Marcel-lí Antúnez Roca website

The Draughtsman is an immersion in Marcel·lí's work, life, creative processes and artistic obsessions. The drawing of a large mural and a series of animations build up the fabric of the film, which, narrated in the first person, shows us this artist's own private universe.
The Draughtsman takes a look at contemporary art, from the beginning of the eighties until today, through Marcel·lí's performances and installations.

Artist Daan Roosegaarde and V2_Lab are looking for two fashion designers (M/F) to contribute to the 'Intimacy' series.

'Intimacy White' (2009), the first dress in the series, is made out of smart foil that becomes transparent when electrified. The distance of a spectator to the dress determines the level of transparency. This first dress received a lot of media attention and is considered highly successful. V2_Lab and Daan Roosegaarde now intend to make a series of 'Intimacy' dresses, each playing with a different material to create a sensual play of shared control.


'Intimacy Lotus' is a new heat-sensitive material by Studio Roosegaarde, responding and physically moving to the subtlest amount of warmth. We invite one designer to create a new interactive dress with the Lotus foil.


'Intimacy Black' is the dark sister of 'Intimacy White'.


We invite one designer to create accessories with the black foil that become
transparent when electrified.


Daan Roosegaarde says: ‘Technology is used here not merely functional but also as a tool to create intimacy as well as privacy on a direct, personal level ... which in our contemporary tech society is becoming increasingly important.’


In order to take this step from one dress to a series of fashion items, V2_Lab and Daan Roosegaarde are looking for:

  • Recently graduated or senior year fashion designers (M/F);
  • He or she must be able to participate in thought process along the lines set out by V2_Lab and Studio Roosegaarde in the preliminary stages and therefore must be a good team player;
  • He or she must be ambitious and determined to achieve our request for success;
  • The project starts on 1 May 2010. It is a full-time position for a period of 8 weeks.

What we offer:

  • Access to functioning new technology, an existing prototype and an artist' Impression of the intended final product;
  • A workplace at V2_Lab;
  • The opportunity to collaborate with an experienced, interdisciplinary team;
  • Technical support and backup;
  • Exhibition of the end result;
  • Name credit.

Please send your resume/portfolio and motivation before 15 April, preferably by email, to piem@v2.nl

2011 Call for Participation, open to members of the Leonardo Education
and Art Forum

CAA 99th Annual Conference
New York, NY, February 9–12, 2011


PROPOSALS FOR PAPERS TO SESSION Eddie Shanken
Due May 3, 2010

Leonardo Education Forum
New Media, Art-Science, and Mainstream Contemporary
Art: Toward a Hybrid Discourse?

Edward A. Shanken, University of Amsterdam; eshanken@artexetra.com
Since the mid-1990s, new media has become an important force
for economic and cultural development. Support institutions
including Ars Electronica, ZKM, and Eyebeam have expanded,
while interdisciplinary PhD programs at the intersections of
art, science, and technology have proliferated internationally.
Simultaneously, mainstream contemporary art experienced
dramatic growth, propelled by the proliferation of venues from
Art Basel Miami to the Shanghai Biennial, and by the creativity
of artists, curators, dealers, and pedagogues. Yet rarely do these
two art worlds meet. As a result, their discourses have increasingly
diverged. To what extent are art-science, new media art,
and mainstream contemporary art commensurable? Is it possible
to construct a hybrid discourse that offers insights into each,
while enabling greater mixing between them? What roles have
educational programs played in fostering these divides and how
can they contribute to suturing them? What insights into larger
questions of emerging art and cultural forms might be gleaned
by such a rapprochement?

Every proposal should include the following six items:
1. Completed session participation proposal form, located at the
end of this brochure.
2. Preliminary abstract of one to two double-spaced, typed
pages.
3. Letter explaining speaker’s interest, expertise in the topic, and
CAA membership status.
4. CV with home and office mailing addresses, email address,
and phone and fax numbers. Include summer address and
telephone number, if applicable.
5. Documentation of work when appropriate, especially for sessions
in which artists might discuss their own work.
6. If mailing internationally, it is recommended that proposals be
sent via certified mail.

CHAIRS DETERMINE THE SPEAKERS FOR THEIR SESSIONS
AND REPLY TO ALL APPLICANTS BY JUNE 1, 2010.

Dance Research Electronic: Call for Papers
Special Issue:
Dance and Neuroscience - New Partnerships


Guest Editors:
Corinne Jola, Frank Pollick, and Dee Reynolds

Introduction

‘You get a sense of when the moment is right for something – and for dance,
this is that moment’ (Duncan Gray, commissioning editor of entertainment for
Sky 1). Gray’s statement is a response to the explosion of interest in dance in
the UK.
The current fascination with dance is visible in manifold ways, such as a steep
rise in the number of boys applying to ballet school, increased audience
members for TV, screen and live dance, but also in the numbers participating in
dance, from clubs to community centres. At the same time, the moment is right
for dance-neuroscience partnerships. With current technological developments,
neuroscientists are extending the boundaries of our knowledge of the human
brain. In particular, results from research using brain imaging techniques have
caught the public imagination. Neuroscientists are drawn to study dance
because, as a highly complex form of movement, it offers a fertile field to
explore mind-body processes as well as the neural basis of aesthetics. In turn,
neuroscience offers dance scholars new insights on long-standing debates
concerning mind-body relations in choreographing, performing and watching
dance.

