  • Announcement Hans Zender Akademie EN
    Call for Applications The International Ensemble Modern Academy is cooperating with the Department of Culture of the City of Meersburg on the 1st Hans Zender Academy | November 13–22, 2021 in Meersburg/Bodensee inviting applications from ➢ Instrumentalists (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello) ➢ Singers (Female Voices) ➢ Composers Hans Zender was not only a creative and ever-thoughtful spirit as a composer and conductor, but an initiator of many projects on different levels: exchange with the coming generations of artists was as important to him as what is known today as “music education”. In addition to his support for young composers, working directly with young instrumentalists was a matter dear to his heart: the Meersburger KonzertGespräche, or Meersburg Concert Conversations, initiated in 2018 with Hans Zender’s involvement, are testament to this. Building upon this initiative, the International Ensemble Modern Academy e.V. (IEMA) is partnering with the City of Meersburg, Hans Zender’s last place of residence, to continue not only the Meersburg Concert Conversations, but add a format culminating in a new international master class to be established there: the Hans Zender Academy. The course is intended for advanced students or professionals at the outset of their careers in instrumental performance, voice/singing and composition. Guided by experienced instructors who are Ensemble Modern members, the singer Salome Kammer and the composer Nikolaus Brass, a broad range of repertoire will be rehearsed, chief among it one of Hans Zender’s main works, “Cabaret Voltaire” (2001/02), which was inspired by dadaism. Further works by Giacinto Scelsi, Paul Hindemith, Nikolaus Brass, Maurice Ravel and Arnold Schoenberg round out a programme which is also devoted to tracing the sonic dimensions of language.

  • Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vi
    Telling Technology Contesting Narratives of Progress in Modernist Literature: Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vincent Hessling Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Vincent Hessling All rights reserved ABSTRACT Telling Technology Contesting Narratives of Progress in Modernist Literature: Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth Vincent Hessling Telling technology explores how modernist literature makes sense of technological change by means of narration. The dissertation consists of three case studies focusing on narrative texts by Robert Walser, Paul Scheerbart, and Joseph Roth. These authors write at a time when a crisis of ‘progress,’ understood as a basic concept of history, coincides with a crisis of narra- tion in the form of anthropocentric, action-based storytelling. Through close readings of their technographic writing, the case studies investigate how the three authors develop alter- native forms of narration so as to tackle the questions posed by the sweeping technological change in their day. Along with a deeper understanding of the individual literary texts, the dissertation establishes a theoretical framework to discuss questions of modern technology and agency through the lens of narrative theory.

  • Press Release
    curator: Lorella Scacco Venice International University San Servolo Isle, Venice June 7 – 9, 2007 The “MOBILE JOURNEY” art project will take place between June 7 and 9, 2007on San Servolo Isle, the location of Venice International University. The project is the result of creative and technological collaboration between visual artists, Vodafone and university researchers. The project is part of the fringe events planned for the Venice Biennale 2007. The “MOBILE JOURNEY” project takes art to new levels of experimentation by enabling the visitor to interact, via their cell phone, with the works of art on display from June 7 to 9, 2007 at Venice International University, located on the fascinating San Servolo Isle. “MOBILE JOURNEY”, an exhibition conceived and curated by Lorella Scacco, is the result of creative and technological collaboration between visual artists, Vodafone and Venice International University researchers. “For several years VIU, under the presidency of Ambassador Umberto Vattani, has launched numerous initiatives involving the figurative arts. The Campus, which is frequented by professors and students of many different nationalities (Italians, Germans, Chinese, Americans, Japanese, Spanish, etc.), has over time become an exhibition space for contemporary art. In addition to the works on permanent display on San Servolo Island, the Campus is also host to artistic and scientific experiments and research that bring the two worlds together. The University’s collaboration with the Venice Biennale has proved particularly productive, and once again this year an initiative put forward by Venice International University has been included in the programme of events.” The project starts from the idea of mobility, which increasingly characterises today’s space-time dimension, bringing together art, technology and the mobile lifestyle.

  • Conference Radius of Art Creative Politicisation of the Public Sphere Cultural Potentials for Social Transformation
    Introduction Conference radius of art Creative politicisation of the public sphere Cultural potentials for social transformation 8th-9th February 2012 Heinrich Böll Foundation, Berlin Conference aim The conference is designed to contribute to the international discussion around the effects art and culture have on social transformation, in particular on demo- cratisation processes and forms of political participation and social empower- ment, political awareness-raising and the forming of public opinion. Finally, we will discuss how the basic structural and financial frameworks governing pro- jects can be re-thought within the framework of the above-mentioned contexts. The conference offers an international dialogue and exchange of ideas and experiences between key actors within the cultural, academic, and political sec- tors. It is our wish to strengthen and expand existing structures and networks, initiate long-term partnerships between German and international organisa- tions, and launch shared learning processes. Another aim is to analyse the basic stipulations set for the realisation of projects in the above-listed fields, to examine the structural frameworks that govern them, and to introduce new concepts for sponsoring and finance structures. In this context it is also important to discuss the widespread expectations around the measurability of the effect of art and cultural projects. Thematic windows The conference will be focussing on the presentation and discussion of pro- jects, basic concepts, and experiences within the field dealing with international art and cultural projects that have immanent relevance for the public sphere, for processes of democratisation, for the discourse surrounding growth and sustainability, and for the development of civil society.
