ARTINFO: Bahrain and Lebanon Withdraw From the Venice Biennale Due to Mideast Turmoil, While Egypt's Participation Is Uncertain

It is no surprise that the popular uprisings sweeping the Middle East should have an impact on the Venice Biennale, the international showcase of art, culture, and political soft power, and now the first embattled countries have begun to withdraw from participation. Bahrain, the tiny Gulf nation that was to make its first appearance at the Biennale this year, has backed out amid violent crackdowns at home, and Lebanon has likewise called off its sophomore pavilion. Meanwhile, Egypt's participation remains something of a question mark.

Bahrain's inability to send an artist to Venice is especially unfortunate since last year the country had its first appearance at the Venice Architecture Biennale and walked away with the Golden Lion for best pavilion. Curated by architects Noura Al-Sayeh and Fuad Al-Ansari, the national display focused on plans to develop areas along its shores where water has receded and included three traditional fisherman's huts. The jury was impressed with its "lucid and forceful self-analysis of the nation's relationship with its rapidly changing coastline." It is unclear whether Bahrain had already chosen a curator and artist for its appearance in the Venice Biennale this June.

As for Lebanon, it skipped the 2009 Biennale but had its own national pavilion for the first time in 2007, curated by Saleh Barakat and Sandra Daghe with the participation of artists Fouad Elkoury, Lamia Joreige, Walid Sadek, Mounira Al Solh, and Akram Zaatari. The exhibit had the official support of Lebanon, but was funded by private donations from the Lebanese community. The 2007 curators' statement said that Lebanon was joining the Biennale "at a time of grave political crisis in the country — when the concept of the nation has once again been called rather roughly, even violently into question."

This time around political instability has led the country to withdraw from the event entirely. The curator was to have been Georges Rabbath, who had titled the pavilion "Lebanon As a State of Mind." Ten artists were to have been featured: Annabel Daou, Etel Adnan, Marya Kazoun, Cornelia Krafft, Ricardo Mbarkho, Samer Mohdad, Jacko Restikian, Shawki Youssef, Camille Zakharia, and CPS (Chamber of Public Secrets). Daou, who grew up in Lebanon and moved to the United States at age 18, told ARTINFO that she received a letter from the culture minister about 10 days ago stating that Lebanon would not participate in the Biennale. Daou said that "I thought possibly there might be issues... obviously these things are difficult," but that she didn't expect the pavilion to be canceled after plans were so advanced. Lebanon's coalition government fell apart in January, and so far the country has been unable to form a new one.

As for the status of Egypt's participation, despite Biennale president Paolo Baratta's announcement at a Friday press conference that the country would not participate in the exhibition this year, it seems the country does in fact plan to proceed. According to Fatenn Mostafa of the Cairo Arts Initiative, newly-appointed culture minister Emad Abou Ghazi has confirmed Egypt's participation in the Biennale and has chosen Ahmed Bassiouny to represent the country. A Biennale representative, however, told ARTINFO that the organizers are awaiting "confirmation or any communication from Egypt."

Bassiouny died on the fourth day of Egypt's uprising, and Mostafa told ARTINFO that the pavilion will showcase the late artist's "work as well as his January 25 revolution videos." Already an icon of the revolution, Bassiouny was depicted by Cairo artist Ganzeer in his portrait series of martyred activists. In 2009, the Egyptian pavilion showed the work of artists Adel el Siwi and Ahmed Askalany, which the Independent's Michael Glover called "the tenderest and most haunting work in the Giardini."

In another positive piece of Biennale news from the region, Iraq, dealing with its own postwar turmoil, will nevertheless present its first pavilion in Venice since 1976, under the curatorship of Mary Angela Schroth and with support from Iraq's ministry of culture, the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, and the Iraq embassy in Italy. Two generations of Iraqi artists will be presented, starting with Ali Assaf, Azad Nanakli, and Walid Siti, who were born in the 1950s. Abel Abidin, Halim Al Karim, and Ahmed Alsoudani represent a later generation that grew up during the Iran-Iraq War and the invasion of Kuwait.

Ricardo Mbarkho: Grading the Lebanese Constitution

www.lebanononweb.net

(c) Ricardo Mbarkho, 2011. All rights reserved.

