SIC - Friday 1st @ 19.30 and Saturday 2nd @ 15.30 & 19.30
The play takes place in the doorways and shared hallway of three neighboring apartments. Theo -the amusement park music composer,Babette - the ever broke writer and Frank - the queer, aspiring auctioneer trudge through the biting emptiness of big city life. They discuss,flirt, argue, share their dreams and plan their future with deep hopefulness and abject despair. A bittersweet comedy of mistakes, regrets &opportunities missed unfolds as three lives collide in one common corridor.
3D Print Party | Fabian Hesse - Friday 8th & Saturday 9th from 16.00 to 22.30
German visual artist Fabian Hesse, Goethe bangaloREsident@Jaaga, one of our 9 bangaloREsidents currently in the City, invites you to a party of a different kind!
Watch as Fabian puts together a 3D printer so you can DIY later.
Plus, send him your favourite artistic/conceptual image/idea as a file and cross your fingers that he selects it to print, right in front of your eyes!
Deadline for 3D print suggestions to fabianhesse@yahoo.de: November 6, 2013
Fabian Hesse is interested in exploring the usage of public space in creating works of art. He began his Residency in Bangalore with an open mind - without a precise idea or plan, merely observing and experiencing cultural exchange. His reaction, response and involvement have resulted in workshops and artistic works.
He is also very interested in internet-related questions including the fundamental changes occurring through information technology and digitalisation. One of the ways he engages with the process of digitalisation is through 3-D printing, using open source soft and hardware.

Pecha Kucha Night - Tuesday 22nd @ 19.00
Jaaga, our partner in the bangaloREsidency Project, is proud to announce a very special Pecha Kucha. Six German bangaloREsidents, each of whom has been exploring the local essence of living and creating in India, through varying media, from art, sculpture, design and music, to 3D printing, documentary theatre and film, will be sharing their work.
Pecha Kucha is a presentation style in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (six minutes and 40 seconds in total). The format, which keeps presentations concise and fast-paced, powers multiple-speaker events called PechaKucha Nights (PKNs)
Fabian Hesse is a Visual Artist and artist-in-residence at Jaaga. He is interested in exploring the usage of public space in creating works of art. He prefers to begin his residency in bangalore with an open mind - without a precise idea or plan, merely observing and experiencing cultural exchange and let his reaction, response and involvement produce an artistic work. He is also very interested in internet-related questions including the fundamental changes occurring through information technology and digitalisation.
One of the ways he engages with the process of digitalisation is through 3-D printing using open source software and hardware and this Residency will be a great opportunity for him to develop and share his expertise in this field, identifying avenues for its use here.

Alfons Knogl is a Sculptor and Musician and artist-in-Residence @ 1 Shanthi Road. He is deeply interested in the context and connection of sculpture, furniture, interior design and music as forms of culture. Using the references and meanings of materials like stone and concrete, he builds forms such as tables and expressions of music which can be autonomous on the one hand and socially related on the other. His interest in the bangaloREsidency stems from a residency in Istanbul where he first began to use non-western cultural codices in his sculpture and music. The residency at 1 Shanthi Road, Bangalore affords him an excellent opportunity to be influenced and inspired by a wider variety of these.
Anna Marziano is a filmmaker and she intends to examine the issues that concern the construction of contemporary identity, through a film process which questions subjectivity, social roles, multiple singularities and hidden nuances of individual and social bodies. Experimenting with the documentary form, the structure of her films involves gathering fragments of reality (sounds, conversations, images) and transforming them into composition, action and relation. Her projects are often process-based and reveal a participative character, i.e. she proposes public gestures such as readings or questions that may activate social spaces in urban communities.
In Bangalore, she plans to share her experiences, considerations and references with students and artists, over lectures, workshops and gatherings. Another reason for her deep interest in this residency is the preparation of her new project, an essay-film in which archive materials expand/question/support a net of written texts and voice-recordings focusing on the cultural idea of love and family. This open meditation will move through different countries – India, Germany, Italy, France – and through different possibilities and difficulties of composing desire and reality, freedom and responsibility, the one and the many.

