Hosted by Diana Ozon, writer, poet and amsterdam underground goddess. Dates & times to be announced

20:00 - 20:00: Geldershoofd Amsterdam Zuid-Oost	Installation Packing Geldershoofd by Archeopteryx Handle with care The art group Archeopteryx from Izhevsk (Russia) proposes to execute their project PACKING on the blind façade of one of the large High-rises of the Bijlmer district (Amsterdam South East), called “Geldershoofd”. The high-rise will disappear within a few years as part of an urban restructuring plan. The original idea of the Package action was to mark 9-storey housing blocks (the traditional Russian standardised housing "boxes") in various Russian cities with giant painted protection labels, normally used on transport boxes. The traditional meaning of these labels is apparently projected onto the residents inside these “boxes”, urging to protect the people inside: DO NOT WET, DO NOT BREAK, HANDLE WITH CARE.
20:00 - 23:00: Balie Grote Zaal	Panel/debate 9/11 Opening program As a prologue to the festival the centre for culture and politics De Balie hosts the opening program of Next 5 Minutes 4 on Thursday September 11. The symbolism of this date is inescapable. On September 11 2002 a debate was organised in the very same spot under the title “One year after”, reflecting on the media representation of 9/11 and its significance for tactical media. The debate marked the start of the preparation process for N5M4 and the series of Tactical Media Labs. Now, another year later, we want to reflect not on the events of 9/11 themselves, but on their effects in the United States, but especially outside of the US.
