HANGAR IN CAIRO
Two exhibitions are opening today, which show the results of the work carried out between Hangar and Cairo’s young artists through workshops and residencies over more than two years of tight collaboration.
Open Lab Egypt (OLE), in collaboration with Medrar, has been a programme of 2 years of workshops and master classes destined to train Egyptian artists in the use of free software and hardware applied to art practice, on which both Alex Posada and Lluis Gómez, who are technicians in Hangar, have worked. The exhibition at Hotel Viennoise in Downtown includes 6 pieces resulting from the students’ work.
El Uno y el Múltiple [The One and the Multiple] shows the works of 11 artists who participated in the exchange programmes between Spain and Egypt over the past three years, amongst which we find the Hangar Contemporary Image Collective (CIC) Grant, from Cairo, established with the aim of supporting an active local community that drives artistic and professional practices. This exhibition was shown in La Capella, between May and July of 2010, and is now in Ardellewa, from the 14th to the 28th of December.

BIKES, INTERACTIVITY, FILM, ALGORITHMIC MUSIC, GOOD FORTUNE, SYNTHS AND DANCING.
We can now say, loud and clear, that activities in Hangar are going on non-stop. After a hectic weekend, the presentation party ofl BFF, which is being carried out in Barcelona for the first time and whose screening are hosted by Hangar, will take place tonight in Sidecar.
Tomorrow Friday 10th of December, the Korean artist, Sooyoung Lee, winner of Seoul’s SAS Geumcheon and Barcelona’s Hangar exchange grant, within the framework of the international residency program supported by AECID, will present the results of her three-month residency.
And don’t think that’s all: on Monday 13th, the workshop Basic Interactivity and Electronics for Artists, taught by Alex Posada. It will finish just on time for us to go to the Cines Maldá to enjoy the first public screening of Rocío, a film by Fernando Ruiz de Vergara which is still censored today, organised by Hamaca and Blocs&docs.
Hangar will not be closing over Christmas, and we will be celebrating the winter solstice by putting our cherry on the cake with our most musical element. The series of workshops organised by l’Ull Cec will be coming to an end with a workshop by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros: Algorithms and Systems’ Music. An Introductory Seminar to Generative Systems Applied to Art and Musci in Particular which will offer a historical overview, from antiquity to the age of computers, of how algorithms and rules have been used to generate sound and musical pieces.
This weekend they will be joined by Befaco’s last workshop of the year:: Fase II: Build your Own Modular Synthesiser: Building a Ring Modulator . On this occasion, you will be able to add the possibility of mixing sounds by multiplication, instead of by addition, to your instrument. In order to do this, we will build the famous effect that is known as the "ring modulator". If all this music theory has awakened an appetite for live music, a good option would be to go to the following gig: Wau i los Arrrgs! and The Masonics, organised by La Castanya, in the Espai Jove La Fontana.
To bid farewell, this year we will invite Carsten and Paul, teachers of the Ableton Live Workshop organised by Institut Fatima in Hangar, who will do a free concert today, at the opening of the BFF exhibition in the Pinzat shop: it’s summer in Australia, something we don’t really feel in Europe. It’s springtime in Colombia, and it’s autumn in Thailand.
It’s always summer in the Institut FATIMA!
THIS WEEKEND, MUSIC, GENDER, AND NEW TECHNOLOGY
This weekend we have Generatech here again, but with an emphasis on music.
This Saturday we will begin another instalment of Fase II, this time, this time with one of their optional workshops. The optional workshops have been designed to allow people to sign up to the Fase II series of workshops once they have already started, or so that people can finish projects they started in earlier workshops.
At the same time, another workshop which started last week will be taking place in Hangar, and it appears to be the most theory-based one that l’Ull Cec have carried out so far: The Practice of Phonography and the Politics of Sound. During this seminar, we will study the social dimension of sound production and reception, a field that could be described as ‘the politics of sound’. From this perspective, the selection process of both the situation and the object of the recording is understood as significant, and raises questions about what is being recorded and listened to, and what isn’t.
Generatech will begin its activities on Friday, but they will be in Hangar on Saturday at 12:00. You may view the whole programme here.
SOOYOUNG LEE PRESENTS HER PERFORMANCE ‘SAJU’ IN CASA ASIA, FRIDAY 10TH OF DECEMBER
Hangar, together with Casa Asia, presents Saju, a performance by the Korean artist Sooyoung Lee, winner of Seoul’s SAS Geumcheon and Barcelona’s Hangar exchange grant, within the framework of the international residency program supported by AECID.
saju is a traditional Korean process that is used to tell somebody’s fortune. This model is based on "four pillars", made up of the year, month, day, and time of birth, as these are considered to be directly influential in each human being’s destiny.
The artist will install an office for telling people’s fortune in order to predict the future of anyone who wants to take part in the project.
Opening hours: mornings from 12:00 to 14:00, afternoons from 17:00 to 19:00
General presentation: 19:30
Casa Asia, Avinguda Diagonal, 373

WE ARE NOT CELEBRATING SAINT CECILIA’S DAY
This weekend we will continue being musical. On Friday 26th of November, we are hosting the last workshop of the Cargando series, organised by Producciones Doradas in Hangar: Music and Free Software, a workshop addressed to musicians and music software users that will open up new technical possibilities and creative forms through the use of new tools that have been generated and disseminated using free software.
After Ruben Patiño’s presentation on Thursday 25th, which presents the results of the first residency organised by l’Ull Cec in Hangar, we will welcome l’Ull Cec again with Phonographic Practices and the Politics of Sound, by Gilles Aubry, where we will look into the social dimensions of the production and reception of sound, an area that could be described as the politics of sound.
THIS WEEKEND IS ALL ABOUT DIY MUSIC
