Now That We Are Even

Most likely the very last show here in the DeltA
The Finale

HOOGTIJ #23 November 12th

Evidently the moment of truth has come without turns. It is now. It is our responsibility, our opportune response. Now that we are absolutely even, do we strike?

The DeltA Centre of apparently Temporary Art opens their granted structure, and the conditions have always been unreasonable here. Probably and most definitely the last show in this very fashion. Instead of an attempt to avoid certain recurrences. As might be well known to some, the investigation of forms within the art continues.

A multiplicity of forms will be equally encountered upon arrival to the exhibition including Performance, Music, Photography, Sculpture, Painting, Video and Installation.

SPECTACLE PREMIERE W-E-D-N-E-S-D-A-Y

10th and 11th of october visitors of the DeltA Centre of Contemporary Art would form the exclusive audience to the satirical and absurd masterpiece of Polish musician, composer and artist Grzegorz Marciniak. Accommodated by the stage design of Veniamin Kazachenko. It was an absolute honour to have had.

"Let us imagine getting old and instead of dying and being buried, we choose to be send in space forever. One way ticket to space. We could still communicate with our family and friends on Earth, but at the same time we would get further and further away from them. Till our time is over. 10 years? 20? 50? Our last experience would be of an endless universe."

The Hand That Feeds You

You see this show in particular was not a conventional exhibition, where you invite a bunch of artist whom you like and they hang their work up and there is the opening and then. No. The participating artist of any discipline, it can be a writer, composer, photographer, had to redefine his practice, reformulate himself, to position self in society. This was an attempt to develop and correct to a certain extent the conception of the artist and art initiative in the eyes of the beholder, in the eyes of the civil servant, the officer, the council of the prosecution. The title of the show indicates questions like 'who is the hand that feeds you', or 'what do you do to the hand' and was meant to criticize or debate the position of the institute and the functionality of, in this case the new DeltA Centre of Contemporary Art. How would you contribute to the theme of the show?

Tomas Raat was inspired by our conversation about the open structure of an art institute by being open to everyone for a month 24/7.
Veniamin Kazachenko was more critical about the matter and found a certain structure necessary otherwise the institute might be worries in progress due to the possibilities of party animal invaders.

BLACK BILE

As a conclusion of our previous attempts to establish an audience more receptive than is usual in The Hague, we had been offered a promotional tool. To engage in a live broadcasting in the stand of the organization by the name of Trentbeheer at Art RAI in Amsterdam. For a couple of days we have used this as a means to promote the forthcoming event. The last in a series of three shows entitled BLACK BILE. Once again we managed to be included in the HOOGTIJ, which is a local gallery night and by this point went by the pseudonym Hoog Tijd to indicate the lack of financial support for the art initiatives in general. This time we invited both the initiators of 1646 as well as the underdogs of Stichting Centrum, which are both located at approximate of 5 minutes slow walking from one another. The opening reception on the 4th of June, had resulted in a complete fiasco, damaging the miserable reputation of the DeltA to such an extent, that no mortal could possibly recover from, even if he would. On top of all, without making any sense of the works exhibited, the people from Trentbeheer dare to write a review on the show yet worse than the show. Henceforth we are forced to change our entire style and methods, this is the motivation, as is to be found in the name of our foundation from now on. Why the show was that much of a disaster should be possible to comprehend by viewing the following pictures.

You Can Have Your Cake (And That's The Way The Cookie Crumbles)

The second show entitled 'You Can Have Your Cake (And That's The Way The Cookie Crumbles) of which the opening ceremony was held on the occasion of Koninginnedag, accompanied by music, cocktail-bar and BBQ, was a considerable success and mind opener for many of the local people, who had underestimated the influence of DeltA as cultural platform. The audience mostly consisted of local artists and under-aged vandalists (which is bound to be the same). Participating artists did react, one way or another, on a certain idea which is hard to define... In fact, it is believed that you would have to have been there. Anyway, one of the main attractions of the show was the appearance of Amir Tirandaz in the image of Armen Eloyan. The finnissage was held on the 19th of May, to coincide with the afterparty of the Atelierroute of STROOM Den Haag, there and then. The show had resulted in the severe consciousness and awareness of the very possibility of the artist being buried alive. Which subsequently set the tone for the next show, BLACK BILE.
