KARL MARX BONSAI
Der Blumentopf

Friday 20 till Sunday 22 june 2008

live action friday 20 june, h 20:00 and h 24:00

In der Karl Marx Straße Ecke Neckarstraße, werden 1 Baumstamm, 1 Mülleimer und 3 Sitzbänke in einer spezielle begehbare Struktur von Plastique Fantastique temporär zusammengefasst und vereint.
Der so entstandene Topfraum wird erlebt und belebt und durch Ton verstärkt – der Blumenkatalysator.
Lorenzo Brusci wird die Installation zum vibrieren bringen: durch die von hin verwendete Technik, wird die aus Plastikfolien entstandene Architektur ihre strukturelle Funktion ausweiten und Tonträger werden - eine luftige Lautsprecherbox die, die live improvisierten Sounds von Marco Barotti gleichmaßig und multiphonisch übertragen wird.
Der Blumentopf ist eine pneumatische temporäre Struktur; eine plastische Architektur mit variablen Strukturen, im Einklang mit dem lokalen Kontext.

Durch die Installation wird eine Art Urbane Premiere veranstaltet - der Ort wird sichtbar gemacht und für eine kurze Zeit bespielt, wird geteilt und gleichzeitig erweitert.

Die existierende Strukturen werden verändert und verfremdet; sie werden Teil einer Hybride und sind in ihrer
ursprünglichen Form nicht mehr erkennbar. Das Event wird eine multisensorielle Synergie bilden.

Durch die Überlagerung von öffentlichem und privatem, von existierendem und pneumatischem Raum - von optischen, akustischen und sozialen Reizen, bildet der Blumentopf ein komplexes Klima einer neuen Landschaft.

An immersive city oasis. The plastic surfaces are resonating of Brusci’s sound design. Plastique Fantastique’s architecture is like an outer world synthetic playground able to suggest viewers and visitors alternative city and culturescapes. Outside and inside the plastic fantastic structure is possible to have a multisensory and immersive transfigured view of the ordinary city life - in this case of the charming multicultural Berlin area of Neukoelln.
A sudden suspension of one’s sleepy and individual perceptual attitude, the occasion to enrich one’s symbolic background and step back to the everyday life with new compositional and imaginary interpretative tools.

International workshop. July 4 - 16, 2008
organized by the Centro Sperimentale MEDIARS

Brusci will hold a lecture on Sonic spaces, Sonic Environmental Modules

The workshop is an 8-day full-time course, designed for students, scholars, and artists from architecture, design, media arts, and engineering fields about media theory, visual arts, and technology in their relation to oral history and urban interaction. The workshop has classes in English and wants to offer a quality tutoring, is designed for the students to produce, at the end of the training, a multimedia art work to be exhibited in the medieval town. Moreover, this experience abroad wants to create an ongoing dialogue between international artists, as a longer term project.

This workshop is organized by the non-profit association MEDIARS (Center for Interactive Media for Art and Entertainment) in collaboration with the town of Contigliano, together with international scholars from California State University Chico, UCLA, the University of Florence and the University of Aquila.

“Paesaggi naturali, paesaggi abbandonati; per lo più il lavoro del paesaggista consiste nel soddisfare richieste del tipo: mascherami, migliorami, riqualificami, il che presuppone operare su contesti che ne hanno un gran bisogno. Occuparsi di questi paesaggi abbandonati produce oggi tematiche trasversali non più legate solo al concetto di giardino, ma che come emerge dal mio libro e dai titoli degli interventi proposti per il ciclo di conferenze, dimostrano una visione più allargata nei confronti della natura; non a caso Gilles Clement parla di giardino planetario, di terzo paesaggio; non a caso nelle università si affrontano temi come i community garden, l’incolto…; non a caso ci sono persone che come Stefano Massimello fondano movimenti come il Guerrillla gardening…. cosi offrire a chi verrà agli incontri una visione più allargata e trasversale può, invece che dare delle risposte, indurre a farsi delle domande”.
