Carey, Eoin Photo by 2 / ANNUAL REPORT 2015 INTRODUCTION With this annual report Sonic Acts presents the results from 2015 – an intense and fruitful year for Sonic Acts, packed with activities both in the Netherlands and abroad. The activities in the first few months were largely dominated by the theme of the “Sonic Acts has been a rich biannual Sonic Acts festival edition The Geologic Imagination. This edition was very well source for intense reflection attended, with an international four-day conference, plenty of performances and concerts, workshops and masterclasses, and multiple presentations of newly commissioned works and extreme experiences. that were often connected to our Dark Ecology programme or realised in collaboration During its most recent with international partners. The topical programme featured many internationally acclaimed artists and theorists, who reflected on the challenges of the Anthropocene. editions, Sonic Acts has increased the scientific Throughout the year we also worked on our international research and commissioning programme Dark Ecology. The interest shown by international artists, curators and input and reinforced art’s theorists in participating in the (second) research journey in November 2015 was connections to society.” overwhelming. The programme in Kirkenes, Nikel and Murmansk featured a series of commissioned works, lectures, presentations and conceptual tours. – Rutger Wolfson, former director IFFR, 2015 We also organised a multitude of workshops, masterclasses and presentations throughout 2015 that contributed to the talent development of artists, makers, designers, writers and other cultural professionals. Successful collaborations include the masterclass by Graham Harman at BAK Utrecht, and the Critical Writing Workshop in collaboration with The Wire and Gonzo (Circus), which took place concurrent with the festival. The international distribution of our Vertical Cinema programme, which was initiated in 2013, continued with sold-out and critically acclaimed presentations at SXSW (US), Melbourne International Film Festival (AU), Glasgow Short Film Festival (UK), Baltā Nakts Riga (LV), and the STRP Biennial in the Netherlands. In many cases the programme was accompanied by lectures, masterclasses or workshops. In addition to this we also distributed other commissioned works internationally. Our international activities were reinforced by new collaborations with international cultural partners, among others through the European Commission funded collaborative project Changing Weathers, which aims to respond to Europe’s changing cultural landscape. The book The Geologic Imagination, which was published at the beginning of 2015, sold out quickly. Throughout the year we published many more dossiers online through our digital Research Series, consisting of interviews, essays, videos and other research- related materials. Judging from the interest, the enthusiasm and the engagement of the involved artists, participants, theorists, scientists, the audience, as well as journalists and the media attention, it seems we have struck very fertile ground with the themes ‘The Geologic Imagination’ and ‘Dark Ecology’. Sonic Acts also used 2015 to further professionalise on an organisational level, and to progress as a platform for research, commissioning, talent development and the curation of events at the intersections of art, science and technology, with a strong focus on some of the most urgent topics of our time. 3 / ANNUAL REPORT 2015 1. SONIC ACTS ACTIVITIES IN 2015 Sonic Acts aims to cover the entire cultural spectrum with its activities: from artistic and theoretical research, experimentation and talent development to production, and from presentation, the organisation of festivals and programmes and (international) distribution to critical reflection.Research activities include essential research, international exploration and residencies. Talent development and educational activities consist of masterclasses, workshops and symposiums in addition to lectures and presentations. Sonic Acts’ producing activities are aimed at realising new works of art, often through “The line-up at this year’s residencies, by young talents as well as renowned artists and often in co-production Sonic Acts is almost too good with partners from Amsterdam and (inter)national partners. Public activities comprise a Festival and an Academy, alternating biannually, where research and new works are to be true” presented. Through the small-scale series of programmes, local and international talents - Joseph Grima, Architect, writer and are presented together with established names. Printed and online publications offer reflection and deepening, and, through its international network, Sonic Acts exports and curator, 2015 distributes new works and projects abroad. 1.1 SONIC ACTS FESTIVAL: THE GEOLOGIC IMAGINATION 26 February – 1 March, Amsterdam In 2015, the sixteenth edition of the Sonic Acts Festival, The Geologic Imagination, took place in Amsterdam from Thursday 26 February, to Sunday 1 March (with an extended programme from 23 February to 12 March). Inspired by geoscience, The Geologic Imagination programme focused on Planet Earth. The fundamental basis for this was the hypothesis that we are living in the Anthropocene, a new geological epoch in which humankind has become a geological force. This edition was a great success, and attracted almost 9.300 visitors. The programme consisted of performances, installations, lectures, presentations, film screenings, master classes, workshops, commissions and a book. The large number of enthusiastic reactions from speakers, artists, public and press stress Espen Sommer Eide, A Tuned Chord is like the relevance of the festival’s theme. The festival also drew extensive media attention a Scientific Instrument Probing the Universe, before, during and after it took place, in print as well as online. A substantial part of the opening Sonic Acts Festival The Geologic programme consisted of premieres and works commissioned by Sonic Acts. Imagination, 26 February 2015, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.

