Germany
A Little Bit of History Repeated
Performances at Kunst-Werke Berlin
>From November 16th to 18th 2001, 8 - 11 pm, Kunst-Werke Berlin -
Institute for Contemporary Art presents three performance evenings.
Participating artists: John Bock (Germany), Tania Bruguera (Cuba), Trisha
Donnelly (USA), Ingar Drangset & Michael Elmgreen (Denmark/Norway), Karl
Holmqvist (Sweden), Takehito Koganezawa (Japan), Elke Krystufek (Austria),
Laura Lima (Brazil), Tracey Rose (South Africa), Tino Sehgal (Germany).
Curated by: Jens Hoffmann
The project offers a unique opportunity to re-experience and analyze a
series of classic performances as a number of international artists from
a younger generation have been invited to re-enact important performances
from the 1960s and 70s. The reenactments comprise open copies based on
original documentation (film, photographs as well as written and oral
statements), interpretations of the original performance, co-operations
with the original artist and entirely new works, which are only loosely
based on an older performance. While the performances will take place on
Friday and Saturday (Saturday repetition of the previous evening), the
third evening will be dedicated to a panel discussion for the evaluation o=
f
the project.
Participants of the panel are the artists of A Little Bit of History
Repeated, Dorothea von Hantelmann, a freelance curator and critic and Jens=
Hoffmann. The aim of the project is to analyze the fundamental characteris=
tics
of performance art and its relationship to the art object and the idea of =
the
archive, as well as to explore questions of method, techniques, developmen=
t,
movement, authorship, conservation and documentation.
Following the panel discussion and based on the idea of the project A Litt=
le
Bit of History Repeated, the performance class Abramovic of the Hochschule
f=FCr Bildende K=FCnste, Braunschweig, will perform a number of performanc=
es,
which have been created during a seminar led by Marina Abramovic and Jens
Hoffmann.
Accompanying the project a bilingual, German-English publication will be
published, comprising texts by Jens Hoffmann and the individual artists.
(Published by Kunst-Werke in collaboration with Edition Valerio,
Paris/Berlin. 80 pages, DM 9,-).
The project has been realized thanks to the generous support of the Allian=
z
Kulturstiftung, Munich, and the Schaub=FChne am Lehniner Platz, Berlin.

Bangkok Experimental Film Festival:
http://www.project304.net
The 32 films collected here present the range of experimental film
works in Germany in the 90ies.
The newer works starting from 1998 are being emphasized. The programs
include works of foreigners living in Germany as well as of Germans
living abroad.
What all these works have in common is the subjective look of the
authors. All works are authentic testimonies of personal perceptions and
reflections: these could be documentary-focused perspectives, formal-playf=
ul
studies or richly decorated and computer generated picture-worlds. All
authors have an interest in reporting of themselves as individuals and
their personal look at the world.
Beside this subjective look also the reflection on the artistic media
and conditions itself is typical for all works introduced here
(experimental film as metafilm). While formal thoughts concerning
the technical reproduction media lose their significance
(e.g. the esthetic differences between film and video), general topics
of picture production move increasingly to the fore-ground:
the personal and social =91dealing=92 with pictures.
Questions are being asked: how fare cause private or public picture-worlds
identity? (manipulation)? What does it mean to go public with private
pictures? (voyeurism)? And above all: how can it be possible to assert
one=92s own visions against the prevailing media conventions?
(curated by Gerhard B=FCttenbender and Michael Brynntrup)

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR
SCHOOL OF ART & DESIGN
TENURE-TRACK FACULTY POSITIONS
VISITING FACULTY POSITIONS
New undergraduate and graduate programs are in the works at the
University of Michigan's School of Art & Design. In the fall of 2002,
a new undergraduate curriculum that joins art and design will begin.
Preliminary information about this new curriculum can be found on the
School's web site. In the fall of 2003, the School plans to launch
new graduate programs.
These changes dictate the addition of new tenure-track and visiting
faculty to the School. In searching for new faculty, we seek
individuals who can intentionally
* connect art-making and designing skills and approaches in
their creative work
* connect creative work to the University, the community, and the world
* connect established and emerging tools, media, technologies,
and tendencies
* connect experimental activity with critical reflection
* connect with and make history
The School is seeking to make several joint tenure-track
appointments. We are looking for artists, designers, theorists and
other creators who can engage issues of interest shared by other
academic units at the University of Michigan. Faculty appointed to
these positions will have well-established capabilities to engage
issues beyond traditional academic and professional boundaries.
Appointments will typically be based in the School of Art & Design
with secondary appointments in other academic units at the University.
In addition, the School seeks several full-time, temporary faculty
for two-year, fixed-term appointments in its new Visiting Faculty
Program. This program insures a continual flow of fresh ideas and
stimulating approaches throughout our community. These appointments
will typically be framed within the School, but joint appointments
are also possible.
Both tenure-track and visiting faculty teach two courses per
semester. They are expected to carry out creative work and to
maintain a public profile with that work. The School encourages and
facilitates engagement with the progressive, extensive human and
technical resources of the University of Michigan and the community.
Studio space is provided in the new Faculty Studios Building in Ann
Arbor. In addition to teaching and creative work, tenure-track
faculty are expected to undertake activities in service to the School
and the University. Tenure-track appointments presume the possibility
of a long-term commitment to the School, while visiting faculty
appointments stipulate a fixed, short-term commitment.
All of the School's programs and appointments presume a strong
commitment to diversity and inclusiveness.
Qualifications: Successful candidates will have an advanced degree
or equivalent experience. They will also have university-level
teaching experience beyond graduate student teaching, and/or an
established record of engaging the public through creative work.
Appointment Level: Rank open and commensurate with experience.
Salary: Commensurate with experience and appointment level.
Application: To include:

