Fool Me CD launch

Fool Me CD launch

1st April, 8 for 8.30pm start till 11pm

The Buff Club, 142 Bath Lane, Glasgow

FREE

The launch of Fool Me plays host to an evening of eccentric song, sound toys and spoken word:

10pm Jules Rawlinson (Pixelmechanic) will sound-sculpt a glitched-out cut-up dub with Bupp!!, Boiingg & Blinkk

9.30pm Eilidh's Daily Ukulele Ceilidh always has time for a fine rhyme or three. Foolish songs sung to the delightful plinky-plunky sound of the bonsai guitar.

9pm Cath Hoffmann, one half of Molly and Me and absurd vocal performer, will be trapped into spluttering reluctant words, fragmented songs and messy slip ups in an attempt to be the scapegoat on April Fools day...

8.30pm The Tremenduloes, a duo, sing and play acoustically, quite quietly and not too fast. They sit down to play - sometimes they have to lean forward a bit.

Fool Me CD artists:

01 Shiori Usui

02 Joan La Barbara

03 Martin Parker

04 Zoë Irvine

05 Paul Rooney

06 Wounded Knee

07 Jordan Baseman

and specially commissioned soundtoy, Bupp!! by Jules Rawlinson

A Fools in Print and New Media Scotland event:
Fools in Print is an artist-run press based in Scotland, edited by Lucy Keany. The press was established to show works by an international cast of artists and writers, working off the premise that each issue will shift both in brief and format.

Fool Me was commissioned for New Media Scotland's DRIFT audio art programme. New Media Scotland is a national development agency fostering artist and audience engagement with all forms of new media practice.

Collective Gallery Press Release - Roll it to me

Press Release

Tuesday 10 March 2009

Roll it to me
14 March  - 9 May 2009

Roll it to me is a new group exhibition at the Collective Gallery featuring video work by Pil and Galia Kollectiv (London), Team PingPong (Berlin) and Tim Etchells (Sheffield).
 
The Collective Gallery celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and will be reflecting upon the meaning of a 'collective'. The Collective Gallery invited the artists in Roll it to me to examine what it is to work as (or part of) an artists' collective in the 21st Century.
 
Pil and Galia Kollectiv will be in the main two gallery spaces showing a video triptych. The third part of the triptych, The Future Is Now, is co-commissioned by the Collective Gallery and completes The Future Trilogy.
 
Team PingPong will be in The Guest Room and show Le PingPong d'Amour parts 1 and 2.
 
Tim Etchells is the art director of theatre company Forced Entertainment. He will show Erasure and So Small in the gallery reception area

ENDS/
Notes to editor

Pil and Galia Kollectiv are London based artists, writers and curators working in collaboration. Their artwork is primarily film, video and performance based and explores utopian discourses of the twentieth century.
http://www.kollectiv.co.uk/index.html
 
Team PingPong: The films of the German art collective TeamPingPong explore art’s ability to achieve political and aesthetic ideals. TeamPingPong self-reflexively satirise both the impracticality of idealist aspirations and the futility of realist conformism. "The films, entitled Le PingPong d'Amour take the form of an episodic mini-series in which members of the collective play a group of friends experimenting with living, loving and working communally."
http://www.teampingpong.org/
 
Tim Etchells had a base in performance and works across the mediums of visual art and fiction. He describes his practice as " concerned with live-ness and presence, with the unfolding of events in time and place."

About Scratch Video
Scratch Video was a British video art movement that emerged in the 1980s. It was characterised by the use of found footage and challenged many of the established conventions of broadcast television. Arising out of a turbulent decade that saw amongst other things the miners take on the Thatcher government of the day, Scratch was an appropriate and accessible visual expression for dealing critically and directly with the impact of mass communications on society. These videos tended to critique the institutions making broadcast videos, specifically those commercialised for young audiences, such as MTV. It represented a crossover between art and club culture, and Scratch was a common feature in many of London's coolest nightclubs, including the Ambulance Station, the Fridge and Brixton's Ritzy Cinema.

Today Scratch Video continues to be a popular historical form, maintaining a cult following in contemporary art video circles. For these screenings, Street Level have teamed up with Rewind to bring to Glasgow a selection of some of the groundbreaking works in this genre, including the Gorilla Tapes, the Duvet Brothers and George Barber. Other artists include John Maybury, Kim Flitcroft & Sandra Goldbacher, Jeffrey Hinton, John Scarlett-Davis, Akiko Hada & Holger Hiller, Chris Meigh-Andrews, Nick Cope

Scratch Video is one of a number of collaborations between Street Level Photoworks and Rewind

FW: Professorial Lecture at Edinburgh Napier University

Dear All,

 

Please see forwarded note about a forthcoming lecture at Napier below. Might be worth making students aware of this, as I know a good few in G Des and Illustration are interested in zine work. I’m told attendance is completely open but needs to be RSVP’d as space is limited and filling up fast. Might be worth scoping him out for a possible workshop or guest lecture in college at some point?

 

Best wishes,

 

Jonny

Subject: Professorial Lecture at Edinburgh Napier University

 

Dear all,

For those who received a blank email just now (for which apologies)...


You are cordially invited to Chris Atton's Professorial   
Lecture on 9 March 2009 from 6.30 to 8.30pm in the Lindsay Stewart  
Lecture Theatre, Craiglockhart Campus, Edinburgh Napier  University, Edinburgh.

The title of the lecture is Fanzines: Popular Culture and Creativity

This lecture will explore the rich history of the fanzine from its   
beginnings in science fiction to the diversity of subjects we find   
today. It will focus on fanzines devoted to popular music and   
highlight the contributions made by amateur writers to the   
development of critical writing about music from the 1960s, through   
punk to the present.  The value of the fanzine lies not only in it   
being a platform for the passion and expertise of individual fans;   
in its pages we can also see the origins of popular music journalism.

Chris Atton is Professor of Media and Culture in the School of Arts   
and Creative Industries, Edinburgh Napier University.

Please RSVP to events@napier.ac.uk.  Places are limited and will be allocated on a first   
come, first served basis.

We look forward to seeing you there.
