Censor Lyrique :  “E-Mail Performance” @ Kolaj Istanbul / Gaîté Lyrique / Paris 

………………………

Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman

Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman was born in Istanbul, one of the post-WW II capitals of mounting industry. Since early childhood, he has been reflecting upon multi-fragmented mounting, collage, and forced-bonding that has come upon him through economic or other means. For some time, he has been elaborating on issues such like layered uniformization, chip brotherhood in a palaverel public space and its friction, false positive points of view and consent, fashions of identity collage and multicultural bridges that run parallel to petrol and gas pipe-lines. Resisting the environment he has been brought up in with defective production, Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman is following the footsteps of his predecessors, producing performances with dj sets tapping  pipe-lines and blowing up renewable multicultural bridges, and vj sets mounting images on these issues.

Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman

Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman, montaj sanayiinin II. Dünya Savaşı sonrası başkentlerinden birisi olan İstanbul’da dünyaya geldi. Küçük yaşlarından itibaren, iktisadi yollarla yahut başka araçlarla üzerine üzerine gelen bu çok fragmanlı montaja, kolaja, bu zorlama-yapıştırmaya kafa yordu. Bir süredir, katmanlandırırken aynılaştırma, palaverel kamusal alanda çip kardeşliği ve bunların sürtünmesi, yalandan pozitif bakış açıları ve rıza, petrol ve gaz boru hatlarına paralel giden kimliksel kolaj modaları ve mültikültürel köprüler üzerine düşünüyor. İçinde yetiştiği ortama, imalat hatalı üretimle direnen Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman, öncüllerinin de izinden giderek, boru hatlarına kaçak hat çeken, yenilenebilir mültikültürel köprüleri patlatan dj setler ve konu ile ilgili görüntülerin montajlandığı performanslar hazırlıyor.

Censor Lyrique :  “E-Mail Performance” @ Kolaj Istanbul / Gaîté Lyrique / Paris   -  Censor Lyrique :  “E-Mail Performansı” @ Kolaj Istanbul / Gaîté Lyrique / Paris 

This e-mail performance is about what is included into the “experimental” and “critical” collage of Istanbul and how, and how indeed a genteel censorship works in this collage. The story is usual: that of an intellectual selling, this time, the event-organization version, upgraded with a “stakeholder” jargon. It is made as if this is not a “dialogue” a-là-classical commercial market-a-city festival, and this event is not a zoo where the artists are not put in display, but as if it all takes place in a “critical” and “experimental” palaverel universe. To this effect, at first, information is withheld, as much as possible, about the cliché contents of the event. Instead, the invited artists are persistently asked about the technical requirements, as though everything else is already agreed upon. To those who inquire the perspective of the event, rather than the technical requirements, a couple of “critical,” “experimental,” “oppositional” words are put down in the e-mails, and in English. Those very couple of words, somehow, are not the ones that are in the belated event text published at the web site. You may buy that, if you want to… What is sought for are the “stakeholders” who would buy all this without asking any questions. In the meantime, if the invited “stakeholder” candidate is to make a performance (Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman) other than the one stigmatized to be the “usual” project (2/5 BZ), his questions regarding the perspective of the event are waved off until he coughs up what his performance would be all about. If he still insists to ask such like questions, he is taken to be a mental case. In the end, if the invited artist’s words and work is not “critical” and “experimental” in an “adaptable” dose, collage-wise, his project is censored –put more gently, “the line-up is taken to another direction”. As if the event can truly depart from the “stakeholder” mentality, and as if any claimed-to-be-critical direction is possible for such like an event

…………..

