THE DREAMACHINE ISSUE is a flickering rite of spring.

Tune into our massive Dreamachine installation and ride your own psychic abilities beaming out there. We will kick off the evening indulging in a fine mix of film workings related to the subject. From the legendary Dreamachine foundations of Brion Gysin & Ian Sommerville and into the futures of here and now.

As if this wasn't enough, we'll mix over and let loose a little stir up of Xclusif live and breathing performances, sounds and visions. The forever return of the mighty mighty Pop Corn Altar, good food and drinks! All laced and cut up in the spirit and third mind of Brion Gysin and William S. Burroughs.

Sub- or Occultivists, Psychic Warriors, Queers, Pirates, Shape Shifters, Lovers and Light Bringers. Welcome!

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Magick calls itself the Other method.

What happens when first world art rubs up against third world art? Does it bleed?

The Grand Rue Sculptors are a community of artists living in a down town popular neighbourhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In December 2009 the 'Sculptors of Grand Rue' hosted the 1st Ghetto Biennale 2009. Over forty artists, film-makers, academics, photographers, musicians, architects and writers came to the Grand Rue area of Port-Au-Prince to make or witness work, that was shown or happened in the neighbourhood.

The 2nd Ghetto Biennale 2011 will take place from the end of November until the middle of December 2011. All works must be made and exhibited in Haiti. Artists will be invited to pass one to three weeks in Haiti before presenting their work in the neighbourhood to an audience of local people, Port au Prince neighbourhood communities, arts collectives and arts organisations. The 2nd Ghetto Biennale will be co-curated by Andre Eugene, Celeur Jean Herard and Leah Gordon.

BLOT presenterar på PARABOLA ART FILM FEST
Parabola är en helt ny festival för konstfilm och performance som i samarbete med bland andra Moderna Museet fångar upp verk från hela världen. Ett urval av det bästa från samtidens konstfilmsscen som rymmer såväl det abstrakta som det politiska. Med utgångspunkt det som händer för tio år sedan, 11 september 2001, presenteras en serie verk som utforskar vad terrorn och den efterföljande paranoisa gör med den nutida människan. Festivalen hålls i Tenstas nya kulturhus Tensta träff den 3 september 2011, under Tensta marknad och festen efter Ramadan. Eid El Fitr.

bortom 4e världen VODOU 16 april - 21 aug 2011 Utställningskurator och program: BLOT Utställningen Vodou speglar en specifik samtida kultur som del av en större social, geografisk och politisk helhet. Utställningen tangerar erfarenheter och frågeställningar som rör etnicitet, kolonialitet, sociologi och etik. Den väcker också frågor och behov som berör andlighet, ritual, aktivism och estetik bortom en 1a, 2a, 3e och 4e värld. Där uppstår XISM i teori och praktik. XISM är ett poetiskt konstprogram som löper parallellt med utställningen Vodou på Etnografiska museet under våren och sommaren 2011. I anslutning och förhållande till utställningen skapas ytterligare en dimension genom ett möte mellan svenska och haitiska konstnärer, musiker, forskare, teoretiker och aktivister. Konstprogrammet XISM syftar till diskussion och praktik i relation till heliga objekt i en sekulär ram. Vad gör konsten med etnografin och religionen? Vad är konst i en så kallad postsekulär kultur? Vad gör etnografin och konsten med oss i ett sådant ramverk? Hur praktiseras etnografi, konst och religion? Vilken roll spelar det oändligt komplexa Haiti och den haitiska vodoun i den ekvationen?

MINIMARKET 2006
3-5 February, Konstnärshuset, Stockholm, Sweden. Minimarket is the 1st edition of Supermarket, an international Art Fair for artists-run-project-spaces. Blot creates an installation and event named ALTER. Exhibitors and organisations:

ak28 och BLOT presenterar LANDFALL OPENING 2/12 2005 ak28: 17.00-21.00, Blot: GRAND OPENING!! 19.00-22.00 OPEN HOURS: 3/12-18/12 Thur-Sun 12.00-18.00 In Landfall we have the honour of proudly presenting a group exhibit with five interesting artists ordinarily based in Glasgow. The exhibit is curated by artist Joyce Ip and is a collaboration between ak28 and the recently opened project room, Blot. The term landfall pertains to the arrival at, or first sighting of, land during a voyage, as well as the critical point where the eye of the storm first crosses a land mass. In this exhibit, the five artists contribute individual works, which embodies such critical phase in momentum between the unknown and the known. The exhibit will take place in two simultaneous locations: the space of ak28 at Krukmakargatan 28 and at Blot, where the opening of the exhibit coincides with the inauguration of the gallery space/project room at Ynglingagatan 27 in Stockholm. For further information, please contact:
Joyce Ip, curator and Blot
Henrik Eriksson, exibition producer at ak28
