Burroughs and will talk about this and show her images during her lecture. As part of the photo festival, she is exhibiting her project "Re-Visions" that is conceptual images and constructions with a hint of a young girls rather naughty mind and some pre-post-feminism. It is better and edgier than Cindy Sherman and more clever and raw than Duane Michals. Marcia will also do a live photo shoot as part of the workshop and you will also be able to buy signed copies of her book and original prints.
- Victor Bockris
Victor Bockris is first and formost a writer who was tld by Andy Warhol that he

MUSE ME a series of consecutive dance/music performances – each one of the 7 songs of the collected work – Cabaret D
Sharing across continents, bridged by live broadcast of a performance created beyond boundaries, Muse Me is a model of cosmic spiritual connectedness and communal conciousness : asking how does one dance, and how is music generated, mused? ..
When dancing, a time forray into the future occurs. The dancer invariably dances to the future, hearing beyond time, what will come next. Will experiment with creating an energy flow beyond spatial boundaries, a collaboration to create, compose, perform and dance. A musical score of a prerecorded beat with fluidity will serve as a guide to a relationship of creating together without heirarchies, parallel and entertwined like dna - A memorial of life and birth.
Each performance is enacted through connecting a dance box , located each time in a new neighbourhood, in the public space, to an elsewhere located music setting through the internet, whilst audiences witness the performance in a third location. A 3m x 3m dance box will move through the city for new performance settings each month, starting with Mckibbin Street in Brooklyn, followed by other parts of the city ( Washington Square, Tompkinson Square, and Union Square are possible locations for the next performances )
The first of the MUSE ME series begins at 15pm on Saturday 25th July in Mckibbin Street, Bushwick , during a weekend block party / Art Fair, organized by the community of 700 artists living in Mckibben Lofts.
Mckibbin Street
Mckibbin Street is located in a predominatly Hispanic neighbourhood bordering between housing projects and Williamsburg Industrial Park, where a recent ‘creative gentrification’ of the neighbourhood is creating a tension between the artists and the local inhabitants.
An event which can promote understanding through sharing in the community is one of this weekends wishes. Audience are invited to participate and share food whilst viewing / hearing the performance as it is enacted / created real time. Funding

PRIMUS EROTICA - A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS STORY
To be screened at The Gershwin Hotel with Neke Carson on June 23rd 2009
– Ode to Ishtar and Dionysus a film by Suzette Gemzøe and Thomas Seest, Transcendens Dilettante, Copenhagen 2009
Primus Erotica is a celebration of the forces of love and sexuality represented by two major gods Ishtar and Dionysus. Before Christianity, there were temples and rites for these matters, but Christianity transformed the gods into witches with major consequences for our emotional life. Playing with fire is a natural ingredient in all spiritual rites and has always been considered a dangerous act.
Three feet, three candles
8 edged star
"We have seen the new Lars Von Trier film; Anti Christ, and felt a need to outlive a symbolic spiritual rite, free from Christian interpretation - we are not Christian, nor anti-Christian, we are dealing with matters that concern 5.000 years of human civilization".
Recipe (for two persons)
2 persona 2 apples alcohol sugar and cinnamon primus cooker and white spirit harmonica fire (add cigarettes and wine according to temperament and style)
Gently peel apples, preferably in one long peel, until naked. remove the core and cut the apples in half, horizontally so that a star appears on each half. expose the apples to heat and fire, until dark and soft and consume them with alcohol. thus ingesting an ancient love potion and redirecting your senses with the drug of alcohol you will both synchronously enter the ever persisting realm of sexual energy, mutual desire and quiet, weightless ecstasy. here Ishtar rules alongside Dionysus, forever nursing an eight pointed star of fire that will eat you up, possess your bodies, liberate your senses, purify your minds and enable unified transcending energy.

