2011-12-27 2011 synopsis: past, present and future

in retrospective, a year appears short. actually this one was full of events. sven piayda contributed works for several exhibitions, AESTATE put out three releases and there was also enough live performing and deejaying.
so far, 2011 is the year with a maximum number of exhibitions, even in great places: ludwig galerie schloss oberhausen, the kuno lange atelier, KPR, galerie sohle 1 and of course galerie143 - just to name a few.
this year has a lot in output, quality and success.
the first exhibition for 2012 is annonced today, a work on commission for leverkusen, band of twelve, see announcement below.
next highlight: dortmund based galerie143 will do a sven piayda solo show in may and june.

AESTATE have been more valid than ever before, releasing the "prov aiida ep" serving the fantastic track from superflat escorted by outstanding remixes by fellow artists. a free must have!
in april "carbonized" came out on zany music to be the follow up the superflat, carrying on the sound.
with the autumn release "remount 3.10" the group really opens their sound to post rock, surprising with guitars and drums.
"remount 3.20" is expected in 2012, also the group is about to finish another ep and they are working on album number four. more tba.
AESTATE´s live perfomances were great, playing at the new FZW and the KAUE. also a dj set brought electronica into the anyway, a big success!
future dates are in the making.

we hope to see you in 2012,
more great stuff to come up!

2011-12-12 dj kent granyon & sven piayda dj set aftermath

that´s been a blast, a short reviwew of last saturday´s performance. as scheduled for months, dj kent granyon and sven piayda did their common dj set on metal at the ANYWAY. having more records and songs than time to play, the guys did a seven hour set ending late night - or morning?!
the performnace recieved great feedback, even beacuse they did a wide interpretation of metal, so the ANYWAY as well as the djs decided to return next year with a new motto.
be prepared!

dj kent granyon about to crossfade, the guys made a great set, no pauses, actually some surprises.

the great posters were everywhere, let´s see what the new motto poster will look like, all in 2012, do not miss it!

plus: a new AESTATE live date is on schedule for 2012...tba.

last saturday, AESTATE performed at the KAUE, gelsenkirchen for FESTIVAL FREIE KULTUR. the performance appeard to be very different from the last gig in september. instead of a live guitar the guys added live camera and four projections. have a look at the live photos in the gallery section and at the snippets on facebook. more documentary material is about to be presented soon.

have a look at the exhibitions section which features all info on the work, installation views of the exhibition and some further snapshots. click here.

another small impression from the opening, dr ellen markgraf surrounded by the participating and present artists.

he show is escorted by a reader helping you to get some info on the works and artists.
this is what it says about "table dance":
Das Video zeigt in starrer Einstellung einen runden Tisch mit roter Tischdecke vor dunklem Hintergrund. Anders, als es der Titel suggeriert, beginnt nicht etwa eine Person, sondern nur die Tischdecke zu tanzen.Angelegt wie eine Faltenwurfstudie baut die fixe Grundkonstrution kinetische Energie exponentiell auf und ab. Dabei erzeugt die wechselnde Dynamik Spannung und Entspannung, jedoch eine nicht abreißende Bewegung.

later piayda added in an interview:
"this is simply the result of the medium and the content, a minimal set-up for narration. it is abstract but it contains the elementary dramatic action like in a movie. it is about rising energy to a climax and it´s fall-off."

2011-08-03 RENERT TRIO debut out now on digital kunstrasen

it is our massive pleasure to announce a new release featuring sven piayda. as we were waiting for new sounds from AESTATE, the new release is a new project with an unexpected sound.

