Grading the Lebanese Constitution

http://www.dastooronline.com


'Grading the Lebanese Constitution' is a web based project by Ricardo Mbarkho where people can give a grade for any and every article of the actual Lebanese Constitution. An Overall Average Grade is constantly displayed and updated. This grading centered project with its mass evaluation process implies different ways of reading the numbers and graphs of all the statistical results. It's a work that deals with data interpretation to offer multiple analysis levels relative to our emotional and rational attitude toward the constitution.

Invitation lancement du livre QUI EST ANA MENDIETA ? (Caro Caron & Christine Redfern)

Bonjour à tous et à chacune!


Ci-dessous, une invitation pour le lancement du récit graphique


QUI EST ANA MENDIETA ?

de Chrisitine Redfern et Caro Caron


le 24 mai 2011 de 5@7

au Cheval Blanc (809, rue Ontario Est)


Exilée de Cuba aux États-Unis par ses parents qui craignaient le régime castriste, Ana Mendieta mènera dans les années 1970 sa propre révolution aux côtés de femmes artistes qui ont entrepris de bouleverser le milieu des arts. Son œuvre multiforme explore les limites de l’identité culturelle et de genre, abordant la violence faite aux femmes, mettant son corps en scène, empruntant au vaudou, aux croyances et aux rituels des anciennes civilisations pour renouer avec son passé.


Dans ce récit graphique surnaturel, Christine Redfern et Caro Caron ne racontent pas seulement la vie et la mort – tragique, après une chute de 34 étages – d’Ana Mendieta. Elles ramènent à l’avant-scène une artiste tombée, ou plutôt jetée dans l’oubli, et rappellent du même souffle plusieurs autres femmes exclues de l’histoire de l’art.


Venez célébrer avec nous la parution de ce projet unique chez Remue-ménage !

Et profitez de l'exposition des planches originales (l'expo se déroulera pendant les trois semaines suivant le lancement, au Cheval Blanc)

Galerie Ecritures : exposition de photographies



EXPOSITION de PHOTOGRAPHIES


De Philippe BUSSER et Francisco FORMISANO


Du 26 avril au 10 juin 2011


VERNISSAGE le 6 mai 2011 à 18 h 30



WILDNIS ?


La nature peut vivre sans que l'homme n'intervienne, c'est le concept de "naturalité" (wildnis en allemand) adopté


par le Parc naturel national de Bavière en Allemagne pour protéger la plus grande étendue forestière d'Europe. Des espaces en libre évolution, où l'homme côtoie le sauvage et peut librement, lui aussi, en tirer du bien-être.


Cette singulière et minimaliste intervention humaine dans l'environnement est devenue l'idéologie de base d’une collaboration entre deux photographes : Francesco Formisano et Philippe Busser.


Les images proposées par la galerie ECRITURES ne sont que quelques fenêtres à travers lesquelles chacun d'entre nous peut y plonger son regard quelques instants et y découvrir un monde encore vif et sauvage.

James Addiction : Collaboration with Master Musicians of Joujouka




You can download the track FREE by signing up http://janesaddiction.com/splash/



JANE’S ADDICTION
COLLABORATE WITH THE MASTER MUSICIANS OF JOUJOUKA
FOR THE BAND’S NEW TRACK “END TO THE LIES”


Photo: The Master Musicians of Joujouka
As always, JANE’S ADDICTION—singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins--keeps things interesting.

The exotic sounds on “End To The Lies”—the band’s newly issued (April 7) free downloadable track from the band’s upcoming first studio album in eight years on Capitol Records, THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST—are the unique contribution of the legendary The Master Musicians of Joujouka.

Hailing from the village of Jajouka near Ksar-el-Kebir in the Ahl Srif mountain range of the southern Rif Mountains in northern Morocco, they are Sufi trance musicians who use reed, pipe and percussion to create drones and complex rhythms unique to Joujouka. The musicians are known for their connections with the Beat Generation and Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones, who recorded them in 1968 for an album that was released in 1971, Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka.

"We wanted to add a sense of ancient ritual and some depth beyond normal instrumentation, getting off the typical path that rock bands use, etc,” says Perry Farrell. “And we wanted the music to cast a spell on the ‘lies.’”

For THE GREAT ESCAPE ARTIST, JANE'S ADDICTION have been working in Los Angeles with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol), with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek on the team. Costey says that The Master Musicians of Joujouka’s parts actually weren’t recorded with the band or in a studio. “It was all recorded in the Master Musicians Madrassa (school house) which is out in the village of Joujouka in Morocco where they live. The drums were recorded in the kitchen and the rhiatas in the main room of the house."

Farrell adds: "Lots of sounds were recorded with them so you may hear more of them on the record. You'll have to wait and see."

