#RWR13

Welcome to the third edition of REWIRE Festival. REWIRE was originally envisaged as a nomadic festival; however centring the festival round the ‘Rond de Energiecentrale’ was so effective that the second edition also took place there. Now for the third edi-tion, it’s time to move on. New locations include Prins27, Paard van Troje and the beautiful Teresia van Avila church, amongst oth-ers, all within walking distance of each other in the city centre of The Hague. The central exhibition will take place in GEMAK and will run on until December 14th. REWIRE is looking forward to use and transform The Hague’s current cultural infrastructure next to using undiscovered places such as the Teresia van Avila church. The central exhibition ‘Momentum: As art has to happen now’, investigates how art can thrive in a society that is increasingly focused on living in the here and now. During the exhibition, there will be an extensive series of workshops for secondary school students and an interesting, parallel programme with lectures, presentations, screenings and performances. This year, the mu-sic programme is more extensive than ever before, and it centres on several cornerstones: Nordic Jazz, Indie Classical, Chamber Pop, the Collaborative Programme and Post-punk/minimal wave. It also highlights a number of interesting electronic producers who are developing as against-the-grain vocalists.

Although we have done our best to make this programme book-let as complete as possible, it might be possible that some details are missing. For the most up-to-date info please see: www.rewirefestival.nl.

We wish you a very inspiring stay at our festival.

Exhibition — Momentum

#RWR13

The central exhibition, Momen-tum: As art has to happen now, focuses on art in the time of the endless now. In a society where live, real time and ‘always-on’ viewing are constantly increas-ing, our capacity to process impressions is changing. Binge watching, second screen and the ‘festivalizing’ of leisure time change our attitudes towards art and culture - but not always for the worse. While we read alarming reports in the news-papers about our reduced at-tention spans and inability to concentrate, we see more im-ages, listen to more music and, online, we read more than ever before. All the culture in the world is just a click away. In this super-inundation of in-formation and possibilities,

finding focus for visual art is a challenge. Biennials and festi-vals are tried-and-tested forms for reaching many people in a given time span. These events are the larger, cultured form of binge watching: trying to see as much as possible in a short space of time. Spectacle art is another way to reach people, as is creating networks, for Museum Nights, for example, or collective purchases by the Van Abbemuseum and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

But how does one find their au-dience when they are smaller and have fewer resources? As an artist, how do you develop a practice when the speed of turnover in our attention econ-omy is higher and higher? And what kind of work evolves

As art has to happen now

“ If the end of the twentieth century can be characterized by futurism, the twenty-first can be defined by presentism.” Douglas Rushkoff

#RWR13

from an age that wants more and more while investing less and less?

In the Momentum exhibition, the REWIRE Festival creates space to ask these questions. At GEMAK, various artists spend five weeks contribut-ing to the search for creative dynamics and public involve-ment, each at their own pace. Supported by the festival and its visitors, and inspired by the self-organizing potential of in-ternational protest movements and the DIY mentality of young

generations in general, Momen-tum investigates possibilities for art as it needs to be today.

Momentum is a co-production of two of the Hague’s adven-turous festivals: REWIRE Fes-tival and State-X New Forms. It serves as a laboratory for critical reflection within the respective festivals. The exhi-bition opens on 8 November, together with the REWIRE Fes-tival, and will hold its finnisage on 14 December, during the State-X New Forms Festival.

Ahmet Ögüt

tr — let it be known to all persons here gathered, 2012

The film documents a journey undertaken by a horse rider, dressed as a postman. The postman rode from Liverpool to Manchester, with the rider pausing in towns along the way, including St Helens and Heywood, to read the Biennial’s press release that is ironically manipulated in the style of a Royal letter. The audience for the work became the accidental passers-by and not someone who has a particular expectation or interest in art. Aim of the work is not trying to attract more audience for the Biennial, rather question the role of the Biennials in general; such as lack of a far-reaching influence on the wider public, creating a real progressive dialog with the city and the local audience.

Berend Strik

nl — untitled, 2013

For Momentum, Berend Strik made his first edition of a new, on-going three-dimensional work. This decor is a product of Strik’s fascination with artist’s studios. For years, he has been visiting and photographing the studios of other artists, architects and designers, including those of Marcel Duchamp, Gabriel Lester and Anton Corbijn. Berend Strik’s work for Momentum is at the service of the exhibition and its visitors, and is his investigation of his own limitations as an autonomous artist.

