Urban Research 4 | Urban Interference
Fri 19th 6:00 pm
With urban interventions, artists try to play a more active role in society than just showing in a gallery space. The reasons and aims can be manyfold. Some artists see themselves as “political activist” and try to change politics and society; others just try to reach a different, more divers audience; or, they like to realize a seemingly impossible dream. All of them,...

“Panic! It sounds like a toy box turned up side down. How can she make such pretty & chaotic sounds!? I love it!” - Ryuichi Sakamoto
What on earth is a kyoka?
Simply a solo artist whose cut-up-and-dance laptop electronica suggests more screws loose than fully tightened? Her style has seen her labelled as anything from a pop idol to a noise artist. And as it is...

Urban Research 3 | The Symbol's City Life
Thurs 18th 6:00 pm
The success of modern cities as social entities is connected with the liability of relative security and trust in the social contract between citizens. As Jan Philippe Reemtsma states: “If I happen to drop into a violent situation, I will neither be made responsible for not being armed, nor for not being able to defend myself.” (memory-quoted). Although this unwritten...

Dreams Come True | Zsolt Keserue
Tue 16th 6 pm
Zsolt Keserue HU “Dreams Come True” 24min 00sec 2009
In Dunaújváros, a city inhabited primarily by workers, most forums of culture are practically unknown to the majority of the population. The number of puplic spaces that feel authentic to young people are - similarly to any settlement of this size - meagre. Thus, what is left is playing music together,...

Urban Research 2 | The Latin City
Sun 14th 6:00 pm
The European image of Latin America, especially of Mexico is distorted; the mainstream media only repeats those images situated between the extremes of violence and poverty, and of exoticism on ethnic culture. Little does their audience get to know about the traditions of Latin modernism and maybe even less of the contemporary art scene. This program has an emphasis on...
