We are open to the public, except during installation, Wednesday through Saturday, from 11:00am to 6:00pm. Exhibitions and events, unless noted otherwise, are free to the public. For more information, call Aaron Levy at 215.222.9050 or visit us on the web at http://slought.org/calendar/ Public Override Void Software and installation by Jim Carpenter. Curated by Aaron Levy and Jean-Michel Rabaté. For more information: http://slought.org/content/11207/ Opens Saturday, April 17, 2004; 6:30-8:00pm | Free Reception and Public Conversation: Thursday, April 29, 2004; 6:30-8:00pm | Free Slought Foundation presents Public override void, a vault installation featuring Jim Carpenter's Electronic Text Composition (ETC) project, on display from April 17-May 20, 2004. The opening reception on Thursday April 29, 2004 from 6:30-8:30pm has been organized in conjunction with a live presentation by Carpenter and a public conversation between Bob Perelman, Nick Montfort, and Jean-Michel Rabaté (50 min). The installation includes self-service poetry stations and wall panels of code, and takes its name (Public override void) from an actual string of code embedded in the software program. Information on the public conversation is available: http://slought.org/content/11199/ The Electronic Text Composition Project's Poetry Engine is a suite of software components that allow a user to generate aesthetic texts. Drawing word associations from its language database, the Engine's grammar uses a probability-based approach to constructing syntactic constituents, which it aggregates into utterances, which it in turn aggregates into compositions. The project postulates that the construction of its texts does not actually occur within the software-these constructions, absent authorial intent and divorced from any underlying message, assume their status as poems only as they are read. The process of textual construction is firmly situated within the reader, not the software. Over the last year a dozen poems composed with the Poetry Engine's aid and submitted under the pen name Erica T. Carter have been accepted for publication in a number of little magazines and literary journals. As evidence of the project's success (or perhaps indicative of its failure), one editor accepted a poem with the comment, I found your works intriguing, but have to admit I couldn't wrest the meaning from them. Framing (Haacke's Condensation Cube) For more information: http://slought.org/content/11208/ Opens Saturday, April 17, 2004; 6:30-8:00pm | Free Slought Foundation presents Framing (Haacke's Condensation Cube), a vault installation organized by Aaron Levy featuring Hans Haacke's Condensation Cube of 1963-65, on display from April 17-May 20, 2004. This installation inaugurates a new series at Slought Foundation showcasing notable conceptual practices that invite a reconsideration of the effect framing has on critical interpretations. An essay on Haacke written in the 1980s by curator and critic Edward Fry (d. 1992) is also available: http://slought.org/content/21085/ In his early work, artist Hans Haacke was concerned with systems and processes. His Condensation Cube of 1963-65 [Clear acrylic, water, light, air currents, temperature, climate in exhibition situation; 30 x 30 x 30 cm; Collection of Edward Fry and Sandra Ericson] demonstrates the dependency of a relatively closed system on the environment in which it is situated: changes in temperature lead to the evaporation of water and its condensation on sidewalls of the cube. Haacke's condensation cube is a pedagogical tool still pertinent to understanding conceptual art and contemporary life. Questions to consider include: how does one frame or contextualize a work such as the condensation cube? What are its contents? To what degree is the cube a screen on which we can project our interpretations? Can this box be understood as a storage device, and if so, what is it storing?

"In spite of their names reminiscent of Greek shepherds (Polystyrene, Phenoplast, Polyvinyl, Polyethylene) plastic ... is basically an alchemical substance More than any substance, plastic embodies the idea of its own infinite transformability; as its common name indicates it is ubiquity made tangible. On the other hand it is a miraculous substance as well: a miracle represents a sudden unexpected change in nature. Plastic is imbued with this shock. It is the trace of a movement rather than an object The hierarchy of substances is hereby abolished; a single substance can stand in for them all. The whole world can be plastified, and life too..." -Roland Barthes 1957

