colonial" and "queer."

I’m an artist from Denmark… Originally, I wanted to be a painter. At some point while in art school I started to pose questions as to why I did these paintings. And all of a sudden it didn’t make sense anymore. I abandoned painting and started making video instead…" After last summer’s delirious screenings of drug-related films by Carsten Holler, the Lux invites Danish artist Peter Land to present ‘Introduction to my Work’. Slapstick and often bizarre, the world of Peter Land is filed with extraordinary Sisyphian tasks and absurdist images, as the artist falls time and time again from bar stools and step ladders, or looses himself in the company strippers. ‘Introduction to my Work’ includes early gems such as ‘d. 6 Februar’ (1994) and ‘Pink Space’ (1995), as well as recent works - as yet unseen in the UK – including ‘The Cellist’ (1998) and ‘The Staircase’ (1998). The compilation also features ‘The Lake’ where the artist is spied walking through woodlands sporting Bavarian tweeds and a shot-gun. The rest is history… Land graduated from Goldsmith’s college in 1995 and exhibited extensively throughout Europe and America. Recent solo-shows include Galleri Nicolai Wallner, Copenhagen, Klosterfelde Gallery, Berlin, Grunert/Gasser, New York and Museum of Modern Art Chicago. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upcoming: TRAGIC DATA: September 20 - October 15, 2000 TERRY SMITH: November 3 - December 3, 2000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a reminder to check out these web-sites… (a possible artist-project maybe? : ) http://www.annelyjuda.co.uk http://www.anthonydoffay.co.uk http://www.anthonyreynolds.co.uk http://www.anthonywilkinson.co.uk http://www.gagosian.co.uk http://www.gimpelfils.co.uk http://www.haywardgallery.org.uk http://www.halesgallery.co.uk http://www.interimart.co.uk http://www.lauregenillard.co.uk http://www.laurentdelaye.co.uk http://www.luxgallery.org.uk http://www.mattsgallery.org.uk http://www.michaelhue-williams.co.uk http://www.paulstolper.co.uk http://www.rhodesmann.co.uk http://www.richardsalmon.co.uk http://www.saatchigallery.org.uk http://www.sadiecoles.co.uk http://www.serpentinegallery.org.uk http://www.stephenfriedman.co.uk http://www.tategallery.org.uk http://www.thelissongallery.co.uk http://www.thenationalgallery.org.uk http://www.turnerprize.org.uk http://www.victoriamiro.co.uk http://www.vilmagold.co.uk http://www.waddingtongalleries.org.uk http://www.whitecube.org.uk ------------------------------------------------------- enjoy!

The website is an online narrative that uses the ancient genre of the traveler's tale to explore the connections between narrative, memory & technology. A treasure hunt takes place in a desert terrain called the sunset/sunrise, where the determination to find the lost treasure meets nostalgia for speculated technology and longing for a loved one left behind. Treasure crumbs found in excavation sites, oddly, resemble candy sprinkles. Written in the literary style of magical realism, "World of Awe" contains a collection of love letters that open from digital landscapes and journal entries that describe events from the expedition. Also included are detailed technical descriptions of three navigation tools: The map, the moodRingBaby and the magnifying glass. "I'm constantly drawn to the intimate 'loving' aspect of working in the digital environments where narrative and code become one. Where code and binaries expand the non-verbal experience of the narrative," says Ms. Kanarek. Visitors to "World of Awe" are greeted with the sound of hollowing wind and an invitation to enter an interface that appears like an awkward application, which claims to mirror the content stored on the laptop used by the traveler. "I printed the output and wrote your name on the back then folded it into a tiny ball and left it on the motherboard next to me. I sat there for a while...just sat there...mind wandering, gazing into nowhere. A dung beetle climbed on the motherboard. It approached my letter, sniffed my little love ball then got on its forelegs and rolled it away off the motherboard and under an old Pentium 7 Gateway 2300 PC (I recognized it by the udder on its case). I reached out to my backpack pulling out a few strips of dodo jerky and crackers for dinner. A quiet thought was wondering how long it would take for my message to arrive at its destination." --excerpt from the chapter Silicon Canyon. "World of Awe" is a production of Treasurecrumbs, conceived and developed by Yael Kanarek. DHTML & Perl programming by Luis Perez. Sound design by Raw Dog. Edited by Rebecca Turner. "World of Awe" has been in development since 1995. A previous version of the site is archived on the SFMOMA website. An "Art Dirt" online interview/performance is accessible through the Walker Art Center website. "World of Awe" is hosted by RSUB-The Razorfish Subnetwork and is a participant in FILE, International Electronic Language Festival in Såo Paulo, Brazil in August. Visit "World of Awe" on the web at http://www.worldofawe.net. The site is accessible through any 4.X web browser and requires a Flash plugin.

