Release: on September 8, Other Minds Records releases Current, three recent works by 2019 Guggenheim Fellow Samuel Adams.
Performed: by Karen Gomyo (violin), Conor Hanick (piano) and Spektral Quartet.
Artwork: by Alexandra Roozen, from the Plain Dust series, 160×120 cm, pencil on paper

On September 8, 2023, Other Minds Records releases Current, recent works by 2019 Guggenheim Fellow Samuel Carl Adams, two of which are world premiere recordings. The title work, Current, (world premiere recording), scored for string quartet and resonating snare drums, is performed by the Spektral Quartet, which co-commissioned the piece with Cal Performances; this album marks one of the group’s last projects as an ensemble. At the 2022 premiere in Berkeley, the San Francisco Chronicle called Current “a superbly inviting meditation on our old friends harmony, rhythm and rhetoric,” adding that the work represents “a powerfully precise convergence of ambition and means.” Bookending that large-scale work are Violin Diptych (world premiere recording), performed by violinist Karen Gomyo and pianist Conor Hanick, and Shade Studies, a piano solo performed by Hanick with electronics. Current is available for pre-order here:

CAN REON presents its first festival in the hills above Tiana, Barcelona area, Spain. On Saturday May 27, contemporary music, dance, visual arts will meet and interact with the wild and natural location.

During the Can Reon Festival 2023 two video installations by Dutch artist Marjan Laaper will be shown: “Encounter” and the video installation: “Breathe”.

Marjan Laaper specialises in large-scale video projections, installations, and art commissions in public space.

The life cycles of humans and nature play an important role in her video work and installations. The work does not provide clear answers but shows recognisable elements that raise questions. Her videos symbolically refer to universal aspects of existence.

In the 2 video installations from the serie: “Longing for Paradise” animals play the leading part. The videos are filmed from 1 point of view. The videos use “congealed time”; ephemeral moments are stretched into an everlasting “state of being”.


CAN REON FESTIVAL 2023
Moving between the old and the new, between the local and the universal, between technology and nature, CAN REON creates a new experience for all the senses. CAN REON festival lasts one long evening and offers an experience for all senses with an innovative, cutting edge and eclectic program of concerts, performances, art installations and happenings, all accompanied by wine and food.

What is CAN REON Festival?
It is a unique experience where contemporary music, dance and visual arts meets excellent wine and innovative food.

What day is it celebrated?
On May 27, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight.

Where is the Festival?
Set in the hills above Tiana, just 20 minutes from Barcelona, the Festival takes place in CASINO DE TIANA, Carrer Edith Llaurador, 4–18, 08391. Tiana, Barcelona.

The festival offers contemporary, innovative and cutting-edge performances and happenings that will take place all over the festival location.

VOORAANKONDIGING

much less aeons. What does seventy million years mean to beings who live only one-millionth as long? We are like butterflies who flutter for one day and think it is forever.’ Carl Sagan

The Chinese European Art Centre

Rolling Snowball 14, Xiamen
Xiamen Powerlong Art Center, China
April 30th to June 11th 2022.
Group exhibition.

In celebration of Sino-Dutch artistic and cultural exchange, the Chinese European Art
Centre (CEAC) will present 35 artists from China and the Netherlands.
Marjan Laaper (Rotterdam, 1971), shows two works from the series: “Longing for paradise”
at the Xiamen Powerlong Art Center in China. The video-installation: “A sense of wonder” and
the video-installation: “Encounter”, in which animals play the leading part. The videos are filmed
from 1 point of view and show “congealed time”; ephemeral moments are stretched into an
everlasting “state of being”. The animals in the video-installations have become metaphors and symbols.
The exhibition is hosted by the Xiamen Powerlong Art Center and the
Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Guangzhou.

Xiamen Powerlong Art Center is located in the Roof Garden of Powerlong One Mall, Jinshan
Road, Siming District, in the east of Xiamen Island, the coast of the East China Sea.

official opening 6 Feb 15.00
For sculptor Caroline Coolen (Bree, Belgium, 1975), the use of collage, montage, assemblage, and free association is a way to get a grip on reality. Her aim is to transform the outside world – or Umwelt, as she calls it – and to compress it into a single overall impression: sensitive and sensory like a plant, instinctive and intuitive like an animal, and rational and irrational like a person.

Her work is multisensory in nature: she connects the visual and the tactile with a range of textures and materials. She often presents her sculptures and large drawings as total installations. Some works, left unfinished for years, suddenly spring to completion after she adds new, complementary components.

Caroline Coolen is exhibiting works at Club Solo that are the result of her travels, such as Chum (2016), which combines an outdoor sculpture with a nomadic tent.

TRACES PROJECT

Alexandra Roozen’s TRACES project includes a short video (https://vimeo.com/656516361) and a series of 48 machine drawings (launch in 2022). An unconventional drawing technique mastered through experimentation. With the focus on rotation and sound, as well as the mechanical force versus taming the line into a shape.
The design of the drawings is based on two scores that composer Willem Boogman wrote about the work of Alexandra Roozen (the Plain Dust and Seen by Hand series), performed by the renowned Ives Ensemble in Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ in Amsterdam.
The TRACES project is made possible thanks to filmmaker Inouschka de Nooijer, Center for Visual Arts Rotterdam and Stichting Droom en Daad.
