MediaScape Biennale Zagreb
30. September – 23. October 2012
mediainmotion.de received confirmations by the co-curators:
On 1st of November we will start the preparation phase of TACTICAL TOPICS – TOPICAL TACTICS
While the city or the urban area is regarded as the area of development, fast progress, and in addition the absent-minded, superficial and disconcentrated perception, the area of the “landscape” is in contrast the place of peace, collection and leisure. In the countryside outside the city the perception of space and time win other values.The landscape encourages for curving: the view, the hearing, the smell and the thoughts win perspective, which the area of the landscape opens. This leads also to a slowing down and a sensory perception, to a concentration, which is another as those of the city.The area outside of the city or outside of the life sphere of humans generally is not characterized by civilization, but by natural conditions: Apparently ordinary: the brook, the tree, the meadow appear in new light, the murmuring water, the noise of the wind kidnap urban humans into another reality. In the countryside there is still a horizon. Here prevails a liberty of view over the restricted city view. The city has structure, pictogram forests, a silhouette perhaps, but no horizon. In the landscape however the horizon is always there and lures into the distance. The horizon is everywhere, has 360° and more. Novigrad is a town, but circled by an immense countryside and great perspectives of the Adriatic Sea.The connection of this reality with the possibilities of current art work, the bridging between nature and civilization and between technology and art is the starting point of Media-Scape 2008.

Yasemin Nur T.
With the contribution of YNT News Agency
“God is my recorder” is in progress… I will be back to you April 7 – 29, 2011 Opening: April 7 Thursday 2011, 18:30
The exhibition by Yasemin Nur T., “’God is My Recorder’ is in progress; I will be back to you”, which can be seen in Apartment Project between April 4 – 29, is an outcome of the recording process. As a planned activity, the artist presents the representation/imitation of the recording action itself by various means such as continous recording, converting the recording into text and re-recording the whole process again. “Tracing the evidence of hidden entities I typed those chats while I listened them. I capture my computer screen as video while I am operating. The whole operation is an echo of recording performance. Today I believe to record and document as a chronicler is an action which creates chronic absence. It seems like being under the spell of spelled. Now I am listening over and over these talks for anectodal purposes. We are all in this together.”

CONCEPT
Apartment Projects aim had been to collectively create and produce different voices in exhibitions based on workshops. These workshops include people who have all formulated their own languages within their own fields. Project Free Fall, in this point, is an attempt to create a different experience, open up a new path in these workshops, namely to create a new language/practice by way of changing the structure and working out of workshops by the means of new technological developments and digital resources.
To this end, Apartment Project formed the platform of freefall-apartment.blogspot.com , which will work as a virtual workshop place for the artists where they can share their productions without the necessity of coming together in the same physical working/production place. With a 15 days of virtual workshop process, this project shelters the documentation of the everyday life practice, writings, images, sounds, texts and the life-effecting dynamics of each artist. It is the falling of individual memories of artists into this platform by following up each other that draws the conceptual framework of Free Fall which is in effect a kind of online personal sketch book or diary. These interactively fallen materials came together in this virtual platform until the end of the workshop process (15.03.2010) as a serial of works in which artists interact with and response the works of each other.

Abstract for a feature-lenght docu-fiction by mediainmotion.de
In 1969 Jozip Broz a.k.a.Tito and Bob Guccione, owner of the Penthouse Magazine, met on Titos private archipelago “Brioni”. They drove around these sub-tropical islands with the pink cadillac convertible, which Tito got as a a present by J.F. Kennedy. Between the exotic aninals like giraffees, lions, elephants, gazellas and others they spent a great time. Later in the evening, after some bottles of excellent rakija, they spoke about common future plans. Guccione admired the splendid atmosphere and the beauty of the yugoslav mediterrenean coast. There was only missing a casino, So they came to the idea to build the first one in the communistic world. They both agreed on a never written contract. It stated, that Tito will build a bridge to the island of Krk and an international airport, while Guccione´s part was the erection of a casino-hotel plus the delivery of enough female pets. What first looked like a weird fantasy became later reality in the complex of “Haludovo” with it´s central 5-stars luxury “Hotel Palace” in a Ken Adam like set-up design for a “James Bond” film. They both finished the day with a last bottle of rakija and woke up the next morning with a hang-over.
Some guerrilla gardeners carry out their actions at night, in relative secrecy, to sow and tend a new vegetable patch or flower garden. Some garden at more visible hours to be seen by their community. It has grown into a form of proactive activism or pro-activism.” (from Wikipedia)

In September/October 2010 I was invited by mediainmotion for a stipend at MediaScape in Zagreb.
Day by day I was strawling around the foreign city.
After three days I realized that my way was daily crossed by a guy with a red suitcase.
So I decided to follow him. After a while I realized that all his places to go were somehow related to Art.
I followed him to the Ministry of culture, the Museum of Contemporary Art, to the HDLU, a round artbuilding in Zagrebs old city and different little galeries in the heart of the city. I became his shadow for two weeks. Without knowing he showed me around the city. We never talked to each other.
I left Zagreb without knowing anything about this person.
It remained a secret what he carried in his red suitcase.

Nora-Louise Müller (Germany) has collaborated with numerous well-known composers in her intense occupation with contemporary music, including performing in the Composer in Residence program at the contemporary music festival chiffren – Kieler Tage für Neue Musik.
In 2007, she began working with an extraordinary instrument: the Bohlen-Pierce clarinet which uses a (very!) different harmonic tone system. As one of only five clarinetists worldwide who perform on this particular instrument she was invited to enrich the first Bohlen-Pierce conference in Boston, Massachussetts in 2010 with her performances, and will be playing this radical instrument in festival DaNes.
12 September
Bernhard Mikuskovics (Austria)
“Just as the manifold beauty of light reveals itself in the spectral colours of a rainbow, we experience the manifold beauty of a single tone in the sound colours of its overtones.”
Overtone singer and multiinstrumentalist Bernhard Mikuskovics started to research on ethnic instruments after graduating from a school for graphic design & printing processes and has been working since then extensively on various eclectic art projects surrounding music, painting and literature.

Jens Mügge, Germany
Jens Mügge sang as a child in various choirs. He started to play traditional folk songs and melodies on the jaw harp. At that early period he did not know that jew’s harp playing is a kind of overtone music. Additionally he began to learn didgeridoo and was introduced to overtone singing 2001, developed his style of overtone singing on his own, and increased his knowledge of polyphonic harmonic singing by Wolfgang Saus in 2004. Now he accompanies his overtone singing with guitar, Jew’s harp, tambura, sansula, kalimba, springdrum, shrutibox, singing bowls and indian harmonium.

More InformationThe exhibition *Diverçity**.** **Learning from Istanbul** *takes the city as a resource of fictive narratives, private (hi)stories, dreams and desires, still in the process of recreations, and speculations. Here, poliphony and fragmentation make one unable to grasp the city in a fixed formula, becauseas the exhibiton claims, urban and architectural potential is continuously re-constructed by negotiations, by individually-organized temporary systems, by the local adaptations and phenomena of the everyday practices in which innumerous strategies of survival (mostly considered as informal in thesystem) are created.