 Bu e-mail performansı, İstanbul’un “deneysel” ve “eleştirel” kolajına neyin nasıl dahil edileceği, kibar sansürün nasıl işleyeceği hakkındadır. Hikaye, bildiğiniz entellektüel satıcılığın event organizasyonu versiyonudur ve “paydaşlık” jargonu ile upgrade edilmiştir. Klasik ticari-şehir-pazarlama festivali üzerinden ‘diyalog’ kurulmuyormuş ve bu event sanatçıların teşhir edildiği bir hayvanat bahçesine benzemiyormuş da olaylar “eleştirel” ve “deneysel” bir palavrel evrende geçiyormuş kurgusudur. Bu kurgu içinde, öncelikle, mümkün olduğu kadar, klişe festival içeriği hakkında bilgi verilmez, bunun yerine, davetli sanatçılara, herşey tamammış gibi, ısrarla teknik gereksinimler sorulur. Teknik gereksinimlerden evvel perspektifle ilgili sorular soranlara, e-mailde, ingilizce, “eleştirel”, “deneysel” ve “muhalif” üç beş kelime attırılır. Bu üç beş kelime de, festival web sitesine çok sonraları konan metinde, nedense yoktur. Yerseniz. Aranan, bunu sorgusuz sualsiz yiyecek “paydaşlar”dır. Bu sırada, davetli “paydaş” adaylarının “alışılagelmiş” olarak damgalanan projeleri (2/5 BZ) dışında bir iş yapma (Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman) niyetleri varsa, yapacakları işin içeriği ağızlarından alınana kadar, içerikle ilgili soruları pas geçilir. Böyle sorular sormakta ısrarcı olana, ruh hastası muamelesi çekilir. En nihayetinde, davetlinin sözleri ve işleri “kolaj”a “uyumlu” dozda “eleştirel” ve “deneysel” değil ise, projesi sansür edilir –kibarcası, line-up’ın istikameti başka yöne kaydırılır. Sanki eventin, “paydaşlık” kafasından ayrılıp, gerçekten de iddia edildiği üzere eleştirel bir istikamete gidebilmesi mümkünmüş gibi.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS AND COMMUNICATION

Jos and Jos’,

 

In your latest e-mail, there appears to be two different styles, and the response below is shaped accordingly. Maybe, looking back to your e-mails in this light, the absurdity of what you have written and the way you carried out our communication becomes apparent.

Yes, I am “serious” and let me tell you once again: I do take the agendas and “call texts” of the events/festivals seriously. Inviting institutions, organizers, or those who write the “call text” are duty bound to “take the necessary time” and answer the questions of the artists that they have invited, regarding the context and agenda of the festival/event, without making the artist ask again and again, and without using pretexts such like “as you were sick, and our schedule was tight.” Before talking about equipments and stuff that you have once asked in a hurry, an explanation about the event has to be made, and is normally made. Hence, persistently asking for such an explanation does not mean that I am “consistently seeking justification” or “totally focused on myself”.

Although I have asked at least three times, I have not received thorough and non-contradictory information. A festival can be realized over well-known themes, or clichés, yet, as I expect it, formations which claim to be “experimental” and “critical” has to be more open and consistent, and not hypocritical. Let me repeat it once again, in a scene that you have defined as “explores the forms of digital culture through interdisciplinary and critical approach looking for connections and relationships between arts and technologies,” an event is organized, which, according to your e-mail “(…) Kolaj is a modest proposal about the idea of fragmentation, layering, friction, resistance strategy, destruction and reassembly, which seemed to emerge from this city”, and according to the call text, “Istanbul. Istanbul comme un collage de cultures, de religions, d’identités où résonnent et foisonnent des sons. Cette ville contraste entre Orient et Occident, est abordée sous le double angle du son et du rythme. Comment voir et écouter la capitale culturelle turque ?” To this obvious contradiction, in your latest e-mail, you have made a “stakeholder” talk –‘dialogue’, ‘bridge’, ‘tolerance’, ‘volunteering’ was already in the market, and the newest addition is “stakeholder”. I hope you know what this “stakeholder” talk, a select part of the neo-liberal jargon, put in the mouths of those, from IMF and World Bank on, to the firms and corporations, as well as government institutions, and non-governmental organizations, stand for. With the claim of being “critical”, I hope you have thought also about why and who is to hold a share and an interest as if he/she is a partner in a firm.

