FLUXLIST: Tristram Shandy

2000-09-11 Thread Roger Stevens

I read bits of this at school
many, many, many years ago

I don't think I've ever met anyone
who has read the whole thing through
(bit like Finnegan's Wake)

but an influence to me
no doubt
and I'd recommend you search a copy out
oh yes

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PLEASE
September 9, 2000


Swiss Artists to be in Calgary for "The First International Biennial of
Artist Trading Cards"


The New Gallery /  September 8 to September 30, 2000
___

The NEW Gallery is presenting "The First International Biennial of Artist
Trading Cards" from September 8 to 30, 2000. The exhibition opened on
Friday,
September 8 to a large crowd of 200 enthusiastic viewers. Calgary, along
with Zürich, Switzerland, has become one of two international centres of
the
artistic phenomenon
known as Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). ATCs are 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch
miniature,
signed,
dated works of art which are exchanged by artists and non-artists at
regularly held
Trading Sessions.

The ATCBiennial presents in excess of 5,000 cards made by 100 artists from
15 different countries. The cards were brought together for this exhibition
by Calgary artist Chuck
Stake and Zürich artist m. vänçi stirnemann, co-coordinators of the
Biennial. stirnemann
developed the concept of ATCs in Zürich in 1997 and the idea has been
spreading around the
globe since then. Calgary artist Wendy Toogood installed the exhibition of
miniature
artworks in The NEW Gallery for the ATCBiennial.

In the current issue of Calgary¹s FastForward weekly newspaper (September
07 - September
13, 2000 edition) a review of the Biennial led art critic Monique Westra to
write: "By
showcasing the cards of artists from different countries in this remarkable
Biennial
exhibition, the general public and the wider art community are introduced
to
the tremendous
range of techniques, materials, subjects. The exhibition demonstrates their
creativity, diversity, beauty and wit. Surfaces can be any number of
things --- board, fabric,
watercolour paper, wax, metal, and wood to create card faces that can be
decorated by a
dazzling variety of methods --- painting, drawing, gluing, spraying,
rubber-stamping,
sewing, computer-generating and folding --- to affix any number of
materials
ranging from
found objects like buttons, nails, and beads to organic matter like fur,
hair, twigs,
and leaves."

ATCs are easily accessible by the general public, but, at the same time
they
challenge a number of artistic and cultural paradigms. As Westra states in
FastForward: "Mixing traditions and practices of both the art of high
culture and popular fads, the enterprise defies hierarchal categorization
and erases the distinctions between high and low art. Through
transgression and blurring of boundaries, it is a perfect example of
postmodernism at its
best. The creative freedom and spontaneity of artist trading cards (ATCs)
also recalls the
era of Dada."

stirnemann and fellow Zürich artist Cat Schick, who has been involved with
ATCs from the beginning, will be in Calgary for the final week of the
ATCBiennial (ATCB). Schick is a former Calgary artist, now based in Zürich.
Both her, stirnemann and others will be participating in a number of
scheduled events that will bring the ATCB to a very active conclusion:
Panel
Discussion --- September 28 at 7 pm; Workshop --- September 29 at 7 pm; The
Third Anniversary Trading Session --- September 30 from 5 to 7 pm. Everyone
is invited to attend the Panel Discussion and to participate in the
Workshop
and Trading
Session. All activities are free and take place at The New Gallery (516D -
9th Ave. S.W.). Phone (403) 223-2399 or visit
www.nucleus.com/~thenewgallery/ for more information.

Additionally, on September 1 Zürich ATC Headquarters launched a website
devoted to Artist
Trading Cards.  Further information can be found at that site:
www.artist-trading-cards.ch/world.htm

Schick, Stake, stirnemann and Toogood will also be travelling north to
Edmonton for the
Artist Trading Card Conference that is being presented by Harcourt House
from September 21 through September 23.

If you don't have a chance to come to the Calgary presentation of The
ATCBiennial at The New Gallery, the exhibition will be touring CanaDADA and
internationally for the next two years so watch for this exciting
exhibition
in a venue near you.

Schick/Stake/stirnemann will be available for interviews from September 22
through October 2, 2000. If you wish to talk to them, or, if you would like
further information on the ATCB, please contact:

  I don't think I've ever met anyone
  who has read the whole thing through
  (bit like Finnegan's Wake)

I don'¨t even know anyone who has actually read Ulysses. But one of my big plans for 
the future is to translate Finnegan's Wake into Finnish. I already bought Webster's 
huge dictionary. I still lack a copy of the book itself. And no I haven't read it, not 
a single page.
 
 Hmmm...anyway, its extremly boring read today.
 So slow. How he travelled. So much detail.

It's difficult. Strange phrases, strange words. And translations suck.

Devon,

Between this absolutely witty, silly and gorgeous reply of yours and a reply
from my friend Alex to the "Name the Band" post, to wit:

"Baroque Bob and the Moonlight Sultanas"

I can't stop laughing.  And it's great.
