Pourquoi Israël (Israel, Why) is Shoah filmmaker Claude Lanzmann's first film. The documentary examines life in Israel twenty-five years after the birth of the state. Lanzmann spends time with, among others, German-Jewish émigrés, intellectuals, dock workers, police, prison inmates, and the newly arrived surveying life in the new homeland. The title of the film is often incorrectly given as a question "Why Israel?" however, Lanzmann intended it as an answer or an explanation from a collection of viewpoints.

SCREENING Bil'in Habibti - Bil'in My Love Director: Shai Carmeli Pollak Israel 2006, Digital Beta/Beta SP, 84 min. Arabic, Hebrew with English subtitles

BIL'IN MY LOVE (Bilin Habibti) BIL'IN MY LOVE tells the story of a small Palestinian village trying to save itself and to break the occupation in a non-violent resistance against the Israeli Army. Under the pretext of security, the village of Bil'in is about to lose more than half of its lands to the Israeli separation fence and to the neighbouring Israeli settlement. In an attempt to stop the bulldozers, tear gas, beatings, arrests and live ammunition, the villagers confront the army in creative weekly demonstrations. It's not an ordinary documentary, because after following the struggle, in dozens of other villages, Shai Carmeli-Pollak arrives in Bil'in first and foremost, as an activist fighting the occupation and only then as filmmaker. He stays for more than a year and accompanies the village's struggle, focusing on two people that become real friends: Mohamed, a member of the village's local committee against the fence, and Wagee, an olive tree farmer and father of ten, who is losing the majority of his land to the fence.

SCREENING Mapping the Wall Director: Reinhard Uttenthaler IL/PAL/A 2007, 32min English

In 2002 the Israeli Government begins to build the so-called Security Fence along the Westbank to separate Israelis from Palestinians. The fence which became a wall in most urban locations claimes to protect Israel against terror acts as happened during the Second Intifada since 2000. Statistically, terror acts have decreased since the erection. In 2007, equipped with small video camera and a Palestine Tourist Map we followed the traces the wall had left for people living on both sides around Jerusalem. Although one can hardly find the wall on public roadmaps, it is present in the daily life of many people using the different ways along the route. Mapping the Wall explores these conditions in a conceptual way. Story by story, the hidden protagonists describe a new path network by sketching and locating their changing ways on a presented tourist map. In its own narrative way and without the visibility of any talking heads throughout the picture the film emerges a virtual map in the head of the viewer about the run, dimension and the social-spatial consequences of the wall.

GUEST LECTURE /PRESENTATION by Karla Villavicencio (Lima/Vienna)

Title: IMA-R-GINAL ARCHITECTURE: STRUCTURES OF MEMORY IN CONTEMPORARY CITIES.

SUMMARY: Karla Villavicencio will talk about illegal cities in Latin America that are culturally, socially and politically marginalized. The aim of the lecture is to offer with the help of documentation a new perspective on urban development. The lecture will focus on Peru and on migration of the indigenous population from the Andes to Lima. It will try to show how immigration transforms the architecture of the city. Furthermore the lecture will propose a platform for reading visually the social impact of such transformations on the development of architecture. These architectural and urban spaces can be compared to a living skin that adapts itself to the needs of the migrants. For this reason such architecture makes clearly visible the social, economic and political dimensions of architecture.

CV: Dr. Karla Villavicencio is artist that holds PhD in architecture from the European University in Madrid, Spain. She creates projects about the evolution of different cities in multicultural societies around the globe. She tries to show the visual memory of social processes in architectural spaces within contemporary cities. Villavicencio studied in Peru and Spain. In the past she has been working as assistant professor for Architecture in The Architecture and Art School of the European University of Madrid.

LANGUGE: ENGLISH.

OPEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC.

The lecture is possibly organized as a joint platform in-between Post Conceptual Art Practices, Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna and the Institute for Art and Architecture at Academy of fine Arts, Vienna

Lecture organized by Marina Grzinic, Gabu Heindl and Michael Poetschko. Questions and answers after the lecture facilitated by Hansel Sato (Spanish-English-German).

