Ende August wird eine Komposition des sächsischen Komponisten und Jazzers Günter Heinz, der in diesem Jahr für drei Monate Stipendiat der Kulturstiftung des Freistaates Sachsen ist, zur Uraufführung kommen. Die Performance „Briefe aus Rauch“ wird anlässlich des Literaturfestivals „BARDINALE“ aufgeführt.

The composer and Jazz musician Günter Heinz, who this year was awared a 3 month scolarship by the Cultural Foundation of Saxony, will perform his work, as special guest at this years international poetry festival “BARDINALE”, “Briefe aus Rauch” (letters of smoke) for the first time in public at the end of August in Dresden and Freiberg.

Das Werk bezieht sich auf Texte des zeitgenössischen spanischen Dichters

Juan Carlos Valle „Karlotti“.

Es ist von höchster Konzentration, aber auch von größter Empfindsamkeit – wie die Worte des Dichters. Die Texte werden von Vanessa Vidal (Valencia) in Originalsprache und auf Deutsch vorgetragen. Einzelne Worte, wie hingeworfen. Und doch erzeugen sie Bilder von großer Intensität. Ruairí O’Brien projeziert dafür geschaffene Lichtskulpturen. Günter Heinz und Ruairí O’Brien eröffnen der Sprache mit ihrer Musik- und Lichtkompositionen einen erweiterten Erfahrungsraum, der alle Sinne anspricht.

The composition refers to a text written by the contemporary Spanish poet Juan Carlos Valle “Karlotti”. It is highly concentrated and yet full of sensitivity – as are the words of the poet. The text will be read by Vanessa Vidal (Valencia) in Spanish and in German. Single words, almost thrown into the space, which creates images of great intensity. Ruairí O’Brien “speaks silently” with light and space, the images or hints of images create a window of thought through which one can “see” the voice of the poet.
Günter Heinz and Ruairí O’Brien interact with their music and light compositions which open up a world of further perceptions and possible fresh spatial experiences for the senses of the attentive public.

Günter Heinz entdeckte den Dichter, dessen Texte erstmalig in Deutschland gelesen werden, durch eine Zeitungsnotiz, die ihn (den Musiker) mit Karlotti (dem Dichter) verglich.
Dort schrieb Ildefonzo Rodrigez: „… ich sah etwas, was ich zuvor noch nie gesehen hatte: Günter Heinz, dieser Musiker, der uns immer an Karlotti erinnert hat, gab seiner Posaune während des Konzerts einen Schluck Wein. Feinfühlig (alles an Günter ist feinfühlig, sein Sprudeln, Gurgeln, Glucksen, seine Klangblasen) erhob er ein mit rotem Wein gefülltes Glas und gab seiner Posaune zu trinken. Wie in der uralten Geschichte desjenigen, der Wein und Essen mit seinen Tieren teilt...“

Günter Heinz discovered the poet, whose texts will be read for the first time in Germany, when a newspaper journalist compared them to each other. Heinz the musician and Karlotti the the poet. In the newspaper article the journalist Ildefonzo Rodriguez wrote…”I saw something that I had never seen before..Günter Heinz this musician, who always reminds us of Karlotti, gave his trombone a glass of wine. Sensitive…everything on Günter Heinz is sensitive, his bubbling, spluttering, gurgling, chortling, and his blowing sounds. He lifted his full glass of red wine and gave his trombone a drink. Like in the ancient stories of the past where our forefather shares his food and wine with his trusted animals...”

Vanessa Vidal Mayor studierte Philosophie in Valencia und Mainz und arbeitet zur Zeit im Adorno-Archiv in Berlin an ihrer Dissertation über Kunsterfahrung im Werk von Th. W. Adorno.

Vanessa Vidal Mayor studied Philosophy in Valencia and Mainz and is presently working on her dissertation on the “Kunsterfahrung” (artexperience) in the work of Th. W. Adorno at the Adorno-Archives in Berlin.

Ruairí O’Brien geboren 1962 in Dublin/ Irland, ist Architekt, Lichtplaner und Künstler, lebt und arbeitet seit 1991 in Deutschland. Nach dem Studium der Architektur an Universitäten in London, Edinburgh und New York war er als Projektarchitekt in London, New York, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Dresden und Berlin tätig. 1995 gründete O’Brien sein eigenes Architekturbüro, ansässig in Dresden. O’Brien lehrte an nationalen und internationalen Universitäten in den Fächern Architektur, Lighting Design und Kunst. O’Brien hat Lichtskulpturen und lichtpoetische Performances anderen Kunstgenres und Künstlern gewidmet, häufig aus der Literatur. 2004 gründete er „Light and Word“ mit dem Programmteil Bardinale flows als Experimentierraum des internationalen Poesiefestivals BARDINALE.

