Welcome Back Ye Annunaki is a showcase of works answering the question How would you host an ancient alien? The artists in the exhibition responded to an international call for proposals inspired by Zecharia Sitchin’s Earth Chronicles, a book detailing how the human species originated from extraterrestrial beings. These distant relatives are scheduled to return to the earth in December 2012.

Participating artists have proposed a variety of convivial acts to welcome Annunaki families from the planet Nibiru upon their return visit to earth after a 3,600-year orbit. The projects take a variety of forms, from an intergalactic calling card to a bed away from home, collegial gestures of kindness that reveal the customs that we embrace as human citizens of earth.

Welcome Back Ye Annunaki provides a constructive take on Sitchin’s mythology, one of the many associated with the year 2012. Exhibition is held in Open Space Artist Run Centre (Victoria, Canada), November 16, 2012 – December 21, 2012.

Among many, I am am the one, who has been contacted by Annunaki, many times, sometimes while asleep, sometimes awake. They inform me over and over again of their visit, and I know I have to await for them and clean my temple. I have to await and take care of the temple that will host them. And that temple is me.

Most of us are unaware that Annunaki is/are not of mater, but of spirit, and to host them you do not clean the interior of your house, but interior of your self. One cleans it with rigour, spiritual and mental, in taking out the trash, and taking in the health and beauty.

When Annunaki comes, we greet It to our temple, we let It to ourself, and we carry It where we go, we feed It what we eat, It sleeps when we sleep, It sees what we see. That is why if we host them we have to restrain from bad habits, we have to restrain from manipulative toughs, we have to restrain from hurting ourself and others. When we host It we do it with pleasure and It lives trough us.

Impromondays: Tracery

Tracery is three piece recording filled with ostinatos. It traces atmospheres of Gothic churches in minimal manner. Not a usual Impromondays recording, this one has more harmonics, playfully shared by two guitars. Its seriousness and interest is everlasting

Impromondays crew:
Dragan Pajic – Pajo: noises, prepared frying pan, vocals, el. guitar and effects;
Kruno Jošt: el.guitar with effects, laptop, prepared instruments.

Impromondays are sessions recorded at ‘Silence Reservoir’ (Parainstitut Indoš) club in Zagreb. This sessions are dedicated to all who are interested in improvisation in its full sense, no matter if it is visual, musical or concerned with the body movement.

Recorded April 2010.

GentleJunk is sharing a virtual stage with Julie Rousse on upcoming noplacard festival, Sunday 17th February, 2 o’clock in the morning.

noplacard is a mix in between the (((NOMUSIC))) festival and the placard headphone festival that lasts for 24 hours in Paris at la menagerie de verre during the Economie0 event.

(((NOMUSIC))) started on June 2001, according to the principle that a diffusion site on Internet should correspond to the representation of the singular performances of a new generation of artists, musicians, performers and other actors of the electronic scene. The creation of this open diffusion site proved to be necessary because of today’s difficulty to perform disembodied concerts of electronic music on stage, in a classical frontal (actor/audience) representation space. Nowadays, these emerging new multimedia performances allow everybody to approach music in a more singular way, with a different listening practice and on a more sharing scene.

A cellular automaton is a group of cells that evolves only by nearest neighbor interaction. They are thought to be able to represent the evolution of living organisms and minerals. It is usually assumed that every cell in the universe starts in the same state, except for a finite number of cells in other states, often called a configuration. More generally, it is sometimes assumed that the universe starts out covered with a periodic pattern, and only a finite number of cells violate that pattern. The latter assumption is common in one-dimensional cellular automata.

Video installation ‘UMJETNOST JE…’ (ART IS…) can be seen on front windows of ex cinema ‘Kalnik’ in Križevci during night hours from 8th to 10th of June. Cinema ‘Kalnik’ is deserted and is not working for past 6 years.

Nakon nastupa s talijanskom math noise umjetničkom grupom ODRZ, Zid.Buke još jednom ruši principe konzumerizma, ovisnosti i političke sprege. U tutnjavi mašina i iskri, koristeći se elektičnim alatima (brusilice, bušilice, elektrićne škare) Zid.Buke će izrezati osobno vozilo na osnovne komade. Time će biti otvoren umjetnički dio festivala Nepokoreni grad kao dijela istoimenog projekta koji je udruga Domaći pokrenula još početkom godine. U performansu rastavljanja osobnog vozila prikljućiti će im se multimedijalni zagrebački umjetnik Dragan Pajić Pajo sa koreorgrafijom Darka Brkljačića.
