CTM Studio Session 04: The Transitors Tour – Sound Art
Activism and
Migrant
Resistance

ULTRA-RED [INT] 'B L O K 7 0'

In June 2004, Los Angeles-based sound artists
Ultra-red, Rutvica
Andrijasevic of
the feminist network NextGENDERation and Manuela
Bojadzijev of the
German
anti-racist network Kanak Attak on their way to a
research project in
Belgrade,
Serbia, did a stop-over in Berlin to inform about the
project in a
joint
transmediale/club transmediale-Salon at the former
Podewil. Now they
return to
Berlin with a performance to present the results of
the journey before
participating at the Transit Migration exhibit and
conference at the
Kunstverein in Cologne on November 10.

Ultra-red recorded hours of interviews and site
recordings
investigating changes
to Serbian migration policies. With the 2004 expansion
of the European
Union
into Eastern Europe, peripheral states like Greece,
Turkey and Serbia
have come
under pressure to adopt new laws preventing migrants
from entering the
Western
European states. Ultra-red's performance BLOK70
listens in on the
places in the
city of Belgrade where, in the words of Elliot
Perkins, migrants
"conduct their
politics" -- from Chinese merchants in New Belgrade's
discount
emporium,
asylum-seekers at the 1000 Roses Motel in the
Southeastern limits of
the city,
to the suburban village of Ledine where recently
repatriated Roma
families
struggle to come to terms with their forced
deportations from Germany.

Combining electroacoustic music, shuffling rhythms and
press-conference
polemics, BLOK70 will be performed by Ultra-red
members Rutvica
Andrijasevic,
Manuela Bojadzijev, Elliot Perkins and Dont Rhine.