AESTATE´s sven piayda, digital kunstrasen´s label boss meik puppe and rauschpuppe designer stephanie rausch form the new luxembourg-based lo-fi post-jazz supergroup RENERT TRIO. between impro-noise and this one unique moment of grace the debut album "BUTTERFLY TERROR" defines the group´s very own approach to post-postmodern sound far away from vanity.
the release appears experimental, combines blues and jazz, pop and percussive noise. going through the 13 tracks of the debut, you will be surprised how many different sounds you can generate with acoustic guitars.

the label info adds: the music on "butterfly terror" has come into existence without any arrangements, any notes, any rehearsals and any musical conception by one-time recording, the absence of any corrections an the fewest editing afterwards.

as the music was recorded last saturday night, it was very quickly put out by the bochum/luxembourg-based netlabel digital kunstrasen, which had already released music by meik puppe and AESTATE.
a new AESTATE EP on digital kunstrasen is scheduled for autumn.

download RENERT TRIO "butterfly terror" form digital kunstrasen, legally and free.

visit digital kunstrasen

you can listen to RENERT TRIO´s "morpho peleides" on svennet radio, next to a newly added track from AESTATE´s CARBONIZED album, the dog cirguit.
click here to listen to svennet radio.

when reporting about a new project on monday, we could not see how fast it might devellop. above you see some rare pictures from the recording session, taken by michaela best.
the group plans further releases in the future.

2011-08-01 'the great escape' nominated for nassauer kulturpreis

now that the great exhibition "zeitgenössische stadtbilder" at d-52 is over we are happy to present the next public contributions by sven piayda. the KULT-UR-INSTITUT has nominated sven piayda´s short film "the great escape" for nassauer kulturpreis. the video work is based upon old anymous super 8 family footage which was used by permission. piayda edited and rearranged the material working out the parallelity between escaping the everyday life on sunday while filming it to escape again by "traveling in time" by watching it later. the short film refers to differet stations in time and the idea of going back to escape, physacally and mentally, probably the most powerful abaility of the medium of film and video. the video features music by AESTATE.

"the great escape" will be screened among 25 further nominees at different times and venues around nassau, germany.

2011-07-24 'zeitgenössische stadtbilder' - last week & last chance

as the weather is not really remining you on the actual season, we would like to focus your attention on a current exhibition featuring works by sven piayda.
d-52 gallery in düsseldorf still shows the exhibition on contemporary views on the concept of the city. the show features next to piayda twelve national artists of different disciplines.

above you see some visitors in front of piayda´s last effort series.
the show will be open for the last week now,
the last opening dates are as following:
today 3-5 pm
next friday 5-7 pm
next sunday 3-5 pm

the list of participation artist as following:
oliver dignal, juliane duda, merle forchmann, alexandra friebel, norbert görtz, karla leonhardt, peter müller, sven piayda, roman plocharczyk, sabine rolli, guntram walter, wolfgang in der wiesche and andreas m. wiese.
installation views over at the EXHIBITIONS site.

CCTV (2010), the a collaboration piece between !mediengruppe bitnik and michaela best, is presented on a monitor in a dark room within the exhibition. the loop will be running six minutes after repeating, bring some time, it is worth the enigmatic experience and the probably boring life of the "big brother".
the work is also recently shown within the AUTOERASE video installation at galerie auf zeit in gelsenkirchen, see below.

the last effort series is also on sale, please contact the gallery or me for details, more installation views and texts over at the EXHIBITIONS site.

Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt setzt die Ausstellung mit dem Medium der Fotografie, die sich in sehr vielfältiger Weise präsentiert: Sabine Rolli benutzt die alte Technik der Cyanotypie und schafft damit eine befremdende Distanz zur Gegenwart, während Sven Piayda seine Fotografie gänzlich am Computer überarbeitet und damit auf einem technisch ganz anderen Wege die Realitätsfrage thematisiert. Großformatige Malerei ist vertreten durch Roman Plocharczyk und Andreas M. Wiese. Das Medium der Installation ist vertreten durch Karla Leonhardt und Peter Müller. Leonhardt zeigt kleine, identische Gipsmodelle von Hochhäusern, die ihre Individualität durch die partielle Bemalung erhalten. Müller greift in seinen Modellen die funktionale und billige Bauweise von Supermärkten auf und nimmt ihnen durch die Verkleinerung ihre Zweckgebundenheit.

