Guillaume Apollinaire: Annie

Annie

Sur la côte du Texas
Entre Mobile et Galveston il y a
Un grand jardin tout plein de roses
Il contient aussi une villa
Qui est une grande rose

Une femme se promène souvent
Dans le jardin toute seule
Et quand je passe sur la route bordée de tilleuls
Nous nous regardons

Comme cette femme est mennonite
Ses rosiers et ses vêtements n’ont pas de boutons
Il en manque deux à mon veston
La dame et moi suivons presque le même rite

Guillaume Apollinaire: Poème 1909

1909

La dame avait une robe
En ottoman violine
Et sa tunique brodée d’or
Était composée de deux panneaux
S’attachant sur l’épaule

Les yeux dansants comme des anges
Elle riait elle riait
Elle avait un visage aux couleurs de France
Les yeux bleus les dents blanches et les lèvres très rouges
Elle avait un visage aux couleurs de France

Elle était décolletée en rond
Et coiffée à la Récamier
Avec de beaux bras nus

N’entendra-t-on jamais sonner minuit

La dame en robe d’ottoman violine
Et en tunique brodée d’or
Décolletée en rond
Promenait ses boucles
Son bandeau d’or
Et traînait ses petits souliers à boucles

Elle était si belle
Que tu n’aurais pas osé l’aimer

J’aimais les femmes atroces dans les quartiers énormes
Où naissaient chaque jour quelques êtres nouveaux
Le fer était leur sang la flamme leur cerveau

J’aimais j’aimais le peuple habile des machines
Le luxe et la beauté ne sont que son écume
Cette femme était si belle
Qu’elle me faisait peur

Watou Arts Festival 2024 makes room for imagination

Watou Arts Festival 2024
makes room for imagination

The city of Poperinge, inspirator Koen Vanmechelen and curators James Putnam and Michaël Vandebril present the 2024 edition of Watou Arts Festival. ‘Landscape of the Imagination’ will take place from July 6 to September 1. Artists and poets will showcase the power of the imagination, in dialogue with each other and with several unique locations in and around the village and castle De Lovie.

Imagination as an engine of change
The new edition of the Watou Arts Festival focuses on the power of the imagination. After two successful editions, Koen Vanmechelen and Michaël Vandebril assume their role, for the third consecutive time, as respectively inspirer and curator of poetry. James Putnam, who has previously (in 2022) assumed the role of visual arts curator, completes the three-member curatorial team.

Many of the artists developed their works in dialogue with Watou’s locality. In the spring of 2023, a record number of 200 artists registered for the open call ‘Patchwwwork’. An international jury – chaired by Koen Vanmechelen and consisting of Dirk Draulans, Jo Coucke, Marjan Doom, James Putnam, Edith Doove, Michaël Vandebril, Sabiha Keyif and Loes Vandromme – selected the participants for the summer camp. Their ideas ‘flow’ from the landscape, which resulted in some twenty new realizations. As a result, theartworks are sometimes playful, but at the same time thought-provoking.

A selection of participating artists*:
Pato Bosich (CL) – Cecile Broekaert (BE) – Monique Broekman (NL) – Linde Carrijn & Dijf Sanders (BE) – Mat Collishaw (GB) – Matthijs De Block (BE) – Lieze De Middeleir (BE) – Werner de Valk (NL) – Joost Elschot (NL) – Karolina Halatek (PL) – Mariko Hori (JP) – John Isaacs (GB) – Lafleur & Bogaert (HT & BE) – Ilya Kabakov (RU) – Carel Lanters & Lee Eun Young (NL & KR) – Mashid Mohadjerin & Jan De Vroede (IR & BE) – Daan Navarrete-van der Pluijm (NL) – Alice Obee (BE) – Mikes Poppe (BE) – Roundhouse Platform (US) – Marina Resende Santos (BR) – Anila Rubiku (AL) – Sanne van Balen (NL) – Lieke van der Meer (NL) – Lie van der Werff (NL) – Laura Vandewynckel (BE) – Koen Vanmechelen (BE)   *more to be announced

Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder by Salman Rushdie

On the morning of August 12, 2022, Salman Rushdie was standing onstage at the Chautauqua Institution, preparing to give a lecture on the importance of keeping writers safe from harm, when a man in black—black clothes, black mask—rushed down the aisle toward him, wielding a knife. His first thought: So it’s you. Here you are.

What followed was a horrific act of violence that shook the literary world and beyond. Now, for the first time, and in unforgettable detail, Rushdie relives the traumatic events of that day and its aftermath, as well as his journey toward physical recovery and the healing that was made possible by the love and support of his wife, Eliza, his family, his army of doctors and physical therapists, and his community of readers worldwide.

Knife is Rushdie at the peak of his powers, writing with urgency, with gravity, with unflinching honesty. It is also a deeply moving reminder of literature’s capacity to make sense of the unthinkable, an intimate and life-affirming meditation on life, loss, love, art—and finding the strength to stand up again.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie, a searing, deeply personal account of enduring—and surviving—an attempt on his life thirty years after the fatwa that was ordered against him.

