................................................................................................................................................................................ We invite you to join us Sep 2nd, from 7 until 9 pm, at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art in Vaasa (FI) for the coming SQUID event, which is hosted by the artist-run initiative Platform. During the event the text archive will be on display and you are welcome to sit down and read texts, browse the website, print your favourites and listen to sound files. Invited guests for the evening are artist Anna Lundh and composer/sound artist Johan Landgren who both individually will conduct live performances thematically and conceptually deriving from their text contributions, which will be released the same day. Johan Landgren will perform one of his experimental voice acts, and he comments the performance with the words: The voice is false. False like a bad copy, a hybrid, an impostor. Lend me your ear and I will tell you why. And show you how. Anna Lundh takes as starting point her investigation of composer Karl-Birger Blomdahl’s unfinished opera project ‘Sagan om den stora Datamaskinen', and specifically one of the remaining documents (dating 1967) – a list of concrete sounds to be used in the opera. Through Lundh’s performance she problematizes the relationships between concepts as time, history, ‘the now’, technology, sound and text. The new contributions, which will be released and available online the 2nd of September: #50 Knowing You, Knowing Me: An Appendix for Why We Cannot Speak, by Barrie James Sutcliffe (Gothenburg) #49 OPERATION: Sagan om den Stora Datan – Akt II, by Anna Lundh (Stockholm and NYC) #48 Technology Of The Voice, by Johan Landgren (Gothenburg) #46 The Boy, by Meira Ahmemulic (Gothenburg) We are looking forward to see you Sep 2nd at Kuntsi Museum of Modern Art: Address: Inre hamnen, 65100 Vasa, Finland Time: 7 - 9 PM /Katja Aglert, Martijn van Berkum, Janna Holmstedt |