This field has garnered widespread interest, as evidenced by recent research
and public exposure. In ‘The Dancer’s Body: A Machine that Dances’ (BBC
2, September-October 2003), former Royal Ballet prima ballerina Deborah Bull
investigated the science of dance, featuring both choreographers and brain
scientists.
Thinking in Four Dimensions: Creativity and Cognition in Contemporary
Dance
, appeared in 2005 (Grove et al. 2005). Key studies, including Calvo-Merino et al, 2005 and 2006 and Cross 2008, drew on findings about the so-called mirror neuron system to investigate the relationship between expertise in performing dance and brain activity when watching it. Their conclusions about the influence of motor expertise on brain activity when watching dance have provided a powerful catalyst to debates about kinesthetic empathy in dance spectators (Foster, 2008). Tanz im Kopf / Dance and Cognition (Birringer & Fenger) appeared in 2005. Several interdisciplinary research projects are exploring related issues, and numerous recent symposia and workshops have addressed dance/neuroscience questions. These include The Dancing Brain (Dana Foundation, London, 2003), Dance and the Brain (Frankfurt, 2004), Dance, Movement in Time and Space (with Mark Morris; Society for Neuroscience,Washington DC, 2008), The Embodied Mind (Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation,2008); Research Workshop on Dance and Cognitive Neurosciences (Experimental Psychology Society, London, 2009). Research publications in this field continue to appear (e.g. Calvo-Merino et al, 2008, deLahunta et al, 2009), and Ivar Hagendoorn and Thomas Komendzinski are currently editing a special issue of Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences on Dance and Cognitive Science (forthcoming, Fall 2010). Clearly, the dance-neuroscience duet is in the spotlight.

Topics

New partnerships require flexibility and open-mindedness. With the Special
Issue on ‘Dance and Neuroscience – New Partnerships’ we aim to provide a
platform for original research that is relevant to both fields and is presented
in accessible terms We welcome contributions which report the results of
original empirical research and/or which review and assess existing
scholarship, on condition that they throw new light on key issues and
point to innovative directions for the future. As this is an online issue, we
welcome use made by authors of illustrations, film and music clips. Topics we
wish to explore include, but are not limited to, the following:
• What insights do we gain from neuroscientific research on cognitive,
emotional, and physical experiences related to dance and how? For example:
• the multimodal sensory processing used by dancers and dance spectators;
• the reasons why people enjoy performing and watching dance;
• how dancers respond to one another in the group dynamic;
• what neural processes come into play in the act of choreographing dance;
• how choreographers communicate with their dancers, and how dancers visualise
cues and embody them kinesthetically
• What claims made by neuroscience relate to existing debates in dance studies
and how;
• What other disciplines can/should be used to expand/critique knowledge gained
through neuroscience and how? For example:
• Existing or prospective collaborations of neuroscientists and other
disciplines (e.g. cultural studies, philosophy, anthropology, sociology,
qualitative audience research, critical theory) to research this field

Outlines

Prospective contributors are invited to
send a 500-word outline by email to
Katherine.Popperwell@manchester.ac.uk
by 1 May 2010
. Abstract submissions will
be subject to blind refereeing procedures. Articles will be chosen for further
consideration by 1 June 2010 and must be submitted in draft by 1 October 2010,
and the definitive version by 30 January 2011. Texts should normally not exceed
7,000 words, including endnotes. However, while concision improves chances of
publication, serious consideration will be given to submissions where the
nature and quality of the content justify greater length. Submissions
must conform to the
Dance Research Electronic
stylesheet, which is available upon request.
Dance Research Electronic welcomes use made by authors of illustrations,
film and music clips, providing the author has secured permission to reproduce
these materials from the copyright holder. All necessary copyright permissions
must be arranged by individual authors in advance of publication.
Enquiries are most welcome, and should be addressed by email to
Dee.Reynolds@manchester.ac.uk.

From dancespace project site

After several years of experimental ensemble investigation,
award-winning choreographer Deborah Hay returns to solo
performance in response to an invitation by Juliette Mapp and Danspace
Project. In No Time To Fly, she partners with long-time
collaborator, lighting designer Jennifer Tipton, whose work has
been pivotal to Hay’s aesthetic vision over the last decade.

During her evening-length solo, Hay seeks to open the door to sustained
moments of non-linear learning for the performer and the audience alike.
“If I am to really admit and celebrate the ephemeral nature of dance,
then I must learn to see, experience, and respect time passing.”

