Bungee April Agenda

Flyer designed by Shuyu Peng

        Join us for a special event at Bungee Space on Wednesday, April 17th, at 7pm, for the U.S launch of FLEE Project's latest collective work, the transdisciplinary object: "Ulyap: Beyond Circassian Tradition." Led by co-founders Alan Marzo and Olivier Duport, this evening will feature a captivating presentation and listening session, followed by Q&A.

        In 2021, FLEE Project embarked on a remarkable journey after meeting Nalchik-based music journalist Bulat Khalilov. Inspired by his tales of a unique musical genre from the North Caucasus, the collective set out to explore the roots of this vibrant tradition. Their expedition took them across the Caucasus to interview local musicians, researchers, and characters, culminating in their discovery of Ulyap, a village steeped in the rich heritage of this festive music. Three years later, FLEE Project presents their findings in a transdisciplinary object, including essays, artworks, and unpublished photographs, capturing the essence of life in this captivating (post)Soviet underworld.

        Let's Talk Books with Edition Patrick Frey!

        Gloria Wismer and Stephanie Rebonati—who both have been with the independent Swiss publisher for more than a decade—are bringing mini book performances to Bungee Space. Together with their local collaborators they will speak on urban happenstance, textile design for covers, graphic novels turning into artists' books and what trust has to do with making photo books.

        Join us on April 23, 2024, Tuesday at 6:30 PM for the book release of D for Daughter by Swedish Artist Elina Birkehag, published by Spector Books. This book engages in a dialogue with a rarely studied writing system, connecting it to contemporary themes such as knowledge sharing, gossip, ecology, labor, and art. In conjunction with NYABF 2024, we are delighted to host this event, offering attendees the opportunity to view and read the book at Bungee Space, following with a conversation by the artist Elina Birkehag, the book designer Laslo Strong, and the publisher Anne König from Spector Books.