CM von Hausswolff

se — red empty, 2013

With ‘Red Empty’, created in the Hague in 2013, Carl Michael von Hausswolff has brought the American artist Dan Graham’s long-term project, ‘Fiets&Stal’ (Bike&Shelter), out of anonym-ity and back into focus. Red floodlights separate the bicycle shelter from the rest of the city and ‘turn it on’ for passersby in public space.

This new work by Von Hausswolff is part of a series of installa-tions and photographs begun in 1999, which has so far been presented in Chicago, Sarajevo and Bangkok. His Red series shines flame-red light onto architecture that has been aban-doned, is in decay or under development. The red lights freeze the buildings in this transitional state, distinct from whatever they had been or will become. In this way, the work reveals a connection with the ‘Anarchitecture’ of Gordon Matta-Clark.

Haroon Mirza

uk — adam, eve, others and a ufo, 2013

Haroon Mirza’s ‘Adam, Eve, Others and a UFO’ (2013) is a room-sized sculptural installation and surround sound composition containing a UFO (an LED circuit not too dissimilar to a bike light) which powers a circle of 8 speakers.

Thick, black microphone cable connects the speakers in a rhyth-mic and symmetrical formation. The cable is taut, reaching from the back of the speakers up to the ceiling and across to the centre of the room, where it then drops down to the ground, splaying on the floor around the glass vase which the UFO rests upon. Grey foam pyramids cover the walls, dampening the sound which the speakers emit.

The electricity that drives the LED lights is amplified to generate the sound, which can be heard through the speakers. The LED lights are programmed to turn on and off in a sequence creating a looping composition. The lights on the UFO and the sounds from the speakers are seen and heard simultaneously which creates an audio and visual synthesis. Each speaker’s sound is varied as they are made by different manufacturers, reflected in the title of the work, and providing another layer of variation. H

David Maljkovic

hr — out of projection, 2009 David Maljkovic’s new 2-channel video installation, ‘Out of Projection’, was first realized for David Maljkovic’s 2009 solo show at the Museum Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain. The instal-lation expands on his exploration of memories as futurist prop-ositions. It refers to antithetical film genres such as science fiction and documentary. ‘Out of Projection’ was filmed at the carefully guarded test track of Peugeot headquarters in the French city of Sochaux.

Giorgio Andreotta Calò

it — clessidra, 2010 Calò has completed a series of bronze sculptures cast from eroded mooring posts found in the Venice Lagoon. Salt water and countless tides had altered the bollards into beautiful, raw forms. Andreotta Calò has captured them, like hourglasses in time. In silence, he reminds us of the moment when they finally break and loose their function. ‘Clessidra’ came about during Calò’s study at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, just before the Dutch government cut its support for the arts. As a result, the work seems to be an unintended monument to the fragility of art as a whole.

Miranda Meijer

nl — meanwhile, 2013

In her continuing performance, ‘Meanwhile’, Miranda Meijer puts herself completely at the service of the REWIRE Festival. At a cen-tral point among the various festival locations, she spends the en-tire evening giving directions and helping visitors find where they need to be. What has been has been, and one artist makes way for the next. And the next. Time is relentless, and the memory that remains touches only the moment that has passed. So too does everything move inexorably forward in the performance – until all is taken over by the music in the night.

Jonas Lund

se — gallery analytics, 2013

‘Gallery Analytics’ is a site specific installation by Swedish artist Jonas Lund, made especially for the Momentum exhibition as part of the REWIRE Festival. By setting up a mesh wifi network and com-bining it with custom made software, ‘Gallery Analytics’ is able to track every wifi enabled device moving around in the exhibition area in real time. Similar to how a shopping mall is tracking their visitors to determine how well a window display converts customers, Lund will be able to provide in depth analysis of the exhibition visitor’s movement in the space and from that distill how well the works in the exhibition performs.

The wifi mesh network is connected to an online, openly available gallery analytics website where the tracking data and analytics can be accessed. This interface is also installed in the exhibition space, to enable the visitors to detect that they are being analyzed.

Lyndsey Housden

uk — untitled, 2013

The art gallery as public space was the starting point for the Momentum installations. What is the scenography for an open field for experimentation? One that is built out of the temporal dynamics of such a public space, which is neither an object in itself or the static architectural frame. How to create a space that triggers action, creates momentum and invites spontane-ous events in the open, public space of this art gallery, GEMAK?

