Ben Russell—filmmaker, artist, curator—challenges conventions of documentary representation from within to produce intense, hypnotic, and, at times, hallucinating experiences.

ANTIDORON
The EMST Collection presents a selection of the EMST’s permanent collection in the Fridericianum, the birthplace of documenta and the first public museum in Europe. It negotiates concepts such as sharing, offering Antidoron (αντίδωρον, literally the return of a gift) or Antidanion (αντιδάνειo, the return of a loan either linguistic, cultural, or nancial). The prefix “anti” reveals a distinct position and consequently a view, not necessarily opposed to, but departing from a different point in order to communicate, to argue, to bridge, to converge, and to accept each others’ stances.

Some impressions from our piano #concert from last Friday: Cornelius Cardew, *Thälmann Variations* and *We Sing For The Future!* and Frederic Rzewski, *Songs of Insurrection*
In the late 1960s, American composer and pianist Frederic Rzewski befriended experimental composer Cornelius Cardew, one of the founders of the renowned experimental music ensemble Scratch Orchestra. By the early 1970s, Cardew had become a Communist who applied his political views to his compositions. Remarking on the profound influence of Cardew on his work, in a 1997 interview with The New York Times, Rzewski commented, “Cardew wrote pieces that were convincing demonstrations of what could be done by using a tonal language with which large numbers of people were familiar to communicate advanced political ideas.” This influence, combined with Rzewski’s experiences as a member of Musica Elettronica Viva (MEV) starting in 1966 in Rome, led to Rzewski writing compositions that increasingly reflected his political concerns.

Rasheed, born in Karachi in 1935, was much appreciated as founding editor and moving spirit of Third Text, that feisty journal of critical writing and decolonizing culture. To find, support, and spur on emerging voices was simply one of the things he routinely did; as obvious and endearing as cooking a meal for a stranger.
