We Are Gypsies Now
 
Wie ist das, wenn man seine Wohnung auflöst, auf unbestimmte Zeit auf Reisen geht, und dabei den großen Sinnfragen des Lebens nicht aus dem Weg geht? Picciotto hat es mit weiblich verträumten Blick und einer großen Portion Lebensklugheit aufgezeichnet.

Crime and the City Solution on PledgeMusic
After a twenty year hiatus, the wandering minstrels of mayhem, Crime and the City Solution are back with their unique brand of controlled chaos and a new home city: Detroit. Original members Bronwyn Adams, Simon Bonney, and Alexander Hacke, are joined by new confreres Jim White (drums), David Eugene Edwards (guitar), Danielle de Picciotto (visuals), Matthew Smith (keyboards) and Troy Gregory (bass).
Crime are finishing the recordings for their new album and will now start preparing their live show for the fall of 2012 and 2013. This show will be a unique experience and a complete rendering of the band’s creative vision.
To bring you this show in its full sensory splendor, they need to raise funds so that this new and possibly one-time-only way of experiencing Crime and the City Solution is possible. They have put together a pledge project offering an impressive array of gift and unique Crime memorabilia, artworks and more. As an extra special offer the first 50 pledgers will be named in the credits of the 35mm surrealist film titled ‘Sadness’ (directed by Simon Bonney and featuring music by the Detroit Crime) which they are offering as a download.
Dear friends, please contribute to this new adventure so that we can share the Crime and the City Solution experience fully with you all.
Invisible Berlin
Group show curated by Danielle de Picciotto
Artists: Kai Teichert, Thomas Draschan, Anja Huve, Jill Razer Mustoffa, Ilan Katin, Philip Topolovac, Deborah Wargon, Danielle de Picciotto
Invisibility is the state of an object that cannot be seen.
The artists examine this state and status from the point of objects invisible to our society.
In our world, which has become loud and as visible as possible the idea of the hidden, mysterious, unseen is an unusual and interesting one.

The Glasshouse Feffernitz, Austria
Die Geschichte Ihrer skurrilen letzten Nacht im NYC der 80er erzählt Danielle de Picciotto in Ihrem neuen Stummfilm "Das Glashaus". Die gebürtige Amerikanerin zog 1987 von New York nach Berlin und lebt seit dem als interdisziplinäre Künstlerin in Europa . Weswegen sie diesen Schritt unternahm erzählt der Film und die Geschichte ist nicht nur als eine persönliche Erinnerung zu verstehen sondern auch als Metapher für das stetig wachsende Gefühl der Bedrohung in unserer Gesellschaft. Der Film besticht mit seinen farbenprächtigen Bildern und erinnert an David Lynch in seiner skurrilen Erzählweise und Geschichte.
"Das Glashaus" wird im Grünspan auf Deutsch als Liveperformance aufgeführt. Danielle de Picciotto spricht den Text auf Deutsch zu dem Film und der live Musik von Alexander Hacke und Paul Browse (CLOCK DVA).

Invisible Nashville, Tennessee
Invisibility is the state of an object that cannot be seen.
Danielle de Picciotto examines this state and status from the point of objects invisible to our society, mainly because of bias and prejudice.
She examines the advantages of being invisible and the beauty hidden within invisibility.
In our world, which has become loud and as visible as possible the idea of the hidden, mysterious, unseen is an unusual and interesting one.
Reminiscent of old fairy tale books her intricate ink drawings depict outsiders, loners, the ignored and invisible.
Moving within realms of surrealism and mysticism she presents the invisible interaction of our everyday lives.
02.06.12 Twist Art Gallery
The Glasshouse Eugene, Oregon
"The Glasshouse" is an experimental silent movie in which Danielle recounts her last bizarre night in NYC in 1986 which turned into a nightmarish dinner filled with terror, strengthening her resolution to leave the crime and drug riddled city of the eighties and also serving as a metaphor for the growing fear and paranoia our society is experiencing since 9/11. Her film style is comparable to Luis Bunuel and early David Lynch but adds an unmistakable female touch to the scenes, lightening the alarming story and adding a touch of playful eroticism. Her spoken word is accompanied and highlighted by the spectacular film score by Alexander Hacke.