2011-06-24 d-52 opens 'zeitgenössische stadtbilder' next friday

next friday, on july 1, the d-52 gallery in düsseldorf will open a new exhibition on contemporary views on the concept of the city. the show features next to piayda twelve national artists of different disciplines.

the show was curated by the d-52 staff, bianca bocatius, katja benner and sabine rolli.
dr. anja gerritzen is expected to do the opening speech.
the list of participation artist as following:
oliver dignal, juliane duda, merle forchmann, alexandra friebel, norbert görtz, karla leonhardt, peter müller, sven piayda, roman plocharczyk, sabine rolli, guntram walter, wolfgang in der wiesche and andreas m. wiese.

sven piayda has conrtibuted the photographic series last effort (2010) and the video work CCTV (2010), which was a collaboration piece between !mediengruppe bitnik and michaela best.

before we can offer installation views and other website features we would like to offer some texts for preparation, german version only:

Die vierteilige Serie 'Last Effort' zeigt bei Nacht mit Blitzlicht entstandenen Fotografien. Sie wirken schnappschusshaft und unheimlich, der Ort könnte sowohl verlassen als auch sonst sehr belebt sein. Auch wenn keine Personen zu sehen sind, manifestieren sie sich in der Architektur, welche sich offenbar im Kampf mit der Natur befindet, die sich vom Mensch erobertes Territorial zurückzuerobern versucht. Jener Kampf scheint noch keinen klaren Sieger hervorzubringen, jedoch mag es auf die titelgebende letzte Bemühung einer Seite hinauszulaufen. So stellt die Kleinserie die Frage nach der Ästhetik, Nachhaltigkeit und Anspruch der Architektur. Die Bildserie ist für Piayda´s Arbeiten verhältnismäßig düster ausgefallen, doch auch hier verweißt er wiederum auf des Medium selbst: Die Fotografien dokumentieren den Ort nur ausschnitthaft und haben keinen Anspruch auf seine genaue Darstellung. Jedoch berühren sie mit ihrer rauen Oberfläche und ihrer Trostlosigkeit die emotionale Ebene des Betrachters und entlarven die manipulativen Möglichkeiten des Mediums.

In Kooperation mit der !Mediengruppe Bitnik und Michaela Best fing Piayda bei 'CCTV' frei empfangbare Signale von Überwachungskameras auf. Das gefundene Material wurde nur minimal editiert und zeigt reale Überwachungsbilder. Die Omnipräsenz von Medien, speziell von Überwachungskameras und den von ihnen erzeugten Bildern spielt der Paranoia zeitgenössischer Großstädter zu, die tatsächlichen Bilder überraschen jedoch mit ihrer Banalität und Abstraktheit. Das Resultat stellt die Frage nach der Notwenigkeit der heutigen Bilderflut: "Was kann man auf den Bildern erkennen?" und "Warum gibt es sie überhaupt?"

2011-05-06 KPR PROJEKT SIEBEN opens on friday, may 13

the KUNST PERIPHERIE RUHRSTADT is an organisation which focusses on presenting art, culture and performance in the ruht aera even after the big culture hype of 2010. the next KPR project PROJEKT SIEBEN will be opened on friday, may 13 2011 at 6 pm.
the exhibition is expected to present works and positions of about 18 artists.
sven piayda will paricipate for the first time at the KPR show. according to the show´s topic, piayda will show two photographs only, mixtures of photography and computer generated imagery. he is expected to be present on friday.

on the picture above you see piayda at the KPR#6 show in november 2011. (processed with an upcoming work)

have a look at the official announcement from the KUNST PERIPHERIE RUHRSTADT (german only):