ARTINFO: Bahrain and Lebanon Withdraw From the Venice Biennale Due to Mideast Turmoil, While Egypt's Participation Is Uncertain

"Untitled," 2009, by Ahmed Alsoudani, who will participate in Iraq's first Biennale pavilion since 1976

It is no surprise that the popular uprisings sweeping the Middle East should have an impact on the Venice Biennale, the international showcase of art, culture, and political soft power, and now the first embattled countries have begun to withdraw from participation. Bahrain, the tiny Gulf nation that was to make its first appearance at the Biennale this year, has backed out amid violent crackdowns at home, and Lebanon has likewise called off its sophomore pavilion. Meanwhile, Egypt's participation remains something of a question mark.

Bahrain's inability to send an artist to Venice is especially unfortunate since last year the country had its first appearance at the Venice Architecture Biennale and walked away with the Golden Lion for best pavilion. Curated by architects Noura Al-Sayeh and Fuad Al-Ansari, the national display focused on plans to develop areas along its shores where water has receded and included three traditional fisherman's huts. The jury was impressed with its "lucid and forceful self-analysis of the nation's relationship with its rapidly changing coastline." It is unclear whether Bahrain had already chosen a curator and artist for its appearance in the Venice Biennale this June.

As for Lebanon, it skipped the 2009 Biennale but had its own national pavilion for the first time in 2007, curated by Saleh Barakat and Sandra Daghe with the participation of artists Fouad Elkoury, Lamia Joreige, Walid Sadek, Mounira Al Solh, and Akram Zaatari. The exhibit had the official support of Lebanon, but was funded by private donations from the Lebanese community. The 2007 curators' statement said that Lebanon was joining the Biennale "at a time of grave political crisis in the country — when the concept of the nation has once again been called rather roughly, even violently into question."

This time around political instability has led the country to withdraw from the event entirely. The curator was to have been Georges Rabbath, who had titled the pavilion "Lebanon As a State of Mind." Ten artists were to have been featured: Annabel Daou, Etel Adnan, Marya Kazoun, Cornelia Krafft, Ricardo Mbarkho, Samer Mohdad, Jacko Restikian, Shawki Youssef, Camille Zakharia, and CPS (Chamber of Public Secrets). Daou, who grew up in Lebanon and moved to the United States at age 18, told ARTINFO that she received a letter from the culture minister about 10 days ago stating that Lebanon would not participate in the Biennale. Daou said that "I thought possibly there might be issues... obviously these things are difficult," but that she didn't expect the pavilion to be canceled after plans were so advanced. Lebanon's coalition government fell apart in January, and so far the country has been unable to form a new one.

As for the status of Egypt's participation, despite Biennale president Paolo Baratta's announcement at a Friday press conference that the country would not participate in the exhibition this year, it seems the country does in fact plan to proceed. According to Fatenn Mostafa of the Cairo Arts Initiative, newly-appointed culture minister Emad Abou Ghazi has confirmed Egypt's participation in the Biennale and has chosen Ahmed Bassiouny to represent the country. A Biennale representative, however, told ARTINFO that the organizers are awaiting "confirmation or any communication from Egypt."

Bassiouny died on the fourth day of Egypt's uprising, and Mostafa told ARTINFO that the pavilion will showcase the late artist's "work as well as his January 25 revolution videos." Already an icon of the revolution, Bassiouny was depicted by Cairo artist Ganzeer in his portrait series of martyred activists. In 2009, the Egyptian pavilion showed the work of artists Adel el Siwi and Ahmed Askalany, which the Independent's Michael Glover called "the tenderest and most haunting work in the Giardini."

In another positive piece of Biennale news from the region, Iraq, dealing with its own postwar turmoil, will nevertheless present its first pavilion in Venice since 1976, under the curatorship of Mary Angela Schroth and with support from Iraq's ministry of culture, the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, and the Iraq embassy in Italy. Two generations of Iraqi artists will be presented, starting with Ali Assaf, Azad Nanakli, and Walid Siti, who were born in the 1950s. Abel Abidin, Halim Al Karim, and Ahmed Alsoudani represent a later generation that grew up during the Iran-Iraq War and the invasion of Kuwait.

Ricardo Mbarkho: Grading the Lebanese Constitution

www.lebanononweb.net

(c) Ricardo Mbarkho, 2011. All rights reserved.

'Grading the Lebanese Constitution' is a web based project (www.lebanononweb.net) where people can give a grade for any and every article of the actual Lebanese Constitution. An Overall Average Grade is constantly displayed and updated. This grading centered project with its mass evaluation process implies different ways of reading the numbers and graphs of all the statistical results. Mbarkho's work deals with data interpretation to offer multiple analysis levels relative to our role as citizens; this project tackles with the way how judgment criteria operate behind each one of the grades in order to question the utopian model of a country, an ongoing concern in Lebanon, and a renewed one in the region.
