To Whom It May Concern, Raphael Langmair solo at P/////AKT, Amsterdam

MFA graduate Raphael Langmair (2012) has a solo presentation at P/////AKT, Amsterdam – opening saturday march 12, 2016  20.00 -24.00 h.

In 2016 P/////AKT is focusing on the conceptual legacy of Marcel Broodthaers’ 1964 work Le Pense-Bête and its relevance in current discourse. P/////AKT will outline six aspects of Le Pense-Bête, each of which comprises a solo exhibition, a public event, and an essay. The second aspect deals with transition, gesture and authenticity. The act of rendering his collected poems illegible by casting them in plaster is exemplary for the transitory qualities of Broodthaers’ artistic practice.

Symprovisation – Antwerp, Belgium

Symprovisation                                                                                                                 ExtraCity, Antwerp  –  Period: 17-20 April, 2012

Concept and tutors:                                                                                                            Nico Dockx, Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp                                                            Erik Hagoort, AKV| St. Joost, Den Bosch/Breda

How to improvise on a symposium?

This question became practice during a four day ongoing event at ExtraCity. Participants of the master courses of St. Lucas, Artesis, and AKV/St. Joost worked together in finding out what “symprovising” could be.

Let’s approach theoretical reflection through improvising. Trying to reflect and work on the spot: à l’improviste; using skills, work, procedures, ideas, texts, inventions, and coincidence.

The experiment was rounded up during a final presentation of results, stories, and thoughts with spotlighted spiderwebs, dance, collages, broken walls, and sadly a piece of Remy’s finger cut off.

With: Kasper Bosmans, Elsbeth Ciesluk, Remy Habets, Pim Kersten, Theodora Kotsi, Saori Kuno, Raphael Langmair, Tanya Long, Piotr Piskozub, Nelleke Schiere, Anna Stergiou, Timothy Van de Laar.

Remy Habets demolished the cardboard wall of ExtraCity’s upper floor.

Mixed interventions by Tanya Long (paint on wall) and Nelleke Schiere (stick in the window).

And lots of lunches
