January 25 & 26 - CTM Vorspiel
PILGRIM AGE by HIAS health in the arts
The New Silence

An assumed equation of the empowered self in the age of raised consciousness. Inspired by personal tendencies we address the trend of pursuing the call of one's soul.

The evoked intention to share out a personal pilgrimage aims to provide a format of re-access.

Mezmerizing video art, poetry, soundworks, writing, installation and performances are exteriorising inner findings whilst sharing its path there.
10 insights into personal experiences and mental journeys are brought together in a quest of subjective and entagling transmission.

Anatums Abode is a project space in london limehouse and the headquarter of HIAS health in the arts initative,where we experiment with settings for togetherness.

PILGRIM AGE was part of an OPEN LECTURE in 2013.

-------------------------------------------------------------

On the 25th Koen Nutters and Jason Grier (http:// hemarchiv.limitedrun.com/) will take over from 23h00.
On the 26th The New Silence (Koen Nutters, Johnny Chang & Morton Olson) will be heard silently during the Pilgrim Age program.

-------------------------------------------------------------

For CTM Vorspiel at O Tannenbaum in the evenings of 25 & 26th of january, HIAS presents PILGRIM AGE, a format for sharing experiences. Co-absorption in multimedia of journeys deriving from the subconscious call to be moving and seeking.
At ones own pace in its own time.



Lee Fukke - Homage to Cornwall's pilgrim path (Video)

It is argued that the shapeshifting psychedelic colouring of the images represent a mood synced reflection of the energetic sphere. Locations of mystical heritage pronounce its remainings through the lens of lee fukke who has spent days wild camping while being on a journey in cornwall visiting sacred sites including the merry maidens, the madron wishing well and men-an-tol

Co written by 18 authors the road movie is depicting a youths quest to follow upon a journey. Fictional metaphors for rebirth's cycle are played by kristoff gerega. For his role as Salpa he slipps into a non-singular construct of the multiple authors that gave him shape. The co author Annekatherine Heier is reading from the submitted scripts shedding light on the development of the character.

Anastasia Freygang is marking a transition. Late works of physical poetry against the forefront of a live caress of her own body is aimed at preparing her for the ventures ahead. Giving time to absorb exposed past in video format her physical presence of longduration represents a personal steppingstone making personal chronology go public.

Chatlotte Wendy Law - Personal pilgrimage to the quarry (Sound and Installation)

In spatial terms it is a safe semi circle for a soul to listen to the recordings Charlotte gathered along the way. Her return to the quarry is a private investigation touching upon sensitive areas of her own life in her home town Devon.

Encounters I May Or May Not Have Had With Peter Berlin
20 min, 2012

Encounters I May Or May Not Have Had With Peter Berlin deals primarily with monumentality, narcissism and the ways in which our heroes are embedded into our identities, and manifested through the body. Through a variety of gestures, the pervasiveness of this practice is highlighted alongside its ultimate, inevitable failure. The viewer moves through various stages of anxiety, idolization and actual touchdown with 70’s gay sex icon Peter Berlin himself, capturing both the apparent and the hidden. The film guides the viewer through the process of making contact with a figure who exists only in his own photographs.

Saturday April 20 - The Kakofonie 005-Triple E (The Beer Issue)
Eric Zboya, Derek Beaulieu, Olivier Maarschalk

Broken Dimanche Press in collaboration with O Tannenbaum are proud to present The Kakofonie 005

A homebrewed publication full of Es
 
E for Ethanol
E for Europe
E for E numbers
 
E for the letter E
 
E is the fifth letter; E=mc²; E is the most commonly used letter in many languages; E is a most beloved letter; there are many Es in George Perec but none in La Disparation; E! is your source for entertainment news, celebrities, celeb news, and celebrity gossip; E as in Eric Zboya although derek beaulieu has four Es in his name; in British sign language E is signed by extending the index finger of the right hand touching the tip of index on the left hand, with all fingers of left hand open; in morse code E looks like ·, e is a mathematical constant and can also be calculated as the sum of the infinite series
 
A homebrewed publication full of Es. One poem to be unread untouched unseen. One typographical painting full of poems. One poem for those that do not see that cannot be felt. One poem for those who do not feel that cannot be read. A language to be touched are letters to be unseen. A language to be read are letters to be unseen.
And then again the most proper probable answer to this most mundane problem: people buy beer but they don’t buy books.

Wednesday April 3 - O Tannenbaum at General Public
Urpf Lanze + González & Steenkiste

O Tannenbaum will be organizing a bunch of concerts on different locations throughout the city. The first in this series will be at General Public in Prenzlauer Berg.

 
URPF LANZE
The Urpf Lanze is the alter ego of Wouter Vanhaelemeesch, who is known as one of the people behind the audioMER and Smeraldina-Rima labels, and as a visual artist with a very distinctive style. The Urpf Lanze brings primitive outsiderfolk from a lonely spacecottage that consists of indecipherable moaning and hollering accompanied by a detuned guitar played on the lap.

GONZALEZ & STEENKISTE
Drawing influences from ethnic and folk music, free and spiritual jazz, psychedelia and minimalism to more contemporary underground acts such as Pelt/Spiral Joy Band, early Hototogisu and Vibracathedral Orchestra, González & Steenkiste embark on sound journeys using a myriad of electric and acoustic instruments where the violin and the harmonium are the main vessels. Belgian (get) high weirdness at it’s finest.
