Extreme Rituals: A Schimpfluch Carnival

Tuesday, December 25th, 2012

Extreme Rituals: A Schimpfluch Carnival

Date:

30 November – 2 December 2012

Venue:

Arnolfini, Bristol

Produced by:

Sound and Music in partnership with Arnolfini, Tusk Music, Harbinger Sound, Second Layer Records and The Live Art Development Agency

A three-day series of performances, talks and more devoted to the legacy of the Swiss performance group Schimpfluch.

Founded in Zürich in 1987, Rudolf Eb.er created Schimpfluch, a platform for extreme and outsider artists and the generation of highly disturbing and irritating audio/visual works. Gradually expanding to the Schimpfluch-Gruppe art-collective, Eb.er and Joke Lanz have since channelled grotesque humour into an ongoing series of confrontational radio broadcasts, physically demanding performances, ‘abreaction plays’ and ‘psycho-physical tests and trainings’.

Rejecting any given norm and genre, tearing down mental barriers, unlocking all gates to the nether regions of the human psyche, their celebrated work aims to unlock an awareness of existence and encourages the audience to ‘get off the plane of miseducated adulthood’.

The Extreme Rituals carnival is a long-overdue retrospective and a celebration of Schimpfluch. Through an extensive programme will highlight the influence Schimpfluch has had since the late 80s, with audiences treated to a selection of performances, sound-installations, films, photographs and contextualising panel discussions. Alongside core Schimpfluch acts such as Runzelstirn & GurgelstøckSudden Infant,G*Park and Dave Phillips this carnival weekender features rare UK appearances by international guest artists such as Hijokaidan’s Junko HiroshigeGX Jupitter-LarsenPhurpa and Vagina Dentata Organ.

PANGEE
le jardin instrument
du 14 au 22 avril 2012

un parcours sonore de MU et Joachim Montessuis
sur une proposition éditoriale de Madeleine Leclair, musée du quai Branly

Pangée est une installation sonore consacrée à la collection des instruments du musée du quai Branly.
Dans le jardin du musée, un territoire sonore en mouvement retrace les esthétiques des musiques instrumentales de quatre continents : Afrique, Asie, Amériques, Océanie, sur la base des fonds d’enregistrements de la médiathèque du musée. Au cœur de l’installation, les musiques des continents se rencontrent et donnent lieu à une fusion tellurique orchestrée par Joachim Montessuis. 

Pendant la semaine « musée numérique », les visiteurs sont invités à explorer le jardin et la collection musicale du musée du quai Branly, munis d’un terminal et d’un casque audio équipé de capteurs. Les mouvements des spectateurs activent les sources sonores en fonction de leur localisation et de leur orientation.

une co-production MUREMUmusée du quai Branly

avec le soutien de Orange et la participation de Ubisense

Le système Pangée est composé d’une sacoche comprenant un petit ordinateur portable relié à un casque audio auquel a été ajouté un gros capteur permettant probablement de localiser le visiteur. Cet outil, encombrant, lourd et bien peu esthétique, donne l’impression d’un sympathique bricolage d’artiste mais le tout fonctionne bien.

En parcourant les allées du jardin, on entend des musiques du monde qui changent selon les endroits et s’enchaînent sans discontinuité. Ce n’est pas enthousiasmant mais on se plaît à imaginer de futures applications culturelles pour smartphone qui pourraient produire le même résultat avec un dispositif tenant dans le creux de la main. Pangée est une expérimentation, agréable par jour de beau temps, qui tente de faire dialoguer les musiques, dans un musée qui comme celui du Quai Branly ne cesse d’innover et cet aspect est largement positif.


 

*** VENDREDI 20 AVRIL – BEFORE “Les Maîtres du desordre” ***

Programmé pendant la semaine évènementielle Musée numérique et à l’occasion de l’exposition “Les Maîtres du désordre”, rejoignez le quai Branly pour expérimenter l’installation Pangée (15h00-19h00), visiter l’exposition (nocturne jusqu’à 23h00) et plonger dans un BEFORE évoquant les fêtes du désordre, un univers décalé et réinterprété par des performances d’artistes contemporains (à partir de 19h00) : concert de I Apologize (Jean-Luc Verna, Pascal Marius et Gauthier Tassart), cinéconcert de New Crium Délirium Erratum Coyote Circus, performances de Aki Onda & Gaël Segalen, de Julien Ottavi et du magicien Abdul Alafrez, mix audiovisuel de Vidéosampleur, installation multimédia Pupp’art de Mosquito et les interventions du Corps Collectif et de Nueva Generacion.
Une programmation du musée du quai Branly, en collaboration avec Joachim Montessuis, Jedrzej Zagorski et David Sanson.

