++++++ german ++++++ mit arbeit / work of art – über kollaborative praktiken in der kunst Ausstellung und Symposium über Kollaboration in der Kunst

Im Zuge einer Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen zur Arbeit seit Herbst 2007 möchten wir Arbeitsgemeinschaften im Kunstfeld einladen, über ihre Zusammenarbeit zu reflektieren: Was veranlasst Künstlerinnen sich zusammenzuschließen? Wie funktionieren solche Arbeitsgemeinschaften? Wer ist SchöpferIn des Teppichs von Bayeux, wessen Arbeit dessen Identität? Manche Kunst kann nur gemeinsam erzeugt werden, ist per se gemeinsame Erzeugung wie performative Arbeiten, partizipatorische Projekte; andere lassen den Schluss nicht eindeutig zu, ob eine oder mehrere AutorInnen eines Werkes sind. Erheben wir den Anspruch einer gelebten Utopie, wenn wir den Begriff des Individuums als zentralem Moment abendländischer Kunst auf solche Weise ausweiten? Diese und weitere Fragen werden im Projekt „mit arbeit“ thematisiert und zur gemeinsamen Diskussion gestellt.

Zu diesem Zweck findet im November 2008 in der Vereinigung Bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs (VBKÖ) in Wien eine Ausstellung und ein Symposion statt. Die VBKÖ, als Knoten zur Vernetzung von Künstlerinnen vor hundert Jahren gegründet, ist als Ausstellungsfläche, Arbeits- und Diskursraum Gastgeberin. Geplant ist, dass

1. eine Ausstellung entsteht, bei der die Teilnehmerinnen eine eigene Arbeit zeigen, die spezifisch kollaborativen Charakter hat und/oder die entsprechende Arbeitsweise sichtbar macht
2. im Rahmen dessen ein eintägiges Symposium der Teilehmerinnen zwecks gemeinsamer Auseinandersetzung mit den jeweiligen Konzepten und Erfahrungen stattfindet.

Eingeladene KünstlerInnen: Bernadette Corporation,Helmut und Johanna Kandl, collabor.at, h.arta, ikoon, RAM, snm Organisation: IEFS / ursula kiesling + maki stolberg www.iefs.at

+++++++ english +++++++ mit arbeit / the work of art exhibition+symposium on collaboration

Discussing questions of labour and the role it plays in establishing ones identity in a project in 2007 ("fragBar", Graz 2007) we had the idea to organise a small exhibition and symposium on the issue of working together, thus reflecting our own work, the effects it has on questions of identity and vice versa. It is supposed to take place 3.-16. November 2008, at the „Vereinigung Bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs“ in Maysedergasse 2, 1010 Vienna which itself was ment to be, like many other intitutions founded at the beginning of the 20th century some sort of collaborative structure. Our idea is that each participating group presents itself

1. through a work which for them demonstrates their specific way of collaborative production and
2. (if possible) take part at or contribute to the symposium which is supposed to explore and discuss different strategies and ways of artistic production questioning/exceeding traditional concepts of „the work of art“.

TITLE OF THE SEMINAR: Writing Central European Art History

SEMINAR DATES: 24 and 25. November 2008, part 1. OPEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC

Writing Central European Art History is a special seminar/course, that was put together by ERSTE Stiftung and WUS with 7 academics/professors from the so called Central European art institutions and academies: Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Serbian and Slovakia. It brings fresh inputs on academic art history and the perception on modernism and post-modernism in the former Eastern European territory.

Monday, 24, November, 2008

1. SESSION 15.30 until 20.30

AT 15.30 INTRODUCTION AND WELLCOME Marina Grzinic

AT 15.45 LECTURE by Misko Suvakovic

Misko Suvakovic, Professor of Aesthetics and Art Theory Faculty of Music, University of Arts, Belgrade, Serbia

Title: Politics and Art after the fall of the Berlin Wall

The author will point to the crucial changes that happened in society, philosophy and art after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and more precisely, after the end of the cold war division of the world. The era of postmodern social, cultural and artistic plurality was turned into a period of globalization and of restructuring of the social, political, cultural and artistic local-global relations. These processes are marked in art by a fundamental change in the media of artistic representation and expression, converting new media practices into the mainstream art of this epoch.

