From sarahell at sbcglobal.net Mon May 17 10:22:44 2004 From: sarahell at sbcglobal.net (Sarah Lockhart) Date: Mon May 17 09:22:46 2004 Subject: [Rumori] Introduction and RFP Message-ID: Hello all, I'm new to this list, and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sarah Lockhart, and I'm a video artist in Oakland, California that works mostly with found/appropriated footage. I also curate shows at an arts space in Oakland called 21 Grand. The following is a series I'm putting together that I thought would be of interest to folks here. RFP/Call For Entries: Duck and Cover at 21 Grand Arts Space in Oakland, CA What Is This Duck and Cover? Duck and Cover will be an evening (maybe two or three) of radical reinterpretations of popular songs performed/reformed/deformed by musicians, performance artists, dancers, and the like to take place June 11th, 12th and 13th at 21 Grand in Oakland. Hopefully, there will be an audience, and participants will be paid. Why A Night of Covers? This show came out of a discussion about audiences for experimental music and issues of ?relevance? of experimental music performances to the general public. It is also in response to the resurgence of pablum pop (a la Brittney Spears), the resurgence of intellectual property issues, and the show, ?American Idol,? where talent is judged based partly on one?s ability to perform a relatively faithful rendition of someone else?s material. Unlike the previously mentioned televisual endeavor, we aim to present unfaithful renditions that deconstruct the song, work with it in an unconventional way, or use it as a leaping off point to do something more interesting. Besides, it just sounded like fun. Are there Criteria? The premise is to take a song or piece of music with which a general audience is likely to be familiar and then perform it in an unconventional way, whether through sampling/digital processing, interpreting it via another art form, improvising upon themes or patterns of the music, or doing a relatively straight rendition using radically different instrumentation. A maximum of 20 minutes will be alloted to each selected performer/group, therefore you could conceivably cover multiple songs. If you are doing a more or less ?straight? cover, no more than half of the instruments (including voice) commonly associated with said song can be used. For example, if you were to cover a conventional rock song, (vocals/guitar/bass/drums) you could use at most two of these instruments. You could choose vocals and guitar, but it would be more interesting with trumpet, tone generator and theremin. How do I communicate my desire to participate in this event? You can e-mail 21grand@21grand.org with your name, contact info, and a description of what you would do, including which song(s) or music you would do it to. It could be a bit vague (e.g. butoh dance to Black Sabbath; duet for tuba and laptop of Broadway showtunes). Please give some history of your performance/artistic background or link thereto. You can also mail us or drop off a physical document to: 21 Grand 449 B 23rd St. Oakland, CA 94612 From postconsumer01 at yahoo.com Mon May 17 20:54:20 2004 From: postconsumer01 at yahoo.com (Jon Nelson) Date: Mon May 17 19:54:25 2004 Subject: [Rumori] SAR: Omer Fast on the radio Message-ID: <20040518025420.50912.qmail@web20507.mail.yahoo.com> hello, Just a heads up to the group that Some Assembly Required will feature a short interview this Saturday (May 22) with Omer Fast, the video artist whose work "CNN Concatenated" has been making the rounds at art galleries/institutions over the past couple of years. I caught it in Minneapolis at the Soap Factory and was mesmerized. He's agreed to let me play the audio portion of his video collage on the show, and shared a few words on his thought process (and the creative process) behind it as well. good stuff. Here's an edit of what artnet.com had to say about CNN Concatenated: "...The Israel-born New Yorker and Whitney Biennial vet, who first showed at Momenta Art in Williamsburg, has culled footage from CNN and radically edited it together into what sounds like poetry -- much of it like the angst-ridden stuff teenagers write. "Just get near me already you hypocritical opportunist fake phony con-artist sell-out lip-serving limousine-liberal white chickenshit motherfucker!" says one amazingly spliced together passage, in which each word jumps from a different newscaster's mouth..." Some Assembly Required airs in Minneapolis on radio k, Saturdays at 2PM. You can tune in online at radiok.org note: SAR is rebroadcast in syndication on a few dozen stations, but if you live in an area which airs the show, and you're wanting to hear Omer Fast, go to radiok.org this Saturday, as it will be a number of weeks before it is rebroadcast in your area.

