![]() ¹ Jaap Scheeren (Nijmegen, 1979). Photographer, lives and works in Amsterdam. In his own works as well as in commissioned work he tries to stay on the narrow path of reliability. He is focussed on the estrangement and pretty environment and its inhabitants. He made three publicatieons, The Black Hole (i.c.w. Anouk Kruithof), Oma Toos, a Slovakian fairytale book called 3 Roses, 9 Ravens, 12 M onths and together with Hans Gremmen a research into printing called Fake Flowers in Full Colour. ² The Mother Road is a five hour compilation video made from screen captures from the famed Route 66 as seen through Google Streetview. Hans Gremmen took 151.000 screen captures following the iconic Street View arrows up the Route 66. Starting from Chicago, traveling down through the American landscape to Los Angeles like a true road movie. You jolt as if in a car when the transitions between images are a bit rough, and you can see the car swerving dangerously to the wrong side of the road, but there is nothing you can do but sit back and ponder about who's driving you. The Mother Road is the longest stop-motion movie ever made with footage from Google Streetview, and provides a surprising and unique inisight on the American landscape. 26. May Aki Onda – concert 7. – 8. June Owen Land/Apollo Jize – exhibition HALLO GALLO – pre-SOTU night DIAMOND CATALOG (US) Diamond Catalog is the duo of Lala Conchita and Pat Maherr out of Portland, Oregon. Their music is a concoction of cross-bred dance music and mutated, swirling noise bricolage. Factory-booming beats creating a mechanical-yet-organic framework for devious sonic chatter to wind its way through. Imagine the sound of a distant rave in the midst of a disorienting drug spell, wading your way through the infinity of your mind's own dark matter. PAK (US) Rhode Island print & noise artist Lauren Pakradooni performs solo as PAK, where she manipulates scratchy four track tapes & contact-mic'ed machines into a loopy bliss - sometimes like salt on a margarita glass, sometimes like grit in a canvas shoe. She likes hair, crooked things, zombies and oil slick. There's some pretty incredible posters she's made out there, plus her sonic output is grippable from the indomitable Breaking World Records. + Lipreader on draft DEATH presents: #1 – Isabelle Vaverka, Sunrise, Sunset – Harrell Fletcher, Blot out the sun 7pm – midnight ↓ DEATH presents: #1 – work by Tina Schott – a video by Gillian Wylde – and a film screening/talk by Bissy Bunder ![]() DEATH presents: #1 – 88 Days of Fortune (Toronto) – ABSTRACT RANDOM – KJ – Brendan Philip – Moemlien – DJ Tiny Shot – DJ Kristy Foom – DJ Boris Becker – Margarita O (visuals) – ÄCKL-Felicia (tv) – Maria Minervia (videos) free, at Goleb (Burgmeester de Vlugtlaan 125) from 9pm WaarWoontWestFest – Christian Tan, Cello 9:30pm – midnight Monthly tasting night ITALIAN CRAFT BEER – Birra Del Borgo – Birrificio Lambrate – Extraomnes – Birra Montegioco – Birrificio Rurale 7:30pm, costs 7euro &, &, &, &, &, &, &, &, &, &, & Walking along, but more importantly, looking down while walking along. The ground that you see when you are on your way --- home (from a night out), or the other way – to work perhaps? You might be interested in letters, the things that usually [seem to] go back on themselves. You are always looking for things that remind you of them, things that change your conception of them – things that will lead to new designs, new formal solutions, or simply comforts making you feel less bad about yourself. Sometimes these things are best found by chance, or better, by detritus. Detritus with limits. These things you might want to collect, carry around with you; in your phone's memory. 'Hey Now!', assembled by Jens Schildt and designed together with David Bennewith, is the second booklet in a series of publications dedicated to the typographical 'And'.

