INn MOTION 2007
From 5 to 7 July 2007
CCCB
Admission: 5 €
Capacity: 600 people
Between 5 and 7 July, the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (Barcelona
Centre of Contemporary Culture –CCCB) will be the venue for some of the most innovative stage and visual proposals currently coming out of Europe. INn MOTION, the biennial international festival of performance and visual arts, organised by the
Conservas Cultural Association, reaches its fourth edition presenting a line-up including
live art, performances, multimedia, installations, visual theatre, public space interventions, contemporary dance, actions and DJ sessions.
Some of the highlights this year include the première in Spain of Super Night Shot, by the Gob Squad collective, which, following its acclaimed opening in Berlin, was one of the top ten in 2003 and is still on tour around Europe; conceptual dance by The
real fiction, choreographed by Cuqui Jerez, and the latest show by Conservas,
Realidades avanzadas, dealing with the issue of property based on housing, public spaces and immaterial ownership; in line with previous shows put on by this collective, political subject matter and social commitment continue to be a leitmotif. Mention should also be given to the première of the three-dimensional porno short A Three
Dee Porn Film, by Kernow Craig and Matthew Day (based on The Three Dee (vegan)
Animal Porn Book by the same authors) and produced by the INn MOTION 2007 festival.
INn MOTION has found a complicity with a new audience, one that shuns entertainment without content and that finds a familiar atmosphere in the festival.
Quality, commitment, experimentation, surprise, fun… These are some of the key concepts for arranging the INn MOTION line-up. Quality, understood as the result of an artistic work that successfully resolves communication with the audience.
Commitment, because it is based on critical intervention into the state of our times.
Experimentation as an essential artistic driving force, and surprise as a logical consequence of the search for new forms of expression. Finally, fun, an essential element in INn MOTION, a festival that wants to generate stimuli and transformation tools based on the entertainment of the intellect. In a way, INn MOTION is conceived as a show of shows.
INn MOTION 2007 is a co-production by Conservas, the Department of Culture and the
Media of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the CCCB, the ICUB, the Institut Ramon Llull, the Ministry for Culture and CUBE, and it forms part of the Barcelona GREC Festival activities.

‘BIT.FALL’ by JULIUS POPP
Germany
Première!
The current version of bit.fall by Julios Popp, shows the following logical step from the project he commenced in 2001. Here, water is used as medium between current affairs and the spectator. The installation’s input comprises fashionable words selected from various websites by a statistics-based computer program. The resulting digital information is analogised and produces images moulded by water: 320 pipes are used to let individual drops of water trickle through magnetic valves in a space that is 8 metres wide. A computer program synchronises the magnetic valves and allows the bitmap pattern to form freely with the drops of water that land on the floor. As the drops dissolve, the water structures are collected in a container. The water is constantly sucked up towards the valve by a pump, creating a closed circuit.
Julios Popp develops inter-disciplinary works in which art and science converge, “test installations” that are so simple in structure and so accessible to the senses as they are complex and technologically sophisticated. They analyse interactions between complex systems, applying the logical rules and autonomies of constructed machines. However, the underlying “intelligence” in his software remains hidden from the observer’s view. The work centres around the basic things that hold human interrelations together, between humans and machines, and between humans and nature, as well as the social implications –the process of development of the human being through cultural and national conditioning.
8

The ephemeral curtain of information is a metaphor for the incessant flow of information we are exposed to and from which we configure our constantly changing realities. Visual information is only temporarily perceivable as an image before it dissolves in itself. Information distribution has turned out to be a transitory phenomenon that can be manipulated easily. The only associations remaining are those formed in the mind of the spectator. What matters is not what we see, but how we see it. bit.fall constitutes a critical commentary on society’s permanent quest for an objectifiable representation of reality using technological advances. This energetic attempt to pressure nature and its chaotic order —for the human mind— towards its own system of organisation is occurring simultaneously to a permanent remodelling of our culture. What stems from that is a fleeting interaction between order and chaos: the water text cyclically recreated and the fundamentally non-malleable water medium.
Julius Popp
Born in Nuremberg in 1973, Popp lives in Leipzig. He studied photography and art at the Leipzig Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (Academy of Visual Arts). He has collaborated with the Frauenhofer Institute, the Leipzig University and the Boston MIT

