Passing By presents two films that piece together brief segments from many different journeys into ever growing sequences of sights-seen-along-the-way, while looking out of the window of a car, a train, a plane or even just pushing a shopping trolley around the local super market.

New York's only monthly chiptune series return with a vengeance this June. Here to rescue one and all from this smothering heat wave is the cool, refreshing, and captivating BUBBLYFISH. Yes, I too felt a cool rush on my sunburnt skin just from hearing her shimmering name. For those in New York not smart enough to wear sunscreen in this blazing sunshine, Bubblyfish's tracks composed on Nanoloop are sure to relieve and revive. Until then, try some Aloe Vera to hold you over. Venturing in all the way from Montreal, abandoning the (slightly) milder climate of the St. Lawrence river, and wielding bottles of SPF 45 are ALICEFFEKT and TAXI NOUVEAU. These two are spearheading an unprecedented Canadian showing at Pulsewave--"Faster, Higher, Braver"? Only at Pulsewave. Last but in no way least, New Jersey's very own DISASSEMBLER emerges from the steamy caverns of Port Authority to complete the frosty lineup that is much needed this month at the Tank. So cool, you'll feel hot again.

Be@rbrick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Be@rbrick is a collectible toy designed and produced by MediCom Toy Incorporated. The name is derived from the fact that the figure is a cartoon-style representation of a bear, and that it is a variation of MediCom's Kubrick design. The at sign in the place of the letter a is a visual device that is a part of the Be@rbrick brand, and as such, a trademark of MediCom Toy."

"Pipilotti Rist
27 June - 31 August. UK Premiere
This exhibition marks a moment in FACT’s 2008 Human Futures: my world programme where one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists considers the human condition – from a conspicuously female position. Directing and often playing the lead in her own works, Pipilotti Rist turned to the do-it-yourself medium of video because of its closeness and intimacy with the subject. At a significant juncture in the artist’s career, as she prepares for a departure from the gallery to the big screen of cinema, this exhibition draws together a set of the prevailing concerns within the artist’s work to date."

"The Technology Readings:
A Night of Comedy
Part of New Silent
A group of Internet-addicted New York comedians perform readings on the joys and pitfalls of a technology-saturated culture. The evening will include Chelsea Peretti, Amy Poehler, John Roberts, Joe Mande, and Curtis Gwinn, among others—all notable for gaining fame on the Internet, from Roberts' YouTube monologues to Peretti's episodic online shows including the six-part series 'All My Exes.'"

"This exhibition explores the complex relationship between Italian Divisionism and the emerging Futurist movement in the early years of the 20th century. It is the first of its kind to be organised outside Italy.
Centred in Milan, Divisionism was arguably the most significant art movement to emerge in Italy during the last decades of the 19th century.
Dissatisfaction with modern civilization led Divisionist painters to explore Symbolism. Their aim was to represent political concerns and make their art into an instrument for social change.
The movement also sprang from research into optics and the physics of light. Inspired by French developments with pointillism, and fuelled by a desire to increase the luminosity and brilliance of their paintings, artists developed new techniques applying paint in a variety of dots and strokes.
This exhibition features around 60 paintings, including works by the main protagonists of Divisionism: Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, Giovanni Segantini and Gaetano Previati. It will also display works by the Futurist artists Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni and Carlo Carr�.
Radical Light is a unique opportunity to explore a lesser-known, yet undoubtedly important movement, offering a link to the National Gallery’s great historical collections of Italian art.
The exhibition is organised by the National Gallery, London and Kunsthaus Zurich."

L'expérience de "Panorama" est une expérience inhabituelle et enrichissante. Elle met son commissaire invité dans une situation inaccoutumée. Il ne choisit pas les artistes qu'il expose bien qu'il participe au jury de sélection de la première année. Les étudiants de deuxième année ont, de fait, été sélectionnés avec la participation de son prédécesseur.
S'il ne choisit pas les artistes qu'il expose, le commissaire de Panorama dialogue, tout au long de l'année, avec chacun d'entre eux. Il participe ainsi, avec les professeurs qui accompagnent chaque étudiant, à l'élaboration de leurs projets, à leurs hésitations puis à leurs réalisations : le commissariat de Panorama est sous le signe du partage.
Panorama est, à n'en pas douter, un rendez-vous placé sous le signe de l'expérience et de l'échange. Plus que nombre de manifestations, il invite à réfléchir au travail de l'art, à sa fabrication. Il faut voir se nouer les échanges entre chaque étudiant, les projets se bâtir à plusieurs, les renoncements comme les engagements. « L'engagement, d'ailleurs, dit un philosophe, est toujours une décision pour une cause imparfaite ».

Dislocation III
Was it an earthquake or explosives which destroyed this road or sidewalk. What did restructure it in a more abstract order than being again a useful ground? The artist is questioning our sense and perception of a destructive process and what it has to do with esthetics.
For Gregory Chatonsky it is not only the disruption and traumatic aspect of it but as well the genesis of something new. His transformation into an art work even lends to the destroyed material the momentum of an invention of a thoughtful fabrication.
Di tutte le sostanze, droghe o spezie, che da secoli animano gli usi e i commerci degli uomini, la caffeina è senz'altro la più popolare. E' l'unica sostanza stimolante che sia riuscita ad abbattere resistenza e pregiudizio, al punto da essere liberamente prodotta, venduta e consumata a ogni latitudine, senza vincoli o restrizioni alcune. E' con questa filosofia che a Viterbo, nella splendida cornice del quartiere medievale di San Pellegrino, per tre settimane viene spacciato liberamente
un eccitante potentissimo: un eccitante chiamato cultura.

EXPERIMENTA: where creativity and technology meet
" Lo stato dell'informazione-comunicazione, in Italia e nel mondo, è decisamente preoccupante. Il pluralismo dell'informazione è ormai più apparente che sostanziale. La tendenza è al peggioramento. Ciò che milioni e milioni di persone ascoltano, leggono, e soprattutto vedono, ogni giorno, è definito da gruppi ristretti, che decidono ciò che il grande pubblico deve sapere e ciò che non deve sapere."
