HYPERTENSION – 《HTN高血压》
23.10 – 23.01. 2024
online Exhibition in China curated by Shi Jingjing (artbank)
A mysterious and symbolic journey, starting from high blood pressure, exploring the stress and tension buried deep in our bodies. Hypertension is an unknown health problem, which often has a far-reaching impact on the body before people realize it, and has a subtle influence on all aspects of society until we begin to examine it. We use art, culture and stories to reflect the complexity of human society through the starting point of hypertension.

By invitation from Carl Michael von Hausswolff, musicians, sound artists and students from the Royal Institute of Art and Ecole du Mont Cotton (in France) are participating in the newly produced, collective sound work freq_spark (four corners). It will be presented as a composition of four digital sound mixers, an interactive installation which can be accessed and operated on the world wide web.
In 2002, the pioneering sound artist and composer Carl Michael von Hausswolff initiated the freq series thematising co-creation of sounds, environmentalism, and multisensoric energies. The ever-evolving work has been exhibited at institutions such as Stedelijk (Amsterdam) TBA21 (Vienna, Venice), Nuit Blanche (Paris), Moderna Museet (Stockholm) and the Marrakech Biennale.
Freq_spark is based on a series of lectures and workshops for students at the Royal Institute of Art preceding a new formulation of the freq series. Reflecting fire and deforestation, burning questions of current politics of environmental rights, freq_spark comprises a multitude of sound waves (or flames) created by artists from a wide range of experimental practices.
A concert and a launching event will take place at Rutiga Golvet on Fr
A concert and a launching event will take place at Rutiga Golvet on Friday, 31 march, 16.30. The Royal Institute of Art is pleased to invite everyone to celebrate together with many of the artists. After the event, the website of freq_spark will be launched globally on http://bilting.se/freq_spark/.
Carl Michael von Hausswolff and the Royal Institute of Art would like to thank all contributing artists, Ulf Bilting [web maestro], Ecole du Mont Cotton (Bagnols-sur Cèze) and Ocean Archive/TBA21–Academy.
A few videos I’ve recently produced in cooperation with the musician DEFICIT (UZ/ RU)
https://deficituz.bandcamp.com/
here the important collaborative work with Вячеслав Исмагилов aka Deficit – A tribute to Dmitry Vasilyev, the great Russian journalist in field of experimental electronic music, the man behind the Independent Electronic Music (IEM) fanzine and the later podcast, the owner of the label Monochrome Vision etc etc who tragically died in September 2018.
Deficit is a project of Vyacheslav Ismagilov, one of not many experimental artists living and creating in the country’s capital city of Tashkent, and now living in Russia, Tatarstan.He describes his works as arised from the hot climate and sun-burnt athmosphere of the place he lives in. In fact you can hear lots of traces and ideas definitely connected to the artist’s homeland culture. Use of uzbek musical instruments,the broken fragments of melodies and the low bass drones backing the unusual beats of these tracks sound very fresh and new to the western ears.
The sound is very intense and consists of a numerous different experimental experience,oriental synths and other hidden details that make this music so interesting.
It’s good to investigate the new territories sometimes – and it’s even better when the Introduction to them sounds as good as this one.

Anna C.E:E:H:: “O.R.* Mexican Light” 2020
ANNA C.E.E.H.: “O.R.* Mexican Light” 2020
The series “O.R.* Mexican Light” 1-20 was made during the Mexico -Tournee in Feb. 2020 and was post-produced in March 2020 Vienna.
“Ontological Realities” ( 2003 – ongoing ) are photographs of performances and capture movement through spaces of memories that partly define my current life. They are a kind of ironic game with pieces/bits of the past from the former Soviet Union and erotic elements, which present the body as the central medium of dealing with one’s identity and this (very) challenge.
This form of self-reassurance oscillates between pop culture, everyday life and art. I understand these visual impressions/flashes as “sound” – (sound of the city – sound of myself). I compose images in a double sense: (1) I act as the photographer, the model and her observer. (2) I use the visual contents and intervene via overlays and superpositions, displacements, reflections, blurs, rhythmical structures etc.

The Austro – Russo-Bulgarian artist duo FUCKismTC, well known for their subversive site specific installations and Red Square Guerilla Performance, will show a brand new work in Portugal named FUCKismTC: КОНФЭШН (“confession / con-fashion” written with Cyrillic letters).

Back in 1964, Susan Sontag wrote in her “Notes on Camp” that there is a sort of sensuality, “a kind of perversion, but unlikely to identify with it – known as the cult, called camp”. A sort of sensuality that is reflected in love for the unnatural, the artificial and the exaggerated, that embodies a triumph of “style” over “content”, “aesthetics” over “morality”, irony over tragedy. Camp begins to inspire once you realize that “sincerity” on its own is not sufficient. Aesthetic standards of camp are manifested in artificiality and theatricality as an ideal. Sensitivity to camp is only possible in societies of abundance that are capable of experiencing the psychopathology of excess.
50 years later, essentially nothing has changed, and camp continues to exist in art and in popular culture, moreover, it continues to be a kind of worldview. In a context of total dominance of “text” in culture, there is an acute shortage of visual sensuality, and a redundancy coupled with pretentiousness reflect this new sensibility.
Bad taste, which on the one hand is to be avoided, but on the another, is impossible to deny oneself the pleasure of loving, has now been transformed into a cliché as an aesthetic model, and this cliché has become a product. The concept of “taste” has ceased to be a meaningful category, and bad taste has become the object of veneration, a new aesthetic object, based on the distinction between high culture and mass media. Examples of high culture have been transformed into popular culture and have become variations of clichéd images. For instance, Wagner’s music became the leitmotif of Darth Vader, and reproductions of Kandinsky appeared on the packaging of R.O.C.S. toothbrushes. Beauty has become vulgarity, and vulgarity has ceased to be something vicious due to camp. This is an important step towards investigating the boundaries of the taste. Camp transforms everyday items into objects of worship, turning them into works of art. Camp is a cult that uses an alternative sensibility that now transmits a whole range of messages, from the collapse of the capitalistic system to worldwide gender/race oppressions, and transgresses conventional ideas about the “naturalness” of gender, taste, race and sexuality.
2019 became a year of “camp” celebration: John Waters (father of camp) is to receive the Pardo d’onore Manor award during the 72nd edition of the Locarno Film Festival; the Met Museum organized an exhibition entitled “Camp: Notes on Fashion” that re-explored a style of excess; moreover, they dedicated the Met Gala to camp, thus creating a sort of “metacamp” situation. We will continue this celebration in Lisbon with an exhibition project called “Pink Flamingos” that will be displayed in 6 sessions at the Rua das Gaivotas 6.
*The title of the exhibition refers to John Waters’ movie “Pink Flamingos”, which is a main example of camp in cinema.
The exhibition was realized with the generous support of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation; Embaixada da Áustria em Lisboa; Bundeskanzleramt und Bundesministerien Österreich; Departement Cultuur, Jeugd en Media, Flanders; Maria and Armando Cabral collection.
