ROOMADE PRESENTS

BORIS GROYS
THE ART JUDGEMENT SHOW
OORDELEN OVER KUNST
COMMENT JUGER L'ART

21.09-01 ­  20.10.01

ROOMADE, KOOPLIEDENSTRAAT 60-62, B 1000 BRUSSELS

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, FROM 2PM THROUGH 7PM

The Art Judgement Show is a television talk show that asks the question,
'How does one judge art?' Modelling himself on chat-show hosts such as
Arabella and Oprah, the distinguished art historian and philosopher Boris
Groys discusses with a group of students whether today, 'art' still has any
relevance, whether it is significantly different from commercial pursuits
such as advertising, design and popular music, and what criteria should be
used in order to evaluate it.
Although the issues this raises, relating to language, taste, art discourse
and philosophy, are often relegated to a purely academic field, TV lends
itself well to such culturally relevant questions. Most initiatives to adapt
philosophy to the television format, however, end with trivial chats in
front of an electronic fire. In The Art Judgement Show, Groys follows the
opposite path, bringing fascinating philosophical conversation in an
accessible form to the general public ­ just as Socrates found his
interlocutors in the market square.

Boris Groys is Professor of Aesthetics and Media Theory at the Zentrum für
Kunst und Medientechnologie (Center for Art and Media) in Karlsruhe and
since 2000 Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He is one of the
most influential theoreticians in the fields of contemporary art and
culture. He has published widely on modernism and the avant-garde and is the
author of many books, including The Total Art of Stalinism (1988), On the
New: Essay on Cultural Economy (1992), and Logic of the Collection (1997),
he is a frequent contributor to Parkett, Artforum, Art in America and has
written on such contemporary artists as Ilya Kabakov, Peter Fischil & David
Weiss, Douglas Gordon, Rodney Graham, and Richard Prince.

This is kind of a short notice and it is raining in the city - but then 
today is the day when New York is going to be yet again an open 
city - police removed barricades on 14th street and downtown is 
open up to Canal street now.

From: SCP-New York <notbored@panix.com>
Subject: a note on the changed circumstances in New York and the USA

Comrades:

Unlike other groups -- such as the Ruckus Society, the Sierra Club and
others, especially in the American environmental and anti-globalization
movements -- the New York SCP will *not* be scaling back its actions
against surveillance cameras and face recognition software, its vocal
opposition to the policies of George W Bush, or its very visible public
(and Internet) presence, in response to the "attack on America" and the
calls for unity and "war" against terrorism.

At a time like this -- when the FBI's Carnivore sniffer programs are being
let loose on the Internet without probable cause or proper search warrants,
when the media and the American government speak of increasing America's
use of spies and global surveillance, when others are afraid to speak up
against jingoism, war-mongering and racial/religious hatred -- it is
encumbent upon us to remain active, even if it is inconvenient or
"dangerous" to do so.

Our walking tours will go on as scheduled, as will our plans to make use of
the growing international network of activists that we all have worked so
hard to create, because what is truly "dangerous" at such a time is to back
down or soften our demands upon this increasingly totalitarian society.

Subject: Towards Cusco - Debate at Videobrasil

Debate at Videobrasil
September 23
2001
Participants: Gianni Toti, José-Carlos Mariátegui Marcello Tas, Nils Röller
The debate will be held in English and Spanish.


Towards Cusco

Ideas to realize a center for art, science and media technology in Cusco

Cusco is a symbol for a dream that may become reality. The southamerican 
city stands for ancient media networks and it will become a monitor for 
future media networks. In the debate Jose-Carlos Mariategui will propose his 
initial idea to build a media center in Cusco.
Gianni Toti will describe new media centres in Europe and explain why he 
thinks electronic castles (as centres for resistance) are fundamental
Weapons (tools) in today's world, as well as the importance of the creation
of a media center in Cusco.
Marcello Tas is asked to remember the historical attempts of Europeans to
change their point of view by visiting the jungle.
Nils Röller will outline how we may overcome historical misunderstandings by
building Cusco.  Cusco may become through internet-technology an human
interface between ideas from Europe and Southamerica will meet.
