Anohni: Miracle Now ANOHNI: MIRACLE NOW EN INTRODUKTION TIL UDSTILLINGEN / AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EXHIBITION MAY 24 – AUGUST 5 2018 MIRACLE NOW “Does nature evolve, or does She just change? So much information can now be stored in a tiny space. Scientists have said recently that ancestral trauma changes our genome in detectable ways. I imagine that in the future we shall put a drop of water into a machine and it will reveal to us every moment that its atoms have ever ex- perienced, and every living and inanimate body that it has ever been a part of. When I first staged the play Miracle Now in 1995, my dream was that Nature would remem- ber every one of Her vanished faces, and that this knowledge would somehow inform Her next iteration. This was a hopeful idea to me, in the face of impending eco-col- lapse.” – ANOHNI “Nothing goes unrecorded. Every word of leaf and snowflake and particle of dew, as well as earthquake and avalanche, is writ- ten down in Nature’s book.” – John Muir, 1872 ANOHNI: “Where do we go when we die?” Nola Taylor: “Back to country.” – Conversation with Nola Taylor, Martu elder, Western Australian desert, 2015.

Den dystre tematik i ANOHNIs praksis indeholder dog håb og taler for mere cirkulære og feminine værdier frem- for en hierarkisk tilgang, som man finder det i mange indfødtes natur- og livssyn. ANOHNI har bl.a. ladet sig inspirere af kunstnere som fotografen Peter Hujar, maleren Jack Smith og Butoh-danseren Kazuo Ohno. Udstillingen Miracle Now trækker på en dokumentation af et teater- stykke, som kunstneren opførte for første gang i 1995. ANOHNIs arbejde udspringer af performance, men har også tydelige referencer til automatisme med fremhæ- velsen af det underbevidste og surreale. Ved at følge sin intuition og sanseverden udtrykker ANOHNI presserende og til tider også kontroversielle reaktioner og kom- mentarer til den postindustrielle æra, vi lever i. Billedkunsten er for hende et frirum, hvor hun kan udtrykke sig på en anden måde end i sin musik. Vi får med udstil- lingen indblik i et hudløst ærligt, men også meget generøst og personligt univers, et mikrokosmos, der afspejler en del af det makrokosmos, som vi alle er en del af. THE AGE OF MIRACLES ANOHNI AT NIKOLAJ KUNSTHAL It is a great honour to present the first With this presentation at Nikolaj Kunsthal solo exhibition by ANOHNI in the Nordic we hope to open up to questions and dis- countries at Nikolaj Kunsthal.

The sombre themes in ANOHNI’s artistic practice has a nature of hope and advocates values still upheld by many indigenous communities, nurtur- ing a more circular and feminine, rather than hierarchical, approach. ANOHNI is inspired by, among others, artists such as photographer Peter Hujar, painter Jack Smith and Butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno. The exhibition Miracle Now draws from documentation of a theatre piece first staged by ANOHNI in 1995. ANOHNI’s oeuvre is rooted in performance while also displaying obvious references to automatism with an emphasis on the sub- conscious and the surreal. By following her intuition and the world of her senses, ANOHNI formulates a pressing response and sometimes controversial reactions and comments to the post-industrial era in which we are living. To her, visual art is a space in which she can express her- self in another way than as a singer. This exhibition provides an insight into a raw and naked but also highly generous and personal universe, a microcosm reflecting a part of the macrocosm of which we are all a part.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 41 SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 Welcome to Copper #41! The title isn't to announce a James Taylor retrospective---sorry to crush your hopes--- but is just what I see in today's weather reports. The Pacific Northwest, where I'm bound for a long-delayed vacation, is up in flames, along with many other parts of the tinder-dry US. Meanwhile, back in my former home of Florida...they've already had nearly two feet of rain, and Hurricane Irma is not even close to the state yet. Stay safe, everyone. I'm really pleased and excited to have Jason Victor Serinus back with us, with the first part of an intensive introduction to art song. Jason brings tremendous knowledge of the field, and provides plenty of recorded examples to listen to, and in the case of videos, watch. There are many stunning performances here, and I hope you enjoy this extraordinary resource. We'll have Part 2 in Copper #42. Dan Schwartz is again in the lead-off spot with the second in his series of articles on encounters–this one, with Phil Lesh and crew; Seth Godin tells us how control is overrated; Richard Murison hears a symphony; Duncan Taylor takes us to Take 1; Roy Hall tells about a close encounter of the art kind; Anne E. Johnson introduces indie artist Anohni; and I worry about audio shows (AGAIN, Leebs??), and conclude my look at Bang & Olufsen. Industry News tells of the sale of audiophile favorite, Conrad-Johnson; Gautam Raja is back with an amazing story that I think you'll really enjoy, all about Carnatic music, overlooked heritage, and the universal appeal of rock music; and Jim Smith takes another warped look at LPs.

