TERRE THAEMLITZ (JP) // LOVEBOMBTHU 22 APRIL // 19h30 // MNAC

A/V presentation + Q&A
Queer theorist, house maven and abstract audio scientist, Rokolectiv’s special guest Terre Thaemlitz will open this year’s festival with an audio-video presentation of his Lovebomb project. On 2003’s Lovebomb released on Mille Plateaux, Thaemlitz deconstructed love songs and political texts, recontextualizing the meaning of love by examining how it’s used in the destruction of humanity.
Terre’s lecture is a critical analysis of the destructive functions of spirituality, religion and “soul” in the music marketplace: “The beat. The global dancefloor. What a senseless territorial claim. Like any other nation, the House Nation uses a barrage of “love” samples to drown out financial rip-offs, sour deals, embezzlement, exploitation, drugs and organized crime. I do not mean to imply all venue owners, promoters, organizers, performers or others are criminal minded. To the contrary, I submit myself to the generosity and thoughtfulness of many good persons motivated by their various visions of community building. But like taking a controlled substance, the pleasuring vision quest is complicit with an act of imprisoning corruption. The club scene’s deafening plea to “love one another” cannot be separated from the muffled ambiance of happenings behind closed doors.” www.comatonse.com/writings/lovebomb
