Mudam Luxembourg is proud to present 'Call + Response', a series of
events hosted by artist Candice Breitz.
Creative innovation has always relied, to some extent, on the logic of
call-and-response, a phrase that Breitz borrows from musicologists,
who use it to describe the interactive quality that is key to musical
experience in various oral cultures. Mudam warmly invites you to share
your ideas with a group of artists and thinkers as they explore the
logic of call-and-response and reflect on strategies of artistic
appropriation and creative recycling during a three-day line-up of
performances, panels and discussions.

PROGRAMME

Friday, 25 April 2008 Evening
OPENING EVENTS
Forsyth + Pollard
London-based artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard met and began
working collaboratively in 1993. An interdisciplinary approach to art,
music, mediation and ?liveness¹ has led to their continued engagement
with the soundtrack underpinning contemporary life. Their universal
yet highly personal strategies play out ideas of memory, performance
and the mediated image in a challenging but highly accessible body of
work.

Saturday, 26 April 2008 10am-6pm
Mondo Youtube
This day-long session brings together several artists who have
explored the participatory potential of mainstream media such as
advertising, the Internet, reality television, video games, MySpace
and YouTube. Given the increasingly profit-driven nature of most of
these formats, is it possible for a challenging culture of
call-and-response to exist within these nascent public spheres, or
inevitable that all criticism and innovative thought introduced into
these new formats will immediately be instrumentalized towards
commercial ends? Invited artists will supplement discussions of their
own work with examples of mainstream media that have interested them,
influenced them, or into which they have actively intervened.

Sunday, 27 April 2008 10am-6pm
After Images
This day-long session brings together several artists who have engaged
in explicit call-and-response relationships with other artists or
works of art, addressing the crucial exchange and dialogue that
motivates artistic practice. Each artist will talk about their own
work in relation to those artists or works of art that they respond to
or dialogue with in their work.
with:
Surasi Kusolwong, Bangkok
Jonathan Monk, Berlin
Claude Closky, Paris
Kaz Oshiro, Los Angeles
James Webb, Cape Town

Keynote Speaker :
Lawrence Lessig, San Francisco

Professor Lessig's talk will be held at Philharmonie (3 mins walk from

Monday, 28 April 2008 9am-8pm
Art Goes To The Movies
Martin Arnold has written that, ³The cinema of Hollywood is a cinema
of exclusion, reduction and denial, a cinema of repression. There is
always something behind that which is being represented, which was not
represented. And it is exactly that that is most interesting to
consider.² This premise can be seen to inform the work of many
contemporary artists who work in video today. This day-long session
brings together several artists who have responded to and cannibalized
mainstream cinema in their work, addressing the complex
call-and-response relationship that exists between commercial cinema
and contemporary art. Each artist will have the opportunity to talk
about their use of found footage and their relationship to the
cinematic images that they recycle in their work.
with:
Paul Pfeiffer, New York
Pierre Bismuth, Brussels
Martin Arnold, Vienna
Candice Breitz, Berlin
Keynote Speaker :
Diedrich Diederichsen, Berlin

Evening
Momus Live
³Ultraconformist, voyager, timelord, tennis and ping pong champion,
tender pervert, poison boyfriend, hippopotamus, philosopher, folk
singer, star forever.² Nick Currie, more popularly known under the
artist name Momus (after the Greek god of mockery), is a songwriter,
blogger and a journalist for Wired. Most of his songs are
self-referential or postmodern.
