HIPSTAGRAM FTW - COPENHAGEN PHOTO FESTIVAL 2013

HIPSTAGRAM FTW*

In connection to the Copenhagen Photo Festival 2013, a competition and exhibition will take place called “HIPSTAGRAM FTW” with photos taken by photographers using Smart Phone APP filters.

The Triangle Project Part 7 and 8 has been involved with Copenhagen Photo Festival and one might call this project the 81/2 version of The Triangle Project.

The categories are:
- Landscape
- Portrait
- Everyday Poetry – in a series of at least 5 photos.



The use of Smart Phone filters in combination with Social Media, have made the act of
taking photos a new daily ritual and way of sharing life and situations with people in a Social Network.
Since there is no question that this is part of the future of photography, it will be highlighted, investigated and discussed as a new aspect for the world of photography.




The competition will be judged by the Directors of Copenhagen Photo Festival Rasmus
Ranum and Julie Navne Klitbo, the Photographer and Photo Editor of the Danish
Newspaper Politiken, Per Folkver and the Artist and Photographer Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen.

Instructions:
Send up to ten (10) images per photographer, either as individual photos or as part
of a series. The photos should be sent either one by one, or as a dropbox.com link to the
email address: hipstagram@copenhagenphotofestival.com

Take the photos during this lovely month of May 2013, or use ones you taken before and send them in no later than the 29^th of May, 18:00 Copenhagen time.

Once the photos have been selected for the exhibition, they will be printed and shown
as part of the official program of the Copenhagen Photo Festival 2013 and featured in Snap Magazine.
The Final winner of the single best photo or a series of five photos, will win the latest iphone 5 with a one year free mobile phone account.

On June 13 ^th 17:00 – 19:00 at Fotografisk Center, there will be a paneldebate with Director of Fotografisk Center Kristine Kern as moderator. There will be three short presentations of photography relating to

NEKE CARSON, COLETTE AND ANTON PERICH - WHAT ELSE CAN YOU ASK FOR?

FRESH FACES FROM THE 1970s

An evening of art, film, and conversation

Marc H. Miller of online Gallery 98 in conversation with

three boundary-pushing artists from the 1970s

NEKE CARSON.  As a performance artist and maker of objects, Carson’s

transgressive humor made him a media favorite in the 1970s.  His

provocative oeuvre includes: “guerilla performances” in Soho galleries

 without permission; his notorious paintings; and

audience-participation pieces that redefined the relationship between

viewers and art. Neke will explain all and show the short video “I Love You.”

Exhibition curated by Leeza Ahmady and Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen at LL Gallery 1998

Paintings, music video, projections, installations

COLETTE.  Famous in the 1970s for her sleeping performances in store

windows and art spaces, her live-in environments, her “fine art”

street graffiti for which she was once arrested, and her forays into

fashion and music, Colette was a familiar presence in both nightclubs

and museums.  She will share her art philosophy and introduce “Pirate

in Venice,” a short film about her recent participation in the Venice Biennale.

ANTON PERICH.  Always with his camera at hand, Perich was both a

documenter and provocateur in the 1970s.  He contributed to Interview

Magazine, and created new venues like his pioneering cable television

show and Night Magazine.  He also made paintings with “electronic

brushstrokes” created by a painting machine that he first invented in

the 1970s. Anton will talk about his paintings and screen excerpts

from his controversial cable show.

MARC H. MILLER.  Miller, whose website 98 Bowery, a chronicle of his

journey as an artist, curator and journalist in the 1970s inspired the

 recent New Museum exhibition “Come Closer: Art Around the Bowery,

1969-89,” is the host of the evening. Gallery 98 specializes in art

and ephemera from that period.

THE TRIANGLE PROJECT PART 9 - "Resistance Through Dreams" - DOME OF VISIONS - APRIL 27TH 2013

The concept of "Resistance Through Dreams" have been developed in collaboration between Gry Vorre Hallberg from House of Futures, Fiction Pimps and The Triangle Project artists.

There is a search going on right NOW, if we in Denmark have a reason to resist what is going on in our country. On Tahir Sqaure, there was resistance, that turned in to the Arabian Spring. In Zuccotti Park there was resistance, that turned into the Occupy Wall Street Movement, that later spread over America like a wildfire.

In Denmark, the latest resistance has been the teachers against the government and local municipalities. The teachers claim, that it was allready a done deal between the Government and the Municipalities before the Lock Out of thousands of children and teachers from their schools even started, is called a Conspiracy Theory.

Conspiracy Theorist is a definition that these days are given to anyone who does not follow the truths of main stream medias official reports. New Speak is being used by the politicians and 1984 has been removed from Amazon.com. Are all these facts or are they part of a dream, that by dreaming it and being aware of the dream, we are able to do something about? Can we control our dreams? If so, let's coordinate them as part of the future of The Triangle Project.

On April 27th 2013, the people behind The Triangle Project will host a lovely day, evening and NIGHT at Dome of Visions, that is placed on the exact spot of the legendary Copenhagen Restaurant and Beach concept called Luftkastellet.

The Dome of Visions is a Bucky Dome made out of Triangles and has throughout March and April 2013 been hosting a variety of events, conferences, workshops, concerts, performances and parties. On April 27th, the day starts at 2pm (14:00) with DJ's, Musical Performances, Dance Performances, presentations, Spoken Word and Beer tasting of the Eco Beer from "Rise Bryggeri" situated on the little Danish Green Island called Ærø. 