The city can well be a scale to explore or limit a context. As you have put it, it is an “empty shell” and it all comes to what you talk about within this scale. In your case, there is not a single hint of a “critical” stance. To explore the economic and political contexts of the city, and how it relates to the artistic practices, telling a different story in the e-mails, coming down to the East-West clichés as in other Istanbul events, without any criticism/explanation in your call text, and adding “stakeholder” talk to it, is in itself problematic. What is at “stake” here, in this new version of East-West business? Why are people getting into a “stakeholder” relationship, to share what exactly? How is that sharing done, and who are the actors? With whom are they getting into such like a relationship with –your sponsor Gaz de France, Paris Municipality to which you are related, according to your e-mail, or “Istanbul art scene”? What, then, is your difference from the well-known city/country centered festivals and events (in our communications, I did not use the words “biennial” and “focus”, those were your additions), made as if they are exhibiting animals in a zoo in an updated fashion? If you do not have a difference, why are you hiding it?

Labelling such a line of questioning as my “distrust” is a grave misunderstanding. There sure are “other temporalities and realities”. As such, not every artist can be expected to wag the tail and come a-running to wherever he/she is invited, and with no questions asked. Beyond any discussion, the artist has a right to question your agenda, and your way of doing business, verbally or with a work. Without looking at yourselves, and without giving proper answers to the questions, problematizing the invited person’s right to question and criticize, and turning this into an attack towards the character of that person is not only sassiness, but cockiness as well. If you are hypocritical, do not become disgusting when a mirror is held to your hypocrisy.

As for an event that I have not applied for but called to, ending at a “respect our decision”, I wish the ground of discussion had not shifted that bad, and you had behaved more honorably. If the institutions you are in contact with have set overt or covert limits to your events, there is nothing wrong to confess it. Yet, you have attempted to censor a work that you have invited at first, then did not find ‘neat’ and ‘adaptable’ enough, even failing to write two lines or put down two sentences of criticism. More, as an incapable expert, you throw mud at 2/5 BZ’s being known. In your limited capability, it is obvious that you have used the project name as a pretext for censorship. If it were not Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman, but 2/5 BZ making the same “insufficient” performance, with your calculation of “stakeholding”, you would have censored him right on the stage.

 

I need to remind once again that such like hypocritical workings and censorship is poisonous in the sense that it empties the critical, experimental, alternative stances, and limits their horizons. What you have called a discussion of “life or death” in a manner that lacks a backbone, I take it as a discussion of mentality. Also, I do not see any problem in calling hypocrisy as hypocrisy, censorship as censorship, and cockiness as cockiness. You are hypocritical, you censor, and you are cocky.

Are you serious serhat? If so I don't understand the agressive way you have to discuss since the beginning of our exchanges, using, mail after mail, a serie of very inappropriated words, constantly seeking justifications, totally focused on yourself, unable to consider that elsewhere other realities, temporalities exist.

Do we talk about performance, participation to a festival or life and death ?

 

We have not had the opportunity to meet as we have done with the other involved persons, as you were sick and our schedule was  tight. We would have take the time necessary to present in detail the venue of Gaîte lyrique, our idea with this programme on Istanbul and our general approach. 

 

I do not accept your interpretation, insinuations and the way you divert the words.

As said, I possibly understand a certain distrust towards these enclosing events like biennal, focus, festival can sometimes be. In the same time I also consider that exploring an artistic scene through a city remains an interesting way to understand a context, urban, economical and political, the relations between a city and the artistic practices and to meet with their stakeholders, radio, venue, labels, artists. We are building our 5 days programm, Kolaj Istanbul, with this subjective point of view, with a selection of performances, talks, concerts, documentary film, video, tales, workshops.

 

Nobody knows your work here. Not to attract customers but to interest an audience, the idea was to present your 20 years of experiences in the audiovisual collage through your different projects, your work process, your subjects, how you perform...According to this I was not against your proposal but without giving a context, I found this content not sufficient. 

Pls respect my decision.

Hi Jos, 
Thank you for informing me about the result.
I will be pleased if you bother to tell the truth about a few issues written below. 

