In conjunction with the exhibition "In memery," the first major solo exhibition of the artist Sture Johannesson (SE), Index presents Baby Day Tripping, a Liquid Light Show with projections and music especially designed for children aged 0-2 years. Liquid Light shows moving light projections created by liquid chemical fluids that react with each other live in front of a live audience were commonly used in the 60's and 70's as part of art and music performances and the psychedelic rock concerts. Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Velvet Underground often worked with light show artists and artist collectives such as Mike Leonard, Brotherhood of Light, Light Sound Dimension and Marc Boyle, which sought to simulate or stimulate the effect of LSD by means of technology and spellbinding environments. As part of the workshop for children Index will show Liquid Loops (1969), by the legendary light show artist Joshua White (U.S.). The material is a digitized copy of the original recording and a unique document of the classic phenomenon. Liquid Loops has been shown at the Whitney Museum in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, DC, the Tate Modern in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Liquid Loops works both as a video portrait of Joshua Light Shows ephemeral art form and as an inspiration to musicians, VJs and set designers both then and now. Booking required! RSVP by 17 May to Louise Dyhlén, louise@indexfoundation.se 12/11/2012, 6 - 9 p.m. Workshop by The Great Learning Orchestra (musicians collective from all walks of musical life, Stockholm) Fylkingen Söder Mälarstrand 27 118 25 Stockholm GLO will lead a workshop in which participants will be able to explore Cornelius Cardew’s project The Scratch Orchestra (1969-72) that sought to invite both musicians and non-musicians to create new parameters in a musical context. There will be a brief introduction to Cardew’s projects, accompanied by a few exercises and pieces written for this purpose, i.e. parts of his important work The Great Learning (1971). Participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments; however, it will be possible to use voices and other ways to generate sound. After a break, the workshop will focus on the graphic score Treatise (1963-67) and the idea of graphic composition. Participants will try to play a part of the piece, and talk about different interpretations which could lead to homework assignments in view of taking part in The Great Learning Orchestra’s concert on 15th November at Fylkingen as part of Index’s weekly series The audience is the mother of self-invention. Participants don’t need to be able to play any instruments. It is possible to use other forms of action such as dancing, acting or any other artistic expression. To sign up please contact Joanna Nowotny on joanna@indexfoundation.se or 08 5021 98 38 For 30 participants of all ages Publish and be Damned: Nordic Models workshops engage audience groups in the socially-minded and grass-roots nature of independent publishing tradition, two workshops will be concurrent to the conference and the fair. 12/10/12, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. 05/10/2012, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Anna Koch (artist, choreographer and director of WELD, Stockholm) 08/10/2012, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Anna Kinbom (artist, Stockholm) These two workshops map out diverse approaches that score action and thought from a wide spectrum of perspectives (musical, instruction-based, physical, durational, etc.). By selecting artworks from a collection of historical as well as recent performance art, participants will learn what extensive possibilities these approaches can offer, from direct experience to spectatorial agency, from writing up their own scores to instruct others to enact them.
