Featuring Istvan Kantor, MachineSexActionGroup, DJ SAS (Short Attention Span)
You are invited to kick out the new year with Neoist singer/subvertainer Istvan Kantor and convulse to the beat of his hyper-decadent loopmachine folk anthems, high-tech videos and seizure like machine-sex. The art-crime mastermind, recipient of the 2004 Governor General's Award, is temporarily back fin Toronto from Berlin and will appear at the Drake on January 1 for a concert/performance integrating his new songs, video and action works. His video clips will include excerpts of his most recent museum interventions executed in Berlin, documenting his arrest at the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin's monumental contemporary art museum.
Kantor will be accompanied by members of MachineSexActionGroup.
Istvan Kantor aka Monty Cantsin, the Neoist open-pop-star, is best known in the art world for his passionate engagement and unquenchable thirst to subvert the rules of the institutionalized system of art. He was arrested and charged by the Polizei in Berlin on Nov 30 after splashing some of his own blood on the white wall right behind a gold Michael Jackson statue at the Flick Collection*. Besides trying to raise money to cover part of his trial expenses Kantor aims to make his own statement concerning the controversy surrounding his most recent crime. He must return to Germany to face the authorities of "Der Polizeipräsident" right after his concert/performance at the Drake.
Kantor is an artist-in-residence at the Podewil - Center for Contemporary Arts in Berlin-Mitte since Aug. 2004, creating new performances, videos, sound and robotic art, collaborating with local and international artists, working on site specific in-situ events throughout the Eastern part of the city.
*Museum officials and the media accused Kantor for trying to destroy the golden statue, "Michael Jackson with Bubbles" by Paul McCarthy. Kantor denies all accusation. He picked the golden figure of Jackson, reflecting childish innocence, to be the foreground image of his carefully designed blood-x master piece, entitled "Immortal Gift." With his ultimate gesture Kantor's intended to add a new piece to the FLICK COLLECTION presently on display at Hamburger Bahnhof. Christian Flick, the creator of the collection, is the grandson of a Nazi industrialist who made his millions through slave labour during WW II. Mr. Flick invested the family's fortune into contemporary art and recently he has donated his entire collection to the German state. The Flick Collection story served as a perfect background for Kantor to comment on the historical metamorphose of blood and gold, a recurring subject of his "Blood Campaign" gesamtkunstwerk in progress since 1979.

Deadline: March 14, 2005 (Inquiry Forms); Source: Franklin Furnace
In the spring of 2005, Creative Capital Foundation will accept proposals for its 2005-06 grant cycle supporting work in the performing arts and emerging fields. The nonprofit arts organization has implemented a new application process: to apply for a grant, artists must first submit an Inquiry Form, which will be available February 14, 2005 on the foundation’s website, www.creative-capital.org. The deadline for completed Inquiry Forms is March 14, 2005; those invited to apply will be notified in June 2005.
This year, innovative literature has been added to the emerging fields category. According to Sean Elwood, director of grantmaking & artist services, “We define innovative literature as work created by writers who challenge traditional notions of literary forms and concepts. We are interested in projects by literary artists who are striving to express themselves in alternative ways through manipulating language, formal structures, or new processes.” Innovative literature may include projects working in or transcending the genre categories of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.
As in past grant rounds, forty funded projects will receive approximately $400,000 in initial grants. In addition, grantees are eligible for follow-up support in the form of advisory services and additional financial assistance.
Now in its fifth year, the New York-based foundation has awarded more than $3.2 million in grants and supplemental support to 158 artists from 24 states and the District of Columbia. Creative Capital is currently in the process of selecting grantees in visual arts and film/video. Those grant winners will be announced in early 2005.
