The "Kanslibyrån"s show on Galleri Pictura in Lund, Sweden opens this saturday 17 januari, at 16-20 "Galleri Picturas nya utställning visar delar av Kanslibyråns irrationella, trotsiga och ibland märkliga verksamhet, Kanslibyrån är en aktivistgrupp och mini-institution som består av konstnärerna Per-Arne Sträng och John Huntington.

Kanslibyrån är ett konstnärligt samarbete med en agenda. Det vi ser är en kamp i vardagen där rationalitet, lydnad och effektivitet ifrågasätts på ett både publikt och personligt plan.

I utställningen på Galleri Pictura i Lund ser vi dokumentation av tidigare genomförda aktioner och en stor installation av papper. "Aktion nr. 175: Vika för många pappersflygplan", fungerar som rumslig gestaltning av Kanslibyråns ideal."

THE deviant ART FESTIVAL in TROLLHÄTTAN participants performs in Lisbon: (H)Appy Logies presents "Series of routines" an improvised and durational performance on dance routines, mental patterns, and human obsessions at Bacalhoeiro, Rua dos Bacalhoeiros Lisboa Portugal Thursday 9 October 11pm After a series of performances last May in Paris (la Miroiterie) and London (Shunt Vaults), (H)Appy Logies are performing "Series of routines" in Lisbon @Bacalhoeiro on October the 9th. "Series of Routines" is a highly visual, atmospheric and intense performance entirely improvised around a few objects (flour, mirror, "fragile" tape, chairs) and a dancer who comes back to dance after a 16 year break. It explores the violent, the sublime, the absurd and the humorous in human patterns and in our link to every day objects. (H)Appy Logies have worked since 2006 around the visceral in the every day, the human in the routine, the sublime in the domestic,and the political in the personal by forming partly improvised, mainly non narrative performances and through the shaping of tense and intense atmospheres.

Art Project by (deviant) participant Elizabeth McTernan

CIVIL DUSK - LET'S TRY AGAIN TOMORROW LOOK WEST, BE THERE Saturday, July 19th, 2008 Let's all watch the sunset together as the sun sets on America. I will be observing and documenting the time between sunset and civil dusk in Cape Alava, Washington, USA, on the evening of July 19th, 2008. That's where I will be at that time, on my way to Japan. Please join me from wherever you are for that 40 minutes - whether it's light out or pitch black - and take a photo of your western horizon at the moment of our Civil Dusk (see below for your time). All you have to do is look west, be there. "Civil dusk" is the official name for the moment when the sun sinks lower than 6 degrees below the horizon, finally leaving the land in true darkness. This term is not only one of scientific functionality, but also one that is poetically and politically loaded, ambiguously optimistic or fatalistic. I chose Cape Alava because it's the westernmost point in the contiguous U.S., and I quite like the idea of acknowledging the country's very last experience of sunlight for the day. Look west, be there. Let's watch the sunset together as the sun sets on America. Let's try again tomorrow. Political cynicism holds hands with a romantic gesture of hope. Both apocalyptic and like a first date. Please note your respective times: Cape Alava, WA (westernmost point in the contiguous US): - sunset 09:12pm civil dusk 09:51pm US Western Summer Time: - our sunset 09:12pm our civil dusk 09:51pm US Mountain Summer Time: - our sunset 10:12pm our civil dusk 10:51pm US Central Summer Time: - our sunset 11:12pm our civil dusk 11:51pm US Eastern Summer Time: - our sunset 12:12pm our civil dusk 12:51pm British Summer Time: - our sunset 5:12am our civil dusk 5:51am Central European Summer Time: - our sunset 6:12am our civil dusk 6:51am Japan Standard Time: - our sunset 1:12pm our civil dusk 1:51pm +1 day South Korea Standard Time: - our sunset 1:12pm our civil dusk 1:51pm +1 day The time just after sunset is a transitional one that redefines our perceptions, be them legal (burglary is considered night burglary 30 minutes after sunset, upon which time the penalty is increased) or physical (there is an official time each day after sunset when objects are definitively indiscernible to the naked eye). Focusing on civil dusk addresses the question of "objectiveness" in representation - in terms of the limitations of the eye, the limitations of journalistic images, the limitations of our own faith in these instruments of "truth." Also, I think there is something to be said for observing civil dusk on an arbitrary day. While every new day brings a brand new civil twilight, we are free to begin again, and fail again. IT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY IF YOU WOULD JOIN ME - DON'T BE LATE, AND DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL ME YOUR PHOTO AFTERWARDS! -- Elizabeth McTernan Somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, en route to Japan 443.570.4636

THE (deviant) ART FESTIVAL 2008

THE (DEVIANT) ART FESTIVAL ÄR TILLBAKA I SVERIGE!

