THU/20.7.00, 9pm CET : STR in conversation with Klaus Walter.

topic:  "all is Pop & Pop is nothing".
__________________________

"Alles ist Pop & Pop ist nichts

Nie war so viel Popmusik wie heute. Nie hatte ein Popsong so wenig Wirkung
wie heute.

Dieser Doppel-These duerften die meisten von uns zustimmen.
Wir & das sind diejenigen, deren Leben ohne die Beatles, Bob Dylan und Jimi
Hendrix anders gelaufen waere.
Die ohne die Punk-Revolte 77 vorzeitig gealtert waeren.
Wir & das sind die Thirty- und Forty-Somethings, die heute in den
Kultur-Redaktionen den Diskurs ueber Pop organisieren. Und eine Konstante
in der Rede ueber Pop ist die Rede von der Krise.
Die Definitionsmacht von Pop(musik) steckt in der Krise.
Dieser Satz ist dem Pop-Diskurs des Feuilletons paradigmatisch eingeschrieben.

Aber trifft er denn zu? Oder ist er bloss schriftgewordene Midlife-Crisis?
Was ist Stand der Dinge in der Popkultur? Wie funktioniert Definitionsmacht
2000?"

Subject: sublet august

Dear all,

I am leaving for the month of august and am looking for somebody to stay in
my place on 14th Street.

The rent is $ 400 for the whole month and looking after a cat. 

I am living in with a very nice older woman who is only going to be there
for a few days in the month. It is a big appartment near Union Square that
you have all to yourself whenever she is not there. It can be for the whole
month of august or for the first three weeks. Let me know if you are
interested or know somebody who might be. Thanks, 

best Alice

SUSTAINABLE PROPAGANDA

a project by Oliver Ressler

Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien
Mariannenplatz 1-2
D-10997 Berlin 
opening: Thursday, July 27, 2000, 20:00
28.7. – 13.8.2000, Wed – Sun 14 – 19 


"Sustainable Propaganda” is realized as a series of solo-exhibitions in
the following galleries:

Kunstverein Nuernberg, Nuernberg (20.5. – 11.6.2000)
Ausstellungsraum Konstantin Adamopoulos & mak-ffm, Frankfurt (16. – 27.8.2000)
Kunstbuero 1060, Vienna (6. – 24.9.2000)

http://www.kunstundbuecher.at/propaganda 



The project "Sustainable Propaganda” (Nachhaltige Propaganda) confronts
"sustainable development”, the main theme of the world fair in Hannover
(June 1 to October 31, 2000). Under the motto "Human – Nature –
Technology” the Expo 2000 propagates that threatening environmental,
developmental and population problems can be solved by technology.
Although science and technology are indeed named as "causes” of the
ecological crisis, at the same time they are considered part of the
solution. 
Since the 1992 Rio Summit at the latest, the ecological question has
been articulated almost exclusively in terms of the world wide debate on
sustainable development. The discourse flows from questions of
modernization, down-sizing, efficiency, population control and future
technologies. Utopian ideas are replaced by the technocratic management
of nature. The sustainability debate is marked by an exclusion of the
dimension of domination; the ecological relations are separated from
relations of domination (i.e. between "North” and "South”).

In a gigantic self-display of capitalist power, the future viability of
the system should be proven at the Expo 2000. For the first time in the
world fair’s history, the central exhibition area in Hannover is not the
exclusive presentation platform. So-called "world-wide projects” in
various cities and countries should also show solutions to ecological
and economic problems. The Expo offers itself as a symbolic battlefield
to make other social developments and designs visible. 

In the project "Sustainable Propaganda”, the ideologies displayed in the
Expo theme parks will be analyzed and alternative models of thought and
action presented. The models for a sustainable future are thus exposed
as domination strategies. In this aspect the project ties in with my
project "100 Years of the Greenhouse Effect” which I carried out in 1996
in Salzburg’s Kunstverein. (http://www.lot.at/politics/contributions/s_ressler3.htm)

The project "Sustainable Propaganda” consists of diverse elements: 
Computer produced visual material of the Disney-like settings in the
theme parks forms the starting point for a series of 9 digital prints
(http://www.kunstundbuecher.at/propaganda). The Expo’s future designs
are overlapped by a number of commentaries based on a leftist analysis
of hegemonic concepts of sustainability. The commentaries are designed
as dialogue boxes in the print series which inform the computer user
about problems. In the project "Sustainable Propaganda” these "error
messages” point out the flawed programming of the content of the Expo
2000 and the inherent systematic errors of the concept of
sustainability. 

