This is a magazine. Episode 25

Sabato 20 settembre Careof inaugura la nuova stagione espositiva con il progetto editoriale indipendente This is a magazine curato/creato dagli artisti Karen ann Donnachie (Australia/Inghilterra, 1970) e Andy Simionato (Australia/Italia, 1968)

Sound performance: ore 20.00 Francesco Spampinato x Sbudellatron, Unbounded // ore 20.30 My Cat is an Alien, Beyond yr shadow - I am / I am not (here?)

This is a magazine nasce a Milano nel 2002 e vive in diverse forme on line e cartacee. Costruito di volta in volta intorno ad un tema diverso con contributi eterogenei di artisti e non, è sempre declinato in modo differente e accompagnato da gif animate, performance in powerpoint, video, flipbook in flash, oggetti in quicktime, multipli d’artista e gadgets
This is (not) a magazine, come lo definiscono gli autori “is an experiment in post-communication. A magazine after magazines, this is a magazine about nothing”

La mostra a Careof - Episode 25: Activities in time and space - è concepita come nuovo numero della rivista. Donnachie-Simionato giocano con lo spazio - non più solo virtuale del web ma anche fisico della galleria come con una scatola magica, dalla quale fanno apparire video, stikers, poster, immagini proiettate, installazioni e performance. Episode 25 esplora gli aspetti più “spirituali” della tecnologia e di internet attraverso i blog del surfclub Loshadka, l’attività sociale di aids-3d, quella poetica di Nikola Tosic, l’approccio da hacker di Shane Hope o quello a metà fra la street art e la magia tradizionale del 18° secolo di Center for Tactical Magic. Yoshi Sodeoka interviene sulle sonorità dei gruppi musicali più estremi, Grant Willing si appropria di immagini della scienza mentre Harm van den Dorpel coinvolge il pubblico proiettandone l’immagine attraverso un grande diamante specchio. Oliver Laric e Damon Zucconi propongono un lavoro formale di sovvertimento dei codici.
Due le performance per la serata inaugurale: quella di My cat is an alien (MCIAA) è incentrata sull'incontro/scontro tra due dimensioni parallele, mentre Francesco Spampinato in collaborazione con il duo Sbudellatron propone l’entrata in un mondo altro fornendo al pubblico la materializzazione di un canale di conduzione verso una nuova realtà spazio-temporale

Center for Tactical Magic

What is the Center for Tactical Magic? Activists?  Occultists? Conjurors? Tricksters? Contemporary artists? Martial artists? Con-artists?  "Most of the time we feel that these debates are more productive for everyone when we stay out of them and let folks figure things out on their own."
The Center for Tactical Magic's curse sticker, distributed during the exhibition, is somewhere in between modern street graffiti and much older forms of magical resistance, such as the placing of curses on the property of feudal lords.

Damon Zucconi

Conversation between a fallen angel (Damiel) and a passer-by in Wings of Desire:
Is this red?
Yes.
And the pipes?
They're yellow.
'And him there?' [pointing at some painted figures on the Berlin Wall]
He's grey-blue.
Him?
He's orange...ochre.
Orange or ochre?
Ochre.
Red...Yellow...And him?
He's green.
And the bit above the eyes?
That's blue.

Two projects are presented in this edition; in the first Laric interviews Andy Warhol over an internet chat with a psychic medium.

My Cat is an Alien

My cat is an Alien are leaders in the field of abstract drones and experimental music. Vittore Baroni described the two brothers' music as "Audio sculptures floating on a tension cable that never looses its way or grows fainter from the first instant to the last. The Beauty of noise in a sum of almost casual gestures."

Francesco Spampinato X Sbudellatron

Unbounded è un progetto performativo che vede per la prima volta la collaborazione tra Francesco Spampinato e il gruppo artrock degli Sbudellatron. Sul palco si esibirà uno dei due membri del gruppo con un laptop mentre l’altro interverrà a distanza da Londra con una chitarra attraverso un collegamento online. Unbounded vuole essere una ricerca sul significato di lontananza e separazione attraverso la messa in scena, all’interno di una gabbia, di un performance musicale a distanza. Unbounded funziona come una sovrastruttura cerebrale, una forma di anti-palcoscenico per un’allucinogena esperienza sinestetica. Il suono di natura post-nucleare degli Sbudellatron si fonda con l’immaginario fantascientifico e psichedelico di Francesco Spampinato. Gli hula-hoop prefigurano l’entrata in un mondo altro da quello in cui si svolge l’evento fornendo al pubblico la materializzazione di un canale di conduzione verso una condizione spazio-temporale in cui le coordinate di cui siamo a conoscenza vengono a crollare