Since your e-mail (dated 15 May) inviting me to your event, you have persistently stated that you have been inviting “me”. In my response (dated 24 June), I have told you that “me” performs solo, or as a group under different artist names, other than Serhat Koksal and 2/5 BZ. In my e-mail dated 5 July, I have written that I want to present my latest project under the artist name, Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman. Yet, until you have read the artist bio/the contents of the project, you have not told me that what you have meant with “me” was 2/5 BZ, instead, even in you e-mail dated 7 July, you have asked what my new project is about. Is it really “I”, and the project that I have been working on that you wanted to invite to your event, or is there something else? I want to know what lies beneath all these: under the appearance of a experimental festival, are you running a shop no different than those other commercial festivals, and hence, do you think 2/5 BZ would somehow attract more customers? Or, is Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman not an artist “adaptable” enough, and he appears to be way more “critical” than your “critical” approach? 

Also, I have been asking you since our very first correspondence, and you have not yet explained what the festival is about, nor have you sent me the English version of the festival text. I guess, the English text at the web-site is added after you have answered me. In all cases, compared to the text at the web-site, you have openly misinformed me. As I have written in my previous e-mail, the attitude to be drawn from your wording of the festival is in open contrast with the festival text. What I wonder is why you want to make as if a commercial and touristic festival, like many others, is critical/experimental. As you have put it, “
most of the time, that kind of city focus from institutions like Gaîté lyrique are a perfect empty shell..”, yet do not you think, while filling that city-focused festival as “empty shell”, one has to be sincere and consistent? Do you misinform all the artists that you invite? Or, is it an attitude specially reserved for Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman? That is, under the constraints that you have implied but not confessed (you have implied but not clarified these constraints in on your e-mail dated 7 July, saying: “Today, the scale is not at all the same (the Gaité is a project of the City of Paris) and people are not animated by the same requirements ... it's not easy to be all on the same wave.”) there is a censorship at play, and you are not brave enough to speak openly about it?

In all cases, I wish you
good luck in the new direction that your line-up has taken…

Hi Serhat, 

I understand and respect that you don't want to present your usual 2/5 BZ work in that frame.

I prefer rework the line up in an other direction then.

Hi Jos,

thanks again for your invitation to the Gaite lyrique Kolaj istanbul event..

 

as i understand from your last e-mail, in this "Galite lyrique" event, unlike your previous project "Batofar" space, you face certain limitations...

 . 
also, you have not sent me an english text for the link (
http://www.gaite-lyrique.net/en/node/1338). a friend translated the text, and the way you put it in your latest e-mail ("Finally 'Kolaj' is a modest proposal about the idea of ​​fragmentation, layering, friction, resistance strategy, destruction and reassembly, which seemed to emerge from this city. This is an attempt to understand a context of production and the artistic practices a city participates to produce.") do not imply the same issues as the text in the event page ("Istanbul comme un collage de cultures, de religions, d’identités où résonnent et foisonnent des sons. Cette ville contraste entre Orient et Occident, est abordée sous le double angle du son et du rythme. Comment voir et écouter la capitale turque ?" (...) Kolaj Istanbul ! recréé au sein de la Gaîté lyrique cet espace public où les sons et influences s'entremêlent. (...) La Gaîté lyrique propose une déambulation dense aux allures de chaos organisé et s'imprègne de l'ambiance si particulière qui règne dans les rues étroites et bondées d'Istanbul."). does the idea of the event belong to you? if so, i hope those that you have written me is also announced to the public at large.    

as i have said before,
i want to present my " Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman " project. the artist biography and the contents of the project is as written below. this artist biography can be used for your announcements. 

Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman was born in Istanbul, one of the post-WW II capitals of mounting industry. Since early childhood, he has been reflecting upon multi-fragmented mounting, collage, and forced-bonding that has come upon him through economic or other means. For some time, he has been elaborating on issues such like layered uniformization, chip brotherhood in a palaverel public space and its friction, false positive points of view and consent, fashions of identity collage and multicultural bridges that run parallel to petrol and gas pipe-lines. Resisting the environment he has been brought up in with defective production, Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman is following the footsteps of his predecessors, producing performances with dj sets tapping pipe-lines and blowing up renewable multicultural bridges, and vj sets mounting images on these issues.

the video in the link below is from a performance in his earlier years: 

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcjZflDUVRE 

and as i already said before, i
t is a 40-45 minute dj set and vjing. the name of the project is also the artist name. Hence, as in my other projects that i use such like an artist name, the names 2/5 BZ and/or Serhat Koksal should not be announced in any way. in other words, for your event, the announcement of the artist name “Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman” only, would be enough.

Hi Serhat, 

you're right, most of the time, that kind of city focus from institutions like Gaîté lyrique are a perfect empty shell.. 

Before working here, I set up a venue in Paris on a boat, Batofar, perhaps you know it, and from 1999 to 2002, we organized festivals focusing on cities. At that time, all the international experimental electronic scene was circulating around France unable to break through. For this reason, we set up a non profit organization and decided to open a place in paris : we started seeking the independant and invisible others venues in Europe, radios, musicians, record shops around us, Berlin, London, Oslo, Budapest etc...And we brought them over in Paris.
Today, the scale is not at all the same (
the Gaité is a project of the City of Paris) and people are not animated by the same requirements ... it's not easy to be all on the same wave.

This does not change the fact that I find your work rich and complex and that I find interesting to exchange with you about your possible participation. I do not know your new project Total Turbogaz Dj Vj Eurottoman Frozen. If you want to tell me more, thanks.

and if you do not want to be part of this program, I understand perfectly, pls let me know.

Finally 'Kolaj' is a modest proposal about the idea of ​​fragmentation, layering, friction, resistance strategy, destruction and reassembly, which seemed to emerge fromthis city. This is an attempt to understand a context of production and the artistic practices a city participates to produce.

hi jos

Thank you for your detailed answer. In my questions concerning the details of your event, I was also asking the text on: http://www.gaite-lyrique.net/en/programmation/theme/kolaj-istanbul. As you also know, events and exhibitions with the theme Istanbul are around for a long time. Most of them end up being nothing more than a zoo. In these exhibitions and events made under flashy concepts, artists become somewhat a shop-window decoration. In other words, the work/agenda of the artist fall behind the signboard “Istanbul”. Hence, I wanted to read your text and understand what your take is on the subject. Yet, as of 5 July 2011, the text is only available in French. Is that a special preference of yours, putting the text only in French and referrring to that text, and rendering your frame of reference understandable maybe only to your audience? Or, along with the details you have sent me, is it the case that, first the invited artists should understand how you put “Kolaj Istanbul” into words?

 

As for me, in your event, I prefer to present my new cut-up/collage project that has been on my agenda for a while, and that I have been working on these days. This project is entitled “Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman”. It is a 40-45 minute dj set and vjing. The name of the project is also the artist name. Hence, as in my other projects that I use such like an artist name, the names 2/5 BZ and/or Serhat Koksal should not be announced in any way. In other words, for your event, the announcement of the name “Dj Total Turbogaz Vj Frozen Eurottoman” only, would be enough. 

Looking forward to your answer,best ,

Hi Jos ,


thanks for your invitation.
as i have already asked you before, i need more information about this event: what is your event's title? what are the contents of the theme "istanbul"? how would that theme relate to the artists? what sort of performances/shows would be included in your event? who are the other participants? who are the sponsors? etc... i have to have an idea about all these to decide on the contents of my performance. 


i have been making audiovisual  performances for 20 years. i have performed in 19 countries, and 90 cities so far. generally i participate into festivals and events with my different projects: sometimes improvisation, sometimes dj vj cuts/sets, sometimes solo, sometimes group/band ( with 3-4 person ) performances, and most of these performances were made under different names. the context of the event/festival can often become the reason to come up with a new project. hence, the information you will provide will be useful for me, also to decide on the context my performance at you event, especially given that i have a new project at hand.. excited about my new project for my gigs in nowadays.

all the best,