In the video "Sustainable Propaganda” (44 min.) the drafts for an
ecologically sustainable reformed global capitalism are criticized in
additional facets. Jörg Bergstedt (author of the book "Agenda, Expo,
Sponsoring”, 1998), Sonya Schneider, Kai Kaschinski from the magazine
Alaska and mamba – working group for feminist Expo critique, present
their points of criticism in the conversations recorded for the video.
In the second part of the video, writer Christoph Spehr explains an
alternative concept for development which was discussed in the ‘90s in
connection with BUKO under the motto, "Winding down the North!” and
places it in contrast to the future scenarios of the Expo planners. 

"Nachhaltige Propaganda” is not an Expo project!

2000 Taipei Biennial
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT

9 September, 2000 -- 7 January, 2001
Organized by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Taiwan
Curated by Jérôme Sans and Manray (Wen-Rwei) Hsu

Participating Artists:

Candice Breitz (South Africa), Hsia-fei Chang (Taiwan), Shu Lea Cheang
(USA), Loris Cecchini (Italy), Claude Closky (France), Meschac Gaba (Benin),
Kendell Geers (South Africa), Gimhongsok (Korea), Hanayo (Japan), Tung-lu
Hung (Taiwan), Soo-ja Kim (Korea), Surasi Kusolwong (Thailand), Kyupi Kyupi
(Japan), Mingwei Lee (Taiwan), Mark Lewis (Canada), Michael Lin (Taiwan),
Liza Lou (USA), Michel Majerus (Germany), Jonathan Monk (Great Britain),
Daniel Pflumm (Germany), Henrik Plenge Jakobsen (Denmark), Navin
Rawanchaikul (Thailand), Tobias Rheberger (Germany), Sidney Stucki
(Switzerland), Pascale Marthine Tayou (Cameroon), Uri Tzaig (Israel), Wang
Du (China), Jun-jieh Wang (Taiwan), You-shen Wang (China), Erwin Wurm
(Austria), Jun'ya Yamaide (Japan).

Taipei Biennial:

The Taipei Biennial 2000 is the first contemporary international biennial of
its kind for Taiwan and signifies a new direction after 1998's "Site of
Desire," curated by Fumio Nanjo, featured East Asian artists and helped
propel the Taipei Biennial into the global arena.

Theme:

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT is an open dialogue between the two curators Jerome
Sans (France) and Manray Hsu (Taiwan). This exhibition aims to construct a
forum of collective experiences among artists and audience alike. Instead of
producing a spectacular mega-exhibition, Taipei Biennial 2000 insists on its
"human scale" dimensions by including approximately thirty international
artists from more than twenty countries. The goal is to relocate the
biennial in the place where it happens and to create a lab where actions and
fantasies can be put into experimentation. The idea is to present the
exhibition as a site of "living experience."

We are now entering a new century, a new age, in which everything is
available, accessible, recordable, and ready for consumption. Our world is
now in the remix. We see contemporary life developing on a grand scale of
remix and hybridity from border-crossings, identity and gender diversities,
genre and gene mixtures, to cyborgs. The hybrid creates our identities,
shaping a new modernity. It is a culture of remix, an era with a boundless
field of reactivation. The sky has no limit. It is a wide screen constantly
changing, fading, and evolving. The sky is the screen of cyberspace. Within
its vast repertoire, one can retrieve and recreate, copy and delete. There
are no more limits, only infinite possibilities.

Unlimited connections among cultures and peoples from the wide scope of the
world bring new signs and symbols to transform the cityscape. Our infinite
choices are reflected in fashion, entertainment, food, and the arts. New
telecommunications open alternative channels between people. Boundaries are
dissolving and re-establishing in nanoseconds. By sharing a culture of
remix, we now live under one big sky and are collectively facing an
unknowable future.

Satellite events: Taipei galleries and artist-run spaces will develop a
program of special events.

Curators:

Jérôme Sans is co-director of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and adjunct
curator at the Institute of Visual Arts in Milwaukee (Wisconsin) USA. He
co-curated "Snowball" for the Danish pavilion for the 48th Venice Biennale
in 1999 (a Jason Rhoades and Peter Bonde collaborative project), curated
"Streetlife" at Project Row Houses in Houston with Rirkrit Tiravanija, Nari
Ward, Jens Haaning, Chen Zhen and Joseph Havel. In 1999 he also curated
"Wide Screen" a film program made by visual artists in Tokyo and other
Japanese cities; and several different Pierre Huyghe exhibitions (Museo
Serralves in Porto-Portugal, Kunstmuseum in Aarhus-dk, Weiner Secession in
Vienna-Austria).