Dança em foco: production call-for-entries

For this year’s edition, dança em foco – Festival Internacional de Vídeo Dança is launching two grant programs for videodance creation/production. The initiative was made possible because of the new sponsorship of
Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company.


“Historically, dança em foco always supported diffusion and training. Even in our partnerships, we were always concerned with screening videodance and contextualize it through
workshops, debates with local artists etc. Since 2002 we had the idea of
a grant program, but we still couldn’t make it happen. In 2007 we had a
program that awarded videos created for cell phones. This year we
managed to make both happen!”, Paulo Caldas, one of the curators,
celebrates.


The festival will award in the Vídeo1′ program videodances recorder with cell-phone cameras. The videos must be sent until April 23 and they must last up to one minute. Each creator
will be allowed to submit one project and it must have been made from
January 2009 on. Those selected will receive an award of R$ 1.000 and
will be screened at dança em foco 2010.


In the Vídeo5′ program, screenplays for a videodance production of up to 5 minutes will be selected. The projects must be sent until April 30. Those selected will receive from R$ 3.000
to R$ 6.000, according to the project’s budgets.


Both programs seek to award projects that integrate dance and video as an autonomous composition. Besides the two, Rumos Itaú is another program aimed exclusively at the research and
production of videodance. It recently screened the result of its last
edition. Given the growing interest in the videodance language, many
questions arise about what fits into this form of expression.

For Caldas, this debate will go on for a while. “Any difficulty in thinking about videodance is an unfoldment of the issues that emerge with contemporary dance. They are potentiated in the
videodance context. All the tension of experimentation in dance also
appears in videodance. In the curatorship process, I try to look for
movement principles in that piece. It could be the body, editing or
camera. This makes a connection between cinema and dance.”


The regulation is available at the festival’s website. More information may be obtained at edital@dancaemfoco.com.br.

On March 26, Parsons and MoMA with IFF, Seed, and Coty present Headspace: On Scent as
Design.


Headspace is a one-day symposium on the conception, impact, and potential applications of scent. This event gathers leading thinkers, designers, scientists, artists, established perfumers as well as
"accidental perfumers" (a selection of architects, designers, and chefs
invited to experiment with scent) to acknowledge scent as a new
territory for design and begin to draft the outline of this new
practice. The event marks the establishment of a new MFA
in Transdisciplinary Design
at Parsons.

ACDFA Reflections

ACDFA Central Region's 2010 conference is now over, and was a great time for our class! On Saturday, March 20th, we presented "Snack Time", an interactive presentation/demonstration of our explorations in telematic dance performance.

The presentation was great success, and the students who participated really enjoyed learning about the ideas and technologies, and mostly they enjoyed the DANCING! Some highlights of our two-hour workshop:

Interactive activities:
-"Herd" score exploring motion-based control of stage lighting
-Improvised score with two spatially displaced (far away) musicians (Felipe and Justin) from SARC in Belfast (http://www.sarc.qub.ac.uk/main.php), and one local (in the dance space) musician (Jeff).

Demonstration modules of the session:
-An off-site introduction to the session by Melissa via skype
-Introduction to DMX lighting control
-Video motion tracking with Isadora (http://www.troikatronix.com/isadora.html)
-Programming of interactive lighting and video visualization using MAX (http://cycling74.com/products/maxmspjitter/)
-High-quality, low-latency, two-way multi-channel audio tranmission via JackTrip (http://code.google.com/p/jacktrip/)

The students enjoyed exploring the interactive creative environment made possible by digital technologies. Both students from our class and those visiting for ACDFA are now challenged to imagine new ways that movement can create meaningful, engaging experiences for audiences and participants alike.

I witnessed a strange travel as a spectacle.

A spectacle with an installation as a scenography but also as a structure, almost a dramatic structure.

Imagine an audiovisual installation, where you can listen to music and poems, where you can watch images through video, and see and listen to people who are interviewed about their past, a terrible one.

Imagine a dancer as a poet who sometimes dances, but most of the time he moves his body in slow motion, pushing buttons which turn on music, video or a microphone. The poet recites his poems in a quickly and monotonous way, poems with hard images of his past and images from his last travel to Indochina.

Imagine this poet as a dancer who dance beautifully, in some moments doing it only with his hands with a dark background, then you can only see his hands in movement, like in a photographs with lines of light of a city by night.

Rachid Ouramdane dances very little his poetry, exposes his past through words, through images, in a travel to his father's destiny in Indochina; he exposes all about this travel and its origins as in an art gallery, exhibiting it.

Imagine that we can not feel any identification with him because he never opens the door to it. Even without identification there is no place for a Brechtian theory, this spectacle is only an exhibition, far from theatre and drama, but it is an installation in movement, an installation on stage which speaks and dances.

This is the first time I got this experience from a dance spectacle and I'm interested in what will happen with this strange structure.

Should I say I liked it?


No video allowed inside Enwave Theatre but you can see a video in Youtube with some images of this dance (Loin) and other works.