'Grading the Lebanese Constitution' is a web based project (www.lebanononweb.net) where people can give a grade for any and every article of the actual Lebanese Constitution. An Overall Average Grade is constantly displayed and updated. This grading centered project with its mass evaluation process implies different ways of reading the numbers and graphs of all the statistical results. Mbarkho's work deals with data interpretation to offer multiple analysis levels relative to our role as citizens; this project tackles with the way how judgment criteria operate behind each one of the grades in order to question the utopian model of a country, an ongoing concern in Lebanon, and a renewed one in the region.

"Dharma guns" : voyage dans une 'interzone'

http://www.lemonde.fr/cinema/article/2011/03/08/dharma-guns-voyage-dans-une-interzone_1490052_3476.html

Dharma Guns/Solaris Distribution

Dharma Guns/Solaris DistributionSolaris Distribution

La rareté sied bien à F. J Ossang. Trois ans après son dernier court-métrage, Ciel éteint, quatorze ans après son dernier long, Docteur Chance, le réalisateur français revient au cinéma avec un bel oxymore en guise de titre (littéralement : "Les Fusils de l'enseignement du Bouddha"), et un style qui n'a rien perdu de sa puissance d'évocation : compositions plastiques d'une beauté entêtante, associations énigmatiques de textes, d'images, de sons, ancrage dans une mythologie personnelle du cinéma qui tire des cordes entre l'expressionnisme muet et la nouvelle vague sans s'interdire des incursions chez Guy Debord ou David Lynch, entre autres. Dharma Guns s'ouvre sur un premier plan étonnant, un lac filmé à la lisière de l'eau, laquelle vient trancher l'espace en son milieu comme le faisait le rasoir sur l'oeil dans Un chien andalou. Baignés dans la lumière chaude d'un après-midi d'été, deux espaces symétriques se répondent : le haut et le bas, le gazeux et le liquide, le sonore et le silencieux.... Le film qui s'annonce est un voyage dans une "interzone" - les limbes où flottent les âmes suspendues entre la vie et la mort.

Mais d'abord, la vie, consumée par les deux bouts sur un hors-bord poussé à plein régime. Piloté par une femme fatale semblant tout droit issue de l'âge d'or d'Hollywood, le bateau glisse sur la surface du lac, tirant un homme en ski nautique. Reflets du soleil sur l'eau, griserie de la vitesse. Et puis c'est le choc fracassant, silence. Passage au noir et blanc.

Le skieur se réveille, censément après un long coma, et nous embarque avec lui dans un polar mental rétro-futuriste où résonnent, parmi d'autres, les échos d'Alphaville. Stan van Der Decken est son nom, assène-t-il face à l'objectif, dans un français teinté d'un fort accent. Scénariste de profession et aventurier romantique dans l'âme, il se découvre légataire testamentaire d'un certain Starkov, et embringué à partir de là dans une aventure politico-existentielle déployée selon une temporalité hallucinée. Compressions et dilatations, bonds en avant et retours en arrière, articulation entre temps vécu temps rêvé, temps imaginé, entre sensations et projections mentales... Est-ce ainsi qu'un homme se débattant entre la vie et la mort perçoit le temps ? L'intuition plastique d'Ossang est si fertile, qu'elle engage à le suivre.

Pour mettre en scène le voyage intérieur de son personnage, il joue avec les registres musicaux (du folk à l'électro industrielle), exacerbe les contrastes entre le noir et la lumière en puisant dans les formes du cinéma muet, fait résonner celles-ci avec des structures architecturales obsédantes.

De la part d'un artiste qui a créé son nom à partir d'un verset de la Bible ("Je solidifierai mon sang, j'en ferai de l'os"), il faut s'attendre à des énigmes à tous les étages. Emprunté au capitaine du Hollandais volant, ce bateau de légende condamné à hanter indéfiniment les océans, le nom Van der Decken ouvre la voie à une trame qui s'enroule dans les méandres de l'enfer, sur laquelle viennent se greffer des références au mythe d'Orphée, à Lovecraft, le look de parfait nazi d'un des personnages secondaires, une collection de codes-barres géants qui s'invite dans la danse... Le film n'exige pas de tout décrypter, au contraire. Il invite plutôt à se frayer son chemin dans la foisonnante forêt de signes qu'il organise, voire à s'y perdre.