Initiativtagare och arrangörer till denna uppmärksammade konsthändelse är som vanligt Fred(rik) Lindberg och Joanna Ageborn, två erfarna konstnärer skolade huvudsakligen i London, Amsterdam och Göteborg. Det som tidigare var något så ovanligt som en konstfestival i Trollhättan med uteslutande brittisk konst, har nu utvecklats till ett internationellt nätverk med unga konstnärer från hela världen. Utställningens tyngdpunkt detta tredje år ligger dock istället på Nordisk samtidskonst.

Som konsthappening är The (deviant) Art Festival unik i sitt slag och lämnar sällan publiken oberörd, uppmärksamheten sträcker sig ofta utanför den vanliga konstkretsen. Festivalen och dess deltagare har redan säkrat en plats i konstlivet med diverse utmärkelser och engagemang i utställningar så som Independents Biennal i Liverpool och YoungContemporaries i London samt även events i Göteborg och Örebro.
The (deviant) Art Festival levererar ett rikt program av film, musik och poesi i samarbete med Konsthallen i Trollhättan. Förutom de tre huvudarenorna Konsthallen, Galleri Pumphuset och MOCAP utlovas även udda upplevelser i det offentliga rummet för den som har sinnena på skaft.
Initiativtagarna har även i år byggt vidare på sina idéer kring atmosfär och mänsklig interaktion för att skapa något större än varje enskilt konstverk och detta verkar vara kärnan till det som så ofta gör The (deviant) Art Festival till en udda och spännande konstupplevelse där konstnärer med olika bakgrund möts i en blandning av fasta utställningar och lekfulla konstaktioner. Festivalen kommer som tidigare att ha en stark betoning på installationer, performance och platsspecifika verk.
Välkommen och upplev, deltag och reagera!

NÖJE & KULTUR

Opretentiös konst för alla

Publicerad 26 juni 2008 kl 4.15.
Konst som berör och integrerar publiken. Det är målet med konstfestivalen The (deviant) Art som nu arrangeras i Trollhättan för tredje året i rad. - Vi vill få bort prettostämpeln, säger konstnärerna och arrangörerna Fredrik Lindberg och Joanna Ageborn.


Med start på lördag invaderas stan av svenska och brittiska konstnärer som ska visa upp både fasta utställningar och göra konstaktioner under den tre veckor långa konstfestivalen.
Arrangörerna utlovar konstnärliga uttryck och händelser för alla smaker. Som tidigare år kommer festivalen att ha en stark betoning på installationer, performance och platsspecifika verk. - De fasta platserna blir Konsthallen och Pumphuset. Däremellan och runt omkring kommer vi också att sprida ut oss på gator och torg, berättar Fredrik Lindberg, före detta Trollhättebo som numera är bosatt och verksam som konstnär i London.
I årets upplaga av The (deviant) Art Festival deltar ett 60-tal utländska och 16 svenska konstnärer med verk. I Konsthallen, där förberedelserna nu pågår för fullt, kommer publiken att kunna ta del av bland annat fotografier, teckningar, videokonst och skulpturer. Och Joanna Ageborn planerar att hänga upp tomma ramar och sedan på plats skapa egna verk i form av teckningar och målningar som kan fylla dem.
- Vi vill visa att konst inte behöver vara något krångligt och oåtkomligt, anpassat för en klick intellektuella. Och att det kan vara mer än att bara titta på en tavla. Därför integrerar vi publiken i skapandet, om de vill, säger Joanna. Flertalet av de medverkande konstnärerna kommer också att närvara under festivaldagarna. Något som är viktigt enligt arrangörerna. - Publiken ska ha möjlighet att ställa frågor och diskutera konsten direkt med konstnärerna på ett avspänt sätt. Mötet är det centrala. Konstfestivalen pågår 28 juni till 20 juli.
