“Seeing Sound”: artists leading us to sound perceptions.
10 guest artists: discussions, experiments & workshops.
 
sound/symposium/city
 
Soundlab #3 – Seeing Sound – curated by Caroline Daish and Julie Pfleiderer, is 10 days investigating the border between Sound and Performance.
 
Where do they meet? Where do the two artistic communities meet? Who manages to cross or move within both areas and how? What type of work or encounter does this create? What is the body of knowledge around this? 
We would like to approach this in the context of Soundwalks inviting an expansive definition of the form Soundwalk.
 
First week: 14th – 18th May. 15 - 18h each day. Walking, listening, talking. Different locations moving through Brussels + Constant, nadine, Pianofabriek.
 
We have invited 10 artists to present a walk or talk about performance and sound, composing and using ‘found sounds’. Artists include Joanna Bailie, Paul Craenen, Caroline Daish, David Helbich, Roel Heremans, Simon Loeffler, Noid, Julie Pfleiderer, Carlotta Scioldo & Jason Sweeney.
The complete program for the first week with venues and content for each walk and talk is available next week. It is open for everone interested and free of charge. Please subscribe for each day under: soundlabbrussels@gmail.com
 
Second week 21st – 23rd May, 10-17h: Workshop with Ant Hampton.
 
"Fantasy Interventions" is a workshop on imagination and writing for site-specific theatre and live urban interventions. For artists and practitioners from a wide variety of backgrounds - theatre-makers, sound artists, actors/directors, as well as choreographers, stage-designers, architects, poets and writers.
What can assist us in conceiving performance for locations outside theatre buildings? What sort of imagination is required for this kind of performance? What does it mean to balance fantasy with feasibility?
With a focus on observation imagination and writing and involving walks in the city, discussion, film and photography the workshop culminates with a series of presentations.

“Seeing Sound”: kunstenaars (bege)leiden ons naar geluidswaarnemingen.
10 gastkunstenaars: discussies, experimenten & workshop.
 
sound/symposium/stad
 
Soundlab #3 - Seeing Sound - gecureerd door Caroline Daish en Julie Pfleiderer, zal gedurende 10 dagen de grenzen van Sound en Performance aftasten.
Waar ontmoeten deze twee disciplines elkaar? Waar ontmoeten de artistieke gemeenschappen elkaar? Wie slaagt erin om de grens over te steken of beweegt zich op beide terreinen en hoe? Wat voor werk of ontmoetingen brengt dit teweeg? Welk kennisveld is reeds ontwikkeld?
Wij benaderen deze vragen in de context van Soundwalks - waarbij we een brede definitie hanteren van wat een Soundwalk kan zijn.
 
Eerste week: 14-18 mei, elke dag van 15u tot 18u. Wandelen, luisteren, praten. We verplaatsen ons naar verschillende locaties in Brussel - Constant, nadine, Pianofabriek.
10 kunstenaars presenteren een walk of talk over performance, sound, compositie en het gebruik van ‘found sounds’. De deelnemende kunstenaars zijn Joanna Bailie, Paul Craenen, Caroline Daish, David Helbich, Roel Heremans, Simon Loeffler, Noid, Julie Pfleiderer, Carlotta Scioldo & Jason Sweeney.
Het volledige programma voor de eerste week met de locaties en inhoud van elke walk en talk zal vanaf volgende week beschikbaar zijn. De eerste week van soundlab is gratis toegankelijk voor iedereen. Gelieve wel voor elke dag in te schrijven via volgend emailadres: soundlabbrussels@gmail.com
 
Tweede week 21-23 mei, 10-17h: Workshop met Ant Hampton.
"Fantasy Interventions" is een workshop over de verbeelding en het schrijven in kader van in situ theater en stedelijke live interventies. De workshop richt zich tot kunstenaars en professionelen met verschillende achtergronden - theatermakers, geluidskunstenaars, acteurs/regisseurs, choreografen, scenografen, architecten, dichters en schrijvers.
Wat kan ons helpen bij het bedenken van een voorstelling die zich buiten de schouwburg bevindt? Welke verbeelding hebben we nodig voor deze performances? Hoe balanceer je fantasie en haalbaarheid?
Met een focus op waarneming, verbeelding en schrijven bevat de workshop walks in de stad, discussie, film en fotografie en eindigt het atelier met een reeks presentaties.

“Seeing Sound”: artistes nous guident dans le monde de la perception sonore.
10 artistes invités:discussions, expérimentes & ateliers.
 
son/colloque/ville
 
Soundlab #3 – Seeing Sound - organisé par Caroline Daish et Julie Pleiderer. Le but de ce laboratoire sonore est d’explorer, 10 jours durant, la frontière entre le son et la performance.
Où les deux se rencontrent-ils ? Où se rencontrent leur deux communauté artistiques ? Qui franchit la frontière qui les sépare et comment ? Quel type d’œuvre ou de rencontre cela crée-t-il ? Quel type de connaissance en ressort ?
Nous tenterons de répondre à ces questions dans le contexte des soundwalks , tout en remettant en jeu les limites du ‘déambulations sonores’.
 