Nishiko

jp — study studio for ‘repairing earthquake project’

Nishiko started her ‘Repairing Earthquake Project’ half a year af-ter the terrible disaster hit Japan in March 2011. Since then she has been busy with collecting objects that have been destroyed by the tsunami and trying to repair them in the temporary studios, which are open to public. Interaction with locals in the disaster area, and with visitors in the exhibitions where the studios are located, play a big role throughout the process. By tracing and imagining the disaster with people, she blurs the boundary be-tween the persons involved and the persons who were not.

During Momentum, Nishiko will create a temporary studio in the space of GEMAK from November 8 till December 14 working at the site trying to figure out how to store objects and pictures that she repaired and documented in Japan. N

Special Screening:The Otolith Group

uk – people to be resembling

Several RWR13 artists have released albums on the con-temporary jazz label ECM. The video essay People to be Resembling by the London The Otolith Group is a portrait of the method-

ologies of free jazz, world fusion music trio Codona, who released their first al-bum through ECM in 1978.

People to be Resembling will be screened in the main hall of Paard van Troje on both festival days. See time table (p58).

Roger Hiorns

uk — untitled, 2008

The work of the British artist Roger Hiorns seems to create an endless stream of foam out of nothing at all. His pots and vases contain liquid detergent, with air generated by small compres-sors. Over time, a soapy substance rises out of the vessels, then collapses and dissolves on the floor. These works give the im-pression that they pay no attention whatsoever to their environ-ment, visitors or even our known reality. They are at once formed and formless, motionless and in motion, always now and always just in the future. It is a perfect loop that continuously reinvents itself, repeating itself without ever being the same.

Sarah van Sonsbeeck

nl — moment of bliss, 2012 Sarah van Sonsbeeck’s ‘Moment of Bliss’ from 2012 is a sight spe-cific light installation, recalling a sunrise. The work was originally made for the Funeral Museum (Uitvaartmuseum) in Amsterdam. While thinking about what to contribute to such a sad place, the sunlight lit up Van Sonsbeeck’s studio, inspiring her to use this natu-ral phenomenon to ‘lighten’ the mood. The stage light is positioned in such a way that it mimics the angle of a natural sunrise. The work is sight specific in the sense that it is positioned in the gallery space in such a way that it really engages with the architecture, either em-phasizing the architectural features in place or obscuring them.

751nl — rwr at night Paard I, 1.00 & 4.00

751 started out as a dj in skatepark Sweatshop in The Hague. Jelle Hamstra, not even 20 years old, already made it to leading club nights in The Netherlands like Colors, Dekmantel, Electro Deluxe and Pitch Festival. 751 is ready to become a name in tech-no you cannot ignore.

Black Marbleus — post punk Paard II, 20.45

Performing for the first time in The Netherlands, REWIRE pre-sents Black Marble, a duo hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Their synthwave sound simultaneously delivers an exhilarating dark, cold, punk and electronic punch. They come highly recommend-ed to fans of 80’s wave or more contemporary acts like John Maus, Light Asylum and The Soft Moon.

Food & Fenneszno / uk / at — nordic jazz Prins27, 22.15

Another special collaboration on the festival programme is the partnership between jazz/improvisation duo Food (Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen and British saxophonist Iain Ballamy), and Austrian guitarist/producer Christian Fennesz. Their album is released by the adventurous contemporary jazz label ECM Records.

Holly Herndonus — rwr at night Paard II, 0.00

Electronic music scientist Holly Herndon likes to blur the bound-aries between man and ma-chine. She uses her voice and laptop in an innovative and un-conventional way, resulting in a dark, compelling performance.

Iceagedk — post punk/minimal wave Paard II, 23.00 The restless, nihilistic band Iceage creates a storm with un-compromising (post) punk heav-ily resonating with industrial and noise influences. These Danish youngsters always manage to whip up an element of mayhem in their boisterous crowds. Their second, critically acclaimed al-bum ‘You’re Nothing’ came out earlier this year through Mata-dor Records and was awarded one of the highest ratings of the year from online music magazine Pitchfork (just like their first).

Intergalactic Garynl — rwr at night Paard II, 1.45

Intergalactic Gary mixes italo, disco, Chicago and Detroit house, synth and electro. This old warhorse has already been spinning records in the European club scene since the 90’s.

Lumisokeait / be Prins27, 23.30

Lumisokea’s music is highly physical and at the same time rich in texture, using both acoustic (cello, prepared pi-ano) as well as (analog) elec-tronic instruments to create a dark and introspective listen-ing experience. Their influenc-es range from dub to noise, bass music, techno and mu-sique concrète. The impact of their live show is strengthened by its visual aspect, created by video artist Yannick Jacquet (Legoman).

