NO SOUL FOR SALE – A Festival of Independents will bring together 38 not-for-profit centers, alternative institutions, artists’ collectives and independent enterprises from Berlin, Milan, Dublin, Lisbon, Paris, Reykjavík, Hong Kong, Rabat, Trinidad, New York, Los Angeles, etc. that contribute to the international art scene by generating a diverse cultural programme.
Latitudes will
set up a temporary office-base camp, transposing our daily operations
while presenting our recent publications and other paraphernalia. The
office-'scenario' will be conceived by the artist group The Bruce High Quality Foundation, incorporating dining furniture from the abandoned Burger King facility on Governor's Island, where they have recently shot 'Isle of the Dead',
a zombie movie to be premiered in Fort Jay Theater during Creative
Time’s 'This World & Nearer Ones' (opening June 27, 2–4pm) as well
as in the X Initiative screening & performing area on Sunday 28th from 6pm. (+ info...)
During 'NO SOUL FOR SALE' we will also premiere '6 Hours Tide Object with Correction of Perspective' (8 mins.), the new version of a 1969 film by Dutch Conceptual artist Jan Dibbets (1941) and the inaugural project of Portscapes, the commission series taking place throughout 2009 in and around Maasvlate 2, the 2,000 hectare extension to the Port of Rotterdam.
