Wild Things are Going to Happen

Dialoge mit Dan Graham zu Kunst, Architektur und Einkaufszentren
Dialogues with Dan Graham on art, architecture and shopping malls

Graphic Novel by Henrik Schrat
Published by Eastside Projects, edited by Gavin Wade

21.00 Introduction by Gavin Wade, Eastside Projects Director
20.00 – 22.00 A special book selection by MOTTO
danach: DJ Mosaike

MOTTO wird eine Auswahl von Büchern und Magazinen präsentieren. Eastside Projects, Birmingham präsentiert Souvenirs aus den Eastside-Ausstellungen, Publikationen und fixed position Fotos der Ausstellungen von Stuart Whipps.

Henrik Schrat’s Graphic Novel Wild Things are going to happen basiert auf Gesprächen mit Dan Graham. Um die Dialoge entwickelt er eine furiose Bildgeschichte, die sich aus den Inhalten der Gespräche entfaltet. In klassischem Stil gezeichnet, enthält sie unzählige Querverweise, visuelle Anmerkungen und quasididaktische Einschübe sowie einen Index am Ende des Buches. Das Format bewegt sich zwischen Comic und Katalog und gibt der mündlichen Qualität der Texte einen visuellen Raum.

Motto is going to present a special and hard to get selection of books and magazines in the context of drawing, visualisation and theory. Eastside Projects, Birmingham presents souvenirs from its exhibitions with publications and fixed position images by Stuart Whipps.

Henrik Schrat’s graphic novel Wild Things are Going to Happen is based on interviews with Dan Graham from 2011. Driven by the dialogues Schrat unfolds a violent visual story drawn in a classic style containing complex visual play, cross references and quasi-didactic inserts, plus a detailed index. The publication format is located somewhere between artwork, comic book and chronicle and offers a dynamic visual space for the oral qualities of speech.

Susanne Bürner
EUVILLE
Book release and screening of Pierre et Poussière (20 min, color, sound, 2012)

Both talk about the reconstruction of memory related to an abandoned subterranean limestone quarry in Lorraine, France.
While Euville focuses on the former workers’ drawings on the walls of the quarries as their voice in an environment which didn’t leave much space for personal expression, Pierre et Poussière brings together different levels of temporality all representing the same place.
