flashback.    at valentine’s day

Bernard Gottschalk, que raramente parava, soltou a mochila Armani sobre o sofá de couro marrom. Não estava atrasado [nunca estava] mas, estava com pressa. A viagem de última hora para um evento em Galway havia pego o publicitário completamente de surpresa, fazendo com que o mesmo tivesse de resolver todos os detalhes do jantar por telefone. Seria justificável e certamente tranquilo conversar com Annie [sua Megara] sobre remarcar a refeição que haviam combinado, contudo, algo assim nunca fora do feitio de Bern. Fora por isso que durante os quarenta e cinco minutos que seguiram até o momento em que, pontualmente, ele tocou a campainha do apartamento da mulher, ele conseguira tomar um banho, arrumar o cabelo, selecionar a roupa que iria usar, retirar o lamborghini huracan prata da garagem e estacioná-lo frente ao prédio, subir até o andar da mesma e esperar tranquilamente, após o toque, a porta ser aberta.

Press Release:

Commissioned by the Beth Sholom Synagogue Preservation Foundation, David Hartt’s exhibition The Histories (Le Mancenillier) marks the first time that an artist has activated Beth Sholom’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed National Historic Landmark in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. Comprising contrasting media—from orchids and tapestries to hi-resolution video screens and quadraphonic sound— the exhibition explores histories of Jewish and Black diasporas in the United States and considers how the American cultural landscape is shaped by ethnic, economic, and religious migration. Hartt is interested in synthetic ideas of culture, in which “the voice, agency, geography, and temporality of others collude to produce a more compelling version of the world.”

Throughout much of his practice, which includes photography, video, sculpture, and installation, Hartt investigates the interplay between ideology, the built environment, and the communities that shape and are shaped by these concepts. Typically, Hartt begins a project by identifying a particular idea (for example, sovereignty or late capitalism) and subsequently locates a site through which he can complicate and spatialize the idea. This commission began with a specific building, reversing the artist’s usual approach. Rather than focus on the architecture, however, Hartt was drawn instead to the broader history of Beth Sholom Congregation and its relationship to the urban development of greater Philadelphia.

Founded in 1919, Beth Sholom Congregation’s first building was located at the intersection of North Broad Street and West Courtland Street in north Philadelphia’s Logan neighborhood. In the early 1950s, reflecting a nationwide trend of postwar suburbanization, the Congregation began to relocate to Elkins Park and commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design an “American synagogue” that aligned the Jewish experience with broader aspects of American culture and democratic ideals. The Logan building was sold and has since become the home of Beloved St. John Evangelistic Church, a congregation serving what is now a predominantly African- American community. The relationship between these two congregations led Hartt to consider the constant movement of Black and Jewish communities as a result of political, economic, and social currents.

Music plays a significant role in Hartt’s work, animating both his films and the physical environment of his installations. For this commission, Hartt has selected the music of 19th-century American composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk as a cipher for the cultural histories at play in the exhibition. Born in New Orleans in 1829 to a Jewish father and a Creole mother, Gottschalk studied performance in Paris and was a contemporary of Frédéric Chopin. His internationally recognized compositions were the first to incorporate African- American and Afro-Caribbean vernacular song within a classical idiom—a hybrid approach that anticipated ragtime and jazz by more than 50 years. The parenthetical title of the exhibition, Le Mancenillier (the manchineel), is the name of a sweet but poisonous tropical plant that also titles an early Creole-influenced work by Gottschalk. Hartt considers the plant to be anti-colonial in that an arrow dipped in the sap of the manchineel is said to have killed Ponce de Leon, the conquistador who led the first European expedition to what is now Florida.

In an effort to address the contemporary moment and assert the productive movement of cultures, Hartt invited Ethiopian pianist Girma Yifrashewa to reinterpret the work of Gottschalk as the score for the exhibition. Classically trained in Bulgaria and based in Addis Ababa, Yifrashewa is an advocate of classical music in Africa whose own compositions are similarly hybrid, blending Ethiopian and European musical sources. Hartt also invited Philadelphia-based Haitian baritone Jean Bernard Cerin to organize a series of live musical activations featuring Jewish, Caribbean, and African-American compositions from the 19th and early 20th centuries. These events—many of which will feature a pianist and a vocalist—will be broadcast throughout the synagogue via an elaborate microphone that is mounted to a laser-cut brass stand designed by Hartt. Both Yifrashewa’s recordings of Gottschalk and the live activations will create an ambient environment throughout the synagogue’s interior.

