SuperMusique présente
Ensemble SuperMusique: Palimpseste d'orchestre
1 et 2 avril 2005, 20h30
Usine C - 345, rue Lalonde
18$; 12$ étudiants
Afin de célébrer les 25 ans de Productions SuperMusique,
les directrices artistiques Joane Hétu, Diane Labrosse et Danielle
Palardy Roger - membres fondatrices des groupes Wondeur Brass, Les Poules,
Justine et de l'Ensemble SuperMusique - ont conçu l'événement
musical Palimpseste d'orchestre, partitions grattées, coupées,
collées et transformées. Développé à
partir d'oeuvres écrites depuis le collectif Wondeur Brass jusqu'à
aujourd'hui, Palimpseste d'orchestre présente une réécriture,
un remixage et une transformation de ces musiques. Cet événement
représentera les grandes tendances de la musique actuelle telles
qu'elles ont été mises de l'avant par Productions SuperMusique
depuis 1979. Les trois oeuvres qui forment le programme de Palimpseste
d'orchestre nous feront également vivre une expérience
acousmatique. En effet, la musique interprétée sur scène
par l'Ensemble SuperMusique sera traitée en direct par les sonorisateurs
Bernard Grenon et Martin Léveillé et sera spatialisée
par l'électroacousticien Jean-François Denis, via un ensemble
de haut-parleurs disposés dans le public.
Programme
Joane Hétu: Zig Zag en forme de chants (extraits de chansons
en forme de chant-mosaïque)
Diane Labrosse: Retour sur les lieux du crime (détours, zappings
et déjà vus)
Danielle Palardy Roger: Music Mnésic (là où la
mémoire nous revient à travers un brouillard de sons)
Ensemble SuperMusique: Pierre Cartier, basse électrique, contrebasse,

Commons Service Group
document ressource - Journée Internationale des Femmes
The Commons Service Group est un collectif curatorial basé à
l'Ecole du Magasin (Centre National d'Art Contemporain) à Grenoble,
France. Le Commons Service Group a, la semaine passée, produit
et publié sur le web un document ressource à l'occasion
de la Journée Internationale des Femmes. Ce document ressource
offre une liste de liens vers plusieurs projets artistiques féministes
et organisations. Cette modeste ressource reflète nos backgrounds
respectifs et offre des connections entre la France et le Canada. Le
Commons Service Group reconnaît l'apport des artistes féministes
et leur travail de recherche pour l'art et en matière politique.
En parallèle, le Commons Service Group se préoccupe du
devenir de la production culturelle face au développement des
échanges globalisants et exclusivement marchands. Aussi, informe-t-il
ces questions en compilant des liens traitant des questions de Féminisme,
Culture et Mondialisation. Le Commons Service Group a choisi de devenir
un relais, pour les champs de l'Art et de la Culture, de certaines questions
d'ordre social, économique et politique que pose la mondialisation.
Il interroge les accords promus par l'OMC. C'est le mandat qu'il se
donne
comme producteur artistique.

PERFORMANCE
2 female attendants (wrappers)