Sarah Armstrong, also in above video done for Dome of Visions, will be the first performer of the day, with her Hardcore Dance Performance Installation. After Sarah, DJ Rita Blue will set the tone of the rest of the afternoon with her lovely tunes.

Finn Andersen, who is The General Secretary of The Danish Cultural Institute will hold a speech and talk about the future plans for opening up a Danish Cultural Institute in Istanbul. The Spoken Word artist Claus Ankersen will perform his "No Comments" and after that the initiator and facilitator of The Triangle Project Jacob Fuglsang Mikkelsen will talk about the projects future plans in 2013.

These plans include The Triangle Project Part 9 at Roskilde Festival, where there will be performances by Triangle Artists at the ART ZONE area. 

These performances will be done in collaboration with SKIFT BANK DAG, (above) IBIS, Kommunal Dubplate Services/HVAD, 25CPW Gallery from New York, Sombra Projects, CO2 Green Drive, the New York photographer Brendon Stuart, DJ Copyflex, DJ Rita Blue and many more. The above Triangle will be created as part of the Parade Performance, where particpants will walk a route following the outline of the Orange Triangle. This outline will be painted by the CO2 Green Drive Smart Phone Application and shown live online.

When the day of the 27th of April turns into evening, Gry Nœhr Bagøien will do a lovely musical performance. After Gry, Yann Coppier, Runar Magnusson and Søren Raagaard will perform their Bolero Styled collaboration "All About Water". As the last performer, Karsten Phlum will perform his ambient sounds live, including samples from his new album.

From 10pm (22:00), Copyflex and friends (including Karsten Phlum) will play some booty shaking tunes with bass that will rattle the glass of the Dome. Allan Gram will set the Black Light just right and the bar will serve cold cheap beer.

WE LOVE NEKE CARSON

When Neke Carson moved to New York in 1969 after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design he exemplified a new type of artist schooled in the cerebral conceptualism of Marcel Duchamp and inspired by Andy Warhol’s expansion of Pop Art into film and multi-media events. Carson quickly established himself as a conspicuous participant in the Fluxus-infused downtown scene where distinctions between art and life, and the separation between performing and object making, were often blurred.  Although he was primarily a performance artist, Carson also exhibited objects in galleries.  Equally important was his realization that newspapers and magazines provided a new alternative venue through which ideas could be communicated and audiences expanded.

This online exhibition is devoted exclusively to Carson’s early art from 1970 to 1985, the period in which he first established himself as one of the art world’s original thinkers. It is a show filled with unusual masterpieces: psychologically-charged drawings that hint at impropriety; ephemera from guerilla performances staged in Soho galleries without permission; the notorious rectal-realist paintings created with a paintbrush in his behind; and objects connected with ventures like Carson’s LaRocka Modeling Agency and LaRocka Nite Club (later Armageddon) that functioned both as performance art and real-life business.  The works display Carson’s entirely individual take on things, his sense of style and humor, and the transgressive streak that has always kept him a little on the outside.

Gallery 98 is offering some of the best items from this early phase of Carson’s ongoing forty-year career. It is a challenging legacy not only because of the content of the works, but also because of the rarity of the objects due to a devastating fire in 1984 that destroyed much of Carson’s  early work.  Sometimes a printed announcement is all that remains from an important performance.  There exist now only a few drawings from these years and their intent is not aesthetic but as expressions of ideas. What survives is an intriguing and unfamiliar body of work that establishes Carson as one of the most interesting artists to emerge in the 1970s, a decade dominated by performance, conceptual and neo-Dada art.  And Carson continues to be active. For the last twelve years he has been organizing performance events at the Gershwin Hotel in New York; in 2008 he had an exhibition at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh;  and in 2009 he showed new photography at John McWhinnie @ Glenn Horowitz Booksellers, NYC.

Neke Carson--who is also a member of The Triangle Project--exhibited his work at the Copenhagen Photo Festival in 211.




The exhibition was at the DAMP Gallery in Copenhagen and the opening was well attended, as you can see in the above video, that also includes the video screening of Neke's "Inglourious Bastrds Oiano Performance" video.

ISTANBUL ALCHEMY 2013

"Public Address" begins on Friday The second cluster of events of the 13th Istanbul Biennial Public Programme Public Alchemy continues with "Public Address" on March 22 and 23. The public programme events aim to examine the ways in which publicness can be reclaimed as an artistic and political tool in the context of global financial imperialism and local social fractures. The public programme, "Public Alchemy", is organised under the co-curatorship of Fulya Erdemci and Dr. Andrea Phillips. "Public Address" The second event of the public programme, "Public Adress", will explore if it is possible to find and sustain spaces of freedom of expression in the context of a neo-liberalised public domain while questioning the relation between public speech and private power. Hosted by Fırat Demir, Burak Fidan, Eren Erdem, Cevdet Erek, Adbusters Media Foundation, Robert Sember, Dan Hind, and Lina Ben Mhenni "Public Address" will seek answers to the following questions:  > How are we addressed as citizens?  > What registers of address are used by politicians, professors and publishers to speak to us; what form does such address take and in which way does it flow? > Do so-called new media technologies offer alternative devices of communication or do they sustain existent hierarchiest of address, suggesting radical distribution but in fact maintaining power in the hands of the technologically enabled? "Public Address" will take place on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23 at Istanbul Technical University, Maçka Campus, C101 Conference Hall. For reservations, please send an e-mail to rezervasyon@iksv.org
