SURFACE NOISE

Presented as a double bill with the QUADTONE EXPANDED performance by Dutch artists Mariska de Groot & Gert Jan Prins at Atelier Nord, SURFACE NOISE elaborates on the tactile, optical and noise qualities of the moving image art called film.
Josh Bonnetta’s watercoloured home movies, Phil Solomons liquid emulsions and Daïchi Saïto’s polymetric, painterly structures are brought together with the immersive noise image of Makino Takashi and the subtile light etchings of Joost Rekveld. Magnified film surfaces hit the screen to enlight the brain.

• Never a Foot Too Far Even, Daïchi Saïto, Canada, 2012, 13′, 2x16mm + sound on cd by Malcolm Goldstein

~ PRESS RELEASE ~
iii PRESENTS
NO PATENT PENDING #3
Friday March 8th 2013 – Hoogtij – 19:00-23:00
Het Nutshuis – Riviervismarkt 5 – Den Haag.

Erfan Abdi, Nicky Assmann, Àngel Faraldo, Wen Chin Fu, Mariska de Groot, Daan Johan, Matteo Marangoni, Jonathan Reus, Joris Strijbos, Ben Terwel, Yolanda Uriz, Jeroen Uyttendaele, Dewi de Vree and Dieter Vandoren.
Presenting a set of unique approaches to live performance the Instrument Inventors Initiative showcases a selection of different works exploring the relations between sound, image, space and the body. Each work responds to a specific question: What if sound could be drawn on paper with a pencil? What if a musical instrument could be literally merged with the body of the performer? How can a laptop be played as physical object?
The boundary between instruments as tools and instruments as representations of intimate cosmologies is probed in an evening that promises to initiate the audience through several stages of idiosyncratic rituals.
[in collaboration with Het Nutshuis and Stichting Centrum, with support from Stroom Den Haag and Gemeente Den Haag]
