<dis.location> is a joint project by the Museum of Contemporary Art - Zagreb, the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, the Zagreb City Museum and the Netherlands Embassy.
<dis.location>
Exhibition shows works of Croatian participants on postgraduate study of the fine arts at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. In the framework of different authorial aesthetics a common invisible link has been found through artistic treatment of location, i.e. issue of identity.
There is a common link among the artists mentioned above though they lived and worked temporarily in different social and cultural surroundings, which usually contain different historical moments. This confirms the thesis that 'nineties' in the Croatian art, caused by the war activities, did not appear until the very end of respective decade. Kranjic started his two years study at the Rijksakademie in 1989, Fritz in 1990, Kadoic in 2001 and Rascic and Maljkovic in 2003. When mentioned the years have been observed through 'locally burdened perception of time', average citizen in the Croatia will connect these years with the outbreak of the war in Croatia.
A very interesting social situation has been created when artists, immigrants, treat a theme of location in their work, re-examining their own and collective identity. Themes of the exhibited works are mostly explicit social ones which includes approach of 'private is political'. 'Contemporary investigations into identity in the visual arts have had to be aware of sliding into the fixed positions which institutions and curators like to see. This has met negotiating identity on three levels; the level of oneself, the level of others and the level of regulatory discursive practices. Performance and time-based art with stress on the momentary and the contingent have proved to be remarkably relevant and appropriate to this set of careful negotiations.'[1] Inside of the art production showed common theme 'location / territory' through different formal aspects. Exhibited works are released mostly in the time - based media of mobile pictures [video art, documentary films]. Theore!
tician Arjun Appadurai quotes that: 'in the era of globalisation, the circulation of media images and the movement of migrants created new disjunctures between location, imagination and identity. ... Many social locations throughout the world, especially those characterised by media saturation and migrant populations, 'moving images meet mobile audiences', thus disturbing the stability of many sender-receiver models of mass communication. ... Migrants have a complex relation to the practices of memory and, thus, of making of archives ... Memory, for immigrants, is always a memory of loss.' [2]