Drawing on the visual idiom of the 19th- century landscape painter Martin Johnson Heade, whose paintings of orchids and hummingbirds bore a subtle affinity with the abolitionist movement, Hartt shot digital video and photography in New Orleans and Haiti, reinvestigating the vernacular presence of Caribbean culture in Gottschalk’s music. The images are used in one of two large-scale Jacquard-woven tapestries, both of which subtly change the geometry and sonic properties of the rooms. Large freestanding video monitors act as portals that superimpose distant landscapes onto the space, oscillating between two cultures and locations.

For Hartt, these historically-inflected works sidestep anachronism by adopting a “post-human” sensibility through the use of a drone-operated camera. The unblinking perspective adopts the aesthetics of surveillance technology. Formally, moreover, Hartt is indebted to conceptual artist Michael Snow’s La Région Centrale (1971), a film made with an automated camera that moved in multiple directions while recording a remote landscape in Northern Quebec.

Hartt has created additional site-responsive elements that complement the building’s interior as well as the peculiarities of its structure. A selection of live tropical plants have replaced the Congregation’s customary artificial plantings throughout the building, and an arrangement of orchids captures leaking rainwater in the main sanctuary. Additionally, imagery of orchids made in the artist’s studio is incorporated into the film-based works and one of the large tapestries. Hartt understands this flower as a diasporic plant, since its unconventional roots attach themselves non-parasitically to various pre-existing organic frameworks.

The Histories (Le Mancenillier) is the first in a cycle of works by Hartt that borrows its title from the Greek historian Herodotus’ foundational history of Western culture. Replete with allegorical descriptions of regime changes, trade routes, and daily life during the 5th century BC, Herodotus’ text provides a model onto which Hartt transposes the United States and the Caribbean in the 19th century. In the artist’s words, his work demonstrates “the criss-crossed fault lines of empire, post- colonial contraction, and revolution that continue to haunt the physical and psychic infrastructure of today.” By layering the tropics within Beth Sholom, The Histories (Le Mancenillier) contends with ideas about culture, migration, and the environment, and it reflects on the site’s capacity to hold a generous, porous, and speculative concept of community.

  Test unter Wettbewerbsbedingungen: Dieter Depping und der Polo GTI R5 bei der AvD-Sachsen-Rallye

• Comeback: Dieter Depping und Copilot Timo Gottschalk gemeinsam zurück im Cockpit • Zielsetzung: zusätzliche Testkilometer im Renntempo für das Kundensport-Fahrzeug • Herausforderung: anspruchsvolle Asphalt-Prüfungen rund um Zwickau