FLUXLIST: The Broken Pencil Fall Tour
Hello all, My friends at Broken Pencil Magazine are heading out on a promotional tour and Wegway Magazine will be there. It's our latest issue, hot off the press. The BP announcement follows below. If you are not interested in occasional mailings from Wegway, please reply with "remove" in the subject and I'll take your address off this list. Thank you. Steve Armstrong Publisher Wegway Primary Culture www.wegway.com - Original Message - From: "Broken Pencil Subs" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Undisclosed-Recipient:; Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 7:51 PM Subject: Broken Pencil Magazine's Broken Tour - Coming to a City Near You **Please forward to your zine and independent art loving friends!** The Broken Pencil Fall Tour, 2003 What? Broken Pencil is on the road! The magazine of zine culture and the independent arts has been chronicling indie activity in Canada since 1995. We will be reading from our own creative works as well as reading highlights from the magazine, showcasing zine culture through our travelling zine library, and inviting indie creators from the local community to present their work. Why? In order to spread the word of indie culture and continue to attract readers, writers and interest in the mag. Broken Pencil is an essential cultural resource, but in an age of corporate media it is often difficult to find! We want to connect with new communities, meet creators, and generally get out there! Who? Broken Pencil is run by a network of creator-writers across the country. However, since we can't take everyone with us, we've settled on three people to represent the mag on the tour. They are: Emily Schultz, editor of Broken Pencil. Emily took on the job of editing BP roughly a year ago. Emily runs the ultra-cool Pocket Cannon series of anonymously written chapbooks. She is a freelance writer, and her first collection of short stories is Black Coffee Night (Insomniac Press), an acclaimed work that explores coming of age in an era of sexual confusion and conflicting agendas. Marc Ngui, graphic novelist, regular contributor to BP. From Windsor (though now living in TO) Marc's bold new graphic novel Enter Avariz, published by Montreal's Conundrum Press, explores this up and coming talent's growing dread of the monoculture. Bold, outrageous and compelling, Ngui presents a parallel world that looks a little too much like our own. He will be showcasing his work with the help of slides during the tour. Hal Niedzviecki, publisher of Broken Pencil. Founder and former editor of BP, Niedzviecki is a well known critic, media philosopher and fiction writer. An excellent reader and performer, he'll be doing a bit of everything on the tour, exploring ideas presented in his books We Want Some Too: Underground Desire and the Reinvention of Mass Culture, and his novel Ditch. How? With a Little Help From Our Friends! This Tour is Sponsored by the Good People of Brave New Waves, CBC Radio 2. Also, each city has at least one bookstore sponsor. Visit these stores to buy the new Fall issue of Broken Pencil and check out the books by the touring authors. Where? All events are FREE and open to all!

PUPPET UPRISING
Peter Schumann's Bread Puppet Theatre
Puppet theatre, Peter Schumann says,

Puppet theatre, Peter Schumann, says is anarchic and
untameable by nature. Its materials are cheap - paper,
rags, and wood scraps. Its history is subversive. Its stage
is the street. Schumann has created a prophetic, political
and religious theatre for our time. David Cayley relates the
history of the Bread and Puppet Theatre and the ideas on
which it is based.
In New York City, in the early 1960's a new theatre was born
- the Bread and Puppet Theatre - named for the coarse,
flavourful sourdough bread that was given out at its
performances, and for the grave, evocative puppet figures
that were the theatre's main performers. The theatre was
created by Peter Schumann, a German born dancer, musician,
and sculptor who found in puppet theatre a way of blending
all these arts into a form uniquely his own. Schumann's art
is deeply political, but he has also won artistic acclaim
for the sculptural genius of his puppets and for the solemn
theatrical ceremonies he has created with them. His style is
often called Expressionist for its rough, vigorous,
suggestive qualities. In France in 1968 his work was so much
à la mode that students pounded on the doors of sold-out
theatres until they were allowed in. But, despite this
glowing artistic reputation, Schumann has always stayed
close to puppetry's popular roots. He has kept his theatre
poor, anarchic and non-commercial and poured his talents
into the restoration of popular forms like pageants, parades
and passion plays.
During the 60's in New York, Bread and Puppet took their
theatre to the streets, creating outdoor shows, giving
expression to neighborhood issues and taking part in peace
parades. But the company also performed in indoor settings,
and, in 1966, created a sensation with a show called Fire, a
slow, prayerful, dreamlike choreography for masked
performers which honoured three Americans who had immolated
themselves in protest against the Vietnam War. When French
theatre promoter Christian Dupavillon saw Fire, he invited
the company to the World Theatre Festival in the French city
of Nancy in 1968. The newspaper, Le Monde, called Bread and
Puppet's performance a revelation, and, during the next
few years, the company experienced a period of rock star
celebrity in Western Europe. The experience was somewhat
disorienting for a poor, anarchist theatre used to
performing in a loft above a gypsy club under the
Williamsburg Bridge, but it led to a number of successful
European tours during which the company made friends and
converts to their style of puppetry. Notable shows of this
period included The Cry of the People for Meat and That
Simple Light May Come From Complicated Darkness.
In 1970 Peter Schumann and his family left New York to
become the theatre in residence at Goddard College in
Plainfield, Vermont. This led to the creation of our
Domestic Resurrection Circus, an annual event that would
eventually become one of the most extraordinary cultural
happenings of our time. Schumann envisioned a rebirth of the
tradition of popular carnivals and festivals that, with the
exception of a few commercialized relics, has died out in
the modern world. The circus was a puppet pageant, set in
the magnificent landscape of northern Vermont, which adapted
the Paradise/Fall/Resurrection structure of old religious
plays to a contemporary political setting. People were
enthralled and the circus eventually attracted 30,000-40,000
people each summer. These numbers eventually proved
overwhelming, and when someone was accidentally killed in a
fight in one of the campgrounds, the circus was
discontinued, a victim of its own success.
The Bread and Puppet Theatre has toured all over the world,
often on a shoestring, and, wherever they have gone, they
have seeded a vision of puppetry as the theatre for our
time