Represented works:
Darko Fritz: 'Home', graphic / art poster, from the Migrant Navigator project, 2002.
The 'Home' poster consists of an image of 'Home' icon from Netscape Navigator browser. Unlike the original 'Home' icon here is printed in black and silver and white. It is blown-up to 2 x 2 meters and displayed at white background [variable dimensions up to billboard size]. At first showing, the posters are displayed at the commercial billboards close to Croatian borders. Apart of 'Home' icon there is no further information at the poster. Here is no other product behind this advertising campaign; i.e. the poster is advertising its own image and message.
Darko Fritz: 'Crypted TV porn', video installation, 1999.
'Crypted TV porn' is a visual composition of crypted [coded] TV signal dislocated into the physical space [of the art installation]. TV broadcasters crypting the video signal for one which don’t pay subscription fee. Nevertheless such a signals are present in both the air and at the Amsterdam TV cable. In particular, TV programme with hard-core porno films was recorded. Within unregular rhythms of distorted and noisy moving images of unsynchronised video signal the image processing just happened by itself: polarisation, black and white and colour negative inversions, image moving out of frame horizontal and vertical, strobo- effect etc. Only occasional freezing of the video-image were used in the video editing. Additional random video-effect happened during the transfer of analogue to digital video image.
Darko Fritz and Kristina Leko: 'Speeches', video, 1991.
Documentary on young people from Croatia from art-and-culture circle from Zagreb who finds them in September 1991 in Amsterdam during the outbreak of the war in Croatia. Fourteen individual portraits are made using 'image in image' video technique. The first level using 'one-shot' video and sound while the other image has several sources suggested or made by portraited persons.
Ana Kadoic: 'Reconstruction', video installation, 2002.
One-channel video projection shows extreme-slow-motion video image of few seconds of real-time event extended into 15 minutes. Image shows a number of small magnets colliding from a position of a regular pattern into the state of chaos, randomness. From that state process was also 'brought back together' by reversing the shot. The whole experiment was consisting of putting magnets to face each other’s equal polls, which means they would 'reject' each other. In those condition author was trying to organise a regular pattern, going against their 'inner collective order - code'. The event of collision, when the state of regularity suddenly bursts into chaos takes a split second. In that moment each magnet takes completely unpredictable path to take place in a new order, and each one of those collisions seems to be a 'random, individual case for itself'. The sound of colliding magnets is also 'stretched' and follows the image in slow motion.
Svebor Kranjc: 'Zagreb Virus 1990,' conceptual action, 1990.
Subversive action 'Zagreb Virus 1990' has been held at 'Youth Salon' exhibition in 1990 in Zagreb. Accompanied and supported by his friends Kranjic registered for the exhibition lot of artistic works with a susceptible quality and in the different styles. Jury 'passed' for the exhibition several works and at the exhibition Kranjic personally gave to the exhibition visitors his own publication in which he explained entering of the 'virus which body did not recognised', demystificated part of the authorships of exhibited works and part of them left undiscovered.
Sever Kranjc: 'Net', video, 1995.
Documentary on making and understanding of the Tibetan sand-Mandala, uncovering striking similarities between the ancient Tibetan knowledge and contemporary Chaos Theory and digital culture.
Svebor Kranjc: 'Profession Refugee', video, 2000.
A documentary film with refugees from Bosnia, Somalia, Croatia, Tibet, Yugoslavia, Kurdistan and Iran who are living in The Netherlands, with representative of UNHCR and with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama as a special guest. News archive material of various refugee crises in the world is edited together in a story of war, danger and escape. Then film shift to Amsterdam was Ms. Nives Rebernak is presented. She is a founder and director of 'HOME for peace and non-violence', a refugee-oriented grassroots organisation that has functioned within her own living room since 1991. During the ex-Yugoslavian wars hundreds of people have literally found refuge in this apartment, disregarding their national and religious differences. The film goes on introducing personal reflections of ten refugees from all over the world, all currently living in the Netherlands where they managed [or not!] to integrate in the Dutch society. Film culminate with the private audience with the 14th Dalai!
Lama in Den Haag, a 'veteran refugee'. Chinese Army has driven Dalai Lama out of Tibet in 1959.
David Maljkovic: 'Paintings with a secondary roles', from the opus 'Paintings with a limited premeditation', oil on canvas, 2002.
Both paintings contain secondary figures taken from the painting 'Coronation of the King Tomislav' made by Oton Ivekovic in 1904 - 1905. These secondary figures supports main narrative motive in the original scene of the historical picture. In the Maljkovic's work they are in the new subjective ambient. Meaning of the dislocation spreads with the contents of the picture. Pictures are changing their meanings depending of the location of the exhibition. Painter said: 'painting is never exhibit in its own last ethape unless it is exhibit in the museum. Galleries are always preparation for the next journey for the picture. I think that picture does not have its own ended exhibited space. In same pictures with a limited premeditation polysemantc occurred but not to mystify pictures but to let absence in the existing motives. To let a painting to take a breath away and to avoid offered unpleasant visions.'
Lala Rascic: 'Locations': 'Location 1', 'Location of Memory', 'The Gorge', video, 2002 - 2003.
>From the series 'Location' three works have been shown using split-screen video technique. Theme of the location has been taken like a motive, which is different in every picture. Lacation as phenomena has been taken in the physical and geographical sense and in the aspect of Lefevbre's spatial practice [space as a ground of all aspects, elements and moments social impact] and like a memory. 'Location 1' consist of parallel registration of a private space at home and location of temporary accommodation of a homeless people in Varazdiin, place where this work will be exhibit for the first time. 'Location of Memory' contain parallel view of zoom-in photography of a flat in Sarajevo where the artist spent her childhood and the reconstruction of the same space, by memory, in the form of vector animation. 'The Gorge' show two aspects of the same location of wood's landscape with a short appearance of the author with her dog. In all works locations has been discovered through the!
artist's subjective feelings. Documentary objectiveness has been reviewed analytically through [zoom-in] enlargements. New contents have been constructed through the relationships of two pictures in split screens.

events from May 15-18, 2003 conceptually located at the intersection of
information networks and post-modern architectonics; while physically
located in Latvia in Riga, as well as in Karosta, Liepaja and at the VIRAC
Radiotelecope in Irbene.
> conference: media architecture
The Media Architecture international conference will take place in Riga,
from May 16-17. Discussions will include: how lessons from the social
dynamic of 'virtual 'networks, can be applied to the creation of open,
public physical spaces; designs for process-based architecture, and hybrid
spaces; and how mapping/positioning and wireless networking impact on
notions of space time and social organization.
> design concept and performances in media space: light affair
Taking place in a central, but derelict section of Old Riga the theme of
'transformation of place' through networking (both physical and virtual)
will be manifest in the conferences various facilities through
installations, include evening programmes of media synesthesia (visible
sound/audible light), as well as by the official initiation of an ambitious
engineering project for the creation of Media Space - a new headquarters
for RIXC.
> closing programme: acoustic space lab
Finally, for the closing section of the festival, participants will be
brought to the Irbene Radio Telescope, a former Soviet military satellite
dish (d=32m) where participants from the 2001 Acoustic Space Lab symposium
will present the DVD "RT-32: Acoustic Space Lab" and audio CD of their
interpretations of data they gathered from scanning the planets,
communication satellites and surrounding environment with this powerful
telescope.