THE QUITTER: PHOTOS AND VIDEOS by JONATHAN GITELSON
United States
Inspired by comic books but with their own narrative and sequencing, Jonathan
Gitelson’s posters deconstruct a handshake with the same irony and detail that they investigate why shoes end up hanging from overhead electrical cables. A series of paintings on a single panel, Dream Job, combines text and image in a fun way, associating in this case a portrait with a series of classified ads, including a job in cloning (made up by Gitelson), highlighted in red. In subject matter and in execution, both projects invoke Gitelson’s beginnings as a literature graduate swallowed up in the philosophy of the everyday, who came across a photo whilst making artist books. But even mundane happenings, when treated with the formal storyboard structure, movie posters and advertising, can seem larger than life to a certain extent.
Jonathan Gitelson
Jonathan Gitelson holds a degree in Literature and Photography from Marlboro College in Vermont (1997) and also completed a master in Photography at Columbia College in
Chicago (2004). In 2004 he presented an individual exhibition at the Peter Miller Gallery in Chicago, receiving a Jury Award at the 47th Annual International Exhibition by the
San Diego Art Institute and has received a CAA Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation
Fellowship. His work has been included in the permanent collections at the Museum of
Contemporary Art, in Chicago; the Museum of Modern Art, in New York, ad the Victoria and Albert Museum, in London, amongst other institutions.

INMOBIARTE by ZOOP
Majorca
This piece was created as part of the CIMENTIMENTS (o no m’asfaltis el respecte…), collective exhibit, which was designed to reflect on the destruction of the land, the irreversible loss of the landscape and the profound cultural impoverishment resulting from unbridled urban development activity and speculation which is so present today on the island of
Majorca. Inmobiarte sells
Majorcan-style aesthetic plots, conceptual swimming pools, post-modern land and surrealistic urban developments.
I want to be a millionaire too!
INMOBIARTE
I sell everything, for sale, we sell, I sell myself.
Artist, poet, sensitive person: you too can sell yourself! Sell the concepts, negotiate the intangible, speculate with a cloud, re-appraise light, reassess smells, put a price on the invisible. Don’t get left behind!

LOOK LOOK
By ANNE JUREN & KRÖÖT JUURAK
Belgium
Première in Spain
Thursday 5 th July
8.45 pm (30 min.)
Pati de les Dones
“Look Look” is a choreographical transcription of the creative process in the world of fashion. Conceived as a fashion show, the starting point of this piece was the desire to show the techniques used by the designer Eva
Blut, and the different attitudes of the models on the catwalk. Anne Juren and
Krööt Juurak strike a series of poses inspired by the garments. The body and the image change, mutating from the stereotypical fashion figure to the everyday posture, from a clearly identifiable form to a hybrid, plastic one that is harder to recognise.
Krööt Juurak
Born in Tallinn, Estonia, in 1981, Krööt studied at the Institute of Art and Dance in
Arnhem and the Arts Academy of Gerrit Rietveld in Amsterdam. Since 1999, she has been presenting her performances and videos (“Camouflage” and “Green House”, in collaboration with Merle Saarva, “Artistic Approach” and “Admit that”) and performing at different international dance festivals in Estonia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium... In
2004 she participated in the “Funktionen” research project, set up by Thomas Lehmen in Kuusiku, Sofia and Berlin. She current lives and works between Tallinn and Vienna, and collaborates with several artists, such as Milli Bitterli, Raido Mägi, Anne Juren, Mart
Kangro and Merle Saarva. In October 2006 she will present her new individual work
“Once-upon” in Tallinn, Kanuti Gildi SAAL.
Anne Juren
Anne Juren lives and works in Grenoble and Viena. He was born in Grenoble in 1978 and studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Danse in Lió and, upon graduation, she received the State Scholarship, enabling her to complete her training at the Trisha Brown Studios in Nova York. In addition to her career as a dancer, she did several joint choreographical works (with Laurent Pichaud, Saskia Hölbling), and in
2001 she single-handedly set up OSLO, followed by another solo “A?” and, in 2004,
“J’aime”, in collaboration with Alice Chauchat. In May 2005 se inaugurated her solo piece “Code Series” and created “Look look” in conjunction with Krööt Jurak.

