Born in Flames: Screening and Talk @ Motto Vancouver
September 17, 5 – 8pm

Motto Vancouver and Fillip are pleased to present a special launch event in conjunction with the recent release of Born in Flames published by Occasional Papers, London. Based on Lizzie Borden’s 1983 film of the same name, the book investigates New York’s radical feminist and lesbian communities through an account of a fictional dystopia set ten years after a peaceful Socialist revolution.

Artist Kaisa Lassinaro and publishers Sara De Bondt and Antony Hudek will join us from London via Skype to introduce the project, followed by a screening of Borden’s film (running time: 80min).

The launch will occur alongside a special presentation of Occasional Papers’ back catalogue, on view at Motto Vancouver through October. Founded in 2008 by De Bondt and Hudek, Occasional Papers is a non-profit publisher devoted to the histories of architecture, art, design, film and literature.

Michal Pěchouček: Lessons in Art
Catalogue launch with a screening and talk at Motto Berlin, September 1st, 2011
Start 7pm

Czech artist Michal Pěchouček will present his latest catalogue, published on the occasion of a solo exhibition on two floors of The Stone Bell Gallery in Prague earlier this year, with two groups of works one could easily mistake as from two different authors. First being a romantic figural painter who changed paint for embroidery and fabrics. Second being a minimalist photographer, exploring the forms of his medium through routines, cycles, and it’s liminal narrations.

Pěchouček’s solo exhibition Virgin’s Lives will open at Jiri Svestka Gallery the following day on September 2nd in Berlin.

Ma Ligne (Edition Patrick Frey)

The train line Paris St Lazare – Mantes La Jolie runs from the western suburbs into the French capital. FUZI and his group UV (Ultra Violent) used the “double étages” and “trains gris” for fifteen years as work basis and image carrier, as their territory and mistress. “FUZI,” “RAP,” “SALO,” “KISS,” and “VOYOU” drip down the smooth grey surfaces of the functionalist architecture. The leather on the benches is slashed; the windows smashed.

This book is a collection of photographs created between 1996 and 2001, an archive of vandalism, a contemporary document of “brutal insouciance” accompanied by the artist’s poems and texts. It wasn’t just about slamming, hammering and smearing one’s name everywhere to become known, it was about leaving behind a trace, both in the space and in the heads of the passengers.
This required a rigid approach: employing the surveillance methods of the rail police (SUGE) and conductors, only with reverse circumstances. A routine that was synchronized with the gaps in train schedules and intervals between security checks; rhythmized by station stops and coach compartments; locating, painting over and photographing—maintaining the line. Within the rules and regulations of society, they created Temporary Autonomous Zones for themselves, in which they could briefly experience absolute freedom, expressed through an archaic “aestheticism of chaos”. (Andreas Koller)