Dijana Zoradana Elfadivo, a fashion designer and collage artist, supports the Yuva Chintana Foundation by creating a connection and dialogue with the children about their cultural textile identity. Together, she and the children will research and sketch a textile identity and journey by building informative and creative collage art on or around the body using textiles, costumes, vintage cloth, natural elements, urban elements and traditional symbols and accessories.
People from the textile industry will be invited to share their experiences as part and spirit of the project. With the help of the teachers from the foundation Dijana will give the children an insight into the tradition of Indian textiles and its contemporary variants. At the end of the Residency, the results of the project will be displayed in an exhibition. Dijana would also like to design a pictorial representation of the project and exhibit it in Berlin.

Kai Tuchmann is a German director, dramaturge/producer and theatre scholar. He has directed at several influential German theatres, such as the Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin and the Deutsches Nationaltheater Weimar. Recently he was Head Dramaturge of the Mainfrankentheater Würzburg and a Visiting Scholar at the Graduate Centre of the City University of New York. Since 2007, he is in the field of intercultural theatre collaborations in general and specifically in the scope of community development theatre, e.g. in Iraq, Sudan and Palestine. His artistic and academic focus lies on documentarism and its contribution to an alternative historiography.
Angelique Doludag has worked in different areas of social work, e. g. with commercial sex workers and victims of human trafficking from West Africa and in Kenya on various community development projects. In Morocco she worked in the field of so-called irregular migration. The main focus of her studies are intercultural social work and international migration. Additionally she is a trainer for intercultural learning. In 2010 we realised several community development projects around Kenya - mainly focusing on the topic of HIV prevention and women’s rights.
MaathuKathe - Wednesday 23rd @ 19.00
MaathuKathe, which in Kannada means 'conversations' is new monthly platform for visiting or Bangalore-based artists, scholars, activists and critics, to perform, make a presentation, or just talk about their work. It is organised by the Indian Foundation of the Arts. The office space is open for talks and stories on the arts.
This session is about the work of the current bangaloREsidents. The Residency programme has been conceived as a long-term collaboration between the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore and various innovative and contemporary art/cultural spaces in Bangalore, with a view to offering German aspirants a space conducive to creative output and the opportunity to work with Indian artists/experts, in the challenging context of Asia's fastest-growing metropolis. The Residencies are designed to involve mutual exchange so that both the visiting Germans and the local community reap the benefit of fresh perspectives and expanding horizons.
Four of our current batch of 9 Residents will participate in IFA's MathuKathe on October 23rd.

Whatever You Say | Shivani Tibrewala - from Friday 18th
A funny, honest play revolving around a couple, X and Y, who one day discover that they have run out of conversation. What do two people who have nothing left to say to each other, say to each other when they are together? As X and Y laugh and bicker and try to rediscover the meaning in their meaningless existence, Z enters their lives… Actually Z has always been around – he’s the omnipresent ‘thought-collector’. Z collects all the thoughts that nobody wants. As Z develops burnout and starts setting thoughts free, what is said and what is left unsaid is no longer clear. And so it is that while feeding the pigeons, X and Y find that they have turned into pigeons themselves…You can’t win – no matter what you say… or don’t say. But you might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts!Alfons Knogl | Global Standard - Saturday 19th @ 19.00
ALFONS KNOGL
GLOBAL STANDARD
This exhibition by our current artist-in-residence Alfons Knogl features recent cement sculptures and new works connected to the artist´s "Coffeetable"-series. The title "Global Standard" refers to the global GS1 system which standardizes and numbers all kind of products. The show explores the in-between of an individual artist´s practise and the global-market's understanding of form and material.
Alfons Knogl is deeply interested in the context and connection of sculpture, furniture, interior design and music as forms of culture. Using the references and meanings of materials like stone and concrete, he builds forms such as bowls and tables and expressions of music which can be autonomous on the one hand and socially related on the other.
This exhibition is Knogl´s first in India. Other recent solo exhibitions since 2010 include Kunstverein Kjubh, Cologne, DREI Gallery, Cologne, Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne (Concert), SUSI Cologne and Kunstverein Düsseldorf (Project Space).
His artist-in-residency is supported by the Goethe-Institut, Bangalore.
