What is Forté

Forté is a sound magazine. The online magazine's home-screen welcomes you with a voice asking 'Can you see me?' Forté requires its listeners to employ their imagination, their intellect and their intuition. Forté’s authors reflect upon their views without apology. Each issue of Forté delivers new facets of reality, and its chaotic beauty, while allowing its listeners to create their own image of the cosmos. Every three months an issue is available through podcast subscription, offering subjects that a printed magazine would, though with described images and narrated instead of read. The Forté listeners can download every issue and they are free to copy and distribute it in their own manner. [click on the image]

WHAT IS SALOON ?

SALOON was created in 2008. It's an on going attempt for performative curatorial subversions, a nomadic project that focuses on moments of metamorphosis and paradox. Through several individual events, in various locations specifically chosen for the works presented, SALOON brings together two artists, two individual works for a performance that will use the works as tools/elements for the Saloon act.

SALOON creates slides and video promo projections, jpg posters sent by email, reflecting the uncanny state of management, doubling and transference.

WE ARE AN IMAGE FROM THE FUTURE/The Greek Revolt of December 2008

What causes a city, then a whole country, to explode? How did one neighborhood's outrage over the tragic death of one teenager transform itself into a generalized insurrection against State and capital, paralyzing an entire nation for a month? This is a book about the murder of fifteen-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos, killed by the police in the Exarchia neighborhood of Athens on December 6th, 2008, and of the revolution in the streets that followed, bringing business as usual in Greece to a screeching, burning halt for three marvelous weeks, and putting the fear of history back into the bureaucrats of Fortress Europe and beyond. We Are an Image From the Future delves into the December insurrection and its aftermath through interviews with those who witnessed and participated in it, alongside the communiqués and texts that circulated through the networks of revolt. It provides the on-the-ground facts needed to understand these historic events, and also dispels the myths activists outside of Greece have constructed around them. What emerges is not just the intensity of the riots, but the stories of organizing and solidarity, the questions of strategy and tactics: a desperately needed examination of the fabric of the Greek movements that made December possible.[click on the image]