Emilia Bergmark Balthazar Berling Emma Olanders Julio Reyes Montesinos Valentine Siboni – five performance-lectures Bettina Köster In 1979 Bettina Köster and Gudrun Gut opened the Eisengrau store in Berlin, a meeting point for the local underground and venue for exhibitions, concerts, super 8 films, machine knitted sweaters and a cassette label of the same name, which released recordings of "genius dilettante" groups Einstürzende Neubauten, Die Tödliche Doris, Frieder Butzmann and Köster and Gut's own band Mania D (with Beate Bartel of Liaisons Dangereuses). All these groups were at the time pushing the definition of music to its limits, creating new forms and unheard sounds within a self-organized network. Mania D later became Malaria!, who's song "Kaltes Klares Wasser" got covered by Chicks On Speed. In recent years Bettina has played with New York's The Vanishing and Autonervous. In 2009 she released her first solo album "Queen Of Noise". Don't miss this very special performance! Mittland och Leo Mittland och Leo is a duo consisting of Antwerpian Joke Leonare and Milan Warmoeskerken. They create instrumental songs with melancholic organ and Casio sounds, echoes and a rhythm box. The music sits seemingly simple in another, perhaps the reason why this psychedelic organ exotica sounds so refreshing. Their debut 7Ó has been released on Ultra Eczema.

A no-man's land stuck in the middle of East Germany, it was an island where anyone who wanted to escape the West German military draft or who wanted easy welfare money could go. This formed a subculture of riffraff, anarchists, drug abusers, squatters, political activists and subversive artists that became the creative drive behind the city. There was no place even remotely like it. A far cry from the stylized ghost of such a movement that Berlin is today. Much like Amsterdam, it is another city that is living off its past reputation. BERLIN SUPER 80 is a documentation of the early 80s Berlin subculture, featuring works from the city’s vibrant underground cinema scene which embraced the home movie format of Super 8 as a viable low-budget outlet for their creative expression. Ranging from punk to the ingenious dilettantes, this is a retrospective of audio-visual Berlin featuring “Die tödliche Doris”, “Einstürzende Neubauten”, “Malaria” amongst many others.

We will ‘step into a blue funk’ to make a conjecture about how Jarman saw colours through this transient visual effect. From this purely subjective experience, we can understand a bit more about colour vision and how the brain acquires knowledge about the world we live in. I will then introduce a web-based study, in which we ask participants to name, in their language, what colour they see, with the aim of developing a novel colour-naming application that facilitates colour communication across cultures. – screening/lecture (8pm) Tar...feathers* (Markus Nyke) – 4 euro – concert (doors 8pm) Elementen (Thomas Langedijk, Mikael Bergman) + Michael Jackson - Julien's Auction's: The Collection of the King of Pop – book presentation mike watt + the missing men – the concert will take place at KAFANA, nieuwezijds voorburgswal 240, amsterdam – concert – with works by Rinus van der Velde, Raymond Pettibon, Felix Schlag, Jheronimus Bosch and James Earle Fraser – exhibition (Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 240, 12pm - 8pm)
13 Screen tests (presented by Jeffrey Babcock) – Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol shot nearly 500 screen tests, beautiful and revealing portraits of hundreds of different individuals, from the famous to the anonymous, he recorded all of the visitors to The Factory. Subjects were captured in stark chiaroscuro by a strong spotlight, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film. The resulting two-and-a-half-minute film reels were then projected in slow motion, resulting in a riveting collection of four-minute "portraits". Here are 13 of the 'screen tests'; presented in a crisp black and white photography. The subjects included are Paul America, Susan Bottomly, Ann Buchanan,Nico, Jane Hozler, Lou Reed, Billy Name, Edie Sedgwick, Richard Rheem, Dennis Hopper, Ingid Superstar and Mary Woronov. The Screen Tests are presented with newly commissioned soundtracks by Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips (formerly of the band Luna). – screening (9pm) Momus: Happy Cult Tour – 5 euro – concert/performance (8pm) Axel John Wieder – Wieder is a freelance curator, former artistic director of the Kuenstlerhaus Stuttgart and co-founder of the bookstore Pro QM in Berlin.
