De Appel in De IJsbreker

At 8:45 pm in the café, a recording will be played of Mondriaan or Volendam, a radio programme by Lawrence Weiner that De Appel broadcast in cooperation with VPRO on March 26, 1985. In this live programme, Weiner, along with Paul Groot and Marianne Brouwer, answers listeners’ questions about art. From 9 to 9:30 pm. Johan Cornelissen will present a new work entitled Jeruzalem - New York. There will be an interval from 9:30 to 10 pm. Then in the café videos will be shown of: - Jeffrey Shaw, The Narrative Landscape. The Narrative Landscape was presented from June 1 to 21 in cooperation with the Holland Festival. A series of images and texts, hidden in a computer, allow the viewer to compose his own scenario by using a joystick that takes him from image to image. During this ‘journey’, the viewer walks through the literary structure of various stories by Dirk Groeneveld that accompany each of the 27 images. - Florian Kleinemann / Fritz Rahmann, Camera Obscura. From July 8 to 22 of this year, De Appel presented the project Camera Obscura in cooperation with the Dutch Railways and Hoogovens. The world is projected in the train compartment upside down and in reverse. The basic premise was that the images emerge from the given situation itself. - Peter Zegveld, Dynamical Tumults. In April of this year, Dynamical Tumults, or the concert-on-the-motorway, took place on the newly completed A6 national trunk road near Almere. Peter Zegveld had used six containers to create an area here where the public could gather to give itself over to the sounds directed by Zegveld; cars and motorcycles racing by, a chorus and a 50-piece band make ‘the material transparent and the energy visible.’ (Zegveld). During the interval, cassettes can be purchased which Peter Zegveld and Johan Cornelissen are issuing in conjunction with a project they carried out with De Appel. - Peter Zegveld, Dynamica Tumultus, 50 guilders - Johan Cornalissen, J.C.Equatoriaal, 175 guilders. From May 1982 to May 1983, Johan Cornelissen travelled along the equator, a fictitious line that functioned as his studio that year. During the journey he sent objects, mental cards, written and spoken letters to De Appel. De Appel distributed this material via various channels. In this way the objects and mental cards were shown in a showcase in the Tropical Museum and the card room of the University Library, and the spoken letters were incorporated into two radio programmes. The publication J.C. Equatoriaal contains these two radio programmes and a special booklet that includes texts by Josine van Droffelaar, among others. The programme ends with Peter Zegveld presenting three new works from 10 to 10:30 pm: Intro - Coda, Cinemato and Elephantus. (Press release De Appel)