The Berlin duo Modeselektor recently released a top notch sec-ond album together with Apparat as Moderat. We are happy that Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary found some space in their busy schedules for one of their infamous dj sets to get everyone sweating on the dance floor. Their sets are difficult to pigeonhole. Modeselektor, accompanied by their regular vj Pfadfinderei, pull out all the stops to get us dancing; playfully switching between techno, IDM, glitch-hop or anything else they feel like playing.

Møster!no — nordic jazz Prins27, 20.30 The Norwegian composer and saxophonist Kjetil Møster plays in several Norwegian jazz and pop groups (includ-ing Datarock). He has a back-ground as a bass player in met-al bands and is also a big fan

of jazz master John Coltrane. His band consists of guitarist Hans Magnus ‘Snah’ Ryan (also frontman of Motorpsycho), bass player Nikolai Eilertsen (Bing Bang) and drummer Ken-neth Kapstad (Motorpsycho). The result: Møster blows you away with expressive and fierce eruptions of sound, based on inescapable grooves and riffs.

Nils Petter Molvær & Moritz von Oswaldno / de — nordic jazz Teresia van Avila, 21.15

This rare performance represents the Dutch premiere of trumpet player Nils Petter Molvaer playing with techno pioneer Moritz von Oswald. Molvaer is one of the most famous jazz musicians from Norway; he blends jazz, ambient music and post-rock into intense soundscapes. German based Moritz von Oswald was one of the founders of minimal techno in the early 90s, and is known for his work with Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound performing under the name Maurizio. Their collaborative album was released in October. M

Still Serious Nicnl — rwr at night Paard I, 0.00

This guy has more to offer than an impressive beard. Still Serious Nic is one of the leading forces behind the notorious BAKK or-ganization/record label from The Hague and he hosts the weekly ‘Odd Beat Radio show’ on I-F’s influential Intergalatic FM internet radio station. As a dj he treats us to anything from house, techno, acid, electro, Chicago/Detroit to disco / boogie and back.

Bathsus Paard I, 22.45 Producer and singer-song-writer Baths (Will Wiesenfeld) caused a stir with his new, second album ‘Obsidian’, re-leased in late May. His intimate and layered electronic songs with unconventional crackling beats, create a dark under-lay-er of sound, which contrasts beautifully with the lightness of Wiesenfeld’s voice.

Cloud Boatuk — r&s records night Paard II, 0.15 The London duo Sam Ricketts and Tom Clarke of Cloud Boat were chosen by Mount Kimbie and James Blake to join them on their recent tour. When you hear the delicacy and subtlety of their songs, it’s easy to understand why. Their debut album ‘Book of Hours’ was recently released on R&S records (Vondelpark, Lone, Space Dimension Controller, and previously James Blake).

dBridgeuk — r&s records night Paard II, 2.00

As a former member of Bad Company, the London based pro-ducer dBridge could easily be lauded as the godfather of drum ‘n’ bass. However, he actively distances himself from the drum ‘n’ bass revival and incessant pounding sound that dominates the dance party scene. Instead, dBridge has crafted a unique style of his own called autonomic, which combines the pace of drum ‘n’ bass with sounds covering the whole electronic music spec-trum. His musical development - from drum ‘n’ bass to dubstep to techno - has shaped the sound of dBridge of today. With his performances, dBridge brings the welcome elements of surprise and unpredictability to contemporary drum ‘n’ bass.

Jerusalem In My Heartca — collaborative programme

Paard I, 21.30

Ac-companied by projections de-vised by Chilean-born Malena Szlam, Radwan Moumneh cre-ates a totally immersive, visual and theatrical experience.

James Ferrarous Paard II, 23.15

The highly productive and conceptual American musician/pro-ducer James Ferraro is the founder of so-called hypnagogic pop, best described as “a music that dreams of the future by dreaming of the past”. It sounds like a combination of electronic pop and disco from the 80s and 90s, New Age and experimental music. Ferraro describes his music as “recordings approximate the headspace of the moment just before you go to sleep as a child, while somewhere in the distance the sounds of pop and disco come muffled through the wall and infiltrate your subcon-scious.” On his new album, ‘NYC, Hell, 3:00 AM’ (released Oc-tober 15) James Ferraro evolves from electronic music producer to against-the-grain vocalist.

