Zandloper (Hourglass) at Museum Sinclair Haus

We are very happy to announce audio-visual Zandloper [Hourglass] by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms is part of the group exhibition Sand - Resource, Life, Longing at Museum Sinclair Haus in Bad Homburg, Germany.

Opening Sunday 24 September 2023, 12 hrs

Exhibition 24 September 2023 - 11 February 2024

Glass is made of sand. Glass is hard enough to protect us but it shatters with incredible ease.  It is made from opaque sand, yet it is completely transparent.  It behaves like a solid material but it is also a liquid in disguise.

…

 

Zandloper [Hourglass] is an audio-visual installation as an interface that plays on the visitor’s gaze towards the space and the environment they are in, featuring sand as a central player. The installation creates a membrane between the cinematic and the physical space where the edges of the work extend – potentially indefinitely. Zandloper [Hourglass] features a mesmerizing cycle of exploitation, co-dependency, opportunism, fantasy, dream, fiction and habitual reality.

About the exhibition:

The exhibition Sand - Resource, Life, Longing is dedicated to sand as an indispensable raw material, a material that is all too often banalized, and shows its diversity and its emotional and material significance for our society. It shows the sedimentary rock in its different structures, qualities and dimensions. The exhibition zooms in from the large, poetic expanses of the sandy landscapes to the microscopic components, making facets visible that are not visible to the human eye at first glance.

With works by: Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Ole Bielfeldt, Ferhat Bouda, Edward Burtynsky, Andreas Gursky, Jochem Hendricks, Irenaeus Herok, Laurent Mareschal, Vik Muniz, Jenny Natusch, Jacques Pugin, Sim Chi Yin, Micha Ullman, Julia Willms & Andrea Božić, Stefanie Zoche

An evening of the first in-progress versions of The Premonitions Agency Dream Collecting Session (test version) by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms and Harry Potter and the Delicious Brunch (in-progress) by Billy Mullaney plus conversations and drinks.

The Premonitions Agency Dream Collecting Station (test version) presented by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms in collaboration with the Premonitions Agency

Have you ever wondered about the untapped potential of your dreams?

Welcome to the very first test version of The Premonitions Agency Dream Collecting Station. This experimental government agency initiative aims to collect citizens' dreams and analyze them to predict possible future scenarios. We are excited to collaborate with the Premonitions Agency as part of the research for our new performance, "Within Cells Interlinked."

How it works:

Your dreams are a treasure trove of untapped creativity, and we are here to uncover their mysteries.

1.     Volunteer Participation: Participation is entirely voluntary.

2.     Public or (Semi) Private Sessions: You can decide whether you want your dream collection session to be public or (semi)private.

3.     Specially Designed Questions and Instructions: You will be guided through a set of specially designed questions and instructions to help recall, embody and describe your dream in as much detail as possible. This process aids in the accurate recording and interpretation of dreams.

4.     Session Recording and Drawings: Each dream collection session will be meticulously recorded and drawings will be made preserving the essence of your nocturnal adventures.

5.     Data Storage and Analysis: The dreams and drawings collected will be stored securely within the Premonitions Agency's archive. Our team of experts will analyze your dreams to identify patterns, recurring themes, and possible future scenarios.

The Premonitions Agency Dream Collecting Station seeks to explore the potential of dreams in predicting future scenarios. Your participation is crucial to our research and we assure you that your data will be handled with the utmost care and confidentiality. Thank you for being part of this groundbreaking experiment.


 
Harry Potter and the Delicious Brunch (in-progress) by Billy Mullaney

Billy has recently been researching erotic Harry Potter fan fiction as the absolute lowest contemporary literary form.
He is curious about the communities that have sprung up around generating and sharing such texts, the mode of address with which they are written, and what might be "read" beyond the stories themselves. He is particularly interested in the use of fan fiction as personal fantasy fulfillment (using the protagonist as a stand-in for themselves and often having nothing to do with the source material), and how these stories can become indeed more legible as portraits of the author. Harry Potter and the Delicious Brunch is a short in-progress sketch exploring such a spectacle of self-indulgence, and which *might* develop into a performance in the future(!)

 
Entrance free. Donations welcome.

The Glory Machine by Billy Mullaney at Veem House for Performance - premiere

We are very excited to announce the premiere of The Glory Machine by Billy Mullaney, associate artist at TILT, at Veem House for Performance on 1 April 2022.

Try out: 31 March 2022 - 20.00 hrs
Premiere: 1 April 2022 - 20.00 hrs
2 April 2022, 20.00 hrs

Veem House for Performance, Amsterdam

…

The Glory Machine is a theatre performance consisting of filming and editing a promotional trailer for the performance itself. The audience observes the rapid-fire setup and recording of eighty microscenes, which are simultaneously edited and arranged live by an editor into a short trailer video. The piece was inspired by the ways in which we curate and perform idealized versions of ourselves online through social media platforms and beyond. By privileging the development of web presence over the performance itself, The Glory Machine archly proposes an all-in investment into "cultural capital, responding to (by playing along with) the labor obligatorily required to generate online presence and social media outreach. Conceived as a virus, The Glory Machine follows social media logic, producing its own promotional material to reproduce itself indefinitely.

"It is a laborious madness and an impoverishing one, the madness of composing vast books, setting out in five hundred pages an idea that can be perfectly related orally in five minutes. The better way to go about it is to pretend that those books already exist, and offer a summary, a commentary on them."

- Jorge Luis Borges, introduction to The Garden of Forking Paths

In the press:

"The attention economy is eroding and taking over politics, the media and other departments of the public domain from within. The Glory Machine offers no real resistance or a solution. It very lovingly puts its finger on the sore spot. Well worth it." Theaterkrant Critic's Pick, read the review HERE

Best new text/choreography/libretto of 2022 - Fransien van der Putt - Theaterkrant

Since 2021, Billy Mullaney is an associated artist at TILT. He performs in How to Exit a Reality (Attempt 1 of 19) and TILT produces his new work The Glory Machine, in co-production with the Veem House for Performance and Productiehuis Theater Rotterdam.
