Quotes / Zitate:
“This is an example of what I want to be able to do:
Save DocumentA and B
At a later date, add DocumentC
Modify DocumentB and delete DocumentA
At a later date, create DocumentD and add it.”

„… die documenta hat die Kunstwelt immer wieder erschüttert, ob in armen, nach Kunst dürstenden Nachkriegszeiten, in aufrührerischen Revolte-Jahren, in der unbeschwerten Epoche des ausgehenden 20. Jahrhunderts oder dem von der Globalisierung geprägten Jahrhundertwechsel. Die documenta-Geschichte ist eine Geschichte der Niederlagen, des Zweifels, der Skandale und gleichzeitig der Erneuerung, der Erkenntnis, der künstlerischen Produktivkraft. Immer aber war sie eine Erfolgsgeschichte …“ Glasmeier, Michael; Stengel, Karin: documenta Archäologie, in: 50 Jahre/Years documenta 1955–2005; 2 Bände: Diskrete Energien/archive in motion; Kassel 2005, S. 9 “Who is your public?” F.

ANTI-DROME
Leaving “GEHIRNGESPINSTE - Neuroanatomie für kybernetisch Interessierte” (Brain Weaves - Neuroanatomy for the Cybernetically Concerned) of Prof. Dr. Valentin Braitenberg (1973, Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, NY) at the opening of “VIDEODROME” (curated by Aaron Moulton) in the Autocenter, Berlin at 04/06/2010.
Anti-Drome approaches Cronenberg´s trope through the means of radical shortlived changes of membrane potential in nerve cells which are said to constitute our perception and thinking. Dromic or anti-dromic denotes the propagation of these impulses (or action potentials) along the main conduct (or axon) of pyramidal brain cells in the normal or abnormal direction. An action potential in an excited nerve cell may travel towards the signal transferring ends (or synapses) of a nerve cell which is called “dromic excitation” or towards the cell body called “anti-dromic excitation”. Titled “anti-drome” at p. 27, the only page in the book with the headline “Spikes (Aktionspotentiale)”.
“Call the strings or rods that move the puppet the weave. It might be objected that its multiplicity resides in the person of the actor, who projects it into the text. Granted; but the actor´s nerve fibers in turn form a weave, and they fall through the gray matter, the grid, into the undifferentiated. The interplay approximates the pure activity of weavers attributed in the myth to the Fates or Norns.” Ernst Jünger (1974) Approaches; drogues et ivresse (Paris: Table Ronde), p. 304, sec. 218

EXHIBITION TEXT – – – – – – –
EQUINOX*
19.March - 27. March -version Despina Stokou
01.April - 09.April - version Silja Leifsdottir
2 curators-2 shows-the same artists
For the next show the Grim Projects curators invite Berlin Artists to take part in a curatorial experiment. Artists are invited to submit work proposals for the exhibition on an A4 page. They are asked to include visuals and information about the work such as title, dimensions, installation guidelines and refrain from giving any further details on their vita, galleries or other works.
The two Grim Projects curators review the submitted works separately and each chooses the ones she believes will make up the perfect group show.
The first show will be curated by Stokou and will be inaugurated in the absence of Leifsdottir (at the time on a residency in Island) on the 19. March. The second show, curated by Leifsdottir, ignorant of any details about the first show, will be inaugurated on the first of April.
What makes up a good exhibition? How many exhibitions can be curated out of the same group of artists? Is there an endless number of ways to put up the same group of art works or is there only one? Can two persons of different backgrounds and preferences come to the same or similar result using the same material?
All the submitted A4 pages will be printed, unedited, making up the catalogue of the exhibition.
*A common misunderstanding as to the word Equinox (Latin aequus-equal and nox-night) is that it is often interpreted to mean: “equal day and night,” but this is not strictly true. Equinoxes are not days (or nights), but rather the points in time, twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun; the Sun being vertically above a particular point on the Equator.
What is true however about the equinoxes is that two observers at the same distance north and south of the equator will experience nights of equal length…