Julia Holterus — chamber pop Teresia van Avila, 21.45

August saw the release of the long-awaited new album ‘Loud City Song’ (Domino Records) of Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Julia Holter. Her high, clear voice, backed by carefully arranged, experimental pop songs, cuts right through to your soul. Live, she is accompanied by her band, providing a warm, dynamic carpet of strings and soaring saxophone melodies. A reviewer from Boston recently praised it as “completely entrancing, cinematic, and utterly gorgeous set of avant-pop music.”

Kelpeuk Paard II, 22.00 The rich, eclectic musical world of the British electronica pro-ducer Kelpe (Kel McKeown) expands all the way from beats ‘n bass and instrumental hip-hop, to dubstep and chillwave. Kelpe’s fourth album ‘Fourth: The Golden Eagle’ glows with in-genuity, and encourages dancing with a broad smile.

Loneuk — r&s records night Paard II, 3.00

Lone (Matt Cutler from Not-tingham, UK) started out as a bedroom producer several years ago, influenced by acts like Boards of Canada, Madlib and Bibio. Over the years, his hip-hop flavoured sound has evolved into a faster-paced more energetic sound, fo-cused on classic rave and Detroit techno.

Loyunl / lv Paard II, 20.45 Loyu is an electronic duo formed in 2011. Their music is a play between voice, col-lapsing beats and intricate soundscapes. The music is highly physical and atmospher-ic. While it is built around the voice and lyrics of (former jazz) singer Baiba Yurkevich, traces of glitch and avant-garde elec-tronic influences leave a mark in the musical world of Loyu.

Lucrecia Daltco / es — chamber pop

Teresia van Avila, 20.15

Colombian-born Lucrecia Dalt crafts hypnotic and compel-ling compositions by building layer-upon-layer of bass guitar riffs, rich pedal effects and driv-ing drum machine beats. Her hypnotic, dreamy soundscapes evoke a feeling of eerieness.

Moon Ate The Darkuk / ca — indie classical Prins27, 20.00 Neo-classical/ambient duo Moon Ate The Dark consists of Welsh pianist Anna Rose Car-ter and Canadian producer Christopher Bailey. Lose your-self in their beautiful, fragile compositions and dream the night away. Their eponymous album is released through Sonic Pieces, a label that also includes releases by Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick, Dustin O’Halloran and Hauschka. Lu

Nathan Fakeuk — rwr at night Paard I, 1.00 UK based Nathan Fake (real name) provides the much-needed warmth in techno music. Operating from James Holden’s Border Community label, ever since he conquered the world’s dance floors with ‘The Sky Was Pink’, Nathan Fake has become a true star of electronic dance music.

Seamsuk — rwr at night Paard I, 0.00

Seams is the alias of the young British producer James Welch. He got inspired by the vibrant, sultry summer nights in Berlin, which you can hear in his glitchy synthesizer sounds and light beats. Seams does not sound smooth or clinical, but a little lo-fi with a very danceable edge. His long-awaited debut album ‘Quarters’, recorded at four dif-ferent locations in Berlin, was released mid-September.

Space DimensionControllerie — r&s records night Paard II, 1.00

Science fiction lover Jack Hammill creates stories and then converts them into funky soundtracks, blending elec-tro, disco and house music. This young Irish producer and self-proclaimed King of Galactic Funk is the lynchpin connecting the past and future of electronic dance music.

Tapese — indie classical

Prins27, 22.45 Stockholm-based trio Tape combines pop, minimalism and experimentation through acoustic instruments, electron-ics and field recordings. The result is exceptionally beauti-ful, warm post-rock. Their ea-gerly anticipated new album is expected later this year.

Traxxus — rwr at night Paard I, 2.00

Melvin Oliphant III from Chicago, better known as Traxx, lives for music. The label owner (Nation) is more than a dj, he’s someone who loves to challenge the dance floor and who does not com-promise. He composes his dj sets in an inimitable and organic way and energetically conveys his music to his audience. He draws from the depths of diverse styles like acid, wave, Chicago and Detroit house and disco.

Valgeir Sigurdssonis — indie classical Prins27, 21.00

As a producer, composer, label founder (Bedroom Community) and studio owner, Valgeir Sigurdsson is one of the key figures of the Icelandic music scene. Playing solo on a grand piano, his music exists in the space where (neo-) classical music and elec-tronics meet, and is guaranteed to send chills down your spine.
