Every two years, the 900mdpl project consists of an elongated continuum of smaller events such as multiple-sites exhibitions, a transient museum, public programs, and a publication series. It proposes a possibility to create a growing socially-engaged archive of the village and to preserve the collective memories of the community by bringing together local and international artists for a research residency and production of new work.

*

In the third iteration, titled “900mdpl: Genealogy of Ghosts and How to Live with Them” (2022); myth, bedtime story, and cautionary tales hold important positions in the discussion. The exhibition was transformed into a process of embodied knowledge transmission: from walking and talking to the tactile experience of being in nature. The process gave a glimpse of ‘laku’ that refers to learnings gained through bodily experiences under specific circumstances, as well as those passed down orally from one generation to another.

PART 1 

klupko, or the fabric of the living world 

talk with Go-Eun Im

From September 2022, klupko organized with Shinjae Kim an online reading group between Utrecht and Seoul. Parallel to these meetings, klupko has held several workshops and events to reflect on practices of care and related issues.

The klupko hosts, observe the ongoing crisis – ecological, political, and ethical – a crisis of sensitivity relating to otherness: on the run, at risk of extinction, or strangers within ourselves. The ongoing series of klupko encounters retrace home and its edges, as a relation one must seek to re-establish.

PART 2 

a little history of the house, a little lecture performance 

directed by Hyun-Suk Seo
performing Eun-Keong Yun

“the house shelters day-dreaming” / In The Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard celebrates the house as the origin of all thoughts; the conscious is the mirror image of the house. The same year his landmark book was published also saw the appearance of the most famous house from Hollywood, which Hitchcock’s psycho centers around. The dark house shelters illicit day-dreaming. Taking on this contradiction, a little history of the house, a little lecture performance with moving images, gropes about the rubbles of the once firm manifestation of the house in history.

Forest Room Variations

image: Go-Eun Im

.

Our new encounter returns home and its edges – a tapestry that encompasses us – as a relation one seeks to re-establish. A ‘forest chamber’ is entered with works and performative acts by:

Marianna Maruyama
Hyun-Suk Seo
Igor Sevcuk
al-yene (sata taas)
Maartje van Denderen
Go-Eun Im with Polina Fenko &
George Dzodzuashvili / Post Industrial Boys

/

.

Variations in music alter over the course of repetition. In a cosmic sense, any perturbation in the movement of the planet, or especially the moon, is a variation. A shift for all of us – the orbital creatures. When properly felt, it re-relates and reframes hierarchies of coexistence (included and excluded).

We invite you to the ‘regents chamber’, hung with an expensive forest tapestry – to reopen, reinhabit, and translate it – in a series of variations. The rulers thus choose (not) to care for the unfit, or otherwise strange and homeless. How about those woods between borders, those alienated in peripheries, or plotting stateless constellations?

Our variations will attempt to address these (un)homey issues in the historic guest house and nursing home in the city of Utrecht.

(un)homey edges of hospitality – with Ilse & Shila

.

Our (un)homely encounter considers hospitality and hostility, the two words that share the same ancestral root. We follow a radical trail, in which homeless persons or refugees fleeing war are received in an intimate setting of private homes in a safe country.

30 October / 15:00 – 17:00

location: Goleb & De Vlugt / Burg de Vlugtlaan 125, Amsterdam

seat reservation by mail: klupkorooms@gmail.com

*

Ilse van Liempt, the researcher on forced displacement and local emplacement, will join the hosts of the event, Igor Sevcuk & Go-Eun Im, together with Shila Hadji Heydari Anaraki, a PhD researcher who examines arrival infrastructures for people on the move without documents.

Following the short intros, the presentations from the field research and the unfolding conversation will closer illuminate (un)homey edges of hospitality.

*

*

As an intermission, we will screen Black Film by Želimir Žilnik, 1971. The 14-minute film is a thought-provoking experiment in understanding the limits of hospitality and artistic involvement when it comes to the social exclusion of abject otherness. In the film, a group of homeless people – those who ideologically didn’t exist in socialist Yugoslavia – are invited to stay at the filmmaker’s house as he roams the city to address their ‘invisibility’.

part 2: the hosts and a few ghosts

.

The meaning of home might change, not just for the homeless, but also for those at home. The two Klupko hosts, observe the ongoing crisis – ecological, political, and ethical – a crisis of sensitivity relating to otherness: on the run, at risk of extinction, or strangers within ourselves. The new series of Klupko encounters retrace home and its edges, as a relation one must seek to re-establish.

Visit us for the second part of the dialogue the hosts and a few ghosts at Klupko – a space where daily life, hospitality and artistic practice are intertwined.

The ghost guests include:

Jeanne Baret
Anna Atkins
Fanny Hesse

Walter Benjamin
Oxana Timofeeva

The installed works consist of the following ruptures in co-ordinates of the familiar:

.

En Tibi Herbarium

Go-Eun invites you to peek through a microlens into a green lab, the space of her latest film-in-process. The current rough cut is shown along with the painterly montage of the slides. These ongoing cinematic experiments rethink colonial inventions, such as herbarium practices. They depict the stories that grow when the old myths of modernity germinate in a different relationship – as dislocated botanists, twisting the time of a smiling garden into a stroll to reminisce – to embrace repressed, estranged kinship.

.

.

moon & horse – N.N. files

Igor’s sound installation consists of two stories played between scattered files investigating the cross-border memory of the disappearance of a migrant worker, N.N., in Berlin.

Tale 1: An I exiled to the Mediterranean coast has a vision illuminated by the moonlight just before the moon collides with I’s childhood apartment in Berlin, heralding the end of all territories.

Tale 2: N.N. reappears as a horse strolling in Berlin’s Tiergarten. He was an illegitimate child, homeless, partisan fighter, father of five, carpenter and migrant worker with a few severed fingers.
