The Greatest Recursive Disco Medley Night In The World
Tonight there will be a very special program in the large project space at Piet Zwart, starting at 20.30. It will be an evening completely dedicated to the disco medley as an artform and the way it constitutes a prelude to recursive postmodern culture. The disco medley was a popular vehicle at discotheques at the end of the 1970s and is an interesting form of systematic appropriation from the 20th century. Tonight we will try to make sense of it all!
The evening will consist of:
1. A short introduction by none other than Niek Hilkmann on the disco medley as the high point of low culture in the Netherlands, focussing on artists such as Stars on 45 and Theo Vaness. Besides that we will consider it in connection to what some people might define as retromania and shuffle culture.
2. A screening of Brian de Palma's 1974 'masterpiece': Phantom of the Paradise.
3. Afterparty where 120bpm disco medley's will be spinned. DJ's can apply from now on!