Biographies:

JAAP BLONK
Jaap Blonk (born 1953 in Holland) is a self-taught composer, performer and poet.

Around the age of 30 he discovered his potential as a vocal performer, at first in reciting poetry and later on in improvisations and his own compositions. The voice became his main means for the discovery and development of new sounds, later extended by the use of live electronics and live interactive animations.
Jaap Blonk is unique for his powerful stage presence and freedom in improvisation, combined with a keen grasp of structure. He performs all over the world.
He performed and recorded with many instrumentalists and vocalists, such as Maja Ratkje, Phil Minton, Mats Gustafsson, Jim O’Rourke, Terrie Ex, Joëlle Léandre, Marcus Schmickler, Gary Lucas etc.
He also has his own record label, Kontrans, featuring a total of 15 releases so far.

JOERG PIRINGER
born 1974. currently living in vienna, austria. member of the institute for transacoustic research. member of the vegetable orchestra. master degree in computer science.

works as a freelance artist and researcher in the fields of electronic music, radio art, sound and visual electronic poetry, interactive collaborative systems, online communities, live performance, sound installation, computer games and video art.

JULIEN OTTAVI
A mediactivist, artist-researcher, composer / musician, poet and tongues destroyer, experimental film maker and anarchitect, founder and member of Apo33, Julien Ottavi is involved in research and creative work, combining sound art, real-time video, new technologies and body performances. Since 1997, he develops a composition work using voice and its transformation through computer. Active developer of audio/visual programs with Puredata, he has also developed since many years DIY electronics (radio transmitters, oscillators, mixers, amplifiers, video transmitters…etc) in the perspective of knowledge sharing on technological development. Main developer for the Gnu/Linux operating system APODIO for digital art and A/V & streaming diffusion. His practices is not limited to the art spheres but crosses different fields from technological development to philosophy / theoretical research, biomimetic analysis & experimentation. Since many years he reflects on the relations between experimental practices and collective practices within the creation of autonomous collective groups, putting in question the authorship strategy of the “art ideology”.

Julien Ottavi is part of a generation of audio artists to emerge in the 90s that indicated some of the directions that music and soundart is taking. While at art school, he organized a series of concerts, bringing international artists from the experimental scene to Nantes, drawing touring musicians to movements happening outside of Paris. This became not just a destination but a nexus for collaborations. This resulted for example in the group Formanex to perform graphical scores of electro-acoustic music, and in Apo33, an artists collective to facilitate, nurture, and disseminate creative audio practice. In this way, Julien represents the energy and initiative of a present day artist – activist through practice, organizing as performance, publishing as networking, open source and open aesthetic. This fluidity of working across boundaries of style and role are seen in his music, physical with computer, performative and reflective. (introduction by Atau Tanaka)
Regular collaborators of reconized artists : Jenny Pickett, Brandon Labelle, Keith Rowe, Kasper T. Toeplitz, Jerome Joy, Ryan Jordan, Joachim Montessuis, Christian Galarretta, Achim Wollscheid, Elpueblodelchina, Zbigniew Karkowski, Randy Yau, Ilios, Philippe Roux, Dominique Leroy, Dion Workman, Yvan Etienne, Mike Bullock, Phill Niblock, Seth Cluett, KKnull, Jean-Louis Costes…etc.

JOACHIM MONTESSUIS
He is currently based in Paris. Since 1993 he has been developing a transversal sonic poetry praxis focused on experimental voice processing and immersive concert-installations. His noise and video events are devised as panic-poetic spaces in which sensorial disturbance and blurring occur, starting from silence to wall of sound. He has worked in some major European electronic arts centres (CICV, Fresnoy, V2_Lab, KHM) and his live performances and installations have been presented at international venues and festivals including DEAF, ISEA, ICA, Yerba Buena Center in SF, Sónar, Elektra, Rio de Janeiro among others. His current work is oriented towards a reflection process on the observation and perception of reality through a non-dual approach.

He also is the editor of the CD label Erratum devoted to art, noise and experimental sound poetry – which he started in 1997. He occasionally curates experimental poetry events and exhibitions.
Collaborations with very many different artists including Charlemagne Palestine, Phill Niblock, Maja Ratkje, Henri Chopin, Joel Hubaut, Jörg Piringer, Julien Ottavi, Evil Moisture, Horia Cosmin Samoïla, Gary Hill, John Giorno, Collectif MU (Paris), Shu Lea Cheang, Martin Howse, etc etc
