Dan working with Club Real on Beyond Nature
It’s the year of performing in other people’s work this year. After both of us having a wonderful time developing Fremdgehen with Sabine Zahn in the Summer, Dan has been asked to act as an English guide for two of Club Real’s events around their Parliament of Organisms, Beyond Nature. The first event was the opening and first sitting of the Parliament of Organisms in Osloer Str on 9 September and more recently, there was the People’s Judicial Proceedings at Ballhaus Ost on 3 November. Keep an eye out on Club Real’s web site (link above) for forthcoming dates.

Sophia’s video in Neuer Kunstraum Düsseldorf
Sophia’s video How I loved you until I could no longer see you is part of the group show Intimität in der Medienkunst, curated by imai at the Neuer Kunstraum in Düsseldorf. The exhibition runs from 6 September – 13 October, 2019
Sophia presents her research at HZT
As part of Sophia’s forthcoming PhD by publication, she would like to share with you her reading and thinking though theories of the everday that relate to her ongoing practice of personal data collecting. Borrowing such terms as endotic from Georges Perec and expanding upon what Michel De Certeau thought an urban text might look like, she considers the implication for creating works in the twenty-first century with such digital data as GPS and SMS. Moderated by Bettina Knaup
Tuesday 9th July, 18:00, Uferstudios, Studio 8, Uferstr. 23, 13357 Berlin. Free Entrance
Fremdgehen
We are delighted to be involved in a unique psychogeographic, choreographic performance ‘Fremdgehen’, initiated by Sabine Zahn. Sophia and I will be performing with Arantxa Martinez and Joshua Rutter. Also involved in the project are Andrea Keiz and Benoît Verjat. Fremdgehen will run twice a day (11am and 1pm) on 2-4 July and 5-8 August.
Here’s an excerpt from the flyer:
Fremdgehen comprises four choreographic city duets each made together with an unknown companion in the area around Anhalter Bahnhof. You are invited to subtly shift your own viewpoint through movement and physical communication. Fremdgehen tests how much playfulness the daily life of this neighbourhood allows.
Tickets: 14 EUR from eventbrite

Nearness — New Sound and Performance Works, December 9 2018, 7pm
Ausland, Lychener Str. 60, 10437 Berlin
Entry: Sliding scale: €4–€8
Nearness (Nähe) is an evening of new works by two artist duos — plan b (Sophia New and Daniel Belasco Rogers) and Kovács/O’Doherty. plan b will present Together/Apart, a performative lecture and live video work, and Kovács/O’Doherty will present 1–100, a process-based spatialised sound work. The event is presented as part of Place Rhythm. Pulse, the ausland series focusing on performance, sound, and presence, organised and curated by Gretchen Blegen.
The works of both artist duos presented at this event share a common concern with the thematic core of nearness. Both works consider the possibilities of proximity and commonality — of matching without lining up, of the difference between the identical and the adjacent.