Première semaine : 14-18 mai, de 15 à 18 h. Marcher, écouter, discuter. Dans différents lieux en déplacement dans Bruxelles + Constant, Nadine, Pianofabriek.
Nous avons invité 10 artistes qui proposeront une déambulation ou une présentation à propos de la performance et du son, de la composition et de l’utilisation de sons trouvés. Artistes invités : Joanna Bailie, Paul Craenen, Caroline Daish, David Helbich, Roel Heremans, Simon Loeffler, Noid, Julie Pfleiderer, Carlotta Scioldo & Jason Sweeney.
Un programme détaillé des activités de la semaine sera disponible prochainement. L’atelier est ouvert et gratuit pour tout le monde. Veuillez s’inscrire tout les jours via: soundlabbrussels@gmail.com
 
Deuxième semaine : 21-23 mai, de 10 à 17 h. Atelier de Ant Hampton.
L’atelier Fantasy Interventions sera consacré à l’imaginaire et à l’écriture dans le cadre du théâtre spécifique à un lieu et des interventions urbaines. Il est destiné aux artistes et intervenants de différentes provenances : artistes sonores, comédiens et metteurs en scène, chorégraphes, scènographes, architectes, poètes, écrivains…
Qu’est-ce qui peut nous aider dans la conception de performance en dehors des théâtres traditionnels ? Quel sorte d’imaginaire est nécessaire pour ce type de performance ? Où se trouve la frontière entre la fantaisie et le faisable ?
Basé sur l’observation, l’imagination, et l’écriture, ainsi que des déambulations dans la ville, cet atelier se conclura par des présentation par les participants.

[EN] Euroaxacan Inititative of Transformative Cultures (EITC) is a European-Mexican collaboration which connects art and traditional – as well as future – crafts, while bridging the gap between the digital, mediated and corporeal world. The overall aim is to function as a catalyst of socio-economic transformations induced by transcultural production.

EITC centres on the community workshops of the township of Zegache Sta Ana, state of Oaxaca, Mexico – renowned for restoration of traditional artefacts, as well as contemporary artists’ interventions. The community workshops fulfil a crucial role in the creation of work opportunities and the establishment of an economic outlook for socially-challenged rural areas.

EITC extends the current activities of the community workshops to include electronics, digital media and permaculture. Cultural production is intertwined with business development in order to guarantee a sustainable continuation of the project. The goal is to create an example with international relevance of how to encourage artistic creation, protect cultural identities and secure sustainable local economies.

nadine is happy to announce its participation within Resilients - a project with the support of the Culture Programme 2007-2013 of the European Union:

Resilients fosters cultural resilience by blending diverse European traditions with emerging arts & technologies, strengthened through intercultural exchange of people, ideas & works. Resilients are cultural workers of all ages preparing for uncertain futures by studying & experimenting with new models of living & working as a form of artistic practice.

Resilients consortium includes 2 artlabs, 3 artist-run organisations & an academic institution, from Austria, Belgium, Slovenia, Sweden & the UK, with their international networks. Each partner has a specific approach to resilience, adding value to Resilients's transnational collaboration. The project provides the partners with an opportunity to empower cultural workers to engage with Europe-wide cultural resilience, while functioning as a compelling narrative to engage with diverse public contexts.

Resilients has four primary motivations: to collect, create, share & support the development of resilient creative practices, that can contribute to the long-term sustainability  & prosperity of European culture. Current and historic models of resilient culture are collected in residencies & field trips. These models are integrated with contemporary artistic forms, in five case studies - experiments with new materials, media & technologies in the context of endangered crafts, urban gardening, sustainable forestry, contemporary pilgrimage & future readiness.

Theoretical reflections on collecting & creating, together with their practical applications are bundled in the "Resilients Handbook". For the duration of the project, the process & results of Resilients are shared at public events & online.

Support of resilient creatives takes the form of workshops, gatherings, apprenticeships & meetings. These activities provide a stable foundation for Resilients's long term vision: to form a transnational support infrastructure - ‘Guild of Resilients’ - a fellowship for learning, experimentation & reflection on atemporal, resilient creative practices.

Brenner Passions (BrennerMan) by Various Artists is a journey from Austria to Italy, a performance and a publication on the move. 14 train trips between Verona and Kufstein (Tyrol, Austria) in 7 days, where VA will gather information, and impressions through observation, and conversation, to process in different installations in train stations,  and hotel rooms.

The performance brings both a tribute to one of the last train routes in Europe where despite cost-benefit analysis we can still travel as described in numerous travelogues (Raymond Roussel, John Hillaby, Bruce Chatwin. David Thoreau, etc. ..). On the other hand VA will work on a reinterpretation of Romeo and Juliet performed in different Hotel rooms in Verona.