RIXC Media Space, 11. Novembra krastmala 35, Riga
> Opening of festival exposition:
[1] MATRIX - interactive installation by Luke Jerram (UK), using patented
retinal after-image technology to create virtual light sculpture within the
mind of a viewer
[2] REAL TIME RIGA - project by Waag Society (NL) and Esther Polak (NL),
co-produced with RIXC (LV). Every inhabitant has an invisible map of the
city in his head. The way he moves about the city and the choices made in
this process are determined by this mental map. For first time RealTime
project was set up in Amsterdam, in fall 2002; now the project is restaged
in Riga. RealTime project attempts to visualize these mental maps through
examining the mobile behaviour of the city's users.
[3] PSYCHOTRONIC GOVERNMENT - maps by Bureau d'Etudes (FR)
[4] SOFT CINEMA - a dynamic computer-driven media installation by Lev
Manovich (US). The viewers are presented with an infinite series of
narrative films constructed on the fly by the custom software. Using the
systems of rules defined by the author, the software decides what appears
on the screen, where, and in which sequence; it also chooses music tracks.

Subject: 242.PILOTS @ American Museum of Moving Image
American Museum of the Moving Image
35 Avenue at 36 Street, Astoria, New York 11106
Thursday, May 8
7:30 p.m.
242.pilots Performance
The three artists who comprise 242.pilots, HC Gilje (Norway), Kurt Ralske
(U.S.), and Lukasz Lysakowski (Poland), use laptops and custom-made software
in live performances to dynamically generate video and sound. Their
performance will be structured as a series of solos followed by the group
working collaboratively with a guest musician, much like a jazz ensemble, to
create a layered image and soundscape. The resulting composition evolves
through creative exchange and non-verbal communication. Described by The New
York Times as "an intriguing, compelling alliance of sound and motion," the
group's current DVD project, 242.pilots Live in Bruxelles, won the 2003
Image Award at Berlin's Transmediale festival. This event is cosponsored by
Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center. Tickets ($12 public / $8 members)
can be purchased in advance by calling the Museum at 718-784-4520.
Subway: R or V trains (weekends, R or G) to Steinway Street. N or W train to
36 Avenue.

Subject: FREEDOM FESTIVAL in CHICAGO
Hi all..
This is a not-so-early-warning announcement of a super grass roots
Do-It-Together no budget radical summer camp thing we are
organising for June in Chicago called FREEDOM FESTIVAL... We need some
advice and inspiration. It is a follow up to and is related to another
festival I work on called Version. http://www.versionfest.org
We want to rev up and rejuvenate a wandering and depressed movement.
Ok.. So:
Freedom Festivals are gatherings of artists, thinkers, activists, citizens
and friends who wish to celebrate and strengthen, through performance and
art, music , discussions and theater, the spirit and intent of the founding
documents of this state and other free and democratic societies -- freedom
of expression, pursuit of happiness, freedom from persecution, and other
various civil liberties.
FREEDOM FESTIVAL is an open attempt to use our remaining rights, understand
how to keep them, and reclaim the ones we have lost.
FREEDOM FESTIVAL is a gathering of cultural, social, and artistic
communities seeking to expand our networks, challenge the dominant
assumptions, strengthen our activities, and work towards defending our
rights to work outside, beside, or without the privatized life.
Creative responses, satiric guerrilla theater, infowarfare, music,
workshops, video screenings, performances, debates, talks, and fashion
coalesce into one evening to help kick off a Summer of Reaction and
Resistance to Un-american Activities
FREEDOM FESTIVAL is a look at Free Speech, Open Cultures, Do-It-Together
media, and tools of expression. Itąs a forum to discuss strategies used to
create and facilitate:
o media making
o alternative spaces
o direct action
o culture jamming
o Smart Meming
o community activity
o innovation in music
o artist activities
The festival will be a sampling of the multiplicity of campaigns and
gathering of groups trying to shape and participate in a world we want to
live in.
FREEDOM FESTIVAL is a moment to celebrate the projects and campaigns and
people that have been on the front lines defending our freedoms, in our
streets, in our spaces, at home and in our minds.
FREEDOM FESTIVAL is a party.
FREEDOM FESTIVAL will take place June 20-22 at Buddy, Wicker park and on the
streets. We are looking for groups and individuals that want to
share their work, projects, and ideas.
Please send us:
o performance ideas
o workshop ideas
o media to screen, hand out, listen to on kiosks
o posters, paintings, stencils agit prop devices to showcase
o facilitated debates / presentations
* web-based initiatives and campaigns
* info about bad-ass groups and projects going on that we should check out
There is main space that will feature, video screenings, a surveillance
fashion show and performances. (the party area.)
There is room for tabling, installations, presentations, and to show work,
like posters and photos as well as areas for workshops and talks.
We want to utilize the time and space of the summer to see how many
activities can be sustained and acted upon here in Chicago and beyond..
Proceeds from the fest are going to fund a mobile structures project and a
tour of the Resistance camp along with a Version>04 Invasion/Occupation tour
this fall to promote radical activity and an invasion and occupation of
Chicago in May 2004.
