Eisenstein’s Monster in Rome

My Eisenstein’s Monster will be part of the exhibition at the DARC – General Direction for Contemporary Architecture and Art and MAXXI – National Museum of the XXI Century Arts (via Guido Reni 2f, Rome), from 4 December until 2 March 2008, with a private opening on 3 December. The show has already had a short review on Rhizome, and was mentioned on the Turbulence Networked_Performance research blog yesterday (though the author has unfortunately reproduced the curator’s ‘Einstein’ typo – which having just read Martin Amis’ Einstein’s Monsters, I do understand!).

New on the Electronic Book Review: Electropoetics

http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/electropoetics

In the latest selection from the Electronic Book Review, Associate Editor Lori Emerson brings together both critics and creators of electronic poetry, some of whom established themselves at the very start and many more who are recent entrants in the field of electronic literature. Essays on print poetry as well as born digital poetry help to situate the field in both a trans-disciplinary and trans-national context.

The collection (more than twenty essays in all) includes three review-essays on the Electronic Literature Collection (volume 1), published by the ELO: “How to Think (with) Thinkertoys” by Adalaide Morris; “Letters That Matter” by John Zuern; and “Electronic Literature circa WWW (and Before)” by Chris Funkhouser. New essays on and by Douglas Barbour, Michael Barrett, Greg Betts, Christof Bruno, Charles Bernstein, Stephen Cain, Robert Creeley, Clayton Eshleman, Alan Fisher, Eduardo Kac, Hugh Kenner, Walter Benn Michaels, Jay Murphy, Janet Neigh, Soren Pold, Christopher Nolan, Jaishree Odin, Tom Raworth, Maggie O’Sullivan, Stephanie Strickland, Angela Szczepaniak, Steve Tomasula, and Eugene Thacker.

Movement and the Single Screen: 3 day workshop, Bristol – 27-29 January 2008


Movement and the Single Screen

This 3-day practical and Inspirational workshop investigates movement and performance within the context of single-screen video practice and is led by artist filmmaker Miranda Pennell.

Participants will explore a range of formal ideas through a combination of screenings, discussions and practical research. In particular, attention will be paid to the specificity of video/film language in its relationship to movement composition and performance, and to the nature of cross-art form dialogue. The emphasis of the workshop is on experimentation and on collaboration.

27th, 28th and 29th January 2008

£80 (There are a small number of bursaries available of up to £50 to assist attendees who are coming from further afield with their travel/accommodation costs)

Picture This,
Corner of Sydney Row & Mardyke Ferry Road,
Bristol BS1 6UU