In contrast to previous studies on the use of the Net, the focus has been shifted and expanded here. In the past few years, research concentrated on the investigation of quantitative data concerning online time and modalities, the issue of the Internet substituting classic mass media, as well as negative aspects, e.g. Internet addiction, the need for information diets and censorship mechanisms (right-wing radicalism, child pornography). By contrast, the CyberPoiesis project is neither of the quantifying and essentialistic kind nor concerned with a critique of culture and a pessimistic attitude: it focuses on the cognitive transformation (of perception, imagination and identity) caused by communication on the Net and the changed modes of social self-organisation in virtual communities. This first part of empirical research concerning the Net will be completed at the end of the year 2000. The Second Research Focus The second part of research will look into the possibilities and conditions of relations in time and space within the sphere of networked electronic media. Against the backdrop of existing results of empirical research, this will mainly be about ? the qualitative dimensions of social options of information, communication and action in artificial spaces; ? selected projects involving the artistic design and animation of artificial spaces and ? independent, quasi-ethnic cultural developments. The second stage of research will be completed in mid-2001. The Central Questions ? How can media science actually 'grasp' an 'object area' of constant transformation, acceleration and technical innovation such as net-based media? ? Are there any theories and models concerning the evolution and emergence of new media in general and Net media in particular? ? What are the contributions of (Radical) Constructivism, (autopoietic) systems theory, (second- and third-order) cybernetics and memetics to the observation of the Net media evolution? ? What are the empirical methods and processes specially suited for the observation of Net use? ? How does Net use change the cognitive construction of views of the world, content of perception and imagination? ? What are the new communication styles and forms created by communication on the Net? ? What is the relation of text-based and image-based communication on the Net? ? How do social structures, contexts, communities and the (world) society change due to Net communication? ? What are the social semantics that turn out to be plausible in the age of Net mediality? Theoretical Evolution The CyberPoiesis project seeks to test advanced anti-realistic and observer-centred theories such as Radical Constructivism, autopoietic systems theory and second-order cybernetics for its suitability (and the degree to which they can be used empirically) for the observation of Net communication. Concerning theoretical assumptions, research focuses on the following issues: » How do micro level (the cognitive construction of reality = constructivism) and macro level (the social construction of reality = systems theory) relate? » How can all levels, from micro level to macro level (individual use of the Net, use routines and habits, net structures, political, economic, technical and legal framework conditions)be observed in a meaningful way within an integrative theory architecture? » How can systems theory be extended by an additional perspective, the dialectic of system and network (V. Grassmuck)? » How can second-order cybernetics be operationalised as a general theory of media observation? The Methods The CyberPoesis project is breaking new ground in terms of research methods as it waives the angle of the external scientific observer in the first research focus: CyberPoiesis is a project about the Net and (almost exclusively) on the Net. Empirically speaking, CyberPoiesis is thus an attempt at carrying out an entirely new form of Internet survey. In the second part of research, analyses of literature, qualitative interviews and the presentation and discussion of artistic projects in terms of media analysis will be in the foreground. Final Evaluation Before the process is completed we are planning to invite five authors from among all those who actively participated to comment on five theses resulting from the research process. Moreover, we are planning to publish the overall results in a book in the spring of 2002.

Contact Leah Broder 415 626 5416 or leah@newlangtonarts.org THE BAY AREA AWARD SHOW 2000: July 12 - September 9, 2000 Opening Reception July 13, 6 - 8 pm VISUAL ART: Leona Christie, Frederick Hayes, and Jon-Paul Villegas NET ART: Steev Hise and Masako Odaka AU MUSÉE D'HONNEUR MINUSCULE: Hilary Chartrand San Francisco - New Langton Arts announces the recipients of The Bay Area Award Show 2000. Langton's walls pop with color, texture, and raw emotion when visual arts awardees Leona Christie, Frederick Hayes, and Jon-Paul Villegas take over the gallery. NetWork awardees Steev Hise and Masako Odaka evoke democratic freedom and subvert the eCommerce paradigm in their Internet based projects. Musée artist Hilary Chartrand turns scraps of commercially printed products into landscapes of color and pattern. In its seventh year, The Award Show embodies the spirit of exploration on which this artist space was founded nearly 25 years ago. Langton's curators turn a focused eye toward local art makers, performers, and writers, and give audiences a chance to sample a selection of the innovation taking place locally. New Langton Arts is located at 1246 Folsom Street. Gallery hours are 12 - 5, Wednesday through Saturday. Admission is free. Call 415 626 5416 for info. IN THE GALLERY Oakland artist Leona Christie draws ethereal worlds that vacillate between fantasy and industry, innocence and corruption, Ziegfield follies and organic abstraction. Monochromatic skyscapes and transparent heroines from her on-going series The Helium Wars fill a wall and bubble over, spilling onto the gallery floor. Quietly staring out from a field of white paper Frederick Hayes' characters speak volumes. The passionately rendered charcoal portraits are moments we've experienced, emotions we've felt, people we've passed by on the street. For The Award Show Hayes creates life-sized drawings of six characters from the modern metropolis. In Jon-Paul Villegas' installations chewing gum, fake flowers, and faux wood paneling implicate each other in mysterious, open-ended narratives. He carefully alters and arranges found objects into sculptures and installations that behave like paintings on a wall. ONLINE at www.newlangtonarts.org Steev Hise's project, Detritus Sound Consensus Bakery (2000) netcasts an algorithmically generated sound collage 24 hours a day. Listeners use a web interface to set a variety of sonic variables drawing from a database of sound samples. Listeners' input is statistically averaged and processed into a new 'democratic' stream of sound. Masako Odaka's project Pinion (2000), invites the user to modify existing web pages then uploads them to free servers all over the world, creating information noise or echo. The title, which means to restrain a bird from flight by cutting or binding its wings, refers to users ability to separate the "pinioned" web sites from their intended location and purpose. MUSEE D'HONNEUR MINUSCULE A stack of envelopes becomes a mesmerizing composition of lines and folds when put in the hands of SF artist Hilary Chartrand. She turns common, commercially printed products into elegant, painterly objects, asking the viewer to find beauty in the mundane.
