UTOPIA de Nina Hoechtl
"During rambling through the neighbourhood Lavapiés, where I lived in Madrid, I’ve found this empty, disused space called UTOPIA.
As a “country of nowhere” utopia is mentioned in a dictionary. Nevertheless for this country exists endless concepts that are possible to differ of a plain impossibility, as Robert Musil argues, because one can dissolve a possibility of the contemporary, prevented complications and grant its development.
Beginning of 2006 I’ve decided to print 500 photopostcards, that were distributed in its neighbourhood and mailed to people attempting to trigger thoughts about utopia. This blog got created in 2007: All the received answers are presented and interested people can react on them and blog their own ideas." writes Nina Hoechtl about the project... and you can find more about it at esquina utopia

feminist and queer festival
Ljubljana, Slovenija
KUD MREŽA
RDEČE ZORE / Red Dawns
Feministični in queer festival / feminist and queer festival
http://www2.metelkova.org/rdece/
The 9th feminist and queer festival Red Dawns is going to take place
in Ljubljana, Slovenia between March 5th and 9th 2008.
We are looking for artists and activists whose works and actions
question the "normality" of gender inequality, expected gender roles,
common sexual practices, heterosexuality and standards of beauty. We
are looking for works that speak about absence, invisibility,
exclusion, denial and disciplining of those bodies, genders and
sexualities which "do not fit" into the common sense "normality".
Since the 9th edition of Red Dawns festival is dedicated to its
audience, we are looking for works and events which try to actively
involve the audience. We are also looking for women with technical
skills (from car mechanics to webpage programming) who would be
willing to lead workshops and share their knowledge.
Send your propositions to rdece.zore@gmail.com until 15/01/08

CASA MUSEU LAURA DIAS
CASA MUSEU LAURA DIAS
Catarina Carneiro de Sousa
11 de Janeiro a 2 de Fevereiro de 2008
Inauguração , Sexta 11 de Janeiro às 21:30
A artista Catarina Carneiro de Sousa propôs para o Espaço Gesto a construção da Casa Museu de uma mulher vulgar de nome Laura Dias.
Dessa mulher pouco sabemos, e ainda assim este Museu tenta reconstruir a sua vida.
Como as Casas Museu que conhecemos, esta vive também entre a realidade e a ficção. Laura Dias viveu realmente nesta casa entre Outubro de
2006 e Abril de 2007, mas o motivo que a trouxe ao Porto é na verdade mais obscuro, se trabalhou para a Bombom, o Hotel Paris ou o Estrela
D'ouro nunca saberemos ao certo. Os objectos deixados para trás ajudam a construir o perfil desta mulher, mas difícil é também distinguir o
que realmente lhe pertenceu e foi deixado para trás ou o que já estaria na casa antes mesmo de Laura cá ter vivido.
"O parco espólio desta Casa-Museu consiste em tudo que Laura Dias deixou ficar quando partiu. A partir destes itens tentou-se
reconstruir e conservar o espaço vivencial desta mulher, com o intuito de melhor a compreender e dar a conhecer ao público." Escreve Catarina
Carneiro de Sousa.
Porque a Laura Dias?
Que deixou esta mulher à humanidade para que se preservem os magros vestígios da sua existência neste espaço? Quem é na verdade Laura
Dias, qual foi a sua ocupação, para onde a levavam os seus passos, em que pensava ela no saguão, e quem a observava?
Definirão esses poucos objectos; propriedade, ou não, de Laura; os nosso dias?
Hoje abre mais um shopping, dezenas de lojas prometem emprego. Hoje é Natal, "precisa-se empregada para fazer embrulhos, com
experiência". Hoje muda-se o call center de uma multinacional para a Cidade da Praia em Cabo Verde. Hoje aprendo uma profissão que
não é a minha. Hoje faço 30 anos, já não tenho direito ao arrendamento jovem. Hoje deixo quase todos os meus haveres em caixotes.
Hoje alugo uma subcave em Viseu pintada de verde e laranja.
Hoje é assim para muitos de nós, e foi com certeza para Laura Dias. Fazer as malas mais uma vez… em 2007 sabemos que atravessou a fronteira,
mas foi impossível apurar onde se encontra.

espero ver-vos por lá

TEBBE TUBBITZ
Tebbe Tubbitz is the web site of Terre Thaemlitz, introduced to me by Fra... and my dearest wikipedia says about him "Terre Thaemlitz is an award-winning multi-media producer, writer, public speaker, educator, audio remixer, DJ and owner of the Comatonse Recordings record label. His work critically combines themes of identity politics - including gender, sexuality, class,linguistic, ethnicity and race - with an ongoing critique of the socio-economics of commercial media production. This diversity of themes is matched by Thaemlitz' wide range of production styles, which include electroacustic computer music, club oriented deep house, digital, jazz, ambient and computer composed neo-expressionists solos"
what about that... I just love is queer :-) have fun.