Testfahrten im Renntempo: Volkswagen Entwicklungsfahrer Dieter Depping (Wedemark) und Copilot Timo Gottschalk (Rheinsberg) treten mit dem Polo GTI R5 bei der AvD-Sachsen-Rallye (24./25. Mai) an, um mit dem 200 kW (272 PS) leistenden Allradler zusätzliche Erkenntnisse für den Einsatz auf Asphalt-Strecken zu sammeln. Dieter Depping gewann die Deutsche Rallye-Meisterschaft in den Jahren 1992, 1993 und 1994 und startete später mit Timo Gottschalk unter anderem bei der Rallye Dakar. Der 52-jährige Depping fungiert seit vielen Jahren als Testfahrer für sämtliche Renn- und Rallye-Fahrzeuge von Volkswagen Motorsport. „Der Polo GTI R5 wird von unseren Kunden weltweit bei unterschiedlichsten Bedingungen eingesetzt“, sagt Volkswagen Motorsport Direktor Sven Smeets. „Bei Testfahrten können wir viele verschiedene Beanspruchungen simulieren, aber im echten Wettbewerb kommt es oft zu ganz anderen Situationen, Fragestellungen und Herausforderungen. Daher haben wir uns dazu entschieden, die Rallye in Sachsen als Test unter Wettbewerbsbedingungen zu absolvieren. Es geht in erster Linie um zusätzliche Erkenntnisse zum Einsatz des Polo GTI R5 auf Asphalt.“ Der Polo GTI R5 ist das Kundensport-Fahrzeug von Volkswagen für den Rallyesport, das auf dem Polo GTI für die Straße basiert und sowohl in der FIA Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft (WRC) als auch in zahlreichen nationalen Championaten startberechtigt ist. Dazu zählt auch die Deutsche Rallye-Meisterschaft (DRM) mit der AvD-Sachsen-Rallye als zweitem Lauf, der auf anspruchsvollen Asphalt-Wertungsprüfungen rund um Zwickau ausgetragen wird. Depping und Gottschalk seit Jahren ein Team Depping und Beifahrer Gottschalk sind ein eingespieltes Team: Für Volkswagen fuhren sie gemeinsam zuletzt 2009 die Rallye Dakar im Race Touareg und saßen im Anschluss bei der Entwicklung des Polo R WRC und des Polo GTI R5 gemeinsam im Cockpit. „Ich habe mit dem Polo Tausende Testkilometer absolviert. Unser Kundensport-Fahrzeug jetzt auch im Wettbewerb zu fahren, ist eine große Ehre für mich“, so Depping. Einen kleinen Teil der insgesamt zwölf Wertungsprüfungen (Gesamtlänge 148,34 Kilometer) kennt der Niedersachse bereits – 2012 bot er den Fans im „Dakar“-Sieger Race Touareg als Vorausfahrzeug außerhalb der Wertung beste Unterhaltung. „Natürlich liegt unser Fokus auf dem detaillierten Testprogramm, das wir während der Rallye abarbeiten werden“, blickt Depping voraus. „Trotzdem bin ich sehr gespannt, wie wir uns gegen die anderen Teams in der Deutschen Rallye-Meisterschaft schlagen werden. Da die Rallye vor den Toren des Volkswagen Werkes in Zwickau gefahren wird, hoffen wir natürlich auf die Unterstützung der heimischen Fans!“ Unter den Konkurrenten ist auch ein Kunde von Volkswagen Motorsport. Das belgische Team BMA um Teamchef Bernard Munster setzt erstmals einen Polo GTI R5 für den Niedersachsen Christian Riedemann und Beifahrer Michael Wenzel ein.

Na letošním ročníku rallye Dakar byl včera volný den, kdy závodníci nabírali síly na druhou půlku dakarského závodu a mechanici naopak jeli na plné obrátky, aby závodní motorky, auta, čtyřkolky, buggy a kamiony dostali opět pokud možno do perfektního stavu.

Někdy se to podaří, jindy ne. Pojďme se ale v přiloženém videu podívat na to, jaká auta to i díky svému technickému stavu i šikovnosti posádky dotáhla v uplynulých letech na ty nejvyšší příčky v celkovém hodnocení. Ve více než pěti minutách se můžeme podívat na to, jak se měnily závodní speciály v průběhu 41 ročníků legendárního závodu.

V Rallye Paříž-Dakar, respektive Rallye Dakar zaznamenalo nejvíce vítězství Mitsubishi. Od roku 1979 až do roku 2007 se jezdilo z Evropy (původně právě z Paříže do senegalského Dakaru) do afrického Dakaru, v roce 2008 byl závod z bezpečnostních důvodů těsně před startem zrušen a v dalším roce už se jelo v jižní Americe, kde se jezdí dodnes. Po stopách původního dakarského závodu se však jede závod i dnes: Africa Eco Race. V závěsu jsou Peugeot, který vládl posledním třem ročníkům, Citroën, MINI a Volkswagen. Ostatně na kompletní tabulku vítězů se můžete podívat níže (zdroj: Wikipedia).

Po polovině závodu a páté etapě je zatím v čele Násir al-Attíja s Toyotou. Na druhém místě je Stéphane Peterhansel a na třetím Nani Roma, oba s MINI.
