Landfill Quarterly
Vision Forum member Matthew Rana appears in the latest issue of the beautiful publication Landfill Quarterly. It is a project that chronicles, studies, and redistributes the material byproducts produced by ephemeral artworks. It creates a second venue for projects that largely existed in non-material form, and aims to build a non-linear, cumulative history of social engagement in art. The Quarterly is distributed to subscribers four times a year, so make sure subscribe here. It contains the Journal and selected pieces of material ephemera. As part of the Landfill Archive, supplemental materials become conduits for ideas that continue to circulate. William Stafford has taken some really nice pictures of it at the lab. The publication is initiated by Elyse Mallouk with Ted Purves.

Per Hüttner: Quantum Police at Cartel and The Old Police Station in London
The Quantum Police
Cartel and The Old Police Station
London
Private view and performance Friday 25 November, 6-9pm
London’s Cartel Gallery will host the fourth sequel of The Quantum Police, an ongoing investigation by the artist Per Hüttner and curator Anne Klontz. The Quantum Police exist as an international movement but at the same time their presence in society is shrouded in mystery. Perplexing details of their involvement surface in certain conspiracy theories and their activities have been assumed and never confirmed. In many situations the Quantum Police disguise themselves as the local authority, thus making it more difficult to ascertain which side of the law they stand.
For London’s Cartel Gallery, site specific installations will be created by Hüttner to include sound, sculpture, images and texts. The artist creates works that present the audience with segments of collected Quantum Police evidence, whether in the form of a recorded interview or the forgotten paraphernalia of an undercover crime scene found at The Old Police Station. The works never reveal concise answers to the mystery of the Quantum Police; instead they introduce narratives which highlight the diverse perspectives of the movement.
The exhibition series, The Quantum Police utilizes one concrete piece of evidence which suggests where and when the movement began—The Quantum Law Manifesto, written by two American law students Johnny Ross and Willie Hansen in the late 1960s. From this foundation, numerous sources have been contacted for the project, many of whom play an integral role inspiring the events and works displayed during each exhibition chapter. A live performance inspired by the ambiguity which surrounds the Quantum Police will take place during the opening by Günter Wallraff and Günter Wallraff.
Previously, The Quantum Police has been staged in Stockholm, Sweden (DKTUS); Wuhan, China (Manufactura’s Studio) and Brussels, Belgium (Lambert Gallery). During the opening event in London, a catalogue documenting these international events will be available for purchase.
The exhibition is open until 14 January 2012

Verkstadskväll : Podalida
Verkstad kommer att bjuda på späckad kväll med en konstnärlig livespeling av Wolfgang Peter Menzel och filmvisning av Eric M Nilsson kring myten Podalida.
Podalida är en ö som aldrig existerat.
Denna ö i Atlanten mellan Europa och Nordamerika upptäcktes av två venetianska bröder, Nicolo och Antonio Zeno på 1300-talet under sina resor till de norra delarna av Europa. Bröderna var upptäcktsresande och gjorde den såkallade zeno-kartan, där Podalida för första gången var utritad som en ö. Zeno-kartan kom att ligga till grund för andra kartor flera årtionden fram över trots dess inkorrekta beskrivningar.
Wolfgang Peter Menzel är konstnär och bor i Linköping.
Under våren 1945, dog hans far i en ubåt i Nordatlanten, måltavla för en allierad torped, kanske nära Podalidas kust. I hans konstnärskap rekonstruerar han den imaginära identiteten av Podalida. Just nu ligger hans främsta fokus på ljud och ljudspelningar från Podalida med hans hemsida http://thesoundlogg.com/
På Verkstad denna kväll kommer Wolfgang Peter Menzel sända radio live från Podalida. Förlyssna gärna här: http://thesoundlogg.com/
Efter livespelningen kommer vi att visa Eric M Nilssons film, "Mannen från Podalida" (1998) som handlar om språk och identitet. Om en man vid namn Pierre som talar ett icke existerande språk.
Mer info här.
Hjärtligt välkommen till en spännande kväll i Podalidas tecken!
