throwing some names into a hat

Jump to Comments

some names i suggested in today’s meeting:

archigram (website ; wikipedia page )

jakob kolding ( gallery website ) – the website has some good texts by jorg heiser and jan verwoert

claire fontaine ( website )

christodoulos panayiotou ( website ; the work i referred to about the ferry is called “To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause – Utopian songs with Kristian Kristensen”)
The work consists of the recording of a live concert with 7 songs, which originate from Hollywood musicals of the cold war period. The 7 songs treat the weather and natural catastrophes. Through the weather metaphors the songs imply a utopian tomorrow.
The songs are the following:
‘Tomorrow’ from ‘Annie’
‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ from ‘The Wizard of Oz’
‘Climb every mountain’ from ‘The Sound of Music’
‘My favorite things’ from ‘The Sound of Music’
‘When you walk through the storm’ from ‘Carousel’
‘The impossible dream’ from The Man of La Mancia
‘Somewhere’ from ‘West Side Story’

simon and tom bloor ( website ; the kisok projects )

democracia ( website ; the work i was thinking about was “welfare state (smash the ghetto)”)

barbara visser ( the text she wrote for the zuid amsterdam)

lara almecequi ( guide to ruined buildings ; the wastelands project )

that’s it for now.
