After a game-changing year when Europe, in all its tangible and intangible consequences reached far and wide, BDP are proud to announce one of our most ambitious compilations of art, writing and research on our contemporary’s troubled, shape-shifting realities. In a unique dual book publication (English/Spanish editions) edited by the group ‘Correspondence from Eyjafjallajökull’ the book contains the artistic results and research of the group, along with eleven probing and insightful carefully selected ‘collaborations’. These diverse entries take many forms, including fiction, essay, polemnic,

After working together as a research group centering around the event that was Eyjafjallajökull in May 2010, ‘Correspondence from Eyjafjallajökull’ went about re-examining the idea of Europe. With no air traffic possible, Europe found itself connected in a very physical way, a unity that is the opposite in many ways of how ‘Europe’ has been so recently conceived. Through various forms of artistic research and development new, kaleidoscopic perspectives of Europe came about, moving from peripheries such as Turkey and Iceland itself, inward to the imaginative world of European identity creation.

With a strong focus on the problematic nature of European discourse as it is currently offered, the recent rise of protests movements in Spain appear in contributions from Maria Ptqk, Emanuele Guidi, Juan Freire and Santiago Eraso: the 15th May Movement in Spain and The Arab Spring pre-dated but also foretold the wider Occupy movement of 2012, an incredible year in which protest and the right to protest swept the world in myriad forms. The playful use of fiction to create stories and identity is evident in contributions from Pavla Ascher, John Holten and Alan Pauls. Re-imagining the line of Europe’s borders opens the anthology with Urzsula Wozniak’s essay on Turkey’s relationship with Europe, while Markus Miesson offers an extension of the realm of what can be thought of as ‘Europe’ with an extract from his East Coast Europe project.

Destroy All Monsters Screening

February 25, 2012, 8:30
Free Screening: Grow Live Monsters

Please join Fillip and Motto Books Saturday, February 25th, for a screening of a selection of music films by the Detroit-based art collective Destroy All Monsters.

Formed in 1973 by University of Michigan art students Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Niagara, and filmmaker Cary Loren, DAM’s activities included an experimental/punk band, a self-titled zine, and various film and video works.

“Influenced by the underground films of Jack Smith and George Kuchar, the movies created by Destroy All Monsters blended kitsch images, clips from old horror and sci-fi pictures, deliberate over-acting and bursts of off-beat animation into a bracing collage of pop culture detritus, while the artists’ neo-psychedelic noise rock droned away in the background.” — Mark Deming

With thanks to Cary Loren.