Incorporating a series of immersive, sense-shifting moments, the show promises to be the transgender artist’s most ambitious and personal yet. Due to the expected high demand, tickets to Anohni’s Sydney-exclusive Vivid LIVE concerts on 27, 28, 30 and 31 May 2016 will be allocated by ballot. Following sold-out ballots for Morrissey (2015) and Kraftwerk 's 3D Catalogue retrospective (2013), Anohni ’s four Sydney-only Vivid LIVE performances will feature her fifth album and solo debut as Anohni , ‘Hopelessness’ , which raises the dramatic power of Antony and the Johnsons to new electronic heights. American electronic artist and producer Oneohtrix Point Never (who, along with Hudson Mohawke, collaborated on the new album) and Gaël Rakotondrabe (pianist from Antony and the Johnsons) will join Anohni on the Joan Sutherland Theatre stage in this exclusive Australian premiere. The shows also mark Anohni ’s return to the city that has embraced her from the start, from her 2003 visits supporting Lou Reed and 2005 Opera House performances (when the singer stole the all- star Leonard Cohen tribute show, Came So Far For Beauty ) to 2010’s memorable Antony and the Johnsons Concert Hall appearance.

  • Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer-Mediated Communication… 103
    Studies in Polish Linguistics vol. 14, 2019, issue 3, pp. 101–123 doi:10.4467/23005920SPL.19.016.11081 www.ejournals.eu/SPL https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3481-1421 Jagiellonian University Magdalena Derecka Manifestations of Transphobia in Computer- Mediated Communication. A Case Study of Language Discrimination in English and Polish Internet-Mediated Discourse Abstract This article aims to investigate the linguistic means of transphobic discrimination observed on the Internet. The languages analysed are English and Polish, since they both offer their speakers direct and indirect ways that discrimination manifests itself, yet Polish seems to enable a more noticeable means because of the presence of grammatical gender in the lan- guage. The paper discusses twelve samples of Computer-Mediated Communication, using the methodological tools offered by Critical Discourse Analysis and Queer Theory. Based on the analysis of the samples, the article shows that even though transphobia lies mainly in lexical choices of the speaker, it is not always direct, i.e. visible in insults and attacks on a trans person, but is oftentimes indirect, i.e. visible in the incorrect use of personal pro- nouns in both English and Polish, or in the incorrect use of grammatical gender in Polish. Moreover, while transphobia visible in language is not always intended by the speaker, it can still be considered to be discriminatory. Keywords computer-mediated communication, discriminatory language, grammatical gender, social media, transphobia, transphobic language Streszczenie Artykuł ma na celu zbadanie środków językowych używanych w języku transfobicznym zaobserwowanym w internecie.

  • ANOHNI Miracle Now Pressemeddelelse
    Miracle Now 24. maj åbner Nikolaj Kunsthal udstillingen Miracle Now af den britisk-amerikanske kunstner og musiker ANOHNI. Værker på papir, malerier og skulpturer bliver ledsaget af en 9-kanals videoinstallation og skrøbelige dokumenter fra ANOHNIs arkiv. ANOHNI opnåede først international anerkendelse med sit band Antony and the Johnsons, som opstod ud af after-hours performance-scenen i 1990ernes New York. ANOHNIs videoinstallation er en udforskning af billede, lyd og tekst baseret på hendes stykke fra 1995 Miracle Now og får sin premiere i Nikolaj Kunsthals Nedre Galleri. I Øvre Galleri fremvises et bredt udvalg af ANOHNIs værker, som viser hendes sans for materialernes taktile egenskaber: collager lavet af fundne objekter og hentet fra forskellige samlinger, fotografier, skulpturelle værker i den store skala og voksmalerier. Hendes animistiske drømmerier udtrykker følelser, en bevidsthed om medskyld og en længsel efter forandring stillet over for det menneskeskabte økologiske selvmord. “Udvikler naturen sig, eller forandrer hun sig bare? Der kan nu lagres så store mængder informationer på så lidt plads. Videnskabsfolk har for nylig sagt, at traumer, som har ramt vores forfædre, ændrer vores genom på påviselige måder. Jeg forestiller mig, at man i fremtiden kan anbringe en vanddråbe i en maskine og få alt at vide om hvert et øjeblik, dens atomer har gennemlevet og alle de levende og ikke-levende organismer, den nogensinde har været en del af. Da mit stykke Miracle Now først blev opført i 1995, var min største drøm, at Naturen ville kunne fastholde en viden om alt, hun nogensinde havde været. Det rummede et fundament af håb for mig, ansigt til ansigt med det økologiske sammenbrud”.

  • Press Release
    ! Artist: Hercules & Love Affair Title: The Change EP Label: Skint Records / BMG EP Release: November 1st 2019 Single Release: October 11th 2019 Cat #: SKINT411 Format: Digital After over ten years of Hercules and Love Affair, Andy Butler offers three reimagined versions of classic Hercules tunes and a piece of new music on “The Change EP”. Produced with current partner in crime Alec Storey (aka Second Storey), the two have been touring the Hercules catalog with an approach that incorporates a proper dose of techno while duly engaging Storey’s penchant for breaks and intricate percussion work. Butler decided to put a few of these reworks out for DJS and dancefloors, offering the chance for these great Hercules moments to shine once again. “I have always wanted to play out particular songs from my catalog in my sets more like “Raise Me Up” from the first LP or “Are You Still Certain?” from Omnion and I figured here is my chance to spin them out and get them into my sets again .” The new song entitled “Change” for which the EP is titled after is a bass-heavy, gritty number that is a darker offering than much of what Hercules and Love Affair is perhaps known for. That said, change has always been more than evident in the story of Hercules and Love Affair. Initially conceived during the making of Hercules’s last album Omnion, the biting lyrics speak to the inevitability of change and some people’s resistance to it. “Change is really a double edged sword- while some doors open, some doors close.