DISCUSSION 17.15 – 17.45/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

PAUSE: DRINKS, SANDWICHES

AT 18.15 LECTURE by Vojtech Lahoda

Vojtech Lahoda, Deputy Director of the Institute of Art History of the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic. University Professor at the Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic

Title: Regional Cubism? How to write on Cubism in East Central Europe

The author's aim is to concentrate on the issue of Cubism outside Paris, especially in the region usually called East Central Europe. The discussion will deal with the question whether it is still valid to write about a homogeneous western born "Cubism", or whether we should think about different local and regional "Cubisms" within the territory of Central and Eastern Europe. The author proposes the term Regional Cubism for Cubist hybridization east of Paris and stresses international aspects of Cubist regionalism.

DISCUSSION 20.00 -20.30/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

25 November 2008, TUESDAY Semperdepot, M1

2. SESSION 9.30 until 14.00

AT 9.30 LECTURE by Ljiljana Blagojevic

Ljiljana Blagojevic, Associate Professor Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, Serbia

Title: Post-socialist Cities: Contested Modernism

The presentation explores spatiality of processes in the contemporary transformation of cities which have been constructed in the second half of the twentieth century as new modern socialist cities. The course will also focus on the impact of sociopolitical and economic post-socialist/communist transition on architecture and urbanism. The case study of New Belgrade (Serbia) will be specifically presented.

AT 11.00-11.30 DISCUSSION/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

PAUSE 11.30 - 12.00: DRINKS, SANDWICHES

AT 12.00 LECTURE by Mart Kalm

Mart Kalm, Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Art and Culture Estonian Academy of Art, Tallinn, Estonia

Title: What is Estonian Architecture?

This presentation will discuss the establishment and formation of the Estonian architecture culture during the 20th century. From Finnish architects serving Estonian society before the first Estonian architects emerged to the Baltic-German and Estonian architects in inter-war Estonia-the course will explore Estonian interpretations of traditionalism and modernism. From there, the architecture of Soviet Estonia, with eyes in West but organization and rules from Moscow, is followed by the post-communist Estonian architecture – and is now dissolved in globalization?

DISCUSSION 13.30-14.00/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

LUNCH BREAK 14.00 UNTIL 15.30

3. SESSION 15.30 -18.00

AT 15.30 LECTURE by by Edit András

Edit András, Senior Research Fellow, Research Institute for Art History of Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary

Title: One-way traffic, two-way traffic or a dead end? Dynamism of Contemporary Art Discourse in the East-West Relation

The author intends to shed light upon the shifts, gaps and discrepancies between mainstream art history writing and its Central European local, national variants focusing mostly on the period after the political changes. It would explore burning issues of what could be absorbed into the main debate, what remains invisible from outside, and how the border patrolling mechanism operates. Case-studies would be given of contemporary Hungarian artists like Little Warsaw, Andreas Fogarasi, Kriszta Nagy, Emese Benzcúr etc.

DISCUSSION 17.00 to 17.30 facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

17.30 -18.30 END NOTES

Guest speaker: LALA RASCIC

Artist Lala Rascic is a Kulturkontakt artist in residency, Vienna. She will talk about her art work, projects and concepts. OPEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC

BIOGRAPHY: Lala Rascic born in Sarajevo 1977. Lives and works between Sarajevo and Zagreb. Graduated from Academy of Fine Arts, Zagreb. She spent a work period at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam 2003/04.

Most recently, Rascic’s solo exhibition Individual Utopias was presented at BOP Gallery, Zagreb, and Gallery KC, Belgrade, the performance of the same title opened the City of Women exhibition: Natural Relations in SKUC gallery in Ljubljana (all 2008). Her solo show Everything is Connected in National Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2007), Sarajevo toured to Museum of Contemporary Art, Banja Luka and BOP Gallery, Zagreb. Solo shows also include exhibitions at Gallery Nova, Zagreb; Art Radionica Lazareti, Dubrovnik; SC Gallery, Zagreb and Dik de Bruijne, Amsterdam.

She has participated in group shows a.o. at La Centrale Electique, Brussels, Contemporary Art Center, Graz; Edinburgh Art Festival; The Kitchen, New York; Overtones Gallery, Los Angeles and Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul.

She is the recipient of the 2006 Zvono award for best young artist for Bosnia and Herzegovina and 2007 first prize winner of Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb acquisition award for her installation Everything is Connected.

Rascic develops her audio-drama inspired work thru scriptwriting, video, performance, installation and drawing. While maintaining the entertainment and aesthetic quality in her work, the subverted message is no laughing matter. At a closer look, the seemingly humorous works are a satirical comment on contemporary society and the artit’s own environment.

In charge of the presentation Adnan Popovic.