Film français de F. J. Ossang. avec Elvire, Guy McKnight, Lionel Tua. (1 h 33.)

Les Inrocks: William Burroughs: "Le Porte-lame", version pop et mutante de "Blade Runner"

http://www.lesinrocks.com/livres-arts-scenes/livres-arts-scenes-article/t/57326/date/2011-01-12/article/william-burroughs-le-porte-lame-version-pop-et-mutante-de-blade-runner/


Sortie d’un “presque inédit” de William Burroughs : un scénario, entre remake d’un roman de SF et un film pas encore tourné, dans un New York dépotoir. Une forme de littérature mutante.

New York, 1979. William Burroughs publie un bref roman intitulé Blade Runner : a Movie. Il a, pour cela, emprunté héros et situations à un livre de SF du prolifique Alan E. Nourse : The Bladerunner (1975).

Il ne s'en cache pas, allant jusqu'à indiquer dans le texte quelle action a été arrachée au roman de Nourse pour se retrouver dans le sien. Le cut-up, qu'il expérimentait depuis des décennies, apposait des greffes de textes pris au hasard qui, une fois mis ensemble, constituaient par montage une oeuvre d'avant-garde.

New York 2014: ville dépotoir

Mais là, il s'agit d'une autre opération encore : reprendre des personnages et une vision pour en donner à lire une version mutante. Faire proliférer la littérature à travers la trajectoire dangereuse d'un "portelame" transportant sur lui des instruments chirurgicaux et des médocs, dans une ville-dépotoir (NYC en 2014) où la médecine, quand elle s'exerce hors du contrôle des trusts pharmaceutiques fascisants, est devenue une activité clandestine.

Par précaution envers Nourse, Burroughs vend l'idée que son livre serait un scénario. Une adaptation. Son écriture est de fait portée par l'idée qu'un dispositif plus grand que la littérature la domine et tente, par des efforts cocasses, de ressembler à un découpage.

Mais si Burroughs aime tant le fait que Blade Runner soit un scénario (bien qu'aucune production ne lui en ait passé commande), c'est qu'il voit le scénario comme forme intermédiaire mutante de l'écriture : soit la transformation virale d'un texte originel en un second texte appelé à devenir autre chose (un film). Le scénario, parce qu'il est intermédiaire, est toujours monstrueux.

La littérature même vue comme un processus viral

Et un scénario de Burroughs ne parle que de mutation. Celle, accélérée, d'une ville-monde livrée depuis les émeutes de1984 (clin d'oeil à Orwell) aux lépreux, aux miliciens de Dieu, aux naturistes fous, à la variole et au cancer... Mais derrière cette peinture sci-fi pompière, c'est l'idée tout entière de littérature comme processus viral qui passionne et amuse (le texte est férocement drôle) le vieux Bill.

Son Blade Runner est la version pop du cut-up. Tout le livre est à prendre de la sorte. Les mots s'infectent les uns les autres. Le début est l'exposé d'une parano blanche, wasp, raciste, populiste, face aux dealers, négros, métèques, pédés, toxicos. Mais de séquence en séquence, c'est la prolifération qui va se constituer en récit, ou comment la paranoïa des uns va alimenter celle des autres, dessiner une géopolitique folle (un évangéliste et ses troupes contre une bande de lépreux s'injectant eux-mêmes le bacille de Hansen) jusqu'à flotter, telle une cellule cancéreuse, dans les conduits d'une ville postatomique qui ressemblerait à une Venise pourrie.

En 1983, pour adapter une nouvelle de Philip K. Dick, Ridley Scott piquera le titre Blade Runner à Burroughs et le remerciera au générique. Prolifération, tu disais ?

Interzone report of January 2011

Accueil July-August 2010 Contact

Soldat Louis: Escale sur la planète



Hi all,
I have not sent (nor written) any report since last summer : I had to concentrate on urgent things and have been missing time. Also I needed a break to take some distance, as I had a feeling of routine since some times. I have been including in the latest reports a lot of info which were not specific to the Zone, and afterwards had the feeling it diluted it. As a result, I want to get back to the original Zone's spirit and concentrate on the job to do there.
So here is this new report, with many good musics integrated, to give us a lot of energy for the year to come.

