EVENTS IN 2009

2009 - THE YEAR OF THE LAST NUMBER

A holon on the n level of an output hierarchy is represented on the (n+1) level as a unit, and triggered into action as a unit. A holon, in other words, is a system of relata which is represented on the next higher level as a relatum. (Arthur Koestler)

13 March 2009. Friday, 6 p.m. - Artpool P60

Electroacoustic improvisation trio

Thanos Chrysakis (laptop), Oli Mayne (vibraphone) and Jerry Wigens (clarinet) perform a set of electroacoustic improvisations - accompanied by Mick Grierson’s projected visual images (30-40 min).

Their improvisations are based on spectral confluences and collisions directed beyond a categorical approach to sound. They have worked together and in different formations, in a number of recordings and appearances in London. A new CD release called ‘Instant-Cascade-Distant’ in which they participate comes out in June on the Aural Terrains record label.

In a separate gallery-room and as part of the performance there will be a video installation by Thanos Chrysakis as a re-thinking of the momentary, the distance between and what bridges the mundane with the sublime.

NEW EVENTS

Galántai House, directly
Artpool/Kapolcs memori/al

The “Newkapolcs Gallery” project (1991-1995), holonically (as a whole and a part) organised in György Galántai’s house was an important part in the 30-year-long history of Artpool. The prolonged renovation of the house was finished in 2009, and, to celebrate this, the house appears in the exhibition with an integral approach as a holonic memori/al in the exhibition space opening from the street.
