Performative Lecture + WIEDER-Aufbau 6

Sunday, 14 December, 19h, HOTELbich

Brussel-Paris
The Brussels based writer Bruno De Wachter will be giving a lecture-performance, elaborating on his 30 days walk from Brussels to Paris:
(Please note that this lecture is spoken in Dutch!)

“Ik wilde een lijn trekken tussen beide steden en elk detail dat op die lijn ligt,
registreren met mijn eigen ogen. De afstand afmeten met mijn eigen benen.
Mijn huisdeur achter mij dichttrekken, wandelen tot bij de Notre-Dame,
en terugkeren met de Thalys in een uur en twintig minuten.
Het werd een verrassende tocht van dertig dagen,
die mijn gevoel voor tijd, afstand en snelheid danig heeft aangescherpt.”
---------------------------------------------------------

WIEDER-Aufbau 6
In the second floor composer Simon Steen-Andersen, artist in residency of HOTELbich,
will show the installation LOLOOPOP:

LOLOOPOP (2006) consists of 2 visual loops and 3 audio loops.
The different durations of the loops –all between 3 and 4.5 minutes– make sure that the
primary layers won't meet at the exact same point before after 52
years, 211 days, 4 hours, 15 minutes and 36 seconds...

LOLOOPOP is the result of a close collaboration between Simon
Steen-Andersen and visual artist Carl Krull.

WORKER'S CLUB

In 1925, the Russian constructivist Rodchenko installed his prototype of a "Worker's Club" in Paris; a utopian interactive statement for socialist culture.

Times have changed, but socialism might recently have got another chance through the current financial crisis, somehow.

Let us seize this opportunity and see how a Worker's Club could be constructed today. Nicolas Galeazzi will invite several people during his one-week residency at HOTELbich to develop Rodchenko's idea through our contemporary visions.

On Saturday afternoon, 17h-20h, we will open the new Worker's Club to the public and invite them to test it while sharing a round of drinks and Christmas cookies among comrades.

I need a witness to perform

Kajsa Sandström (SE) and David Bergé (BE/DE) will have this weekend the shortest residency of HOTELbich ever. They are in the middle of a reharsel process for their new piece, which they will premier at Weld in Stockholm 13 December. At HOTELbich they will make an informal showing on sunday, 16 Nov, 4pm.

”The desire to work together comes from a common interest in bringing performative elements into another frame than the theater. Looking for ways where photography, the process of recording images, can merge with movement and stagepresence.”
