VEILED_EYES: THE BOOK by Maryna Russo Exhibition opening on Thursday 19th March at 6 pm, with live programme and drinks

Maryna Russo is a Berlin based visual artist, musician and poet, primarily working in analog formats. Sometimes known as Sweetmeana or Lesley Shadow, is skilled in songwriting, concept art, book making, painting, drawing & collage, production, video directing, curating & facilitating.

“Veiled Eyes was founded in 2015, originally as an art project against Instagram and its hashtag culture. Having to adapt to the fast-growing social media and marketing platform, Veiled Eyes was born. The concept was to hide (or veil) the subject’s eyes and show no locations. At the time the project began, users were unable to have more than one account per registered email. Over time, after updates and several iPhones later, I was blocked and locked out of the Veiled Eyes account. After many attempts to regain access, I simply gave up. In collaboration with dtan Studio, I transformed the original concept into the analog form you currently hold in your hand.” – MR

SCREENING OF “WE DON’T CARE ABOUT MUSIC ANYWAY” (2009)

15TH MARCH – 8 PM

Motto Wedding (at Institut Für Alles Mögliche)

From radical turntablism (Otomo Yoshihide) to laptop music innovation (Numb), via classical instrument hijacking (Sakamoto Hiromichi), Tokyo’s avant-garde music scene is internationally known for its boldness. While introducing some of the greatest musicians of this scene, “We Don’t Care About Music Anyway…” offers a kaleidoscopic view of Tokyo, confronting music and noise, sound and image, reality and representation, documentary and fiction.

“We don’t care about music anyway”… In other words, “we make it and that’s

all”. Beyond the music and beyond its performance, the future and mode of existence of a city, and society as a whole, are in motion.

“Rather than a film about music, we like to think We Don’t Care… as a film about sound and its perception. An eulogy to raw and spontaneous creation, below codes and industry, creation as an animal way to express a rage that can not be put into words.” – Cédric Dupire & Gaspard Kuentz

Starring: Sakamoto Hiromichi, Otomo Yoshihide, Yamakawa Fuyuki, L?K?O, Numb, Saidrum, Takehisa Ken, Shimazaki Tomoko.

Le Dernier Passager
Nedim Kürsel
Actes Sud

Deniz Çakır vit à Paris avec sa femme Pénélope depuis des années. Pour les besoins d’un documentaire revenant sur sa carrière d’écrivain, il part pour Istanbul où il espère retrouver Songül, sa maîtresse. Durant le vol, il convoque les fantômes de son passé, retraçant le parcours des différents membres de sa famille dans l’Europe du XXe siècle. Le temps d’un dernier voyage, Deniz tisse le fil de son destin façonné par les guerres et les déracinements et célèbre l’écriture comme ultime rempart face à l’oubli.
D’un rivage à l’autre, Nedim Gürsel pose un regard intime et politique sur la Turquie d’hier et d’aujourd’hui.
