Akiko Wakabayashi’s design, which alternates between video stills and text, delves into the thought-provoking world of her work. In her first solo exhibition in Japan, “unset on-set,” six of her representative video works and new works will be exhibited. The new works, produced in Japan on the occasion of this exhibition, take texts, primarily by women writers active from the 1920s to the 1940s, that delve into issues such as women’s social status, sexuality, and war, and explore what aspects of today’s society they reflect.

In parallel the trajectory of the exhibition, the first retrospective of the artist, shows the consolidation of a singular enunciation, the finding of one’s own timbre and artistic language. It was important that a catalogue echoed the acoustic particularity of the exhibition. Before thinking about text a publication was imagined exclusively dedicated to sound, made of the songs that appear in the film works, recovered and edited for this occasion. Apart from Injeção by Deize Tigrona, all the recordings on the album - even if a few are preexisting songs - were produced on set and therefore are almost documentary in character. The accompanying book bears essays and a poem reflecting the attitude of the work. This catalogue - consisting of an LP and a book together - was published accompanying the exhibition: tono lengua boca, curated by Anna Manubens, 03.10.2019 - 05.01.2020 in CA2M Móstoles, Madrid.

Featuring three new filmic works, presented in a site-specific installation engaging with Gerrit Rietveld’s pavilion architecture, the exhibition operates in the cracks between the projected image of the Netherlands as a transparent avant-garde country and its reality today as a complex and rapidly transforming social, cultural and political space. Van Oldenborgh uses the cinematic format as a methodology for production, with live film shoots generating the collective co-production of scripts. This publication presents rich visual documentation, together with essays by writers from a wide range of fields. It extends Cinema Olanda’s integrated engagement with art, film and architecture in dynamic relation to questions of social imaginary and agency.Ed.

Both films take up rarely spoken fragments of the Dutch colonial past, particularly related to Indonesia, that are dormant but still affective in contemporary Dutch society. With the participation of different historical and contemporary stakeholders set against specific built environments, these two films are presented in the form of photo-novels. The film No False Echoes introduces one of the major historical sources cited in full in the publication, that is, a 1913 essay on national freedom by Soewardi Soeryaningrat, an Indonesian nationalist—or “revolutionary”—whose radical position manifested in the essay is widely known in Indonesia. The reprint of this essay is accompanied by two contemporary responses by Lizzy van Leeuwen and Nuraini Juliastuti, which in turn open another text written in 1935 by Soeryaningrat under a different name, Ki Hajar Dewantara, concerning national education in Indonesia. The latter text indicates the shift in political strategies, which, instead of fearless resistance, moves forward toward gradual building of counter-institutions of “upbringing” of new independent subjects.Electric Palm Tree Textbook 01 Edited by Binna Choi, Wendelien van Oldenborgh Texts by&nbsp;Lizzy van Leeuwen, Nuraini Juliastuti and Soewardi Soeryaningrat Design by Julia BornISBN 978-1-934105-22-1 Buy at Sternberg Press ︎&nbsp; https://wendelienvanoldenborgh.info/Book-As-Occasions Tue, 14 Jan 2020 00:52:25 +0000 wendelien van oldenborgh https://wendelienvanoldenborgh.info/Book-As-Occasions &nbsp; <img width="1362" height="1884" width_o="1362" height_o="1884" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/72abc80576ff053ea6e735a11ee00b664f8ff80c67e6ffe678e4536f9b1cc557/Zrzut-ekranu-2020-01-13-o-21.49.34.png" data-mid="58437162" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/72abc80576ff053ea6e735a11ee00b664f8ff80c67e6ffe678e4536f9b1cc557/Zrzut-ekranu-2020-01-13-o-21.49.34.png" /> This publication in Dutch and English was issued accompanying the exhibition: Wendelien van Oldenborgh – As Occasions, 12.09 - 09.11, 2008 in TENT.
