Happy Birthday Pneuma Szöv.!

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.

Mari & Marie go hygge – Tårnby Torv Festival

Duty free zone – early evening show + party by Pneuma Szöv. ft. Marie & Mari, Dr. Purple and local guests
19 November, 7 pm @Tårnby Torv Festival, Denmark

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 Is freedom outdated?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.

Marie & Mari

In a live performance the fictional duo of East-German immigrant Marie and Hungarian underground dreamer Mari lead through a performance of a TV Late Night Show that screens the world and actual questions through a perspective of 1989. Mari&Marie can reflect with humour and distance about today’s condition of freedom and living. At the same time they scrutinise formats of media dispositives and narratives through putting themselves into play as seemingly anti-moderators, as well as concepts of failing and clumsiness.

An essential part of the show is the always returning guest star “Dr.Purple”, who deals with questions of superstar hypes of nowadays. Next to her, each show presents, according to the actual topic, different guests from the Eastern and international undergrounds. They shape the show with their different aesthetics. Such as PhD candidate and technobutoh scholar Balázs Kellner, HoloChain and DarkWeb master Anders Aamodt, singer-songwriter Mary Ocher or alternative bands from Hungary. The show incorporates a wide range of multimedia and analog media elements such as live made projection or video live gaming and also sheds lights onto the question of interactivity in media and society nowadays.

Shows at: TårnbyTorv Festival Denmark, independent venues in Budapest and around: Auróra, Ó2, Crisis Festival in Patyolat, Bankitó Festival 2017, ROM Riders on the Mall 2018 Festival for Audiovisual Art, Müszi Budapest

PRESSEERKLÄRUNG DER LUFTHASE-GANG

*** 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.

[ngg_images source=”galleries” container_ids=”3″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” override_thumbnail_settings=”0″ thumbnail_width=”240″ thumbnail_height=”160″ thumbnail_crop=”1″ images_per_page=”20″ number_of_columns=”0″ ajax_pagination=”0″ show_all_in_lightbox=”0″ use_imagebrowser_effect=”0″ order_by=”sortorder” order_direction=”ASC” returns=”included” maximum_entity_count=”500″]

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

 

 

 

AIR FACTORY Bremen / SPEDITION AiR LOGISTICS

PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS SAT 3rd + SUN 4th from 7 PM

On the last day of the workshop you will not find us until late afternoon at spedition:

instead of finishing the manufacturing work and prepare the first factory tour and public presentation for the evening we will enter the Bremer Karneval. We found an old rocket in the rooms of spedition that has many inserts and missions in the past in different (Culture) Spaces, developed it to an Ariane 6.0 program and we’ll bring it to the Karneval instead of Samba: Ein Aufstand der Gartenzwerge und revolutionären Zipfelmützen – a Garden Gnome Revolution – against the romantic image of discovering the SPACE – EXPLORING OR EXPLODING – and showing the purpose of Space Technology for the armaments industry. When you want to join and support us: We will meet at 12 AM at Glocke.

For the Public Presentations at the evenings we prepared until now:

Informations about James Tilly Matthews and the Air Loom, impressions and thoughts to the AiR Factory in Budapest, footage of the demonstration Friday afternoon against the turkish invasion in Afrin and how all this refers to the Bremen Year Sternstunden 2018. You can take part in our ARIANE 6.0 Quiz and there will be more to see and DISCOVER in OUR SPACE.

We kindly invite you to the Opening of SPEDITION AiR LOGISTICS – your business of transport of culture, art, music and informations: the new dependance of the Budapest AiR Factory in Bremen at kunst- und kulturverein spedition.

Article about Air Factory in BALKON

[unfortunately only in Hungarian]

“A Pneuma Szöv. alkotói gyakorlata a kortárs színház és
képzőművészet határmezsgyéjén mozog, vegyes eszköztárból építkezik, és (…) a csoportot láthatóan sokkal inkább a gyakorlatban megszerezhető és továbbadható tudásformák érdeklik. A walk-in environment fogalmától – ahol a bejárás, a felfedezésre való igény valóban alap befogadói attitűd kell, hogy legyen – így jutunk el a
Léggyár szempontjából testhez álló work in environment fogalmához.”