Manray (Wen-Rwei) Hsu is an independent art critic and curator based in
Taipei. He is a contributor to Art Asia-Pacific, Flash Art, and major
Chinese art magazines, and has organized exhibitions including "Back from
Home" (1997, Bamboo Curtain Studio, Taipei), "Thing-Made Things" (1998, IT
Park, Taipei), "Exhibition of Chang Hsiao-chien and Hsia Yin: Two Youngest
Artists in History" (co-produced w/ Ralf Schmitt, 1999, Hua-shan Cultural
District, Taipei), "Frogangsters: Group Exhibition of an Indefinite Number
of Frogs" (1999, Cities on the Move, About Café, Bangkok), and "H.M.L."
(2000, Art Beatus Gallery, Vancouver).

Mit einigem Bedauern und ziemlich wütend muß ich mitteilen, daß die für
heute nacht geplante Helikopter-TV-Sendung ausfallen muß.  Der Grund liegt
in der Inkompetenz der kulturserver.TV-Leute, die mich bis zwei Stunden vor
der geplanten Sendung nicht darüber informiert haben, daß ihr Computer
keinen funktionierenden Videoeingang hat, weil "jemand bei der Party letzte
Woche einen Drink in den Rechner gekippt hat".

With some regret and extremely pissed off I have to inform You that the
Helicopter-TV-program scheduled for tonight will not take place

due to the incompetence of the people at kulturserver.TV Until two hours

Los Angeles, CA and Philadelphia, PA - Free Speech TV, the Independent Media
Center (IMC) and Deep Dish TV present "Democracy Now" and "Crashing the
Party" - two live television programs covering critical issues and the
massive
protests surrounding the upcoming Republican Presidential Convention in
Philadelphia (7/31 - 8/3) and Democratic Presidential Convention in Los
Angeles
(8/14 - 8/17).

Unlike corporate media coverage, this groundbreaking programming will expose
issues from the perspective of the activists, thanks to a full time
satellite
channel recently acquired by Free Speech TV - Dish Network Channel 9415.
Both
programs will be made available to over 20 million households nationwide.

Amy Goodman, award-winning host of DEMOCRACY NOW, will simulcast daily on
FSTV's satellite channel, the internet, on public and community TV stations
across the country, as well as on Pacifica's affiliated radio stations, from
8 -
10am EST.

CRASHING THE PARTY, the Independent Media Center's prime time programming
(9 -
10:30pm EST) will include daily news reports with live press conferences by
activist spokes, updates on street actions, interviews, and performances by
young artists. Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) and Project
Censored
are also set to provide critical analysis of corporate media coverage of
events.

An Independent Media Center was organized in 1999 by a coalition of
independent
journalists and media activists to provide grassroots coverage of the WTO
protests in Seattle. IMCs have since been established internationally in
Australia, Belgium, Great Britain, and Mexico, as well as in Boston, Denver,
New York, and Washington DC. IMCs in Philadelphia and Los Angeles will
provide
a collaborative work place for independent journalists producing
documentaries,
a live website (www.indymedia.org), internet radio and daily newspapers
during
the conventions.

The goals of the IMC satellite broadcasts are to help activists and other
marginalized voices break through the corporate-owned media's information
blockade, and to effectively shift the terms of national debate heading into
the U.S. presidential election season.

Subject: meeting against "Fortess Europe" in Sicily, 23-30 July 2000

AGAINST THE NEW LAGERS OF THE "FORTITUDE EUROPE", FOR THE EVERYBODY'S FREE
CIRCULATION. 
CAMPING OF STRUGGLE 23-30 JULY 2000, MARZAMENI (SYRACUSE) 

