be pleased to book!

The black Boudoir is an interpretation motivated by James Lee Byars and made out of drawings by the artist. Dark space, black velvet, naked beauty installed on a long chair... it is the symbol itself of the void and vanity. This work is an echo to The Death of James Lee Byars (1994)...

Primacy of change is in residency at Nadine Plateau 
5TH - 11TH december for winter 2011 with the artist Melika Ngombé 
and the VZW Zebrart 
http://primacyofchange.tumblr.com
http://zebrart.be/artists.php

The primacy of change project is aimed to gather artists who are concerned by a practice of art which could create a social change.
The social change would be a change in their own life but also or indeed in their production.
creating a platform of collaboration with guest artists from abroad and from belgium, the primacy of change is proposing a meeting and discussions around this problematic of an art practice which is taking a political form.
Do you think art could lead a social change ? following some tools of reflexion given by authors, artists and theoretician  we will set a round table to talk about these issues.

/ WTF*!?

http://w-t-f.wikispaces.com

Call it a benefit, a festival, a manifesto,...12 June 2010, 1-10pm @ Beursschouwburg5€ or more (for the whole day) On the 12th of June 2010, we - IAA: the independent artists alliance - are organizing WTF, a festive event manifesting our concerns about the current precarious situation of independent artists. As economic priorities cut away even more funding from the arts - and especially from the more fragile project based work - we feel urged to organize a symbolic event. Instead of spending time developing our own individual work, we want to express our solidarity and organize support for one another. Despite our very diverse artistic ambitions we are united in defending the essential conditions needed to develop artistic practices.
Over 9 ongoing hours we invite independent artists to present excerpts of past material, or work that has not found enough pathways to be visible, to create new work especially for the occasion, to improvise together, and to formulate and join in open proposals... It will be an eclectic mix of dance, theatre, performance, video, installations, performance lectures and music where one artist at the end of the day will receive all the proceeds.

Apart from expressing solidarity this event is intended to manifest our concerns about the current situation in the performing arts.

• the cutting and freezing of project subventions,
• the ongoing institutionalization including more bureaucratic administration
• the role of workspaces in our artistic field,
• the lack of sustained support from the creation stage to end product,
• the growing thematic festivals that do not include all work being produced,
• the precariousness of a big artistic community that is neither young & emerging nor established,
• the language barrier that still cuts Brussels in two while in reality the performance arts scene is very international
• the dependency of artists on state subventions and on institutions to produce and present their work.

The independent performing arts scene is a group including young & emerging artists, but also artists who choose a less predictable path. They make time for autonomous research, career shifts and risk. They include freelance researchers and dramaturges, people with multiple identities. WTF is being precipitated by the changes in WorkSpaceBrussels which until recently (and hopefully will continue to be hereafter) was an organization that supported independent artists. WTF is initiated by some artists affiliated with WSB but by no means is reserved for them only. All artists who feel affiliated with our cause are welcome to participate.
This is how the event will work: The audience gives what they want (a minimum of  5 euros) which goes into a box which lets them come and go throughout the day. All proceeds raised from the bar will also go into the box. All artists that are present during the day and participate either on stage or with a video installation we ask to also give 5 euros and put their name into the box. At 9.00pm one artists name will be drawn out to receive all the proceeds raised during the day for their future research and/or performance. /

Thank youWTF teamIAA, Independent Artist Alliance

1st of May 2010 (International labour day!!)

In the scope of our Thematics edition on “Do It Yourself”, Bains Connective will collaborate with MicroMarché, a cooperative creators market in the centre of Brussels, and with Micronomics Month of May by City mine(d), an international network of individuals and collectives involved with city and local action,

'Do it yourself' is an expression mostly used in a context of home improvement to describe building, modifying, or repairing something without the aid of experts or professionals. With the theme “Do It Yourself” Bains Connective wants to reflect on artistic practices, their dependency on institutions and the necessity of creating independent events and set ups to unleash the creative power and visibility of ideas that may not fit conventional places.

Taking these ideas as a starting point and combining them with questions on art and economics, we want to invite you all to come and sell your artistic interventions, installations, performances, concerts, projections, literary output, expositions, debates, ateliers, meetings, ballads, guided tours, interview projects, graphic works, ... at the MicroMarché.