Salman Rushdie is the author of fifteen novels—Luka and the Fire of Life; Grimus; Midnight’s Children (for which he won the Booker Prize and the Best of the Booker); Shame; The Satanic Verses; Haroun and the Sea of Stories; The Moor’s Last Sigh; The Ground Beneath Her Feet; Fury; Shalimar the Clown; The Enchantress of Florence; Two Years, Eight Months, and Twenty-Eight Nights; The Golden House; Quichotte (which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize); and Victory City—and one collection of short stories: East, West. He has also published five works of nonfiction—The Jaguar Smile; Imaginary Homelands; Step Across This Line; Joseph Anton; and Languages of Truth—and coedited two anthologies, Mirrorwork and Best American Short Stories 2008. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and a Distinguished Writer in Residence at New York University. A former president of PEN American Center, Rushdie was knighted in 2007 for services to literature.

Natalie Amiri & Düzen Tekkal: Nous n’avons pas peur. Le courage des femmes iraniennes

En écho au mouvement « Femme, Vie, Liberté », 16 femmes iraniennes livrent ici leurs témoignages.

Ces voix s’élèvent parfois depuis l’exil, parfois depuis des cellules de prison. Elles parlent d’une vie sans droits contrôlée par la police des mœurs, d’humiliations, de mise sous tutelle et de détresse économique.

Mais aussi d’une nouvelle génération, d’une révolution que plus rien ne pourra arrêter, de libertés qui se gagnent pas à pas et de l’incroyable résilience du peuple iranien. Leurs textes sont bouleversants, remplis de larmes et porteurs d’espoir. Leur bravoure est une leçon d’humanité.

Avec les témoignages de : Golshifteh Farahani, Ghazal Abdollahi, Parastou Forouhar, Shohreh Bayat, Shila Behjat, Ani, Nargess Eskandari-Grünberg, Fariba Balouch, Rita Jahanforuz, Jasmin Shakeri, Shirin Ebadi, Masih Alinejad, Narges Mohammadi, Nazanin Boniadi, Nasrin Sotoudeh, Leily.

Traduit de l’allemand par Mathilde Ramadier, sauf pour le témoignage de Golshifteh Farahani, recueilli par Sophie Caillat.

Emmy Hennings: Ein Traum

 

Ein Traum

Wir liegen in einem tiefem See
Und wissen nichts von Leid und Weh.
Wir halten uns umfangen
Und Wasserrosen rings um uns her.
Wir streben und wünschen und wollen nichts mehr.
Wir haben kein Verlangen.
Geliebter, etwas fehlt mir doch,
Einen Wunsch, den hab ich noch:
Die Sehnsucht nach der Sehnsucht.

Emmy Hennings
(1885 – 1948)

Marina Abramović in Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam

Het grootste overzicht ooit in Nederland van de legendarische kunstenaar Marina Abramović!

Ruim 60 belangrijke werken tonen de ontwikkeling van het indrukwekkende oeuvre van de pionier van de performancekunst in de afgelopen vijftig jaar: van haar vroege werk, dat ze maakte in het voormalige Joegoslavië en in Amsterdam, tot de baanbrekende performances met haar partner Ulay en het solowerk waarmee ze nog steeds actief is.

Te zien zijn foto’s, video’s, sculpturen en live heruitvoeringen van vier iconische performances die voor het eerst worden uitgevoerd in Nederland: Art Must Be Beautiful, Artist Must Be Beautiful (1975), Imponderabilia (werk met Ulay) (1977), Luminosity (1997) en The House with the Ocean View (2002). Als bezoeker kun je zelf ook deelnemen aan twee werken: Work Relation (werk met Ulay) (1978) en Counting the Rice van de Abramović Methode.

There are so many different forms of art, performance is one of the most difficult, the most immaterial, and the most real.
— Marina Abramović

Marina Abramović is sinds de jaren 70 een prominente figuur in de performance- en body art en wordt beschouwd als een van de belangrijkste grondleggers van deze kunstvorm.

Ze bracht de performancekunst van het experimentele begin naar de mainstream. Ze gebruikt haar eigen lichaam en test de grenzen van haar fysieke en mentale uithoudingsvermogen.

Samen met haar geliefde Ulay, die ze in 1975 in Amsterdam ontmoet, wordt ze wereldwijd beroemd met langdurende performances waarin zij hun grenzen tot het uiterste op de proef stellen.

In haar latere solowerk richt zij zich meer op het verkennen van spiritualiteit en het creëren van een wisselwerking, waarin het publiek actief onderdeel wordt van haar werk en een gedeelde energie.

DEAR AWKWARDNESS tentoonstelling AVA NAVAS in PARK

Ana Navas, geboren in 1984 in Quito, Ecuador, en opgegroeid in Venezuela, is een multidisciplinair kunstenaar.

Haar werk richt zich op thema’s als assimilatie en toe-eigening, met de nadruk op de oorsprong van kunst- en designobjecten en de relatie tussen hoge en populaire cultuur.

‘Dear awkwardness’ is een persoonlijke brief waarin ze haar dank uitspreekt voor het concept van awkwardness. Ze erkent de negatieve invloed ervan op sociale situaties, maar omarmt ook de positieve invloed ervan en integreert het in het proces van het maken van haar kunst.

De bij PARK getoonde glaswerken zijn onlangs gemaakt bij MAKE in Eindhoven en laten deze ‘awkward mentaliteit’ zien.
