The Elegy of A Man and His Weapon of Choice: The Hyperbolic Alpha Male

72-13, 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Road, S239007

24.05.2007 Thu 08.00pm till 25.05.2007

By Rizman Putra, a Creative-in-Residence of 72-13 SCAN in collaboration with Zulkifle Mahmod and Robert Guth.

This multi-disciplinary presentation is an exploration of masculinity, self-identity and the political issues surrounding them; it investigates the hypothesis of a man’s journey into his ego.

Working with collaborating artists, Robert Guth and Zulkifle Mahmod, Rizman’s H.A.M, consists of installation, video projection, sound exploration, voice and movement. This is a work-in-progress.

“….. in the context of the Hyperbolic Alpha Male series, the body acts as a depiction. The burlesque act of performance is not a degradation but rather serves to question the role of men in social strata. My intention is to interlace the perception of an alpha male with a range of foolishness as a form of discontent. ” — Rizman Putra, a President’s Young Talent, 2005

24 & 25 May 2007, 8pm nightly at 72-13.

For those interested in painting

Dear Dominic,

 

Thanks for your interest but I can’t have a group of student in there from foundation in the painting class.  One student has asked me and I will CONSIDER it but he must be able to come to both classes every week and we have not made it for sure. I am out of town and will speak to him when I get back.

 

You can take painting next year for sure!

 

Prof Kelly

Volunteering in Dec (with allowances of course)

Hi Dominic

Thanks for taking time off for the chit chat yesterday.  

As mentioned, I have attached some details below on the interactive multimedia production entitled Day of the Figurines by Blast Theory.

The production – Day of the Figurines by Blast Theory  will be held from 11am – 9pm daily from 6 -24 Dec 06. There will be 2 shifts per day from 10am – 4pm, 4pm – 10pm.  The level of commitment is to be available for the training by the UK artists from 1 -5 Dec 06.  After that, we hope the volunteers are able to commit to the entire duration, if not at least half of it.

Meals will be provided and allowances are provided based on the hours serviced.

We will need 2 IT Operators at any one time during the game opening hours.  Therefore, about 2-4 per day.  If you and your friends are keen to be part of the team, they can also be the Programme Facilitators for the game – introducing people on how to play the game etc.

Day of the Figurines will be the world’s first MUC (Multi User Domain) for mobile phones and players can participate by sending text messages and updates can be viewed over the website specially programmed for the production. You can find out more details at  http://www.blasttheory.co.uk/
