Our TV IN PROGRESS has been launched!

A TV in progress, with plenty of absurdity and inspiration, and lots of fishes for a meditation break.

If you are bored of livestreamings, tired of online cultural products and all the framed information,
try tv-free-europe.eu

We planned it to be a series of LIVE EVENTS, but now we decided to put it all back into the box of a classical TV. Later we will break out of it again!

Mari @ Marie’s Early Night Show @TRIP Ship Budapest | 5 October, 2019

The show happened in the context of our European Democracy Network and was co-organised with KÖME – Kulturális Örökség Menedzserek Egyesülete

We are happy to launch our collaborative TV Free Europe soon!

30 years after Radio Free Europe influenced and transmitted the Fall of the Iron Curtain, with partners from 5 countries we explore buried hopes and possibilities of freedom of speech today. TV Free Europe is a series of practical research formats and theatrical late night shows. Throughout the project a growing archive is being built up, out of personal accounts, objects, stories and misteries.

The project is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union,  Allianz Kulturstiftung and the U.S. Embassy of Budapest

We are 10 years old!

Pneuma Szöv. was founded in 2008 in Budapest with an air factory researching and responding to bad city air and growing concpiracies polluting politics and our lives. >>> See more about the air factory under Lufthase

Since 2012 we have been developing own media formats as artistic tools to create a public sphere.
A local newspaper called „The Eighth Sea”, nomadic radio-theatre performances that occupy radio stations for an evening hour, an ephemeral “chalk TV” on the asphalt to communicate about local issues, or a “Street Channel” as a series of public talk shows on the streets of Budapest.
Our media formats are answers or better questions to actual socio-political
processes in Hungary, but also a reaction on the current ways of representation in mainstream media that increases prejudices and gridlocked social barriers instead of tearing them down.

In the past years we have built up a heterogeneous network in the rapidly gentrifying 8th district of Budapest out of white middle class people, Roma kids & their parents, inmates of the homeless shelter houses, passers-by, local activists and artists. Between 2013 and 2015 we developed a translocal wandering media format called “Paplament” between Budapest and Leipzig with the German performance collective Mobile Albania.

Where birds and planes meet, between Amager Fælled and Kastrup Airport, Mari & Marie look for freedom and flights. Mari & Marie started their entertainment program in the streets of Budapest, checking out what the future could look like. As time travellers they bounce between the past and the coming, always stumbling over the potentials of 1989. Is freedom outdated?

Tårnby Torv Festival is an attempt to maintain the connection between performance art and its most important players: the citizens right around the corner. In the festival cooperate artists from abroad, Danmark and citizens from Tårnby.

The festival is initiated by Tårnby inhabitant and performance artist Andreas Liebmann and takes place in, and around, a space on the 1st floor in Tårnby Torv Center.

We will have our first gathering on Wednesday 28 February.
You have not missed anything, we are in a planning phase.

*** Press release of the Bremen Air Factory on the Bremen Samba Carnival and The City of Space 2018 program ***

Während der Public Presentation des Workshops letztes Wochenende, der die AiR Factory aus Budapest in die Räume des kunst- und kulturvereins spedition transferiert hat, ist im Press Department – aktiver Teil der Performance – folgende Presseerklärung entwickelt worden, die wir noch in selbiger Nacht an die lokale Bremer Presse verschickt haben. Folgend dokumentieren wir hier die Presseerklärung und weiter unten – scroll down – das Quiz, das während der Intervention in den Bremer Karneval verteilt wurde und für Gesprächsstoff gesorgt hat und mit dem wir Fragen gestellt haben zu Raumfahrt, Verteidigung, dem Motto des Bremer Karnevals, Airbus und Ariane, um herauszufinden, ob diese Zusammenhänge bekannt sind oder von den Teilnehmer*innen und Besucher*innen des Karnevals mitgedacht werden.

Es war uns eine Freude zum diesjährigen Samba Karneval in Bremen zu sein. 
Das Motto „Verschollen im Weltall“ greift das Bremer Raumfahrtjahr „Sternstunden 2018“ auf und ist zweifellos eine Anspielung auf die boomende Raumfahrtindustrie der Region mit Airbus und der Ariane Group. Jetzt im Januar hat die Türkei einen 7-Milliarden-Euro-Vertrag mit Airbus unterzeichnet, um ihr Militär aufzurüsten, gleichzeitig marschiert die türkische Armee in Afrin ein. Mehr als nur ein Grund für uns, am Bremer Karneval teilzunehmen:

Verkleidet als Zwerge – Symbol bürgerlicher Kleingartenmentalität und in der Deutung als Heinzelmännchen auch ein Symbol für versteckte, unsichtbare Industriearbeit – haben wir den Karneval auf einer berittenen Rakete mit den Airbus und Ariane-Logos besucht, um auf die Verwicklungen von Raumfahrt und Rüstungsindustrie aufmerksam zu machen:
Hinter jeder Raumfahrtunternehmung und dem Streben ins Weltall steht zumeist ein skrupelloses wirtschaftliches und militärisches Nutzungsinteresse, beim militärischen Arm von Airbus ebenso wie bei den Ariane-Boosterraketen und dem sogenannten „Euro Deterrent“ Programm, vergleichbar mit dem Weltraumrennen in den 60er Jahren, das in den Hochzeiten des Kalten Krieges zur Entwicklung von Interkontinentalraketen führte. 

Dabei hatten wir außerdem ein Quiz, um zu überprüfen, ob Bremer*innen wissen, was ihre größte Wirtschaftsbranche wirklich macht! Die Ergebnisse waren schockierend!

Mehr Sichtbarkeit für Raumfahrt!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Die Lufthase-Gang