Russia's cult video pirate rescripts Lord of the Rings as gangster film Nick Paton Walsh in Moscow Sunday June 22, 2003 The Observer They call him the Goblin. He is the new toast of Russia's massive pirate video industry, his films sought all over Moscow. The trick of his silver screen success is that the Goblin redubs Hollywood movies, using his own 'better' Russian alternative to the script. A former senior police investigator from St Petersburg, Dmitri Puchkov began by making fresh translations to replace the appalling subtitles on pirated films. But now his cult following has found pan-Russian appeal, with a ground-breaking rewrite of the first two parts of The Lord of the Rings. In a move that has taken the Russian pirate disk world by storm and infuriated traditionalists and copyright lawyers, Puchkov has completely changed the script, turning the 'good' characters, like Frodo, into bumbling Russian cops, and the 'bad' Orcs into Russian gangsters. The new, irreverent version of The Lord of the Rings is set in Russia. Frodo Baggins is renamed Frodo Sumkin (a derivative from the Russian word sumka, or bag). The Ranger, Aragorn, is called Agronom (Russian for farm worker). Legolas is renamed Logovaz, after a Russian car company famed for its Ladas. Boromir becomes Baralgin, after a Russian type of paracetemol. Gandalf spends much of the film trying to impress others with his in-depth knowledge of Karl Marx, and Frodo is cursed with the filthy tongue of a Russian criminal. The films - which Puchkov says were originally made for his close friends but have now gone out on the internet - have found cult appeal in Russia's crowded pirate market, where a pirated, high-quality DVD in both Russian and English costs ??5. That is all ordinary Russians, who earn only $300 a month in Moscow, can afford. The Russian pirate industry is worth $311 million, and has grown by 25 per cent since last year, pirates making more than 40 million disks a year. For his next blockbuster, Puchkov, who learnt English at a police society, is said to be planning a comic Russian version of Star Wars. ummmm russian SW redub....

Ashcroft is a lawsuit challenging Congress's removal of thousands of works from the public domain. In 1994, Congress enacted a copyright provision under ?? 514 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act that removes many foreign works from the public domain and grants them "restored" copyrights. The law, which is codified at 17 U.S.C. ???? 104A and 109(a), takes away the public's long held rights to freely use these works -- which are now controlled by "restored" copyright holders. To win the lawsuit we need your help: we need examples of how people have been harmed by this removal of works from the public domain. You can help us if you have ever wanted to use: * a foreign sound recording made before February 15, 1972; or * a foreign work published in or after 1923 that was in the public domain in the U.S. (due to lack of copyright notice, renewal, or national eligilibility of the author), including: o works of Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Khachaturian, and other foreign composers (search for restored works) o numerous classic British, French, German, and other foreign films (including several Hitchcock films, Faust, Metropolis, and The Red Balloon, Kurosawa's Ikiru, The Third Man, and Intermezzo) o or any other foreign book, photograph, song, or work subject to a "restored" copyright o although registration is optional, you can search the U.S. Copyright Office for restored works Please tell us what the work is, what you wanted to do with it, and how we can contact you. We will follow up with you if we need more information about the nature of your harm. With your help, we can reclaim the public domain. Lawrence Lessig and the Golan v.

The nine-piece orchestra plays a range of original compositions on instruments constructed from vegetables -- including a flute made from a carrot, a saxophone carved out of a cucumber and a pumpkin converted into a double bass. "I would never have thought you could get sound out of a cucumber," a young woman at the concert said. Others commented on the raw vegetable aroma accompanying the melodies. The Austrian ensemble, three women and six men, said their instruments are freshly sliced and put together only an hour before each performance to enhance the sound. Size, texture and water content are vital to achieving the correct sound. "Ordinary vegetables work better together than organic vegetables," said Matthias Meinharter, who plays a violin fashioned from leeks. The musicians must also work against the clock. To protect their instruments from drying out during the performance, they place damp cloths around the vegetables when they're not in use. At the end of the performance, the instruments were turned into vegetable soup. Ed From darren at alienated.net Wed May 26 12:32:45 2004 From: darren at alienated.net (Darren Wershler-Henry) Date: Wed May 26 08:32:53 2004 Subject: [Rumori] FBI Uses Patriot Act to Mess with The Critical Art Ensemble Message-ID: ### May 25, 2004 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FBI ABDUCTS ARTIST, SEIZES ART Feds Unable to Distinguish Art from Bioterrorism Grieving Artist Denied Access to Deceased Wife's Body DEFENSE FUND ESTABLISHED - HELP URGENTLY NEEDED Steve Kurtz was already suffering from one tragedy when he called 911 early in the morning to tell them his wife had suffered a cardiac arrest and died in her sleep. The police arrived and, cranked up on the rhetoric of the "War on Terror," decided Kurtz's art supplies were actually bioterrorism weapons. Thus began an Orwellian stream of events in which FBI agents abducted Kurtz without charges, sealed off his entire block, and confiscated his