Freundschaften sind nicht nur in jeder einzelnen Biographie eine der wichtigsten Formen sozialen Zusammenlebens, sondern stellen auch im Kunstbetrieb eine essentielle Voraussetzung dar, sowohl was Kooperationen, Arbeits- als auch Produktionsverhältnisse betrifft. Freundschaften zeigen sich aber auch als Lebensform bzw. Teil subkultureller Community-Formen. Michael Foucault hat (als Beispiel) einmal gesagt, das Bedrohliche an der Homosexualität ist nicht der Sex, den welche miteinander haben, sondern die Lebensweisen, die sie miteinander erfinden: Freundschaften und Netzwerke. Die Ausstellung Smell it! präsentiert vorwiegend künstlerische Arbeiten, die queere Bezüglichkeiten herstellen oder in einem offenen Dialog zu queeren Kontexten stehen. Entlang der Thematik sollen auch Produktionen aus jenen postsozialistischen Ländern integriert werden, in denen aktuell ganz unmittelbar reaktionäre und homophobe Kräfte wirken und es in der künstlerischen Produktion keine nachhaltige sichtbare queere Tradition gibt.

Antke Engel: Bilder von Sexualität und Ökonomie. Queere kulturelle Politiken im Neoliberalismus Bielefeld (transcript) 2009

Presentation moderated by Rosa Reitsamer.

PRESENTATION IN GERMAN. Discussion German and English.

Gibt es eine intime Beziehung zwischen sexueller Freiheit und Marktfreiheit? Bilder dissidenter Sexualität und geschlechtlicher Ambiguität finden sich heute nicht nur in sexueller Subkultur, sondern auch in Kunst und kommerzieller Werbung. Die entstehenden Überlappungsfelder – queere Diskurse in kommerziellen ebenso wie neoliberale Diskurse in queeren visuellen Produkten – sind Schauplätze kultureller Politiken. Antke Engel führt den Begriff der „projektiven Integration“ ein, um zu zeigen, dass dort, wo vormals Abwehr oder Assimilation propagiert wurde, heute Differenzen als kulturelles Kapital codiert und ökonomisch verwertbar werden. Es zeigt sich, dass diese affirmativen Investitionen in Differenz maßgeblich über Sexualität vermittelt sind. Genau hieraus erwachsen jedoch auch Möglichkeiten queerer Herrschaftskritik.

In acht close readings von visuellem Bildmaterial lotet Antke Engel in ihrem neuen Buch das Verhältnis von Sexualität und Ökonomie aus und entwickelt eine queere Kritik neoliberaler Entwicklungen. Die Lektüre des Coverbildes, eine Collage der Wiener Künstlerin Ines Doujak, soll vorgestellt werden. Anhand dieser Lektüre wird das Paradox als eine Figur eingeführt, die es erlaubt, die Analyse sozio-ökonomischer, psychischer und symbolisch-kultureller Prozesse miteinander zu verbinden. Der Einsatz von Paradoxien erscheint deshalb interessant, weil er einerseits dazu dient rigide binäre Geschlechter- und Sexualitätsvorstellungen in Bewegung zu versetzen, andererseits aber auch zur Durchsetzung neoliberale Transformationen beiträgt. Argumentiert werden soll, dass Paradoxien genau dann ein kritisches Potenzial entfalten, wenn sie nicht aufgelöst oder in antagonistische Widersprüche übersetzt werden.

English version

Is there an intimate relation between sexual freedom and market freedom? Images of dissident sexualities and gender ambiguity can be found in commercial advertising as well as in art and in sexual subcultures. Around the topoi of sexual diversity and the multiplicity of desire a discursive overlap develops – queer perspectives in commercial and neoliberal perspectives in queer discourses. This discursive overlap is the terrain of cultural politics. Antke Engel introduces the concept of “projective integration” in order to show that in late modern societies, difference is now coded as cultural capital and is made usable for economic interests. While other forms of integration like assimilation and multicultural pluralism still exist, “projective integration,” Engel suggests, is the characteristic version of neoliberal governmentality. It turns out that the investment in difference relies heavily on images of sexuality. However, these are also the images that become the starting point for the queering of capitalist economy.

Reading images through the lens of projective integration is interesting because the term “projection” covers psychic, socio-political, and visual technological aspects and invites viewers to look for the productivity of their intermingling. Exemplarily, Antke Engel will introduce close readings of two art works: a collage by Ines Doujak from the series “Victory Gardens” (2007) and a drawing without title, but recently exhibited as “Kotzblatt” (vomiting sheet) by Galli (1984).

These readings show that being implicated in processes of projective integration does not necessarily mean that one has submitted to the neoliberal order. “Bilder von Sexualität und Ökonomie” points towards, and indeed strives to strengthen, those tendencies in queer theory and politics that make use of their own entangling with the discourses they want to oppose. Thus, queer cultural politics opens up the field for the critique of capitalist economy by showing how the neoliberal deployment of dissident sexualities and genders can be turned against itself.