Ruairí O’Brien (architect, lighting designer and artist) was born in Dublin / Ireland and has lived and worked in Germany since 1991. He studied architecture at Universities in London, Edinburgh and New York. O’Brien had worked as a project architect in London, New York, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, Dresden and Berlin before he founded his own architecture and design firm in 1995 called Ruairí O’Brien. Architecture. Light. Art. in the city of Dresden. O’Brien has taught architecture, art and light at several Universities in Germany and the Czech Republic. O’Briens work as an artist includes a large series of Light sculptures developed often in hommage to writers and poets of personal interest. In 1994 O’Brien established the festival “Light and Word” to provide a platform for cross over projects to accompany the international poetry festival BARDINALE. A further experimental block”Bardinale flows” allows him to invite guest artists from other art forms to accompany him in developing his genre “lightpoetry”.

Ulysses Workshop „Ulysses“
Das Motiv des Flaneurs und die Kunst zu schauen stehen im Mittelpunkt des Genre übergreifenden Workshops von Ruairí O'Brien.
Bereits Friedrich Nietzsche, Friedrich Schiller und schließlich Karl Gottlob Schelle mit seiner „...Kunst spatzierenzugehen“ empfahlen, die Tätigkeit des Körpers mit der Sinnlichkeit der Eindrücke und der Aktivität des Geistes zu vereinen, damit das freie Spiel der Vorstellungskräfte in Kraft treten könne. Auch James Joyce folgt mit „Ulysses“, seiner gleichnamigen Großstadt-Hommage an das homerische Epos, der Idee, dass bestimmte Gehbewegungen und damit verknüpfte Wahrnehmungsdispositionen zu einer gesteigerten Dynamik des Sehens und einer Transformation in den Zeit-Raum der Großstadt führen.
Die Workshopteilnehmer werden auf einen Stadtspaziergang mitgenommen,an dessen Ende sie eine persönliche 360 ° Reportage erstellt haben werden. Alle notwendigen Arbeitsmaterialien werden gestellt.
Treffunkt ist das Erich Kästner Museum am Albertplatz. Startzeit um 11 Uhr; Workshopende gegen 15 Uhr.

Es wird um Voranmeldung in der Geschäftsstelle bis zum 9.9.09 gebeten.

Vagn Steen

2007-07-16T21:46:00.000+01:00

The danish concrete poet Vagn Steen (b.1928) has let us borrow some of his books for the exhibition and some of his posterpoems will also be exhibited.

Johannes Auer said 'yes'

2007-07-10T15:54:00.000+01:00

The german digital poet Johannes Auer is participating at the Bardinale this year, which I'm personally looking forward to. He will be making a "Vortrag zu Digitaler Poesie "Netzliteratur + Radio" on Friday the 14. september at 20.00 at the Erich Kästner Museum.

Wikipedias definition of Konkrete Poesie

A digital concrete poem!

2007-07-01T09:16:00.000+01:00

A poem by Brian Kim Stefans.

Description version 1.0 (for the exhibition in Erich Kästner museum)

2007-06-28T15:59:00.000+01:00

As a part of our focus on concrete and digital poetry, we want to allow you to explore and experience these forms of poetic expression yourselves.
That’s why we will be presenting different elements of this small, but important field in the history, the now and the future of litterature.

There can be no doubt about the fact that we live in a world made of medias.
We get most of our knowledge about the world told from medias (from television, radio and newspapers). We find the things that interests us on the internet (at homepages which we often find with the assistance of search-engines like Google). But it’s not often we reflect upon the medias themselves.
Instead we interact with our computer, the computers of others and essentially each other, through the different medias. These medias can be apparently direct like the computerinterface (the place where the user meets the machine), complicated technical devices like broadband or apparently natural systems like that of language.
What we tend to forget is that neither the computers with its virtual desktop or our language - which it actually took us a long time (and the writing of a lot of unletterlike letters) to learn - are as immediate as they might appear at first.
The prove of this is shown through our immediate frustration when the computer breaks down. But it can also be seen in the immidiate laughter that often follows when we for some reason misunderstand each other in unexpected and entertaining ways. In both cases we are reminded of the fact that language as well as computer, are in fact controlled by certain rules that makes up their system. These systems tend to be more visible when they for some reasons are put out of function.

Concentrating on the language system it becomes clear that language can be respected by writers in order to tell stories about life and other things, which is the case in most litterature. But it’s also clear that it can be used in a more avantgardistic way by experimenting with the system itself and thereby telling something about language as a system instead. Something similar is also the case with computer. Anyway this volountarily breaking down or research of a system can be done in a pessimistic and critical way or with an optimistic tone, exposing a pure fascination of the material itself. Which one of the two tactics are being used always depends on the nature of the artist.