THE REAL FICTION – conceptual… dance by CUQUI JEREZ
Madrid
Première in Barcelona
Thursday 5 th July
9.30 pm
Hall
“The Real Fiction” by Cuqui Jerez proposes a project that researches into the trufades of bontinics and oregomatics. The fruteshed tool that we is culifi. Culifi means kurce, and the kurce narrows the limit between alobi and bodenda. Culifi is never supposed to merx on stage. Performers sericume for hours so that the culifi never drees, because if it were to dree, the audience could botine from the world of alobi to the world of bodenda. Culifis and joeruls are fascinating because they zipon between alobi and bodenda. The transformation of the zipon into a space wombed by the imagination of the spectator and then back to the real sisero ; and above all about the frotipey of surprise. everything that is happening on stage and the lums are questioned. Thanks to this tatese, it is a very important tool as it forms the ñus of the image, the limit
Cuqui Jerez
Cuqui Jerez is working to create a choreographical language through the body with relation to space, time and objects; the production of signals and, therefore, meaning through choreography; the transformation of meaning through repetition; the manipulation of special and time references; the viewer’s expectation and experience in theatre contexts; the memory; structure as a fundamental part of the contents of the work; the limits of representation; the limits between fiction and reality.
Cuqui’s career as a dancer and performer began in 1990 and she has worked in many different projects and with different choreographers since then. After creating several short pieces and collaborations, she began to develop her own independent activity in
1999. Her works are: “Hiding Inches” (1999), “A Space Odyssey” (2001) and “The Real
Fiction” (2005).

MENTA IN IURMAIN by Cía. LAS SANTAS / MONICA MUNTANER & KIKE SALGADO
Barcelona
Friday 6 th July
8.45 pm (1hr.)
Hall
“Menta in Iurmain” is a performance by two humans, Mònica and Kike, and a collection of inhuman elements: onstage movement, infernal rhythm, music out of context, music in context, reflections on current moments, expensive poetry, cheap philosophy, humour, my stupid opinions on things, a look at modernity to say that we don’t give a damn about modernity…
Basically, all of the things that make up a modern performance. I am the spirit of contradiction. An illusion: stirring up the conscience of an audience of compromised age. We have a good luck charm: the brain. “Menta in Iurmain” is a recent x-ray, a long walk through the incomparable spaces within the mental gaps of its protagonists. A complex story of two people who, though it’s hard to believe, still remain hopeful. Two bodies that fall from the heavens and quickly join the frenetic rhythm of “do something, whatever, just do something…”
Cía. LAS SANTAS
Las Santas is a collective of performer-creators formed by Bea Fernández, Mònica
Muntaner and Silvia Sant Funk. As a collective, it constitutes a work platform that enables these to use different formulas of creation, acting as a dynamic force that gives them a creative continuity. Since its creation in November 2000, Las Santas has presented: Descontrolada, Ejercicio nº3, Momunt, Escorzo, Bizarre, Aparences o
Mírame con otros ojos and Menta in Iurmain. They are currently managing La Poderosa
–a place for dance and other contaminants–, from where its members shake up their immediate cultural environment.

NO HO SÉ (FRAGMENT FROM “PERROS”) by JUDIT SAULA / MARTA GALÁN
Barcelona
Friday 6 th July
10 pm (10 mins.)
Pati de les Dones
“No ho sé” is a small extract from the original creation “Perros” by Marta Galán and Santiago Maravillas, presented for the first time at last year’s edition of the festival. This work reflects moments all of us are familiar with. Those moments when you stop and think: But, where am I going? What do I choose?
What will I keep? What will I leave?… The day, the week, the year, or the life maybe, or not,.. it will depend on these questions. But we cannot stop. We have to make a decision and keep going forwards. What will happen next? I don’t know.

