SUMMARY:Bristol Cube Microplex - Film and talk - NSK and Laibach: How an Art collective/Band set up a virtual state and their own currency
DESCRIPTION:Ticket Link: Head First Bristol\nNeue Slowenische Kunst\, A Global State in Time – with FIAT: All money is ours! Film and talk.\nWhat happens when an Art Collective and music group; NSK and Laibach\, create a virtual state with no borders\, and they issue passports and develop their own currency. Come and See the story of Laibach’s trip to Sarajevo during the Yugoslavian war where they issued passports to their Global State in Time\, in the Film: NSK STATE IN TIME \nAND the story of the development of a physical currency for the Global State as told by the authors – Charles Lewis and David K\, of the new book ‘FIAT: All money is ours’ by NSK State Reserve and published by Bristol based radical publisher PC-Press. \nWe are very proud to announce the launch of the book FIAT by NSK State Reserve – An art project about money\, currency\, what we will accept as an exchange medium and the idea of a global currency for a global state. \nCharles Lewis a member of NSK State and the Reserve discusses the book\, the art project and the concept of money and the use of relevant symbolism in the overprinting of old bank notes to create a global currency for a global virtual state! Confused? Came and join the discussion and see NSK State in Action\, plus videos about NSK and NSK state. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm5H0vuEk9o \n \n  \nNSK STATE – new publication FIAT\nWhen citizens of a virtual art-state took it upon themselves to create a new currency\, they chose a radically different direction than the blockchain coins currently in vogue. By appropriating not only the physical materials but also the functional aspects of the existing financial apparatus\, the principals of the NSK State Reserve extended the retro-avantgarde toolkit of the NSK State to bring the financial industry and its history into frame. This book reprints the notes and bonds created by The Reserve\, recounts key events from the history of this institution\, and offers direct insight into their process and principles. \nThis book showcases and discusses the idea of currency\, money\, art and what denotes a currency that we are happy to exchange and value. Each Hardback comes with a printed banknote with NSK artwork and an NSK Bond again printed with NSK FIAT artwork. The Paperback comes with the banknote. Each piece of currency is an artwork in itself and a former currency note or bond. \n174 pages on Art paper available in Hardback or Paperback \n\nHardback £25\nPaperback £20\n\nBuy the book here \n\nWhat is the NSK State?\nThe NSK State is a virtual global state. It is conceived as a utopian formation without physical territory and is not identified with any existing national State. It is inherently transnational and describes itself as “THE FIRST GLOBAL STATE OF THE UNIVERSE”. It issues passports to anyone prepared to identify with its founding principles\, and citizenship is open to all\, regardless of national\, sexual\, religious or other status. \n\nWhat is Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK)?\nNeue Slowenische Kunst was founded as a multi-disciplinary artistic collective in Ljubljana in 1984 as socialist Yugoslavia began to fracture. By the end of that decade\, the NSK groups had gained a reputation across Western Europe\, America and Japan. NSK’s works and actions have commented on many of the political events of the last two decades. NSK is now widely acknowledged to have played a vital role in the political and cultural history of Slovenia and former Yugoslavia\, even being credited with playing a role in the pluralisation of society and culture in 1980s Slovenia. \n\nWho created the NSK State?\nThe NSK State was created in 1992 by the groups comprising the Slovene arts collective Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK). These included Laibach\, IRWIN\, Noordung\, New Collectivism and the Department of Pure and Applied Philosophy. \nHere are two great and explanatory reviews: \n\nhttps://anticapitalistresistance.org/top-2023-books-fiat…/\nhttps://outsideleft.com/main.php?updateID=2886\n\n  \nNSK State website:\nhttps://nskstate.com/article/fiat-all-money-ours/ \n  \n

SUMMARY:'Massive Attack: Out of the Comfort Zone' Book Launch Author Melissa Chemam In-conversation with Annie McGann + Book signing + Queen Bee DJ set