Though I have kept on posting the info you sent in Interzone news : see the posts of September :

http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html, October : http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html , November : http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html and December : http://interzone-news.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html , where you can find a lot of doc on the Beats, beyond Interzone news properly speaking.

Best wishes for 2011:

I am joining them to wish all the best to Interzone members and a creative year for our projects and personal life.

Usurpations of identity:

In October, I have detected a number of anonymous pirate sites and blogs usurping my identity, reproducing the old sites hosted on geocities, which have disappeared since 2009, and my site on general semantics. The links in the pages are modified and lead to other pirate sites instead of the original pages, and they contain adverts which install trojans on the computers of the visitors. I shall not put the URL here to avoid to highlight them.

So I have been investigating on what is going on here and here is what I have found :

1. Those pirate sites are used by people who steal the contents of sites already existing to earn money with the adverts and copyright, specially on the blog system "over-blog.com", which hosts anonymous blogs with adverts and pays copyrights to their authors.

2. This phenomenon seems bound to the new web generation called web 2.0, which includes new interactive tools. This new technology has led to an internet marketing called marketing 2.0. Some days ago I received the newsletter of "Alternatives Economiques" which contains an interesting article about it : Marketing 2.0 : grande interactivité et petites arnaques by Marc Mousli (Marketing 2.0 : large interactivity and small swindles) about some of the tricks used to twist the rules. Among them the fake comments on blogs, agencies who employ people to spam forums with URL spreading, etc.

3. It comes out that the attacks against my sites specially aim the rubric on non-Aristotelian economy we started in Interzone in 1999 : the original pages on geocities containing the articles have disappeared, but they now are on line, in French and English, in the site of general semantics at http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/ecorestruct.htm in the rubric "A non-Aristotelian economy" at http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/econona.htm .

So I inferred from it that this research could be more important than a simple challenge at the scale of Interzone, and that it was worth keeping on racking our brain on it.

Interzone economy:

I called it a "non-Aristotelian economy" because I stated that formal economy rests on Aristotelian basis (see :

http://generalsemantics4all.wordpress.com/une-economie-non-aristotelicienne/) and used general semantics to formulate a new one, : see I New data on money: what are we talking about exactly? http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/gsmoney.htm and II Application of those data in the context of the Zone http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/gsmoney2.htm (See the Zone report of January 2000 when those pages were put on line for the first time).

For those who missed the beginning of the story, we tried to see if we could produce our respective arts by ourselves, out of the commercial circuit. And the result was positive (this was at the end of the nineties, the present internet technology did not exist: there was no social network then, no My Space, no CD burner on the computers, etc.) : see the reports of Interzone at

http://sites.google.com/site/aubertisa/ of 1999 and after. Then came the question to sell : we thought about making an official structure (associative / commercial), and after discussing, we concluded that their structure was not similar to the Zone and would lead to complications and problems, so we decided to remain as a society of fact, which did not require any formality. We started to think about making an economy adapted to our spirit, and this led to this research. We tried different formulas, some of which worked, some not. We came to the conclusion that, as a group, money was not involved, because everybody had his own equipment and managed with it. Though I kept on digging the subject and put since have put the result on line. I applied it in 2008 for Interzone Editions http://interzoneeditions.livres.officelive.com/ and on line courses of general semantics http://semantiquegenerale.free.fr/coursenligne.htm, which I could not have put up without this work, and the result is satisfying.
Hence I suggest to keep on with the Zoners involved in it in the past: if you are interested in this research, you can get in touch through the blog below.

I have created a blog specially for this rubric at http://generalsemantics4all.wordpress.com/ to gather the existing doc and the doc to come :

Literature:

Interzone anthology:

I want to send the different tomes of the anthology "The Time of the Naguals" in pdf to Zoners who wrote in them. Only 3 tomes are on line.at http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNFR.pdf , http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TNAroundB&G.pdf, http://www.inter-zone.org/thetimeofthenaguals/TN2research.pdf

For the others, they are complete, but not illustrated, containing just the texts. I do not know how long it will take to end the presentation and make them ready for publishing, so if you sent me texts for it and want the books as they are at the moment, just let me know and I'll send them to you.
