INCUBATE FESTIVAL GUIDE TEXT:
Wineke Gartz is an Amsterdam-based multi-media artist. At Incubate, she will be working with American psychedelic band Wooden Shjips. Wineke Gartz makes works of light with collage techniques. She works with overlapping projections, slide projectors, beamers and collages on paper.Wineke Gartz incorporated the music of the Wooden Shjips into her work before, and experimented with WS keyboardist Nash Whalen on sound and image improvisations.

Wooden Shjips is a psychedelic rock group from San Francisco with hints of krautrock. Their sound could be described as long psychedelic jams with echoing vocals, (desert) stoner bass and warm organ sound, not afraid of adding something extra (a “j” for instance). 
This unique performance will be on Saturday 17th of September.

During the whole festival week a new installation by Wineke will be on display. This was made for the festival and incorporates music by Wooden Shjips and Nash Whalen.
INCUBATE WIKI TEXT

'For Incubate 2011 live music by Wooden Shjips and video and slide installations of Wineke Gartz will be merged. The collaboration will take place in a setting of a new specially designed installation by Gartz, which will be the set for newly shot video and slide images, previous footage and music of past works, specially recorded tracks by Nash Whalen, improvisations, and a Wooden Shjips live performance. By creating new forms in between, an art installation fades into a concert and the other way around.'

'The music takes you on a trip and the visuals tell you where to. Or do they? Videos from different places and times are merged into a hallucinogenic experience.'
