welcome

Welcome to TodaysArt 2009

We are very proud to present our conict-inspired program, the culmination of many
months hard work and dedication, and honored to welcome the artists, partners,
allies, guests and visitors who make this event possible.

For us, no one captures the essence of our theme better than M. Esther Harding, a
Jungian psychoanalyst, who said, conict is the beginning of consciousness, and
it was around this broad idea that our program was built. We invited artists from a
multitude of genres and we are proud to be able to present many unique produc-
tions and exclusive performances as well as projects that celebrate the conicts
within us all.

Conict became a reality for us, even leading to forced imprisonment and interroga-
tions. We were unexpectedly and rudely forced into consciousness regarding our
own theme. We are interested in the fact that any expression surrounding the theme
Conict is subject to many interpretations in our current society, especially consider-
ing our turbulent and open media landscape. It turns out the parameters determin-
ing what is acceptable and what is not are at best vague, and perhaps questionable.
TodaysArt 2009 was never about inciting conict, but always about simply drawing
attention to the subject. The fact that our campaign was interpreted as a serious
threat underlines the necessity for a debate, and productive input. We are inviting
you to an open discussion about this subject at TodaysArt 09.

From all of us and our allies, we wish you a great festival and hope that this years
program offers you new insights, experiences and inspiration.

Reading guide

In front of you is the program book for TodaysArt 2009. The bios of the artists at each
location are grouped according to how the acts relate to each other. In that sense,
the program book tries to tell a story about different views on conict from different
artists at each location.

The program book also contains a series of statements about this years theme, Con-
ict. In addition to exploring the theme itself, some of these features provide extra
information about the artists. You can nd general information about the festival at
the back of the program book. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer
them at the ticket shop on the Spuiplein.

The Hague e is known as the International City of Peace and Justice. Conict, one could
say, is thee opposite
pposite of peace, so why would
op w TodaysArt choose conict this year to
characterize

he city and as a theme for its festival? It could perhaps be because of
the obvious

re peace without there rst having been conict. We

coonict as a negative, yet it c
can also be seen as something positive. In the
art world foror instance a period of conict is usually a period of artistic growth in which

Perhaps the conicting expressions during the festi-
val will also
so give
als give birth to a new genre or, dare we think it, even a new Mondriaan?

Can we also characterize the city of The Th Hague as a city of conict? There is a di-
chotomy in n our population that could pe perhaps fuel the idea. The Hague is tradition-
ally known n as s a city of top hats and ca caps, in Dutch hoeden en petten. The citys

The Hague e is aiming to be the Cultural Capital

C of Europe in 2018. To achieve this, the
strategy
egy would perhaps be to embrace

give free reign

you are the conductor of a virtual

instruments: vocals, bass, drums

volume as well as the pattern of
each instrument to create engag-

Everyday wewe consume numerous texts a and images that represent ongoing conicts
and disputes.. Although not too conscio

something about

The problem

ence of a we western
estern recipient is always q questionable. In one way or another we are
inuenced d byy our roots. And so it is that for the Western world, most representations
of western n popower
ower have a trustworthy con connotation. One might not support certain po-
litical or social
soociaal convictions, but the basic
basi vocabulary that represents Western power
is common n ground. Consciously or subc subconsciously we simply know how to interpret
most signs a and

The Hague is actively marketing itself this s way. For the average Wes Western

Some of the most powerful music on the planet has come from the effectsefffec

The trans-Atlantic slave trade itself was an incredibly orderly process, much to the

by simply turning off their radios. By going from
