Eventless Event 4 features film screenings, a presentation and a performance. We start on Saturday at 7pm with a presentation by Meris Angioletti, hosted by Achim Lengerer for Scriptings, the temporary show room where writers, graphic-designers, artists and performers, all of whom use the formats of script and text in their production process are regularly invited.

We continue at Bergstraat 16 with the performance Who you think you are by Dafne Boggeri. Boggeri, whose work explores the body as a site of contested powers, has responded to Francesca Grilli’s invitation to take over her studio space.

Following immediately that same evening we move to the living room of the guesthouse for the first part of Secrets from the street: no disclosure, a film screening curated by Francesco Bernardelli with works by Joan Jonas, Trisha Brown, Martha Rosler, Peter Hutchinson, Gabriel Lester, Mike Hoolboom, Todd Solondz and others.As Bernardelli states, “this audio-visual exploration tackles one of the fundamental issues of today urban living: how to read embedded signs mimetically disguised as plain elements of an extensive urban fabric, and at the same time to disentangle them and reinvest them with new functions and a new direction”. The filmic and video works of Secret from the street are examples of a re-invention of the urban drift. “They speak of basic personal freedom, but even more of the possibility of a constant re-imagination of our communicative tools, which are continuously being subverted and recreated according to needs and urgencies of the moment.” The film screening continues on Sunday night, from 8pm on at the guesthouse. You can read the complete film program below.

Drinks will be served during the evening.

Entrance is free but due to limited space please make a reservation via our e-mail address: red.air@online.nl. Thank you.

For Eventless Event 4 we would like to thank the Italian Cultural Institute of Amsterdam (Mr.Silvio Marchetti) and the Netherlands Media Art Institute Montevideo (Theus Zwakhals).