But no matter the strategy, it’s this kind of experimental litterature we want to present!

On the search of the concrete poem

2007-06-28T13:34:00.000+01:00

A simple search on Zvab (Zentrales verzeichnis antiquarischer bücher) shows that there exists quite a few books on the subject in german. The list can be seen here

Friedrich W. Block

2007-06-22T15:09:00.000+01:00

A link to the page of one of the important thinkers on and off digital poetry. Dr. Friedrich W. Block

The digitalized worm

2007-06-22T14:18:00.000+01:00

Johannes Auer has digitalized one of the most famous concrete poems, being that with the apple and the worm from Reinhard Döhl. The computer has made the worm come alive so to speak. Watch it here

Kunsttot.de

2007-06-22T13:51:00.000+01:00

With the projekt kunsttot.de Johannes Auer is reflecting the constant restauration of artworks and arguing that they should be given the right to a natural death, as well as our society should stop focusing so much on youth.
Interestingly enough this is done in three parts: 1. with a "manifest for the natural death of the work of art", which is using explicit references to the french artist Marcel Duchamp and the futuristic manifesto written by the italian futurist F.T Marinetti. 2. with some animation that follows the idea of the manifesto, which is for example questioning the reasons for the restauration of the Frauen Kirche in Dresden. 3. with an interactiv part which is collecting signatures for the rights of the artworks to a natural death. A description of the work can be found here

Johannes Auer

2007-06-22T12:46:00.000+01:00

I will be posting some thoughts on the german digital poet Johannes Auer (b.1962), whom we hope to able to present at the Bardinale this year, but until that's the case I will write a few things about him here and make a link section to some of his work.

Felix Martin Furtwängler

2007-06-01T09:40:00.001+01:00

The german bookartist Felix Martin Furtwängler (b. 1954) is currently exhibiting book-objects at Sächsische Landesbibliotek - Staatsuniversität bibliothek Dresden (SLUB). This is interesting as far as book-objects is an expression of the same interest in the material as is the case with concrete poetry, the material here being the book instead of the letters. An intro to the exhibition can be found here

Lars Skinnebach

2007-05-04T13:40:00.000+01:00

As a part of the exchange of danish and german writers which will take place in this years Bardinale, we are proud to announce that Lars Skinnebach comes to Dresden, some of his texts can be read in english here

Eduardo Kac

2007-04-27T10:07:00.000+01:00

As a part of the discussion on how concrete poetry evolved from the sixties into other and more visual and complex figures I came across the brasilian born artist Eduardo Kac (b. 1962), who is most famous for manipulating an albino rabbit (who said Alice in Wonderland) so that it, when exposed to ultravioleet light, looks neongreen. This brings forward a whole discussion about nature versus culture, moral questions an so on. In this context however Eduardo Kac is interesting because of his 'invention' of the term "Holopoetry" which as far as I can see is poems written like holograms, but have a look for yourself at his homepage

A difficult recommendation

2007-04-27T09:39:00.000+01:00

For the moment I'm fighting my way through Monika Schmitz-Emans book Die Sprache der modernen Dichtung (1997, München: Fink Verlag) which contains some interesting discussion about modern poetry and especially the part "Positive und negative Schrift. Aspekte einer Poetik konkreter Dichtung" is inspiring. Here she clearly describe how concrete poetry is inspired from Kandinsky (1866-1944) and his distinction between abstract and concrete. Furthermore she describes how the barriers between the genres disappears as a direct result of concrete poetrys way of seeing the work of art just as a thing amongst other things.

Iterature

2007-04-20T09:40:00.000+01:00

This time would like to draw attention to the french artist Christoph Bruno who is experimenting with search-engines as a way of creating poetry, my personal favorite is his "epiphanies" (a name taken from Joyce) where you enter a word and the machine generates haiku like poems from fragments of text found on the net. The homepage is called Iterature.com

Speaking of UBU

2007-04-15T18:48:00.000+01:00

Speaking or writing about Ubu.com I found a lecture on Modern Poets dealing with poetry and technology, given partly by Ubuweb's founder Kenneth Goldsmith at the Museum of Modern Art. It can be podcasted from the homepage under "Think modern" or by inserting this link into podcasts http://www.moma.org/visit_moma/podcasts/feed_thinkmodern.xml - In any case I want to recommend the lectures on MoMAs homepage.

The main link to concrete, digital and avantgarde literature überhaupt

2007-04-10T21:13:00.000+01:00

The first link to be mentioned is also without a doubt the most important: UBUWEB

Welcome

2007-04-10T21:03:00.000+01:00

Since an important part of the Bardinale 2007 is Concrete and Digital Poetry I will try to collect ressources on the subjects. That being books of relevance or links of interest.
