Signs of Change Dutch Provo Event!
Friday, October 24, 2008, 6-8pm
at Exit Art, 475 10th Ave, NY, NY,
PREMIERE SCREENING of Dutch Provo Footage
Premiere screening of newly subtitled short films and footage of the 1960s Dutch Provo movement, and book release of Richard Kempton’s Provo: Amsterdam’s Anarchist Revolt (in collaboration with Autonomedia).
Speakers include: Jordan Zinovich, Lindsay Caplan, and Janna Schoenberger
About the Book:
Provo staged political and cultural interventions into the symbolic and everyday spaces of Holland from 1962-1967. In this first book-length English-language study of their history, Richard Kempton narrates the rise and fall of Provo from early Dutch "happenings" staged in 1962 to the "Death of Provo" in 1967. This is the fourth book Autonomedia has done on Dutch social movements.
About the Video:
This compilation of Provo footage, newly translated and subtitled by Janna Schoenberger and Dennis de Lange, includes scenes from the early happenings, Dutch political life, and interviews by key members of Provo - including an interview held with Robert Jasper Grootveld on his houseboat in Amsterdam.
Speakers:
Jordan Zinovich has been associated with Autonomedia since 1986, and is currently a senior editor. He has been working on Provo for years, and since 1997 has been going repeatedly to Amsterdam to meet with members of Provo. He will discuss the renaissance of Provo going on today.
Lindsay Caplan is a member of the Autonomedia editorial collective, and a doctoral student at the Graduate Center, CUNY. Her research focuses on the intersection between art, aesthetics, and social action - an arena in which Provo is an essential and exciting example.
Janna Schoenberger is a doctoral student at the Graduate Center, CUNY. She received her master's degree in Art History from Utrecht University in the Netherlands where she lived for three years. She is currently working as a translator for the upcoming exhibition "In and Out of Amsterdam 1960-1975" at the Museum of Modern Art.