SUPER NIGHT SHOT by GOB SQUAD
UK - Germany
Première in Spain
Friday 6 th July
10.30 pm (1hr.)
Pati de les Dones
(Super Night Shot is a special kind of video camera that uses infrared rays to see in the dark. The appearance is a very theatrical phantasmagoric effect)
“Super Night Shot” is a magical journey through the night time streets of a city not too far from here.
Full of unexpected surprises, the audience becomes the costart of a film that celebrates unforeseen encounters with strangers. Comic whilst also moving, “Super Night Shot” aims to raise the banality of daily life up to be glamour and tinsel of the big-screen hits.
After its acclaimed opening in
Berlin, “Super Night Shot” hit the top ten in 2003 and is currently battling it out in different European cities.
“Super Night Shot” (“Supernit” shooting. Video-installation itineraries through the streets of your city) is a one-hour-long multi-screen video shot an hour before the audience arrives. The film has no cuts and has been filmed using four video cameras manned by four actors on the streets of Barcelona. In the film, the city becomes the set, a place where the cigarettes butts in the drains are part of the scenery and everyone is a potential extra, friends, lovers or liberators. It is the film of your lives, your chance to shine. The audience waiting to see the film will star in its final scene, when our heroes return home after their fantastic mission. Sometimes, the film becomes a rap video, a musical, an action movie. The fifteen final minutes will be an escalation of cinematographic clichés, from the romantic kiss ending to the tragic fall, from the car chase to the hero’s welcome, inadvertently staged by the audience awaiting…

Gob Squad
Gob Squad works as a collective, with no director, on the concept, design, creation and performance of its own works. The permanent members of the group are Sean Patten,
Berit Stumpf, Sarah Thom, Simon Will, Bastian Trost and Johanna Freiburg. They invite other artists to collaborate on specific projects. In Super Night Shot, the Gob Squad has joined forces with video-performance artist Elyce Semenec and actress Laura Tonke, as well as sound designers Sebastian Bark and Jeff McGrory.
Gob Squad is an international group of artists working collectively with performance, installations and multimedia since 1994. Set up in Nottingham, Hamburg and Berlin, the company has produced live art in urban centres such as offices, houses, shops, train stations and hotels, as well as galleries and theatres. The humour and the energy behind their productions has reinforced their fame in Europe and the US. Always a step ahead in popular trends, Gob Squad has never doubted about forcing and broadening the limits of theatre and art through humour in order to provoke a reflection.
With a desire to place the beautiful in the mundane, Gob Squad uses magic and homemade shows to approach the banality of everyday life. This usually brings together a whole array of sources, from the greatest to the most vulgar, and their references to popular culture are both festive and ambivalent, and show the frustration of the desires that culture feeds. They examine the interaction between irony and sincerity, truth and falsity, art and reality, with a sense of humour and seeking to entertain and be provocative. Their work can be understood as a fun examination of identity and the need for fantasy to make sense out of contemporary urban existence.
The company functions as a collective with different artistic techniques; the result is a eclectic mix means of expression that can adopt the form of a radiophonic sound landscape, an Internet project, a video-installation, a party, a live film or theatre performance. At the core of any project is the aesthetic performance and an attempt to create a live experience that directly involves and interacts with the audience on different levels. Instead of passively consuming, the Gob Squad audience plays an active part, striking up special relationships with the works or art.
Gob Squad celebrated its 10 th anniversary in 2004.

