Roboexotica Special

The flat hierarchies of talk shows are about as
subversive as NYC Democrats smoking dope. But
count us out! We won't produce a talk show. Nope.
We produce a TAUGSHOW! Which means: we dig it.
Our guests are geeks, heretics, and other
coevals. A joyful bucket full of good clean
fanaticism, crisis, language, culture,
self-content, identity, utopia, mania and
despair, condensed into the well known cultural
technique of a prime time TV show.
Location: dietheater/Konzerthaus, Lothrinerstrasse, Vienna.

/// V. VALE
In 1977, Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti
each gave V. Vale, a clerk at City Lights
Bookstore, $100 to begin publishing "SEARCH &
DESTROY," now called by Jello Biafra "the best
punk magazine ever, combining in-depth
interviews, lists and reference material with
artist's photographs and layout." After eleven
issues in a tabloid format, V. Vale launched
Adolescent Records and then was the first
American hired to start Rough Trade Records
U.S.A. He subsequently convinced Rough Trade
founder Geoff Travis to back the first issues of
"RE/Search" (a pun on Search & Destroy). After
three "RE/Search" tabloids, Vale's publishing
took a turn towards a book format, beginning with
a ground-breaking, still-classic issue featuring
William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Throbbing
Gristle. Other early books published by Vale
include Mike Bloomfield's, "Me and Big Joe,"
Kathy Acker's "Great Expectations," and Terry
Wilson & Brion Gysin's "Here To Go." At the same
time, RE/Search began producing videos, music
compilation CDs, and live events and concerts.
The RE/Search series includes the "Industrial
Culture Handbook" (just re-issued in a beautiful,
limited edition hardback), four books involving
J.G. Ballard (two recently: "J.G. Ballard
Quotes," and "J.G. Ballard Conversations"), two
books involving PRANKS, "Incredibly Strange
Films" and "Incredibly Strange Music," the
ground-breaking "Modern Primitives" (credited
with "launching" the tattoo/body modification
movement), and other volumes of noir historian
author Daniel P. Mannix, noir writer Charles
Willeford, Wanda von Sacher-Masoch of Graz,
Austria, and others. RE/Search's latest book is
"PRANKS 2." RE/Search is currently producing a
series of one-hour interview videos and has
finished 20 episodes for San Francisco television
(one of which features monochrom founder Johannes
Grenzfurthner from Vienna, Austria). RE/Search
principals V. Vale and Marian Wallace will be
documenting the RoboExotica Conference, December 2006 for their video series.

/// OLIVER HANGL
Oliver Hangl was born 1968 in Grieskirchen,
Austria. Hangl, who originally startet his career
as actor and stage designer in 1993, is just as
active in performative disciplines and medial
spaces as he is in classical fine arts exhibition
sites. His current works, which are not tied to
one medium, are marked by breaks in reality,
doublings, and in between realms. Hangl is
involved in a broad range of activites, in which
he frequently switches between the positions of
artist, actor, producer and/or director.

/// LA TRINCHERA
La Trinchera (the trench) is an Austrian-Mexican
sound and projection collective based in Mexico
City. La Trinchera found its beginnings in the
First "Festival of Improvisation" staged in
Mexico City, february 2004. Since then, La
Trinchera has operated as generator of impulses,
as a "free fire zone" and as a call to
experimentation. Risking the clash of individual
creative spirit in the immediacy of a visual
situation, La Trinchera has successfully brought
together more than 20 artists of many diverse
world views. Four of them are guests at
monochroms taugshow: Rafael Balboa (handmade 16mm
film-loops), Manuel Trujillo (handmade 16mm
film-loops), Aisel Wicab (handmade slides), Doris
Steinbichler (overhead projector).