As sicilian comrades, we think urgent to take back that run of struggle
that had brought an ample and variegated against razism movement to go down
in road, in the different Italian cities, against the Turco-Napolitano law
and for the closing of all the centers for migrant. 
But the racist politics of the "centro-sinistri" governments are go framed,
 how all the mobilizations of the following months have shown, as one of
the aspects of the wild neoliberista offensive that makes the firm Italy as
the keeper of Europe of Schengen. 
In all these months we fought against the biotecnologies and the
globalizzazione, against the new strategies of control in the Adriatic sea
and the reorganization of the south side of the NATO, against the OCSE and
the new frontiers of the capitalism. 
It is born therefore the demand to connect the against racism question with
 A more depeened and collective analysis that supports methodologies of
fight that are able to go over the expirations imposed by power and  
the massmediatica theatrical tightly to a conception of political acting
that makes of image and not of the contents his founding  reason. 
At the same time we think the moment comes to assemble all our attention
whereas the contradictions emerge with great evidence. 
In what places are the social contradictions historically and economic
exploded if not in the "points of frontier"? Today like always Sicily
represents a point of caesura between the north and the south of the world,
between opulence and poverty, between included and excluded ones, between
community and extracomunity ones. Today more than everthe Sicily is a place
of deceptive comfort fomented by false promises and place of real economic
and cultural medioevo, place of cathedrals in the desert and job not
protected: the most delirious expression of the incongruity of the economic
neoliberista model. 
On the one hand, Sicily is armed outpost of the Europe of Schengen and the
south side of the Nato, subject to the community legislation in economic
field and in the social one; on the other hand, it is land of capitalistic
exploitation and depredation, of anachronistic forms of poverty and of
chilling  
disparity of class. 
In a similar context the war between poor, functional to the control of the
frontiers, finds a fertile ground. Our land, since always crossroad  of
people and cultures, now assists indifferent to the armour-plating of his
coasts and to fires of the clandestines. The indifference more than the
racial hate is the feeling manifested by the local population toward the
destinies of thousand of women and men that forced to the hunger try to
reach our coasts, 
Often ending secluded in the centers of detention. 
Indifference toward the fate of whom the media bombardment describes like
clandestine, illegal and as such not having peer dignity and law of
citizen, often victims of the exploitation of Italian middle class, forced
to inhuman conditions of work as low cost and not protected manpower whose
the most elementary laws are also denied,  victims of organized crime and
for this make guilty by more fascist logic of propaganda of which they are
unaware tool, especially in the electoral campaign, to disorientate the
masses and to focus  
the anger against fatidical enemies external, victims of the capitalistic
system as the unemployed person, the precarious ones, the workers, the
students, the pensioners and the women of our country. 
Indifference that doesn't have any motive to not only exist for a passed
that has seen us all emigrants but for a present that mainly in the South
sees us immigrates or local, regular or in nero, all victims of the whims
of the globalizzazione, subjects to blackmail of the precarizzazione and of
flexibility. 
An infinity of inside and outside migrants flows intersect, subdued to the
demands of the work market, this is the only  logic that subtends the
Turco-Napolitano law, functional to the regulation of the migratory flows
in relation to the changing demands of the capital, for a vast front that
goes from the left of government to the Confindustria, the migrant one can
be now a dangerous clandestine to stop and to repatriate; in another moment
an important resource of low cost and not protected manpower. 
To this front another one must be contrasted , founded on the solidarity of
class that sees us all united, regular and clandestine ones, jobless and
precarious in the struggle for the income and for the house, for health and
for  all the services, against the Idra of the capitalism and his thousand
heads that  are called Berlusconi or D'Alema, Confindustria or CGIL CISL UIL. 
That's why a camping of struggle and discussion in Sicily, unitary for all
the antagonist groups, but free from hypocrisies of whom sees in the c.p.t.
not places to close but places to reform and manage in name of an
interested assistenzialismo that doesn't belong us. 
A camping to find again our times and ways of comparison and reflection, to
center the debate on the immigration and in the same time to extend it to
the thousand themes connected to it. 
We think besides that the camping must have its culminating moment in a
national demonstration in Trapani, because Trapani is one of the
obligatory stages for the one that, his despite, is forced to seek fortune
in the West. Trapani because here, inside the Serraino Vulpitta, our
brothers died, killed by the fire and by the indifference, in one of that
places that the new minister Bianco (Sicilian besides) still dares to call
nor jails neither hotels. 
For the indizion of the demonstration in Trapani, we fix the base already
proposed by different Sicilian groups: 

- to close the Serraino Vulpitta immediately, together with all the other
lagers of state, against every hypothesis of reform or substitution of the
actual cpt with places of softer detention; 

- immediate substantial change of the law Turco-Napolitano; 

- to open the frontiers to all the migrant, against every law that deludes
to be able to regulate the inalienable law to move freely that belongs to
everybody. Because the victims of the economic inequalities, produced by
the neoliberista west and the political refugees, persecuted by regimes
with which the west and our country often makes good business, are
received. For a world without frontiers where everyone can circulate freely; 

- to guarantee house, health, occupation and conditions of work more
dignified, beyond of the difference of race or sex ; 

- to really create a multicultural society, in which  spaces of meeting and
relation, and not places of contenzione, can be multiplied; 

- to fix our no to the repressive and fascist politics of the  minister
Bianco and of the government Amato; 

- an immediate and definitive sanatoria for all the migrant present in the
our country.
