Conducted by guest lecturer Ivana Marjanovic, PhD candidate, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Topic in this semester is readings of the text form the class book project VOCABULARY OF DECOLONIALITY.

READINGS with discussion:

Ivan Jurica: „Der Drang nach OstenParallels to Post-Colonialism and Coloniality within the Central European Space”
Eyal Danon: “Some Notes from an Encircled Society: the project Liminal Spaces and other case studies”

VOCABULARY OF DECOLONIALITY introduces the concept of decoloniality as an option for the contention of contemporary forms of subjugation under neo-liberal global capitalism that is based on historical colonialism and maintains continuities with it. Reading writers such as Frantz Fanon, bell hooks, Belinda Kazeem, Nicola Lauré al-Samarai, Walter Mignolo and Peggy Piesche and relating their ideas to the current state of capitalism, migration, racism, class, gender etc., the editors with the name “Editorial Group for Writing Insurgent Genealogies ” decided that it is necessary to reformulate the existing vocabulary and to re-propose new terminology and meaning connecting art and politics.

VOCABULARY OF DECOLONIALITY is a project initiated by the alumni and students of the Post-Conceptual Art Practices class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, PhD candidate Ivana Marjanović and Professor Marina Gržinić within the context of the project of theory and arts: “Seminar Decolonizing Knowledge and Life through Theory and Art” that has been organized in the class for Post Conceptual Art Practices class, Akbild, since 2009 by Ivana Marjanović. The Editorial Group for Writing Insurgent Genealogies consists of Carolina Agredo, Sheri Avraham, Iris Borovčnik, Annalisa Cannito, Miltiadis Gerothanasis, Niki Kubaczek, Marissa Lobo and Ivana Marjanović. The group was constituted through a hard process of reading, discussions and activation.

17:00 Lecture by Sarah Cook (London)“Rethinking Curating: Art After New Media”

Since 2000, the research centre CRUMB at the University of Sunderland in the UK, has aimed to help curators rethink their practices in the light of new media art's 'behaviours'. This talk will suggest how the immaterial, time-based and participatory qualities of media art challenge traditional curatorial ways of working, drawing from Sarah Cook's book co-authored with Beryl Graham, "Rethinking Curating: Art After New Media" (MIT Press, 2010).

In 2005 Sarah Cook co-curated an exhibition called "The Art Formerly Known As New Media" at the Banff Centre; five years later new media artworks are increasingly considered a part of the contemporary art world, but those which involve interactivity and technological networks are still difficult to classify according to the established art-world categories based onmedium, geography, and chronology. Systems-based artworks invite a rethinking of the work's production, interpretation, exhibition, and dissemination, as well as the role of the curator and audience. While artists have led the way in using the connected, interactive and generative characteristics of new media including social media tools, networks and software art, we are now seeing the rise of projects where 'the audience' might become not only a participant, but also to an extent a curator. As such, in today's mediated landscape, what distinguishes a curatorial practice from the growing roster of online activities 'read as' curating which anyone can engage in, such as filtering, blogging, and commenting?

BIOGRAPHY: Sarah Cook is a curator and writer based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK and co-author with Beryl Graham of the book "Rethinking Curating: Art After New Media" (MIT Press, 2010). She is currently a research fellow at the University of Sunderland where she co-founded and co-edits CRUMB, the online resource for curators of new media art and teaches on the MA Curating course.
www.crumbweb.org

In 2011 she will co-chair "Rewire, the Fourth International Conference on the histories of media art, science and technology" with FACT in Liverpool. Having grown up in Canada, Sarah has a longstanding association with The Banff Center where she has worked as a guest curator and researcher in residence for the Walter Phillips Gallery, the International CuratorialInstitute and the New Media Institute, developing exhibitions, summits, residencies and publications. After completing her PhD in 2004, Sarah worked as adjunct curator of new media at BALTIC. In 2008 Sarah was the inaugural curatorial fellow at Eyebeam Art and Technology Center in New York, where she worked with the artists in the labs to develop exhibitions of their work. For over ten years Sarah has curated and co-curated international exhibitions including Database Imaginary (2004), The Art Formerly Known As New Media (2005), Package Holiday (2005), Broadcast Yourself (2008) and Untethered (2008).

