Guest lecture by Vijai Patchineelam

Title: » The Artist Job Description: A proposal for a practice led artistic research for the employment of the artist, as an artist, inside the art institution«

If an experienced artist were to replace one of the museum’s public relation employees, would the artist decisions be any different than of the former employee? And if not what does this say and mean to the assumed progressive and transcendent properties of art, if the knowledge gained through its practice cannot be transferred to other human activities?

CV: Vijai Patchineelam was born in Niteroi, Brazil in 1983. Recently concluded his Master of Research at Sint Lucas, Antwerp, Belgium. He holds an MFA in Experience Design at Konstfack University College in Stockholm, Sweden and a BA in Industrial Design at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. His work consists of photographic installations, multimedia installations and photobooks.

Guest lecture by Amor Muñoz

Title: »Art & Technology as Factors of Social Change«

This talk is about how art, by strategically using technology as a form of reflection and criticism, can become a fundamental social impact agent. I will talk about two interdisciplinary art projects: »Maquila Region 4« a mobile factory for the manufacture of electronic-textile artworks at marginalized areas of Mexico city; and »Yuca Tech: Energy by hand,« a local technology lab located in the Mayan region (Yucatan), to creating photovoltaic textiles.

CV: Amor Muñoz was born in Mexico City in 1979. In her works she reflects about labor, production systems, technology and society. She creates pieces that are implanted in the social field and that generate collective experiences that use art as a reflective platform. She combines performance and experimental electronics with traditional media such as drawing and textile work.

This lecture is possible thanks to the Artists-in-Residence program of the Austrian Federal Chancellery and KulturKontakt Austria.

CONTEXTUALIZATIONS:

Die Klasse expanded cinema will den Diskurs von öffentlichem Raum und Massenmedien in der Gesellschaft führen und gleichzeitig experimentelle Narrationen des zeitgenössischen Bewegtbildes analysieren und weiterentwickeln. Die Tradition des "expanded cinema" wird als mögliche Renaissance des Engagements von KünstlerInnen in einer visuell und akustisch vernetzten Welt gesehen. Wir sind dabei nicht auf eine Sprache und nicht auf ein Medium begrenzt. Die Konzeption und Besprechung von Projekten folgt unabhängig von der Herkunft der Studenten immer der zugrunde liegenden konzeptuellen Idee. Die Studenten forschen praktisch und kooperativ und werden durch vielfältige Aktivität der Klasse unterstützt: Klassentreffen und Einzelgespräche. Vortragsreihen mit Gästen zu aktuellen Themen und fundamentaler Werkpraxis. Filmanalyse. Recherche. Projektentwicklung. Exkursionen. Ausstellungsgestaltung.

PCAP: Aktivismus, Politik und Theorie sind von größter Bedeutung für den Zugang der PCAP, wenn wir an den Umgang mit Praktiken des Visuellen und der Politik von Repräsentation herangehen. „Theorie“ meint hier eine zeitgemäße theoretische, kritische Art zu denken, die den Studierenden hilft, Prozesse für die Konzeptualisierung der Künste und der Politiken der Welt zu entwickeln, die viele unterschiedliche Schichten aufweisen. PCAP wollen überdenken, wie die Verbindung zwischen Kunst und kulturellen, sozialen und politischen Sphären aufgebaut ist und wie Studierende selbst als verantwortungsvolle politische Subjekte wirken können. Kunst ist nicht ein Werkzeug, das einfach auf einen bestimmten, „unschuldigen“ Produktions- und Verteilungsprozess von Bildern und Wissen angewendet werden kann. Ausbildung ist nicht lediglich eine Maschine für die Produktion und Zirkulation von Fertigkeiten.

Lecture by Gloria Wekker Title: "White Innocence in the Dutch Academy". In my talk, I will focus on "White Innocence" (Wekker 2016) in the Dutch university. In line with this dominant Dutch sense of self, our universities are characterized by the centrality of a (mostly) silent, but self-flattering conception of whiteness. The dominance of whiteness is evident both in terms of the demographics among professors and, to a lesser extent, among students and staff, but also and importantly in terms of the content of education. "Show me your curriculum, and I will tell you who is in power": a quip borrowed from South African educator Professor Jonathan Jansen, that is unfortunately equally applicable in many European academies. The chances that a student in the Social Sciences or the Humanities will be exposed to knowledge about, for example, the Dutch colonial past, the slave trade, slavery, colonialism and even current multi-racial/ ethnic society are slim. Calling attention to whiteness in the academy, how it is manifest and what its detrimental consequences are for society as a whole and for all students, is not done, as "race" has, by dominant consensus, been declared missing in action in The Netherlands: "we do not do race". I will reflect on these and other pressing issues during my presentation.

Prof. Dr. Gloria Wekker is emerita professor in Gender and Ethnicity at the Department of Gender Studies at the Faculty of the Arts of Utrecht University. She is a social and cultural anthropologist (PhD UCLA, 1992), specialized in Gender Studies, African American and Caribbean Studies and In 2007, she won the Ruth Benedict Prize of American Anthropological Association for The Politics if Passion; Women´s sexual Culture in the Afro-Surinamese Diaspora (Columbia University Press). Her research themes are: constructions of sexual subjectivity in the black Diaspora; gendered and racialized knowledge systems in the Dutch academy and society and the Dutch cultural Archive; and the history of the black, migrant and refugee women’s movement in the Netherlands. She also writes poetry and prose.

The (post)Yugoslav Art Practices: Curating Difficult Knowledge

by Jelena Petrovic

Endowed Professor for Central and South Eastern European Art installed in Cooperation between the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and ERSTE Foundation

Tracing the relation between contemporary art, (post)Yugoslav space and feminist epistemology, this lecture will question ways of historicising, situating and institutionalising the knowledge that this relation triggers. Reverting the false universalism of singularly authorised art canon(s) into a feminist episteme of uni-categorisation beyond sex and gender, this introduction to (post)Yugoslav art practices will be presented through recent art works dealing with an (im)possibility of shaping a geopolitical or a historical frames of art today, especially when it comes to the politics of belonging and ways of its construction.

CV: Jelena Petrović is a feminist scholar, cultural theorist and art-worker. She is co-founder and member of a feminist curatorial group Red Min(e)d dealing with the relation of contemporary art and feminism in the post-Yugoslav space. From this academic year, she is appointed as an endowed professor for Central and South Eastern European Art Histories at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