DESCRIPTION:Author Melissa Chemam and Queen Bee will be in-store at Rough Trade Bristol for a very special ‘Massive Attack: Out Of The Comfort Zone’ Book Launch.\nIn association with Bristol Festival of Ideas\, the afternoon will begin with a Massive Attack inspired DJ set\, followed by an in-conversation with the author and Annie McGann\, and a book signing\, celebrating the release of ‘Massive Attack: Out Of The Comfort Zone’\, published 4th March.\n\n\n1.00pm Doors open\n2.00pm Queen Bee DJ set\n2.30pm Introduction + In-conversation with Annie McGann + Audience Questions\n3.30pm Book signing + Queen Bee DJ set\n4.30pm Finish\n\nVisit the Rough Trade website to pre-order the book and ticket here: https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/events/rough-trade-bristol-massive-attack-out-of-the-comfort-zone-book-launch  \n\nMelissa Chemam’s book Massive Attack: Out of the Comfort Zone is an in-depth analysis of Massive Attack\, tracing the group’s story from the inner-city cultural melting pot that Bristol was in the 1970s and 1980s. \n\n\nThis underground scene was influenced by a musical mix of punk\, reggae\, soul\, funk and later hip-hop. This led to the formation of various crews including the Wild Bunch who formed the nucleus of Massive Attack. \n\n\nThe book charts their rise out of communities of working- and middle-class kids from British families alongside Jamaican\, Irish\, Italian and Asian immigrants. Chemam retells this musical hybridity expertly through interviews with key Bristol musicians and scene stalwarts such as Mark Stewart of the Pop Group and the Maffia\, Jabulani Ngozi of Black Roots\, graffiti artist Inkie\, Ray Mighty of Smith and Mighty\, Tricky\, close collaborators of Massive such as Neil Davidge and others\, Martina Topley-Bird and members of Portishead\, Lupine Howl and Alpha. \n\n\nCentral to this book is the unfolding story of Massive Attack\, their art\, politics\, reflections on their own identity\, and the development of their astounding music\, loved all over the world. The work of the group’s creative driver Robert Del Naja is a key component of Chemam’s analysis\, written through many discussions conducted by the author in Bristol and further\, as well as through research into documentary sources. She details the making of their groundbreaking album Blue Lines\, as well as the impact of their followings records\, including Mezzanine. Key to the story are also the band’s unique collaborations\, with Horace Andy\, Shara Nelson\, Tracey Thorn\, Madonna\, Elizabeth Fraser\, Sinéad O’Connor\, Mos Def\, Damon Albarn\, Young Fathers\, Adam Curtis\, Banksy and many more. \n\nMelissa Chemam\n\nMelissa Chemam is a French journalist and author\, who has worked for France 24\, the BBC World Service and Radio France Internationale\, many magazines\, as well as for the filmmaker Raoul Peck. Since 2003\, she has been based in Prague\, Paris\, Miami\, London\, Nairobi and Bangui\, travelling to more than 40 countries.

SUMMARY:23rd April\, Ritzy Cinema\, Brixton\, London - book launch and film screening
DESCRIPTION:Marking 30 years since the 1984-5 miners’ strike\, DS30 is a political collage of sound and image. The film was originally commissioned as part of the ‘Extraction’ themed AV Festival in March 2014 and was set within the monumental structural lines of Dunston Staiths built on the River Tyne in 1893 to ship coal from the Durham coalfields to the world. Featuring footage of mining communities and industry along the River Tyne and of the wider mining community together with footage and sounds from Test Dept’s own archive related to the strike\, DS30 reflects on the group’s nationwide Fuel to Fight Tour in support of the miners\, during which they collaborated with local activists and mining communities. These included Kent miner Alan Sutcliffe\, who performed as writer and guest vocalist on live and recorded material and the South Wales Striking Miners’ Choir\, with whom they recorded the album ‘Shoulder to Shoulder’ to raise money for the Miners’ Hardship Fund. \nThis screening of DS30 is accompanied by a selection of archive material of the group on film and video which will be followed by a Q & A with founding members Graham Cunnington\, Angus Farquhar and Paul Jamrozy. \nThis event also celebrates the release of the book ‘Total State Machine’\, a major historical document and visual representation of Test Dept\, published by PC-Press. There will be a launch event following the screening. \nTest Dept formed in the decaying docklands of South London in late 1981. The group made raw\, visceral music out of re-purposed scrap metal and machinery scavenged from industrial waste-ground and derelict factories; a percussive sound with a political edge performed live against monumental slide and film projections in recently abandoned industrial spaces. Drilling\, pounding\, grinding\, metal bashing – a Constructivist/Futurist-inspired soundtrack to the death throes of industrial Britain. \nwww.testdept.org.uk