Study exchange: Der Drang nach Osten – Parallels towards Coloniality and Post-Colonialism within the Central-European Space

Research meeting in Bratislava in between Post Conceptual Art Practices Class /Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Studio Ilona Németh, Academy of Fine Arts, (VŠVU), Bratislava.

The aim of the project is to create (through selected artworks and texts) a theoretical base for reconsidering the history and the presence of Central-European Space not just as any history or even nostalgia for the past, but as history of repressions based on borders, ideologies, religion, capital and exploitation (comparable to the history and presence of neo/coloniality). Another constitutive part of the project is a small symposium with theoreticians on art and economy (25.11.) and a group workshop on coloniality between the students of 2 arts academies, Bratislava and Vienna.

Participants from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna – Post Conceptual Art Practices (PCAP):Arin Zadoorian, Kevin Dooley, Marissa Lobo, Wilhelm Hejda, Claudia Tomassetti, Sheri Avraham, Christian Gangl, Claudia Caceres, Chui Yong Jian, Maria Kuschelieva, Iris Borovcnik, Neda Hosseinyar, Aleksandra Aleksic, Muzaffer Hasaltay, Ruth Weismann, Niki Kubaczek, Annalisa Cannito, Joanna Wilk, Andreas Scherz, Julia Rochford, Can Gülcü, Verena Melgarejo, Tatiana Kai-Browne, Miltiadis Gerothanassis, Kader MuzaqiIvan Jurica, Petja Dimitrova, Eduard Freudmann, Marina Grzinic m1.antville.org

Kritische Strategien in Kunst und Medien 2010

Diskussion und Buchpräsentation

Veranstaltet von der Conceptual Art-Klasse an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien und World-Information Institute

Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, Semper Depot, Lehargasse 8, Wien,
Post-Conceptual Art-Klasse, Erste Stock, M1

Diskussion

Mit: Radostina Patulova, Ralo Mayer, Martin Wassermair und Konrad Becker

Moderation: Sonja Eismann

Seit Jahrhunderten wird Kunst, buchstäblich und im übertragenen Sinne, die angebliche Fähigkeit zugeschrieben, eine kritische, politische Verantwortung zu tragen. Doch in den Trends der letzten Jahrzehnte - die Geburtswehen des Hyperkapitals und die ökologische Katastrophe – entwickelten sich kaum Formen der künstlerischen Praxis, die in der Lage sind, solchen Herausforderungen konzeptionell wirksam zu begegnen.Mit dem Niedergang der postmodernen Theorie und eine zunehmende Schwäche der neoliberalen ideologischen Hegemonie, ist eine ernsthafte Neubewertung einer "kritischen kulturellen Praxis" notwendig.

Im September 2009 lud World-Information Institute in New York eine Gruppe von digitalen Theoretikern und Praktikern ein zu debattieren, ob Kunst, jenseits einer "Kreative-Industrie" und der Dekoration von Katastrophen hinaus, eine Zukunft hat, - oder, falls nicht, welche neuen Arten von Ansätzen gefordert werden könnten. Das Buch "Kritische Strategien in Kunst und Medien" bietet dazu Anstösse.

Tiefgreifende Veränderungen im Zusammenhang mit globalen digitalen Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme stellen das kulturelle Erbe der Zukunft in Frage und erfordern unabhängige kulturelle Intelligenz und anhaltende politische Analyse kultureller Praxis.Buchpräsentation

Critical Strategies in Art and MediaPerspectives of New Cultural Practices

Konrad Becker, Jim Fleming (eds.)Autonomedia, New York, 2010

www.autonomedia.org

Welche kollektiven und kollaborativen Praktiken erfinden neue Terrains und Flows jenseits des überholten Models der Fetischobjekte des Künstlers oder Autors als Genie? Was ist die Rolle der Kunst und symbolischen Manipulation in einer von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien durchdrungenen Welt? Können wir neue Modelle identifizieren, die das Kunstobjekt und den individuellen Autor ersetzen? Wenn ja, woher kommen sie und was könnten sie über die Zukunft kritischer Praktiken aussagen?Welche neuen "virtuellen" Räume öffnen sich für kulturelle Praxis in elektronischen Medien? Wenn "alte Medien" unter dem Druck des Virtuellen zusammenzubrechen, welche neuen Medien lassen sich finden? Wo ist Platz für neue Formen von Überraschung und Intensität statt didaktischer Illustration und kanalisierter Dissidenz?