For this edition the daytime conference was held in Paradiso instead of de Balie (our previous conference venue) because of its larger capacity. The evening programme was at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, OT301, Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, Paradiso and the Vondelkerk; the masterclasses were held in the Stedelijk Museum, Rijksakademie, A-Lab/Kulter and BAK in Utrecht (in cooperation with the exhibition The Anthropocene Observatory).

    BIS!/ Adviezen!/ Podiumkunsten!/ Productiehuizen / Paradiso Melkweg Productiehuis Paradiso Melkweg Productiehuis ! 0 geadviseerd subsidiebedrag Stichting Paradiso Melkweg Productiehuis (hierna: Paradiso Melkweg Productiehuis) is een productiehuis in Amsterdam ‘waar getalenteerde muzikanten, makers en kunstenaars de ! 175.000 ruimte krijgen hun artistieke handtekening (verder) te ontwikkelen door het produceren van gevraagd innovatief, genre-overstijgend aanbod voor het pop- en festivalcircuit’. Het kerndoel is de subsidiebedrag ontwikkeling van talent; als nevendoelstelling formuleert Paradiso Melkweg!Productiehuis genre- en conceptontwikkeling. De voorstellingen worden gespeeld op podia en festivals, De aanvraag is gebaseerd passend bij de maat en schaal van de productie. Paradiso Melkweg!Productiehuis verzorgt op artikel 3.11 van de maatwerk met betrekking tot het artistieke proces, het eindproduct, de speelplekken, het Subsidieregeling culturele basisinfrastructuur publiek en de financieringsmiddelen. 2017 – 2020. Subsidieadvies De Raad voor Cultuur adviseert Stichting Paradiso Melkweg Productiehuis geen subsidie toe te kennen. De raad vindt dat Paradiso Melkweg!Productiehuis een goede manier heeft gevonden om autonome artiesten vlieguren te laten maken. De afgelopen jaren werd een aantal aansprekende bands en musici begeleid, voor een groter publiek dan werd beoogd. De raad meent echter dat de artistieke focus van Paradiso Melkweg Productiehuis, met zijn nadruk op (pop)muziek, te smal is voor een plek in de basisinfrastructuur. Enkele elementen in de aanvraag, zoals de op te richten redactieraad, vindt hij onvoldoende uitgewerkt. Ook vindt hij de output van Paradiso Melkweg!Productiehuis te klein voor een productiehuis in de basisinfrastructuur. In het netwerk van Paradiso bevinden zich voornamelijk presentatieplekken en op het gebied van educatie en participatie ontplooit Paradiso Melkweg!Productiehuis geen activiteiten.

