2. [EMANCIPATE !]
____________________________________________________________________________
Panel Discussion MON 02/02, 20:00

The rapid restructuring of the dominant socio-political order in the
formerly socialist East European countries led to brisk transformation on
all fronts. How is this reflected in artistic and curatorial practice? Have
East Europeans developed new strategies, or merely copied Western patterns?
How might emancipatory models look?

SABINA SABOLOVIC (curators collective What, How and for Whom/ WHW, HR)
KATARINA ZIVANOVIC (director Rex Cultural Centre, Belgrade, YU)
INKE ARNS (independent curator, DE)
WOJT3K KUCHARCZYK (Mik Musik, PL)
Moderation: SUSANNA NIEDERMAYR (journalist, author, AT)



3. [RADIO ACTIVITY]
____________________________________________________________________________
Panel Discussion TUE 03/02, 20:00

Radio has never been so boring  - commercial radio is completely out of
touch with local (sub)- cultures. Independent initiatives - when left in
peace to get on with it - demonstrate how radio can be a forum for local
artistic and political interaction. In Berlin the fight's been on for years
for a free frequency. The radio project reboot.fm, calls now for a complete
fresh departure. Particularly in former East Block countries, independent
radio played a significant role throughout the 90s, supporting the
democratisation of politics, cultural life and the media. Which strategies
were tried out there? What are the respective cultural backgrounds, which
pushes towards the development of alternative radio formats - here and
elsewhere?

BALASZ WEYER (Radio Tilos, Budapest, HU),
PIT SCHULTZ (reboot.fm, Klubradio, DE)
WOLFGANG HAGEN (Deutschlandradio, media scientist, author, DE)

5. [TERRITERROTORIUM]
____________________________________________________________________________
Live Audio Play WED 03/02, 21:00

Live audio-play in the tradition of gang warfare, DJ Battle and disputation.
Two audio-terrorists spring back and forth over the Polish-German border,
with no regard for customs regulations. Regional statement and cultural
"poses" in a catapult exchange give rise to coarse cacaphonic slaughter
between neighbouring cultures, which approach each other without diplomacy,
or false etiquette. A racing musical ball-game somewhere between
Musique-Concrète-Collage and Dadaistic lecture.

by WOJT3K KUCHARCZYK & FELIX KUBIN (PL/DE)

6. [EUROPEAN MERIDIANS]
____________________________________________________________________________
Book released by Susanna Niedermayr and Christian Scheib

The first volume of Susanna Niedermayr´s and Christian Scheib´s audio
journey through the Eastern
European electronic and electro accoustic scenes is continued in this second
volume through Lithuania,
Romania, Serbia-Montenegro, Estonia, Latvia and Czech Republic.
In their reports Niedermayr and Scheib describe musical and aesthetic
currents as they relate to social
changes, portraying organisational power centres of the new movements that
were shooting up: From
Internet platform composers to composers´ associations, and are also telling
stories of cases where art
and politics clash. For the rich varied scenes - electronic music,
contemporary composition,
improvisation, the club scene - not only react to social conditions, but
sometimes determine those
conditions further development as well.
