Poster for Lukrezia

2009 · ★ 0.0 (0)

According to legend, Roman noblewoman Lucretia committed suicide to restore her honour after being raped. For centuries, this story has served as a pretext for male painters to fabricate erotic and pornographic images. Goldt revisits this female symbol and adds her own perspective that challenges the historical mimesis of women.

Poster for Songs for Lines/Songs for Waves

1977 · ★ 0.0 (0)

This performance consists of ten songs in which music, language and images are equally important. In most of these songs, Anderson plays the violin, accompanied by her own singing and an audiotape (with spoken text, more singing or more violin music). Her songs are often combined with a film projection: she is framed by the light from the projection, and is playing with the shadows cast by her body and her violin. Anderson makes experimental music, and she often find solutions in technological inventions, as with the song 'a man, a woman, a house and a tree'. The music for this piece is created with the help of a ‘slow-scan’ machine, which registers visual information and transforms this into sound. These experiments are not only about music, but also abou language: anagrams, play on words and poetic stories. The introductory anecdotes that Anderson tells are just as important as the song itself.

Shell has been active in Nigeria for decades and this activity has caused enormous environmental damage in Nigeria. Shell's actions in Nigeria have led to resistance for many years, including among the local population, but there are also groups in the Netherlands that oppose Shell's activities in Nigeria. For example, this year after a 13-year trial, the company was ordered to pay damages to a group of Nigerian farmers, an unprecedented legal precedent. In this documentary of VICE's long-running series Toxic, we tell the story of this lawsuit through the eyes of human rights lawyer Channa Samkalden. This documentary was made in collaboration with The Council for Environmental Defence