Die Kunstperipherie Ruhrstadt meldet sich mit dem Arbeitstitel „Teppiche + Ideen“ zurück um die kulturelle Landschaft auch in 2011 weiter zu bereichern. Am Wochenende vom 13.05. bis zum 15.05. werden Künstler und Kulturaktivisten in der Ahstraße in der Gelsenkirchener Innenstadt, vereint, um erneut unter Beweis zu stellen, dass die Peripherie mit Malerei, Fotografie, Installation, Lyrik und Musik einiges an Kunst und Kultur zu bieten hat. Höhepunkt ist die Künstlerlounge mit Musik und Partystimmung am Samstagabend. Eröffnet wird am Freitag um 18 Uhr mit einer Begrüßung durch Dr.Bernd A. Gülker (Kunsthistoriker).
Kunst Peripherie Ruhrstadt ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe zur Präsentation und Förderung regionaler Kunst. Ziel ist es, bildenden Künstlerinnen und Künstlern des Ruhrgebiets, auch nach den offiziellen Veranstaltungen der Kulturhauptstadt RUHR.2010 eine Plattform zu bieten. Mit diesem außergewöhnlichen Projekt wird die hiesige Kunst- und Kulturszene belebt und ein Zeichen für die Bewohner und ihre Stadt gesetzt.
Die Events finden in wechselnden Räumlichkeiten, die sich von den gewöhnlichen Ausstellungsorten, wie Museen, Galerien und Lokalen abheben, statt. Die Locations sind alleine schon durch ihre räumliche Wirkung extravagant. Die Künstler präsentieren ihre Werke dort in einem durch sie selbst dem Raum angepassten Konzept, welches durch ein adäquates Rahmenprogramm abgerundet wird.
Die Ausstellung Projekt VII umfasst mit verschiedensten ausstellenden Künstlern Malerei, Bildhauerei, Installation, Fotografie und vieles mehr. Neben Vertretern der Gelsenkirchener Kunstszene freuen wir uns auch auf Gäste aus den Nachbarstädten. Unter anderem werden Werke von Kerstin Brix (Malerei), Roger Löcherbach (Holzskulptur) und Sven Piayda (Fotografie) zu bestaunen sein. Eine komplette Liste der beteiligten Künstlerinnen und Künstler finden Sie auf unserer Homepage (www.kunst-peripherie-ruhrstadt.de).
Aber wie immer ist nicht nur ein Ausstellungsprogramm der besonderen Art gerade gut genug, auch das musikalische, kulturelle und literarische Rahmenprogramm hat einiges zu bieten: Am Freitag präsentieren wir eine Lesungs-Performane zum Musical "Mir ist die Welt abhanden gekommen" von Dirk Schattner,welches im August 2011 in Bayreuth Premiere feiert und im Anschluss den Essener Musiker Bernd Mehring.
Am Samstag treten der Bochumer Singer/Songwriter Tommy Finke und der Duisburger Pop und Bluesmusiker Maik Schneemilch auf. Danach sind alle herzlich eingeladen mit DJ Trocka eine Künstlerparty zu feiern. Die in die Ausstellung integrierte Kunst-Lounge ist der Kommunikationsbereich, Treffpunkt und Bar zugleich.
Das Projekt VII findet diesmal in der Ahstraße. 18 Gelsenkirchen/City statt.

Die Ausstellung ist Freitag ab 18:oo, Samstag und Sonntag ab 14:00 Uhr geöffnet!

2011-05-01 CARBONIZED reviewed in digital kunstrasen magazine

the current issue of the magazine of the bochum/luxembourg based netlabel digital kunstrasen features a new article on AESTATE. kevin winterberg reviews the new album CARBONIZED, even track by track. have a look yourself at the article and the full magazine. dowonload it as pdf for free fom the digital kunstrasen website, or go there directly by clicking here:

kevin winterberg should be well-know for recent svennet readers. the azalea author gave a view to his orientation when it comes to music, he contributed his top five from 2010 for the heavy rotation list. additionally he added already two remixes to AESTATE related remix releases. more to come...

