Bildwechsel/Galerie Broll, Les Reines Prochaines and Evi, Nic and C hosted an evening of performance miniatures with shine and fire, an intense and wild evening at the Lido.
Hey what a jam packed and fabulous evening that was!
Evi, Nic and C are a beautiful inventive performance group … and they can make almost anything out of carboard: there were butterflies and helicopters, a full swing band, ice cream… they sang, they rapped, told limericks, moved and danced. you’ll be amazed.
Les Reines Prochaines are a feminist, performance art band and a joy to behold and hear – check out the website! Ah the energy and the fun. Thanks thanks to Les Reines Prochaines.
…. and there was magic, and art acrobatics, sweet songs and swing songs and a birthday song, performances galore, and a stage full of chickens.
Thanks to:
On the stage: Steffi Weismann, hey-yo-sister-yeah, Barbara Loreck, Zirka Trollop, Les Poules Prochaines, Viktoriya Levenko, Gisela Hochuli, Berlin Femme Mafia, Evi, Nic and C, Les Reines Prochaines…
Off the stage:
the Love Couriers and the folks in charge of the tin-can-bowling
Back stage and front of house:
back stage manager, stage hand, front of house and all the people who helped out and made props and cooked food
Happy 30th Birthday Bildwechesel
You may have heard that Culture and Sport Glasgow (the body responsible for art galleries, libraries and sports centres in Glasgow) and the Gallery of Modern Art have recently decided not to show a number of artworks that they had planned to exhibit as part of the sh[Out] LGBT arts programme. In particular, this has affected the work of Spanish artist Dani Marti and his residency with Gay Mens’ Health.
Three pieces of Dani’s work were withdrawn by CSG – effectively censored. These works were “talking heads” type documentaries where gay men revealed their HIV status and discussed issues around their lives and loves. They were to be shown on a few Thursday evenings after 5.30pm at GOMA. Other parts of the programme have been re-scheduled and doubt has been cast over whether other planned exhibits will be allowed to go ahead.
Culture and Sport Glasgow have stated that one of the reasons it decided to withdraw Dani’s work was to protect the artists, the sh[Out] programme and the LGBT community as a whole from negative press and attacks from other groups that would “negate both the artistic and societal endeavour” of the programme.
This completely misses the point that sh[Out], a “contemporary art and human rights” programme was supposed to address such issues, not shy away from them. The artists and organisations involved in the sh[Out] programme are fully entitled and much better qualified to make these kind of decisions for themselves. We are the ones who have been dealing with homophobia and negative and violent reactions all of our lives. These experiences inform our art/work and are what led some of us to become involved in the sh[Out] programme in the first place, either as exhibitors or as members of the sh[Out] Advisory Group.