Saturday 7 th July
10 pm (10 mins.)
Pati de les Dones
Dramatised reading by Miquel Àngel Juan, Señor Llonovoy.
“Indiosincràsia a les Illes” (A Brief History of a People without Memory) is an entertaining monologue about the massification caused by tourism and property speculation in the Balearic islands.
“In the Beginning, my People were the Islands’ sun
But then they came for Sunshine and stole away the Land.
The shore that once was virgin is now up the spout
Our Memories are now called Souvenirs
I wonder what Future awaits the Sons of our Parents”

REALIDADES AVANZADAS by CONSERVAS
Barcelona
Saturday 7 th July
10.30 pm (1hr.)
Pati de les Dones
“We appear to be living in a time of social unrest. Cracks are appearing in our way of life: enervated masses demanding article 47 on the street and asking for homes for all, uncontrolled information exchanges online, citizens using the city however they please and humming tunes as if they owned them. If you are losing respect for property.
This performance-interactive conference provides crisis-stricken governments, political parties and the powers that be, participating solutions to appease the discontent of the people, clarify all the misunderstandings and avoid having the general public take their rights into their own hands”.
Fundació Realidades Avanzadas – one spectator, one vote
“Realidades avanzadas” is born with the intention of inciting a reflection on democracy in general and, above all, the issue of property. It is articulated based on three main topics: housing, public spaces and intangible property.
One of the main objectives of the show is to transform thought based on ironic reflection on contemporary society.
The situation proposed, in which the spectators play an essential role, reproduces a scenario where the authorities invite the general public to decide what response should be given to the revolt that has broken out in the city. The references to social, political and particularly legal realities are constant and are one of the key elements in the show.
The beginnings of this montage arose in the video that Conservas broadcast on the YouTube website in October 2006 under the same name as this show. The video, in fiction format, including real images filmed with hidden cameras, condemns the property scammers and financial entities that, with the complicity of the administrations, have made real estate and urban violence a generalised phenomenon and rendered it impossible for the general public to exercise their constitutional right to a dignified home. This video received more than 8,000 hits in just two days and was up in the ranking of the most viewed
22

YouTube videos in Spain. As a result of a press conference held, a few days later at the “Workshop against real estate violence” where the video was being screened, the press turned up en masse. Shortly thereafter, at the request of a well-known banking entity, the video was censored on YouTube (website for free online broadcasting).
The company Conservas has brought together a team of 20 people to create this montage. Experts in motion graphics and videographic production, computer experts specialised in developing telematic systems for democratic participation, lawyers, musicians and scriptwriters from prestigious television shows. We must remember that some of the members of Conservas participate actively in the city’s social movements relating to housing, civics and the free circulation of knowledge. A large team to experiment with a stage proposal where technology becomes an essential part. Because today, technology is also essential to reality.
Conservas
Conservas was set up in 1994 as a project for cultural agitation based on researching, producing, spreading and managing innovative proposals in the area of performance and visual arts. The work undertaken in the management of the Sala Conservas venue, the artistic direction of the INn MOTION festival and the creation of own productions with the Conservas company, have made it into a point of reference in Europe in terms of new stage creation. In 1999 the success of the Conservas venue amongst the audience led the Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona to commission a cycle of Simona Levi shows. In
2001, as part of the Barcelona Grec Festival, the first edition of the INn MOTION Festival is held.

Conservas
Conservas is a project for cultural agitation based on researching, producing, spreading and managing innovative proposals in the area of performance and visual arts. The work undertaken in the management of the Sala Conservas venue, the artistic direction of the INn MOTION festival and the creation of own productions with the Conservas company, have made it into a point of reference in Europe in terms of new stage creation. Born in 1994 when Simona Levi, the main founder of Conservas, began to programme some of the riskier proposals and events in the city. In 1999, the company’s first show “Femina ex-machina” was presented and it received the FAD’s
Critics and Public Award that same year. In 1999 the success encountered at the
Conservas venue led the Mercat de les Flors in Barcelona to commission a series of shows from Simona Levi. In 2001, as part of the Barcelona Grec Festival, the first edition of the INn MOTION Festival was held. The Conservas proposal pulled in a massive crowd, whilst the critics highlighted it as one of the most vital and renovating proposals in the Grec that year. In 2005, the Conservas venue stared a new stage after broad renovations. Conservas forms part of the IETM network and is a founding member of the IRIS, a project that brings together the most prestigious centres of theatre creation and exhibition in the south of Europe.