AESTATE, das ambitionierte Electro-Duo, dessen experimentelle Musik man lieber selber anhören sollte statt darüber eine Kritik zu lesen, hat nun nach langer Wartezeit, die aber mit vielen fanfreundlichen Veröffentlichungen wie Gratis-EPs und Remix-Alben elegant überbrückt wurde, ihr drittes Album CARBONIZED veröffentlicht. Im Nachfolgenden werden die fat 80 Minuten Spielzeit Track by Track besprochen.

official release escorting the sven piayda´s contributions: dormancy and insomnia. both works contain next to seducing surface a complex background. the official text is only available in german:

"Sven Piayda reflektiert in "Dormancy" und "Insomina" wie auch in seinen anderen Foto- und Videoarbeiten das Medium selbst. Beide Arbeiten sind grob als Landschaftsbilder angelegt und irritieren den Betrachter durch ihre eigenwillige und ungewohnte Lichtsetzung. Bei genauerer Betrachtung erklärt sich die Irritation durch die Erwartungshaltung an das Medium der Fotografie: Das Wissen, dass ein Foto normalerweise nur die Zeitspanne eines Sekundenbruchteils dokumentiert, wird zum Wanken gebracht, denn es finden sich jeweils zwei Zeitpunkte innnerhalb eines Bildes wieder, Tag und Nacht. Sie begegnen sich in Form von Himmel und Landschaft. Somit ist das Licht in der Fotografie (also "Lichtmalerei") wieder nur Mittel zum Zweck, um nicht etwa auf sich selbst, sondern auf die Zeit zu verweisen. Ähnlich wie in seinen Videoarbeiten, welche sich oft als Fotografie mit einer zeitlichen Ebene verstehen, schlägt Piayda in "Dormancy" und "Insomnia" den Bogen zurück zum Video, indem er die dem Video zugehörige Zeitebene in die Fotografie implementiert. Auch wenn beide Arbeiten autonom voneinander produziert wurden, sind sie in ihrer Struktur verwandt, in der Idee gleich, jedoch in der Umsetzung gegenteilig.

Digitale Manipulation ist stets (wenn auch oft weniger offensichtlich) Bestandteil von Piaydas Werken, jedoch nicht als Selbstzweck, sondern als Mittel der absoluten Kontrolle über ein Bild. Diese Arbeitsweise dient zum einen als Medienkritik: Die Fotografie emanzipiert sich von der Realität. Zum anderen stellt sie ein Fenster zur Erinnerung und Emotion des Betrachters dar.

Die technische Umsetzung gestaltete sich für beide Arbeiten als aufwendiger Prozess, denn jeweils konträre Lichtsituationen sollten harmonisch zu einem Bild montiert werden. Hierbei wurde Fotomaterial verwendet, welches - wie in den Bilden zu sehen - am tatsächlichen Ort entstanden ist und den tatsächlichen Himmel über der jeweiligen Landschaft zeigt. Hierzu war ein langes Verweilen am jeweiligen Ort vonnöten und führte zu den gleichermaßen vertraut wie irritierend wirkenden Fotoarbeiten."

2011-03-04 AESTATE PROV AIIDA EP out now

when zany music released SUPERFLAT back in 2008 no-one could imagine how far it would take the group and how successul the album would become. SUPERFLAT became an impact, the group defined their very own position within the electronic music scene somewhere between idm, experimental, electronica and post rock - all in a strange way based upon pop music. having a release with a long breath, a follwow up was delayed as far as possible, the album was followed by a live DVD, a remix album and two EPs on two different labels plus remixes and single track contributions to different projects.

now the SUPERFLAT-era will be closed, a new album is scheduled for april 18 (trailer will be up within the next weeks). to celebrate the great album and end the era, zany music is releasing a full EP around one of SUPERFLAT´s most appreciated tracks:
the PROV AIIDA EP.
it features next to a short edit of the original track the chris huff remix from PATCH, further remixes by PATCH remixers as ampK, randomform and squinancywort as well as new remixes by anvers and sven piayda.
the cover features a still from the official video as produced by the group and the classic corporate writing in a slightly hidden way.

the EP will be available digitally only and is free.
please enjoy and give some feeback!

even if the KUNST PERIPHERIE RUHRSTADT gig was cancelled, the gig at the VJ CONVENTION at domicil dortmund was confirmed. additionally, AESTATE have mentioned to play at KPR#7 wehn it will be taken up.

aestate-online.com

AESTATE are recently in luxembourg to plan a new release on digital kunstrasen with label boss meik puppe. the ouput will be based upon the transformance project which was started and abandoned in 2010. the material will come up as an AESTATE release.
