TAKE the CAKE : The Sponge By April Gertler

 

TAKE the CAKE : The Sponge By April Gertler

Thursday July 13, 2017 at grüntaler9.

All are welcome. No reservation needed.

Fäcebook Event

This performance lecture runs within the program of the Berlin Food Art Week 2017. The whole program and more information about BFAW online.

TAKE THE CAKE: The Sponge is a Lecture Performance meets Cooking Show. By using the structure of the Cooking Show, the platform explores this year’s topic of Food Art Week, vs. Meat. The Sponge includes a mix of the practicalities of how to actually make a Sponge Cake combined with a feminist discourse discussing the political, social, historical and nutritional implications of the egg, not only as an ingredient but as a key biological element in human reproduction.

April Gertler is an American artist who has been living and working in Berlin since 2005. April’s work is preoccupied with the idea of the experience of a communal moment as an access point. That point of departure is, but not limited to, the making of things and events, occasional curation, and more currently, performance.

She has exhibited and taught internationally. April keeps a few socially engaged practices running on a month or bimonthly basis – projects which include; Sonntag (a monthly even which invites an artist to show their work and April along with her collaborator make that artist’s favortie cake), in addition to DETLEF (manchmal eine Bar, immer um 21Uhr), is co-initiated with Hannah Goldstein, Julien Villaret and Adrian Schiesser.

In September 2016 April was awarded a research grant by the city of Berlin for her newest project TAKE THE CAKE. This project mixes the lecture performance format with a baking show.

held in the between ::::::::: by Rae Goodwin

29 May 7-8pm
The performance lasts for about one hour.
All are welcome at any time.

Fäcebook Event

There is great precarity in life and sometimes the greatest undertaking we can offer is stand up. Stand with resilience, with all of our everything to be witnessed, in silence, with determination, allowing others to see fragile humanity. Perhaps more so than ever, in the story under which we humans sway, we must stand. Continue reading article →

The project is entering its 3rd phase which uses artistic methods developed through conversation as navigational instruments that we don’t (yet) know how to use.

Performance Monologues – an oral encyclopedia on performance art by ieke Trinks

ieke Trinks, Performance Monologues, in exhibition Het Bos en de Zalen, 
organized by Frans van Lent_Dordrecht the Netherlands, 2017, photo by Koos Siep

Performance Monologues – an oral encyclopedia on performance art
by ieke Trinks

Fridäy May 19

6-7pm (on time and by donation)

Fäcebook Event

Performance Monologues is an ongoing collection of audio recordings and live recitations that started in 2016. Trinks visits artists and asks them to describe one of their performances from memory while she records them. The recordings help her to recite the monologues from memory before a live audience. This is often done during an art event, but also in more intimate situations with one or more listeners. Trinks recites the monologues in the first person because they are in the first person when delivered to her.

Trinks started to collect the monologues for a number of reasons. First, she had the experiences of failing to describe her own performances to others in a satisfactory way. Second, she wanted to get to know the performance works of others by hearing about their experience of doing the work. Third, the question of documentation interests her. Fourth, the monologues are a way to explore the relationship between the mediating and mediated subject. And fifth, is the way in which a monologue actualizes a performance by means of memory that appeals to her.

Trinks is going to recite the Performance Monologues based on the recordings:

#17 Confrontation by Odun Orimolade
#34 Age (skin-color) by Anja Ibsch
#29 (T)here by Hiroko Tsuchimoto
#5 In the Absence of a Body by Diaz & Lewis

Program will take about an hour.

ieke Trinks is a visual artist based in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Malmö, Sweden. Her performance art is presented in several countries in Europe, South America, Canada and the USA. She’s part of the performance collective TRICKSTER and organizes PAE (Performance Art Event) in the Netherlands with artist Nina Boas.

Matters of Act ::::::::: ACT 2: After-The-Fact Rehearsal

Matters of Act ::::::::: ACT 2: After-The-Fact Rehearsal

Friday March 31 from 7:30pm

Süpperclüb after 9pm

Fäcebook Event

New York based publisher ALREADY NOT YET, run by members of NO COLLECTIVE, is organizing four book release “Acts” in Berlin and Cyprus to launch the publication of their new journal MATTERS OF ACT, and a new philosophical question-and-answer-and-drawing book ARE WE HERE YET? written by a four-and-a-half-year old.

The second Act on March 31 will be an “After-the-Fact Rehearsal” of the first Act—a panel discussion about MATTERS OF ACT—at the same venue and with the same members which aims to achieve through contrivance and pretense what the first Act realized so naturally.

Conversation will again focus on the problems of “act” (both in the sense of action and pretense) and “future” (the featured topic of the journal’s next issue), but will also incorporate comments, suggestions, questions, and instructions revolving and resolving around the resemblance (or not) of the present Act to the now-absent one. Participants of the first Act who cannot make it to the second Act will be replaced by effigies (stuffed animals or lego figures), and treated as if they are there.

Panelists will include Johanna Gilje, Teena Lange, Joël Verwimp, Natália da Silva Perez, Lindsey Drury & You Nakai, and the evening will be moderated by two Already Not Yet authors: a very impatient six-year-old Aevi (“Are We Here Yet?”), and a very patient sexagenarian Roland Albrecht (“Museum of Unheard (of) Things”).
