“The Passage Souterrain” ist ein Guerilla-Ausstellungsraum (sprich: Unterführung) in Paris, der seit 2005 vor allem von spanischen, politischen Künstlern bespielt wird, u.a. haben dort bereits ausstellt: Fernando Sanchez Castillo, Jorge Diezma, Santiago Sierra, PSJM uvw. “The Passage Souterrain is a guerrilla art space. Its goal is to develope in-situ and ephymerous interventions by contemporary artists in a public art space. The creators that take part in this process are spanish –south american and spaniard- and for the great part their work is politically engaged. If art is about comunicating visions, exchanging experiences and sharing life, these are the pilars on wich the Passage Souterrain is based.

Bellastock Festival: 13-16. Mai, Paris
Das Architektur/Urbanismus-Festival in Paris: Bellastock – vom 13. bis 16. Mai (der genaue Ort wird noch bekannt gegeben). Thema in diesem Jahr: “The City in a breath” – es soll eine temporäre, aufblasbare Stadt gebaut werden. “At a given moment, Bellastock deploys a localised energy. It offers the possibility to construct an urban fiction reconciling utopia with concrete, logistical problems. A collective experience, Bellastock aims to create, on a micro scale, an urban situation with a relatively unconventional approach to city planning and construction. Addressing issues related to immediate and temporary architecture, as well as promoting dialogue between the multiple agents building the city simultaneously, Bellastock aims to sensitize architects as well as non architects to pertinent questions beyond the immediate field of architectural design. The festival offers a fertile ground for the elaboration of ecological tools and methods. The management logistics are founded upon the same philosophy: the invention of responsible methods, waste treatment, and participation of local industries. In order to develop systems that render the city more energy efficient, the management logistics are conceived in such a manner as to reduce their environmental impact during as well as after the festival. Waste is separated and partially recycled. Local bodies provide catering in order to reduce the environmental cost linked to transport as well as to promote the local economy.” Mehr Informationen gibt´s hier… Tausend Dank für die Info, Simon (und The Wa) – und für den wundervollen Aufenthalt in Paris!

Eric Baudelaire: “Sugar Water”
Die Reklamewand wird zur Leinwand: Durch verschiedene Sequenzen, die immer wieder überklebt werden, erzählt Eric Baudelaire in “Sugar Water” eine narrative Billboard-Tragödie. Den Film (72 Minuten) gibt’s hier: “The film takes place on the fictional Paris metro platform at the fictional Porte d’Erewhon, where a billposter descends into the station to cover a large advertising billboard painted bright blue. He continues to wheat-paste a sequence of images that depict a common car parked on an anonymous Parisian street. He continues by then covering that image with one of the same car busting into flames. The billposter continues until the car becomes swallowed up in smoke, and then remains only as a burnt-out skeleton of the former car. All the while, metro riders enter and exit the scene seemingly oblivious to the slow-motion narrative action taking place. Baudelaire hired a real billposter to lay down the imagery, but the commuters who move in and out of the station are all hired actors, enacting a sort of role reversal in which the person upon whom the single camera focuses is not an actor; the “extras” who fill the background, meanwhile, are.” Via