ART UNDER CONSTRUCTION: COMMEMORATING HALF A CENTURY OF EDUCATIONAL REFORM

7.10. 2008 TUESDAY, M1 19.00

Student lecture presentation: 
LINA DOKUZOVIC: “Art under construction: commemorating half a century of educational reform” 
The European institutions of higher education are currently undergoing an extreme process of reformation through the Bologna Process. Education and the arts have more clearly that ever become a platform for the production of ideologies and surplus value for capital. While knowledge has supported autonomy, power and liberation, (neo-)liberal capitalism has found a position for the arts and education within the expanding knowledge-based economy. 

IN ENGLISH, followed by a discussion. 

Lecture within the seminar/course Kritische Künstlerische Praxis als Dissens, organized by 
Petja Dimitrova and Eduard Freudmann.

WHAT WE DO AND WHAT WE DO NOT WANT 2008/2009

I WILL WRITE EVERY YEAR AND IN THE COURSE OF THE YEAR CONPTUAL EDUCATIONAL FRAMEWORKS PEOPLE CAN READ!!!

Ljubljana, 27.09.2008

Class, In few days starts the new school year 2008/2009. With Petja and Edi we worked for the entrance exams and 10 new students are accepted. They will show up on the 6. October, please come to the common meeting at 16.00 in our class, we present each other and start to work.

The program for OCTOBER 2008 will be sent in the next two days, and will be the mail no 4. As always each month program is posted the first of that month on our blog: m1.antville.org

I would like to put on paper some thoughts and also what I intend to send to you. Mail 2 and 3 I will announce TWO exceptional SEMINARS that will take part in 0ctober 2008/January 2009. I think you should take all of you these two courses, we are around 50 in the class NOW (with the new 10) and you should put these days in your calendar!

In mail 2 I will ANNOUNCE THE NEW FILM DOCUMENTARY program by DANIEL ERLACHER. In mail 3 I will ANNOUNCE THE SEMINAR on Central Europe Art History, that will be facilitated by me and two extra assistants Ivan Jurica and Ivana Marjanovic.

OUR "REGULAR" TUTOR is Okenna Okafor (Octiber2008-February2009). The proposal to have Okenna as TUTOR, the possibility to realize this proposal was possible by the extraordinary engagement by Can and Edi.

The party/ action and activation for Okenna(s) the 10.10.2008 it is a great effort, important and the only possible gesture to be done. In the past many amongst you, especially Lukas, Kevin, Petja, Edi, did a great job in helping him and keeping us "ANGRY" (that is good) for the shit situation in Europe regarding asylum, migrations, papers, RIGHTS...

This is not a list of who and what but just a modest recognition that we have to do something concrete or nothing changes....

I would like to say look through classes, change if necessary (IF NOT STAY WITH US) or just be with us -;, go for Erasmus exchange, and take the activities in OUR class seriously, come to the meetings, lectures, presentations. Please take the advantage of the seminars by Petja and Edi, and also Prof. Harun Farocki...

EACH OF YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PRESENTATION, the format is yours (BE MY GUEST, challenge us, and we will challenge you!) the dates will be proposed. But to show a proper work and be open for the discussion on the work is one of the priority of this class...

As always and this is firmly, those who comes to the lectures and seminars will be graded, the grade/mark is an outcome of a consequent dedication, the so called "quality" of the work is not graded (haha), but is DISCUSSED, CONTESTED and FRAMED in A LARGER CONTEXT.

Those who are not showing up simply to say will not be graded; those who works, reads, questions or just sit in the class and think, will be graded. I do not see obstacles to get the best mark. Thinking is a process, after every thinking and being silent it is a wish to talk, to explode, say that we are just without sense.

COME TO THE READINGS OF THEORY! DO NOT DISMISS THIS POSSIBILITY!

IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE LET ME KNOW! EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE TO BE SOLVED; RULES ARE ESTABLISHED PRECISELY TO QUESTION THEM. I am not a snob! It is not necessary a special introduction to contact me, not a perfect grammar knowledge to write to me and talk to me! But you have to have a politics and a concept regarding what you do and what you want! If not you have to form them in the course of studies.

I would like to thank for the work Petja and Edi, for what they did in the past (I change I will thank them in the beginning of every of the next 6 years and not in the end!), and I am already looking forward to our collective work, as said we see us officially 6.10. The whole program will be sent and as well put on our BLOG: check it regularly: m1.antville.org

EACH MONTH the program is posted there on the 1 of the month! So you can plan clearly each month in advance what you would like to do, 20 percent is always the plus and minus you have to trade with others, the 80 percent save for our classes and seminars and our common projects and work.

