The
Third Hand Bike Co-op will occupy the VDC this week. The non-profit
organization encourages cycling as a safe and environmentally responsible
transportation. They provide community members with the facilities and tools,
as well as the skills and knowledge to help make cycling an essential part of
their everyday lives. Come find out about who they are and what they do!
Every
Wednesday at 1pm, come check out C.CRED presents...
...a series of informal talks taking place across the virtual space that is the Internet using Skype video-conferencing technologies that allow us to link spaces in Malmo, Sweden, where the artist group C.CRED is currently based, and Franklin's VDC Copy Center in Columbus, Ohio (USA).
In Malmo, C.CRED has invited one or more friend(s) to come and have some food and drinks with them each Wednesday evening at 7pm Swedish time/1 pm in Ohio and present something: a project, a text, an idea, anything. The presentations will be streamed live to Franklin's VDC Copy Center in Columbus, Ohio.
This Wednesday, Feb 27, 1pm: (7pm in Sweden) Ola Stahl
talks about the first issue of the journal Extract and his contribution to
the issue, a reworking of a small section of piano music by French composer
Pierre Boulez.
Every
Thursday at 2pm, come see Sam Gould...
Presenting talks from Portland Oregon, Sam will also use live video-conference technology to hang out with us at the VDC!
This Thursday, Feb 28, 2pm: A Conversation with JP Jenkins and Gabriel Mindel-Saloman on their continued interest in the book Art and Fear. Sam and his six month old Louis will travel across town to JP and Gabriel's apartment, located above Portland's venerable City Bike's Co-op. They will share a late breakfast with one another, and share their ideas concerning art making, "good & bad" art, and its relation to our lives as active beings - artists and non-artists alike.
[OPEN EIGHT TRACK] This Saturday March 1 at 6pm marks the first installment of Franklin's VDC Copy Center's [OPEN EIGHT TRACK]. During these events, the space will exist as an open recording forum and studio. Microphones and a digital 8 track will be provided. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come in and record their voice, stories, sounds, and if compelled bring a guitar or keyboard and record songs. A combination of 1920's talking box recording stations and the more modern Storycorps with a mission of recorded oral history, [OPEN EIGHT TRACK] is an opportunity for anyone to leave behind an audio record of themselves. In conjunction with these events, a mix cd of the night's recordings will be made available at the VDC Copy Center and samples will also be posted on the VDC website.