computers, manuscripts, art supplies... and even his wife's body. Like the case of Brandon Mayfield, the Muslim lawyer from Portland imprisoned for two weeks on the flimsiest of false evidence, Kurtz's case amply demonstrates the dangers posed by the USA PATRIOT Act coupled with government-nurtured terrorism hysteria. Kurtz's case is ongoing, and, on top of everything else, Kurtz is facing a mountain of legal fees. Donations to his legal defense can be made at http://www.rtmark.com/CAEdefense/ FEAR RUN AMOK Steve Kurtz is Associate Professor in the Department of Art at the State University of New York's University at Buffalo, and a member of the internationally-acclaimed Critical Art Ensemble. Kurtz's wife, Hope Kurtz, died in her sleep of cardiac arrest in the early morning hours of May 11. Police arrived, became suspicious of Kurtz's art supplies and called the FBI. Within hours, FBI agents had "detained" Kurtz as a suspected bioterrorist and cordoned off the entire block around his house. (Kurtz walked away the next day on the advice of a lawyer, his "detention" having proved to be illegal.) Over the next few days, dozens of agents in hazmat suits, from a number of law enforcement agencies, sifted through Kurtz's work, analyzing it on-site and impounding computers, manuscripts, books, equipment, and even his wife's body for further analysis. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Health Department condemned his house as a health risk. Kurtz, a member of the Critical Art Ensemble, makes art which addresses the politics of biotechnology. "Free Range Grains," CAE's latest project, included a mobile DNA extraction laboratory for testing food products for possible transgenic contamination. It was this equipment which triggered the Kafkaesque chain of events. FBI field and laboratory tests have shown that Kurtz's equipment was not used for any illegal purpose. In fact, it is not even _possible_ to use this equipment for the production or weaponization of dangerous germs. Furthermore, any person in the US may legally obtain and possess such equipment. "Today, there is no legal way to stop huge corporations from putting genetically altered material in our food," said Defense Fund spokeswoman Carla Mendes. "Yet owning the equipment required to test for the presence of 'Frankenfood' will get you accused of 'terrorism.' You can be illegally detained by shadowy government agents, lose access to your home, work, and belongings, and find that your recently deceased spouse's body has been taken away for 'analysis.'" Though Kurtz has finally been able to return to his home and recover his wife's body, the FBI has still not returned any of his equipment, computers or manuscripts, nor given any indication of when they will. The case remains open. HELP URGENTLY NEEDED A small fortune has already been spent on lawyers for Kurtz and other Critical Art Ensemble members. A defense fund has been established at http://www.rtmark.com/CAEdefense/ to help defray the legal costs which will continue to mount so long as the investigation continues. Donations go directly to the legal defense of Kurtz and other Critical Art Ensemble members. Should the funds raised exceed the cost of the legal defense, any remaining money will be used to help other artists in need.

Bands including the Allman Brothers, moe. and Billy Idol have sold instant concert discs, and the Pixies and the Doors plan to launch similar programs this summer. The recording-and-burning company DiscLive estimated on April 12th that it would gross $500,000 selling live discs this spring alone. But in a move expected to severely limit the industry, Clear Channel Entertainment has bought the patent from the technology's inventors and now claims to own the exclusive right to sell concert CDs after shows. The company, which is the biggest concert promoter in the world, says the patent covers its 130 venues along with every other venue in the country. "We want to be artist-friendly," says Steve Simon, a Clear Channel executive vice president and the director of Instant Live. "But it is a business, and it's not going to be 'we have the patent, now everybody can use it for free.'" Artists net about ten dollars for every twenty- to twenty-five-dollar concert CD that's sold, no matter which company they use. But with Clear Channel pushing to eliminate competition, many fear there will be less money and fewer opportunities to sell live discs. "It's one more step toward massive control and consolidation of Clear Channel's corporate agenda," says String Cheese Incident manager Mike Luba, who feuded with Clear Channel last year after promoters blocked the band from using CD-burning equipment. The Pixies, who are booking a fall reunion tour with several probable Clear Channel venues, say Clear Channel has already told them DiscLive can't burn and sell CDs on-site. "Presuming Clear Channel's service and product are of equal quality, it may be best to feed the dragon rather than draw swords," says Pixies manager Ken Goes. "Still, I'm not fond of doing business with my arm twisted behind my back." Clear Channel doesn't plan to stop Phish, Pearl Jam, the Who or other bands that make live recordings available days after the show. It has also granted one-dollar licenses to a few up-and-coming bands to record and sell instant CDs of their own shows. But Clear Channel executives maintain that they have the right to stop anyone who tries to infringe on the patent. Many say this strategy prevents inventors from jumping into a marketplace and creating further innovation. "We'd like to see this industry opened up to everybody," says Erik Stubblebine, founder and vice president of Hyburn, a Phoenix company that has sold instant CDs for dozens of concerts in the past three years. "They're trying to squeeze us."
