For this year’s edition of FLYLEAF Book Fair, 90 international small press publishers, book and zine artists will participate in the programme of workshops, walks, round table discussions, readings, performances, and fire side chats. Hosted by three independent spaces in Berlin-Neukölln – Apartment, Falschrum, and WIRWIR – all are within walking distance and, due to their limited size, conducive to dialogue.

 

On Saturday 22nd August, 1pm – 7pm, Hanna Mattes will be selling her books produced with her self-publishing platform, Living Stone Press, at Falschrum.

 

Later that day, between 8pm and 9:45pm, Hanna will present a mini presentation on her publishing and book making activities at WIRWIR.

 

FLYLEAF will run from Thursday 20th August to Sunday 23rd August.

OnView is a curated film series by PalaisPopulaire. Twice a year, PalaisPopulaire present films from international artists that explore a specific theme over a period of up to 8 weeks. Under the title Transformation, the fourth edition brings together works by Vaijko Chachkhiani, Selma Selman, Sam Taylor-Johnson, and Gernot Wieland.

 

As in previous presentations, the works selected for OnView – Transformation reflect the different meanings and interpretations of the term. Set within social or political contexts, the films explore change and transformation, reversal and metamorphosis, revealing how opposites can both emerge and vanish.

 

The exhibition will commence on Thursday 13th August and will run until Monday 21st September.

Nextones is an international festival that promotes contemporary musical research and experimentation in its various forms, particularly in its dialogue with the performing and audiovisual arts.

 

On the opening night of Nextones Michela de Mattei presents Hydromantique, an underwater listening session with four underwater speakers. The sound is developed in collaboration with Palm Wine and consists of an approx. 30-minute sequence of audio materials assembled into a loose narrative structure, combining underwater stories, spoken words, and fragments from diverse musical repertoires. At the centre of the pool, a submerged terracotta jar evokes a static underwater organism around which the session unfolds, inviting listers into a collective ritual.

 

Hydromantique will first be presented as a live performance at 8:30pm, and again at 10:15pm on Thursday 16th July. It will then remain as a temporary installation with daily playback sessions, opening to additional sonic contributions.

 

Nextones runs from Thursday 16th July to Sunday 19th July.

Bruiseless is a state of collision that leaves no superficial marks on the skin. Yet it hints towards impact. Both in Ja Jess’ still lifes of an egg donation and in Andrea Marcellier’s masturbatory sculptures, a touch reaches inside. Something is taken that remains unseen, like the genetic records of bodies, or the annihilating nature of one’s own fantasies. And something is given. A touch can mean the beginning of a new life, or the soon-ending pleasure of fingers moving back and forth.

 

Bruiseless will open on Friday 17th July and will run until Wednesday 7th October.

 

The private view will take place between 6 – 8pm on Thursday 16th July.

Belmacz is delighted to announce Esto Perpetua’s continuation, with a new closure on Friday 10th July.

 

A presentation by Leonardo Frigo on traditional globe-making, Venice and Vincenzo Coronelli will mark the finissage on Friday 3rd July, 5- 7pm.

 

Esto Perpetua is a group exhibition that takes a photograph of a wall in the cemetery of San Michele in the Venetian Lagoon as its conceptual starting point for a visual investigation of this emblematic city. Developed in collaboration with the Venice in Peril Fund and curated by its director, Lavinia Filippi, the exhibition frames preservation not as the maintenance of a fixed status quo but as careful negotiation between traditions and transformations.