Training and practice should take place at least a day or two before the first performance.
Specifications:
… Dress: simple, white shirt, tan or grey pants, no jewellery, quiet footwear.
… Attitude: nurturing, attention directed to the task at hand, caring (making the participate feel at ease and comfortable).
… Movements: gentle and smooth.
… Conversation: quietly, kept to a minimum and on the task at hand.
… Teamwork: constant eye contact, performing each step of the wrapping in synchronicity.Wrapping Instructions for Wrappers: Unfolding - Wrapping - Unwrapping - Folding
Always work in unison and from opposite sides of the glass table.
Make sure that the participant is comfortable when wrapping.
Ask the participant to remove his or her shoes and outerwear. Note: gets warm in the cloth.Unfolding:
… Remove ties from between the folds of the copper taffeta, and unroll.
… Drape and position 2 ties across the table, for the shoulders and lower chest, and 1 tie for the ankles.
… Rhythmically and simultaneously, unfold cloth from both ends, one triangular at a time.
… Methodically unfold the lengthwise folds one at a time. If necessary, straighten the cloth so it drapes evenly over the table onto the floor.
Wrapping (see diagrams):
1. Invite the participant to lie down on his or her back in the centre of the table (the head placed at the end where the 2 ties are located). The arms rest along the body and the legs together.
2. Starting at the feet, grad the corners of the cloth and gently drape the body, folding it down if necessary (do not cover the head). Secure by lightly tucking the top layer under the body, keeping the bottom layer free.
3. Repeat step 2 at the head.
4. At the head, fold the sides of the cloth by pulling in the corners towards the neck forming a triangle. Hold in place.
5. Tightly pull the corners created by the triangles across the body, overlapping one side over the other.
6. If needed, gently lift the head and shoulders to reposition ties. Work together to secure the cloth in place at the shoulder and chest area: one holds the cloth in place, while the other knots the ties and makes bows. Neatly twist the ends and loops around the ties.
7. At the feet, fold the sides of the cloth by pulling in the corners towards the leg forming a triangle. Hold in place.
8. Tightly pull the corners created by the triangles across the body, overlapping one side (the opposite of the one chosen when securing the upper body, twisting the edges) over the other.
9. If needed, gently lift the legs to reposition the tie. Work together to secure the cloth in place at the lower legs: one holds the cloth in place, while the other knots the ties and makes bows. Neatly twist the ends and loops around the ties.
Let the participant know that you are leaving the room but will be checking up on him or her in 10 minutes (halfway through the wrapped session). Keep an eye on the participant, but do not remain in the room.
Unwrapping (see diagrams):
10. Starting at the head, untie, smooth out and drape the ties over the table. Pull the cloth out from the folds until you find the corners. Slowly unveil the top part of the body, draping the cloth over the floor.
11. At the feet, untie, smooth out and drape the ribbon over the table. Grab the corners of the bottom half of the cloth and slowly pull it away, draping the cloth over the floor.
12. Invite the participant to get up slowly when he or she is ready.
Folding (see diagrams):
13. At extreme ends of the table, squat. With one hand, hold the cloth taut; with the other, grad the corner of the edge and fold it in a third of the width.
14. Repeat step 13 with the opposite edge. Pull the cloth taut.
15. Tightly fold-in one corner towards the outer edge (the same side from both ends), keeping the other corner in place, forming a triangle.
16. Simultaneously continue the process until you meet in the middle.
17. Adjust the triangles to create a square. Roll the ties tightly and puck inside the folds of the cloth. Centre the square in the middle of the table.
Remind the participant to write his or her comments in the notebook (date, time, place, name, and experience).

__-_ARTIVISTIC: ART.INFORMATION.ACTIVISM/E--_-
http://artivistic.omweb.org/
Artivistic est un événement transdisciplinaire international
et interuniversitaire qui s'intéresse à l'interaction
entre l'art, l'information et l'activisme. Cet événement
se déroulera du 22 au 24 septembre 2005 à Montréal.
Trois considérations, qui s’entrecroisent, sont à
la base de l’événement de cette année :
- Quel rapport entretenez-vous avec la rue? (ou Pourquoi l’activisme
est-il associé à la rue?)
- À qui appartient votre corps/votre esprit?
- Qui est en droit de communiquer?

virtual sense only.
Protocol: The artists' concept will be presented on the Internet. The
works may question notions of actuality, reality, and virtuality, challenge

of vital artistic practice. All forms of conceptual art, idea art, potential
and hypothetical works, and web-specific projects will be considered
for posting.

(if working in a collective capacity), and a detailed description of

further work may be viewed. Textual, diagrammatic, illustrative, photographic,
moving image, sound, coded forms may appear as part of the final work.
Content chosen for publication will have a total file size under 10MB.
Please send proposal submissions to <mailto:fort9@liminalprojects.org>

heading, by March 25th 2005.
Archival: The project will be hosted permanently on <http://www.fort9.net>
http://www.fort9.net beginning in April of 2005. Fort9 is an interdisciplinary
arts collective currently based in Victoria, BC, Canada.
Project Mandate: < unCON'T.ained inFORMATION > is an endeavor
that aspires to augment the continual formation of creative concepts
over the web. It seeks to assist artists in gaining access to publishing
works in a virtual context, and explore the essence of the art idea
unrestricted by time, space, means of technical production, and freedom
from object-centred
practice.