Next two mails ARE ANNOUNCING two exceptional seminars on film and theory. Both will be as well incorporated in the normal class monthly prepared program.

5.Juni, 1968: Robert Kennedy gewinnt die Vorwahlen der Demokraten in Kalifornien und ist damit als Gegner von Richard Nixon als Präsidentschaftskandidat fix. Minuten später erfolgt der tödliche Anschlag des 24-jährigen Palästinensers Sirhan Sirhan. Sirhan kann sich jedoch bis heute nicht an die Schießerei erinnern - nicht einmal unter Hypnose. Führende PsychiaterInnen glauben er war ein „mandschurischer Kandidat“, also hypnotisch programmiert um Kennedy zu töten. Neu entdeckte Film- und Photoaufnahmen zeigen drei altgediente mutmaßliche CIA Agenten am Tatort, dem Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles - ein Indiz für die Beteiligung der CIA am Anschlag. Dieser hoch bristante investigative Dokumentarfilm, basierend auf O'Sullivan's jahrelangen Recherchen für die BBC und den britischen Guardian, zeichnet ein neues und verstörendes Bild des tragischen Ereignisses vor 40 Jahren.

22. 10. 2008, WEDNESDAY Exhibition excursion: Overlapping Voices, Essl museum Guided tour and discussions with the curators.

Excursion part of the seminar/course Kritische Künstlerische Praxis als Dissens, organized by Petja Dimitrova and Eduard Freudmann.

Meeting point 15:45 Albertinaplatz 2 (in front of Cafe Mozart)

OVERLAPPING VOICES - Israeli and Palestinian Artists Essl Museum, Exhibition Hall Curators: Karin Schneider, Friedemann Derschmidt, Tal Adler, Amal Murkus Artists: Tal Adler, Shalom Amira, Anisa Ashkar, Asad Azi, Raed Bawayah, Eyal Ben-Dov, Zoya Cherkassky und Avdey Ter-Oganian, Ronen Eidelman, Shula Keshet, Jumana Manna, Parrhesia, rites-institute, Yoav Weiss, Osama Zatar, Manar Zuabi, Masha Zusman

This exhibition of Israeli and Palestinian artists offers a rare and interesting opportunity to discuss different artistic practices from a conflicted area.Both Israeli and Palestinian societies contain a vast range of people, cultures and positions with rich and intertwined histories. This exhibition tries to bring together some of these voices, which overlap and sometimes contradict the more common and clearer positions usually heard.

Some of the 22 art projects that include all artistic media are shown for the first time. Many of them are based on civil society structures, as many of the artists in this show are themselves social and cultural activists. Four of the projects created for the exhibition are a result of artistic collaboration between some of the artists and civil society organizations, Israeli and Palestinian, who present interesting visions for understanding of the region and its challenges.

An information lounge with maps, glossaries and books will give visitors the possibility to better understand the complexity of this region and its connections with Austrian history – in particular the displacement and annihilation of Europe’s Jews during the Nazi-regime.

At 18.00 Guest lecture seminar on documentary film Organized and presented by guest lecturer: DANIEL ERLACHER Open to general public American Blackout (USA/2006) Buch/Regie: Ian Inaba; 92min; eng. OV.

Ein stilistisch gesehen sehr kämpferischer Dokumentarfilm, der den fesselnden Werdegang der US-Kongressabgeordneten Cynthia McKinney (Demokratin aus Georgia) und die Unterdrückung der schwarzen Wählerstimmen historisch und während der jüngsten Präsidentenwahlen in Florida und Ohio eingehend beleuchtet. Die neueste Produktion aus dem Hause der News-Community Guerrilla News Network gewann beim Sundance Festival 2006 einen Special Award der Jury und beeindruckt sowohl durch Stil als auch durch den brisanten Inhalt: Most people have heard of the voting irregularities that marred the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Some even know of the resulting challenges to the electoral votes by African-American congressional representatives. However, because the mainstream media shies away from reporting cases of imperiled democracy the public is left to believe these stories are at worst insignificant rumors or at best one-off incidents that result from an overburdened election system. American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of disenfranchisement witnessed from 2000 to 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who not only took an active role in investigating these election debacles but also found herself in the middle of one after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Some call Cynthia McKinney a civil rights leader among the ranks of Shirley Chisholm and Malcolm X. Others call her a conspiracy theorist and a 'looney.' American Blackout gains unprecedented access to one of the most controversial and dangerous politicians in America and examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence political dissent. Mit besonderem Dank an Ian Inaba und gnn.tv! Trailer: www.agit-doc.org