As of today, the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen is presentin=

a completely new website at www.kurzfilmtage.de. With its new design and
structure, including streamings and a wide range of services added, the
relaunch is not merely a reworked festival site, but instead represents a
year-round Internet portal dedicated to promoting the international short =
film.
The Magazine www.shortfilm.de will research and report on the short film
scene independently from the Festival itself. The Web-Magazine will
endeavour to grant the short film the attention it deserves and to provide=
it with its own forum reflecting the diverse array of activities
surrounding this genre while also taking on the role of a creative
sensorium. In its editorial reporting, shortfilm.de intends to give short
film the degree of attention usually reserved for feature-length film whil=
e
underlining its real significance. One of the main tasks of shortfilm.de i=
s
the promotion and publicizing of events, projects, tendencies and talents,=
as well as providing a vehicle for the regular exchange of information
between young filmmakers, professionals and the film industry. The magazin=
e
is designed to address both German and international readers. The objectiv=
e
is to provide comprehensive information on short film policies and
developments taking place on the short film scene.
www.shortfilm.de is an online magazine for the short film that is
editorially independent of the International Short Film Festival
Oberhausen. In addition to a monthly theme article, the magazine will
contain interviews, commentaries and news. Subscription to this e-mail
newsletter will inform users in advance of upcoming topics. Shortfilm.de
also offers a service including newsletter, calendar and address and

Hosting@CDDC
The Center for Digital Discourse and Culture (CDDC) in the College of
Arts and Sciences at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University is accepting proposals for hosting artistic, critical, and
literary projects. The CDDC ( http://www.cddc.vt.edu ) has been in operati=
on
for over two years, and it publishes hypertext journals, hosts digital
research archives, and cooperates with many international cyberculture
organizations.
As an entirely digital point-of-publication, the CDDC is seeking from
individuals and groups, proposals of artistic or academic merit for
use of our server space. The main focus of the CDDC is to explore the new
communicative potentials of hypertext, hypermedia, and web-centered
publication. The review processes will be as extensive as those
experienced in print academic outlets, but it too will be conducted in
a fully on-line format.
Proposals should be approximately one page in length. They should
explain the work, and, if possible, provide examples (current urls) of
the work proposed. We imagine projects by individual digital artists
or writers, groups of artists, reviewed or curated online display spaces
or literary journals, and other unique endeavors will take advantage
of this service. On average, each project can be allocated a considerable
amount of space (i.e. around 50 MB, of web addressable server space,
though both larger and smaller requests will be considered),
accessible from an ftp account on the CDDC servers.
To propose a publication project, or to get more information, contact
the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture at cddc@vt.edu .
FAQ:
Q:How do I get free hosting for my online artistic/literary project at
CDDC?
A:You have to submit a proposal first. That proposal then goes
through a rigorous review process and once it is accepted, then you get fr=
ee
hosting.
Q:Do I have to pay for this?
A:There will be no charge for this service.
Q:Can I pay to have my materials hosted and bypass the process?
A:No, there is no way to bypass the review process and while we accept
donations, they will have no affect upon the review process.
Q:I have an idea for a project, but the project is not finished,
should I submit a proposal?
A:We would strongly prefer proposals about completed projects, but
will entertain proposals about projects under construction. Projects not
yet started are unlikely to make it through the review process.
Q:Can I put ads or other profit making tools in my area in cddc?
A: No, but it is conceivable that one could use these in a form of
artistic expression, and that would be something that would go through
the review process.
Q:Will the CDDC attempt to make profit off of my work, by placing ads,
etc.?
A:No
Q:Do you provide DNS resolution?
A:We are looking into it, but we know of several free services that
can resolve to our servers and do provide virtual hosting on those servers
as long as some mention of CDDC support is made on the front page or a
sponsors page.
Q:I represent a group of artists and we would like to create a site
and review the work that we want on that site, could that be hosted on
CDDC?
A:Yes, we are happy to provide this service to a group of people
maintaining on ongoing or permanent exhibition space. However, we
would suggest a slightly larger proposal 2-3 pages that includes URL's to
the types of work that your group supports and would include. This
proposal will then be reviewed and if it is accepted, your group will be g=
iven
a space.