All Pages In Urban Europe, urban researchers and practitioners based in Amsterdam tell the story of the European city, sharing their knowledge – Europe Urban of and insights into urban dynamics in short, thought- provoking pieces. Their essays were collected on the occasion of the adoption of the Pact of Amsterdam with an Urban Agenda for the European Union during the Urban Europe Dutch Presidency of the Council in 2016. The fifty essays gathered in this volume present perspectives from diverse academic disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences. Fifty Tales of the City The authors — including the Mayor of Amsterdam, urban activists, civil servants and academic observers — cover a wide range of topical issues, inviting and encouraging us to rethink citizenship, connectivity, innovation, sustainability and representation as well as the role of cities in administrative and political networks. With the Urban Agenda for the European Union, EU Member States of the city Fifty tales have acknowledged the potential of cities to address the societal challenges of the 21st century. This is part of a larger, global trend. These are all good reasons to learn more about urban dynamics and to understand the challenges that cities have faced in the past and that they currently face. Often but not necessarily taking Amsterdam as an example, the essays in this volume will help you grasp the complexity of urban Europe and identify the challenges your own city is confronting. Virginie Mamadouh is associate professor of Political and Cultural Geography in the Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam.

  • Def Americans
    Def Americans Def Americans is a musical tribute to the Man in Black, Johnny Cash and is named after Johnny's last recording label Def Jam records/American Recordings. This band is all about delivering the songs exactly the way they were meant to. It's the same boom-chicka-boom sound that goes so well with Johnny's voice and that is immediately recognised around the world, even before Johnny starts singing. Definite highlight of the show, just as it was in real life, is the charming Kim Carter taking the stage and joining the group for some of the finest Johnny and June duets. No matter how stern, erratic and dark Cash would get onstage in his songs, June was always there to light up the show! Sadly, both Johnny and June passed on a few years ago but Def Americans carry on their unique legacy. The Man in Black, his life and his music live on through the Def Americans. Convincing performances at festivals such as Paaspop, Moulin Blues, Solar, Speedfest, Dauwpop en Festyland. Club shows in Paradiso Amsterdam, Effenaar Eindhoven, Paard van Troje Den Haag, 013 Tilburg and W2 Den Bosch.

  • And Erik Alkema
    Bildetage presents videos by Avi Krispin and Erik Alkema Bildetage selected the videos of Avi Krispin (IL/NL) and Erik Alkema (NL), whose works reflect on different kinds of possible usage of the medium for the artistic practice. Avi Krispin is always working on a high technical level, many of her works involve several actors, complex lighting and sophisticated recording facilities. Erik approaches video more as a sculptor or a painter. He uses the screen as a frame and a canvas. An extra dimension to expand and to stage the sculptural worlds he creates in his personal and unique textile imagery. Despite a certain sense of humour, what many of the works have in common is a conceptual approach as well as the strategy of expression by assuming a role.

    SONIC ACTS Academy 2018 Unpacking the Processes of Artistic Knowledge Sonic Acts Academy is a new plat- form for investigation, speculation, and reflection, focusing on educational practices and the critical examination of knowledge production in the field of art. By expanding artistic experience into an academy of engagement and exchange, we wish to offer both a play- ground and a radical syllabus at odds with institutionalised learning. The temporary and unstable configu- rations that make up our world today ask for new and flexible approaches to making, learning, and thinking. While education is a breeding ground for an economy of knowledge-as-com- modity, it is essential to re-examine how forms of learning can take place when unrestricted by measurable outcomes or predetermined expec- tations. Nora Sternfeld, agreeing with Irit Rogoff’s text 'Turning', addresses the role of education today: ‘education SONIC ACTS Academy 1 is not about handing down existing national and bourgeois values, as Tony Bennett would have it, nor about the mere reproduction of knowledge, but about exploring the possibilities of an alternative production of knowledge that resists, supplements, thwarts, undercuts, or challenges traditional forms of knowledge.’ 1 As the world becomes more radical and unequal, the need for change in the field of education takes on increas- ing urgency. For new models and ideas, we are turning to a community of art- ists, teachers, mentors, thinkers, and tinkerers. By inviting artistic investiga- Bouffant. Blackie by Photo Walshe.