ULTRA GRØN PÅ WONDERLAND ART SPACE "Dét edderbixme teltede..."
ULTRA GRØN ER: --Morten Leck Plesner og Christian Elovara Dinesen--
"I 2005 boede vi på samme tid i Barcelona, begge for at arbejde med kunst. Som et sideprojekt opstod en ide om en overlevelsestur i bjergene nord for Barcelona. 5 hårde dage med dåsemad, tømmerflåds bygning, overnatning under åben himmel i klippesprækker, garn graffiti og alt for lidt vand m.m. Resultatet, sygdomsperioder for begge, den ene slemmere end den anden, men ikke desto mindre opstod et samarbejde og en fælles interesse om oplevelser og kunst i naturen..".
-Ultra Grøn er social interaktion, non profit, gør det selv -Ultra Grøn udforsker, undersøger, bygger, maler, handler og tager ansvar -Ultra Grøn skaber æstetiske værker i naturen, på gaden, eller i udstillingsrummet -Ultra Grøn arbejder for en gennemskuelig kunst som de fleste kan forholde sig til -Ultra Grøn giver lyst til skabe oplevelser og interaktion med dens miljø -Ultra Grøn har desværre to onde tvillinger, som vi ikke tager ansvar for
Said about KERIM "For those of you who like Johnny Cashes Rubin-produced albums, Kris Kristofferssons "This Old Road" and bands/atists such as Nick Cave have got another artist to hold onto through dark, impenetrebele and rainy nights” and “With a presence worhty Leonard Cohen Kerim Arhans voice i spellbinding and the arrangements are a perfect match. Kerim could very well become Swedens answer to Nick Cave”
"We are whirling through endless space, with an inconceivable speed, all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere there is energy. There must be some way of availing ourselves of this energy more directly. Then, with the light obtained from the medium, with the power derived from it, with every form of energy obtained without effort, from the store forever inexhaustible, humanity will advance with giant strides. The mere contemplation of these magnificent possibilities expands our minds, strengthens our hopes and fills our hearts with supreme delight."
- Nikola Tesla, 1891
Below from The Orion Project
We live on a planet that is consistently producing a magnetic field that can be tapped into to power our everyday needs as a virtual free energy source. Through interactions between the inner core of our Earth and that of our Sun, there exists an enormous and vastly untapped source of power.
Nikola Tesla was among the first inventors to successfully extract and make use of this source. By pulling out electrons from the earth and surrounding atmosphere and amplifying the energy using a specific design of coils, he was then able to transmit approximately 100 million volts over an initial distance of 26 miles and illuminating a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran an electric generator, all without the use of transmission lines. Later, he nearly perfected this technology only to have it seized by groups that wanted the device destroyed and the knowledge hidden.
(Bowie as Tesla)
An inventor have recently been identified who has studied and understands this concept. He wishes to remain anonymous at this time, but his background is excellent for this work. The goal is to produce a proof of principle device that is capable of fully powering homes, offices and buildings. Once a successful device is produced, the technology behind the power generation will be scalable to run smaller equipment such as computers and mobile phones, and larger items, such as vehicles and large machinery.
20:12 is a projects space in northwest corner of Copenhagen's Meatpacking District. It is located above the nightclub Kødboderne 18 (Meat Huts 18) in what used to be a restaurant school educating chefs to cook food. It will open on Thursday the 19th 2009 at 12 minutes past 8pm. There will be an art exhibition, musical performances along with spoken word and a party to celebrate and talk about the plans for the space in 2009 & 2010.
Islak Köpek’s original lineup of Korhan Erel (computer, electronics, melodica), Şevket Akıncı (electric and acoustic guitars), Volkan Terzioğlu (tenor saxophone) and Volkan Ergen (percussion, computer processing) had their first performance in the summer of 2005. Following a series of performances at Galataperform and Jazz Cafe, Dirk Stromberg (electric guitar) and Robert Reigle (tenor saxophone) joined the band in January 2006. The six-piece band played regular gigs at Galataperform as well as other venues and also did some recordings, some of which released as their first album at the end of 2008.
Volkan Ergen left in the summer of 2006 to pursue other musical interests. The five-piece band played at Transit Improvisation Days with Le Quan Ninh and Kirstie Simpson, and Yanaël Plummet in June 2006, followed by a sold-out concert at the Akbank Jazz Festival in September 2006. Dirk Stromberg left the band because of teaching opportunities in Vietnam in 2007.
The remaining four members continued playing venues and making recordings, particularly with musicians such as Richard Nunns, Christian Asplund, Olivier Germain-Noureux throughout 2007 and 2008. They performed at the Body-Process festival A.M.B.E.R. and the second Transit Festival. The band also performed and continues to do so with guest improvisors from the flourishing Turkish scene, such as Umut Caglar (proprietor of the first Turkish free jazz/improv online label www.rekonstrukt.com), Florent Merlet, Alex Toisoul, Jose Blasco, and David Brosset, all members of the Turkey-based French improv band Have You Seen My Bird.
2008 saw the joining of Dilek Acay on violin, who has been a steady member until her departure for studies in Germany end of March 2009. Kevin Davis on cello is a permanent member as of February 2009.
Islak Köpek have been doing a show on free improvisation and free jazz on Açık Radyo since May 2006, where they interviewed musicians such as Christian Asplund, Richard Nunns, Chris Cutler, and Kevin Davis. The band members performed in different combinations, including other artists in Turkey, the Netherlands, Romania, France, Belgium, Poland, Austria and Germany.
Islak Köpek’s line up as of February 2009 is:
Robert Reigle: Tenor saxophone Volkan Terzioglu: Tenor saxophone Dilek Acay: Violin Kevin Davis: Cello Sevket Akinci: Electric guitar Korhan Erel: Computer, electronics, melodica, cracklebox
Islak Köpek have released their first album in November 2008 on A.K. Müzik (www.akmuzik.com). The album features live and studio recordings of the six-piece band in 2006.
The Turkish name "Islak Köpek" means wet dog and was also part of the projects first installation in Istanbul 2007 during the 10th Istanbul Biennial and performed inside The Hall.

