Wallywoods Live Berlin Z'EV + Spastic Dementia + Fragment King



On September 13, 2008, we joined experimental percussion legend z'ev on stage. The line-up featured Marcelo Aguirre (Evil Spirit, Spastic Dementia) on drums and Alexandra (von Bolz'n) on vocals as well as Mark Kammerbauer (a.k.a. Fragment King) on treated bass guitar. We played a single, throbbing, droning, half-hour piece at Gallery Wallywoods in berlin. The set was completely improvised, with superfast blasting grindcore drums contrasted by superslow detuned bass riffage, enlivened by percussion clang and bang and guttural growls and piercing screams. Hai no banda? Im gegenteil. “The Bänd” had arrived that evening, t'banned, not canned, but with powerful release of physical acoustic force.

CRITICAL VOID Maximiliansforum Z'EV + Fragment King

Image
Critical Void is an analytical audio work based on an urbanist study of the MaximiliansForum in Munich and its planning history. By employing interviews with key individuals and document research, Z‘EV, Alexandra von Bolz'n and Mark Kammerbauer developed a site-specific audio performance and work that was performed live on site on 24.07.2013. The project was curated by the Kulturreferat of the City of Munich. This is a step-by-step documentation of the project. The location that includes the MaximiliansForum art space can be found beneath the crossing of Maximilianstrasse and Altstadtring in Munich. It has escalators that are currently in disuse. It is denominated officially as pedestrian tunnel. It is by far the largest of its kind in the city. Rumor has that original planning intended a traffic tunnel. So, what happened here? On Wednesday, 24.07.2013 at 19:00 we performed CRITICAL VOID live after a very friendly introduction by Elisabeth Hartung of the Culture Offi

THE NEW NEXIALIST TRI-HEAD LOGO

Image
The original Nexialist “Tri-Head” logo was developed in 2000. Its basis is the “Helvetica Man” symbol that was commissioned by the US Department of Transportation and produced by AIGA, the American Institute of Graphic Arts. It is oriented on previous works, such as the graphic design for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. “Helvetica Man” is part of the original 1974 series of pictograms or symbols intended to communicate facilities and functions to the public. The symbols are copyright free and intended for public use. This was part of the motivation behind creating a logo for Nexialist – it was intended to be “un-copyrightable” and hence, universal. In difference to the original “Helvetica Man” the “Tri-Head” is broader in order to accommodate three heads, with one additional head to both sides of the original, central head. The three heads were intended to represent the three core interests of Nexialist: architecture, music, text. In 2022 the “Tri-Head” was re-imagined for the 25th anni