Mille Kalsmose har udstillet på kunstmuseer, kunsthaller og gallerier i Istanbul, New York, Barcelona, Budapest, Kanagawa i Japan, og blot i år har man kunne opleve hendes værker i Berlin, New York, Eivissa og Bratislava. Det går med andre ord rigtig stærkt for den unge og talentfulde kunstner på den internationale kunstscene. Nu har Mille Kalsmose for første gang et solo show herhjemme, hvor hun kan opleves med udstillingen Outrospective i Wonderland Art Space.
Mille had the part of "Angel" in the film "Red's Pyramid" as part of The Triangle Project Part 3 in New York. Part of the "Outroperspective" project was installed at the Karsi Sanat exhibition in Istanbul called "Fill in Blank Space". She also exhibited her daring to fly installation (above photo) at the "Grounded - Was Man Meant to Fly Exhibition" show at ABC No Rio.
The below is a question by Yildiz Akdogan (above) to the Danish Cultural Minister (at that time Mr. Brian Mikkelsen) regarding how hard it is for artist to get a visa to Denmark. She actually mentions The Triangle Project and the problems we had getting our Turkish artists to Denmark back in April 2007.
Spm. nr. S 1726
22) Til kulturministeren af:
Yildiz Akdogan (S):
Mener Kulturministeren, at Danmark lever op til sine UNESCO-forpligtigelser?
Skriftlig Begrundelse
Danmark har ratificeret »UNESCO's konvention om beskyttelse og fremme af de kulturelle udtryksformens mangfoldighed«. På trods heraf lyder det fra flere danske koncertarrangører, at reglerne for visum til ikkeeuropæiske kunstnere er så rigide og bureaukratiske, at man i flere tilfælde har måttet aflyse koncerter, fordi det har været umuligt at få et visum til de internationale kunstnere.
"Tak til kulturministeren. Jeg vil egentlig gerne starte med at remse to sager op, for muligvis mener kulturministeren, at vi lever op til vores forpligtelser i UNESCO-konventionen, men jeg kan så henvise til Kulturnyt fra den 25. april i år, hvoraf det fremgår, at billedkunstneren Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen havde inviteret en række kunstnere fra bl.a. Tyrkiet, hvor hensigten var at lave et såkaldt Triangle Project med besøg i henholdsvis New York, Istanbul og København, og der har Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen udtrykt bemærkninger om, at det har været enormt svært på grund af visumreglerne. Jeg citerer ham ordret: Vi fik lige lov til at være her og rejse hurtigt tilbage igen. Og det er altså et projekt, som varer over 3 år. Det synes jeg er lidt betænkeligt. Plus det at en af kunstnerne ikke fik lov til at komme herop, på grund af at han både var kunstner, altså musiker, og studerende. Det kan man så også tænke over.
Det andet eksempel, jeg vil tage op, er, at Peter Hvalkof, som er arrangør af verdensmusik for Roskilde Festival (og booker på GLOBAL CPH), siger, at man allerede i udvalgsprocessen faktisk tænker over, om det kan betale sig både sagsmæssigt og proceduremæssigt at få bestemte kunstnere fra bestemte lande herop, og det er egentlig meget bekymrende, når man tænker på, at man allerede i den her planlægningsfase skal tænke over, om det kan betale sig, fordi der er den risiko, at koncerterne kan gå hen og blive aflyst på grund af visumreglerne.
Som ministeren også korrekt sagde, så er der nedsat den her ekspertgruppe i EU-regi, som vil kigge på det, men det er først til december, der skal kigges på det. Nu er vi i sommerperioden på vej mod festivalarrangementer og byfester, og trods ministerens begrundelse med, at det hører under integrationsministeren, vil jeg egentlig gerne spørge: Overholder vi virkelig UNESCO-konventionen? Det er kun to eksempler, jeg har nævnt, der er mange flere."

Gordon Inc's World - Istanbul
Gordon Inc who was part of Part 4 in Istanbul has since October been writing his own blog called "Gordons Verden" or Gordon's World or Mondo Gordon..
In the short text below from one of his posts, he salutes Istanbul:
"Istanbul, min elskede. Jeg har kun kendt dig en lille måned, alligevel har du brændt dig ind i min sjæl. Istanbul, jeg har stridt op ad dine stejle trapper og ned ad stejle gader, for at nå ind til dit hjerte, men dit hjerte er endeløst, troløst og alt for stort.
Oh, Istanbul, du har kørt mig træt som ingen anden kvinde. Du er altopslugende og udmattende og altomfattende. Istanbul, du er larm og dyttende gule taxier og mylder, hullede gader og forfald.
Istanbul, du er i hver eneste af de millioner af magiske katte som det siges at sjælene fra fordums indbyggere, overvintrer i. Istanbul, du er den sitrende rastløshed og den evige strøm i Istiklals myldende menneskemængder en hvilken som helst dag eller nat i alle døgnets 24 timer.