Mit welchen Strategien lässt sich dem unstillbaren Appetit der Creative Industries für alles Radikale begegnen? Gibt es Strategien, um diesem Schicksal zu entkommen und nicht zu Moden im Dienste von Verkaufszahlen reduziert zu werden? Oder sind kritische Praktiken dazu verurteilt, mit den Kräften der Konsumgesellschaft Katz und Maus zu spielen?

PCAP Vienna (Prof. Marina Gržinić); Studio Ilona Németh (Prof. Németh) Bratislava“DER DRANG NACH OSTEN – PARALLELS TOWARDS COLONIALITY AND POST-COLONIALISM WITHIN THE CENTRAEUROPEAN SPACE”

Short description of the project by Ivan Jurica

In November/December 2010 an exhibition project will be realised in the Galéria HIT in Bratislava/Slovakia (opening of the exhibition on 28.10.). Its title „Der Drang nach Osten – Parallels Towards Coloniality And Post-Colonialism Within The Central-European Space“ („Der Drang nach Osten – paralely ku kolonialite a post-kolonializmu v stredoeurópskom priestore“) focuses a re-writing of the official collective history (or rather histories) within the Central-European space.

The aim of the project is to create (through selected artworks and texts) a theoretical base for reconsidering the history and the presence of Central-European Space not just as any history or even nostalgia for the past, but as history of repressions based on borders, ideologies, religion, capital and exploitation (comparable to the history and presence of neo/coloniality). More than else in the world this space is to be thought as a laboratory of ideologies, each of them creating own socio-political systems with own, often completely contradictory, values; i.e. Austro-Hungarian Empire; National Socialism; Soviet Union & its satellites; Post 89 transition, but also interior histories as in case of ex-Czechoslovakia or ex-Yugoslavia, or repression of minorities within the states system.

As it is an art project, one of the main questions would be, what role had and still has the official art(history) and culture to fulfill within these processes of repression, colonization and its naturalization ..?

Another constitutive part of the project is a small symposium with theoreticians on art and economy (25.11.) and a group workshop on Coloniality between the students of the Academy of Fine Arts (VŠVU), Bratislava (Studio Prof.Ilona Németh) and the PCAP (Post-Conceptual Art Practices; Prof.Marina Gržinić) at the Academy Of Fine Arts in Vienna (24. - 26.11.). All theoretical events will take place at the Academy in Bratislava.

The Milk of Sorrow, 2009Original title: La teta asustadaDirector: Claudia LlosaLength: 97 minLanguage spoken: Spanish, Quechua.Subtitles: German

Between 1980 and 1992 Peru experienced a period of very hard violence, particularly in the Andean region, because of the uprising of the Maoist group Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) and the actions of the paramilitary and state armed forces. Claudia Llosa refers in her film to the belief that the trauma experienced by women who were raped by members of security force was passed on to their children through the milk from their breasts. Thus, this period of violence continues to affect not only those who experienced it, but also the next generation.

Decolonial Aesthetics - Colloquium with Madina Tlostanova and Walter Mignolo

Tuesday, 5. 10. 2010 – M13in English – open to general public

17:00 Decolonial AestheticsColloquium with Madina Tlostanova and Walter Mignolo

Madina Tlostanova: Contemporary art as decolonial knowledge production in the world of imperial difference: institutions, artists, phenomenaWalter Mignolo: (De)coloniality of knowing, being and sensing

The lectures introduce two concepts: de-linking and de-coloniality, (both reworked by Walter Mignolo and Madina Tlostanova) that implicate a cut within contemporary processes of capitalist institutionalization, control and subjugation. De-linking means to de-link ourselves from the unrestrainment of capital that does not allow just a simple opposition, as it does not function as it did in the 1970s as a unity of capital and power, but as co-propriety of capital and power. Therefore, what is necessary is to draw a line of division, in order to de-link ourselves from capital and power. De-coloniality, on the other hand, presents a political position that draws a line inside contemporary processes of coloniality and goes beyond post-colonialism.

Walter Mignolo is William H. Wannamaker Professor of Literature and Romance Studies and Director of the Center for Global Studies and the Humanities, at Duke University. Mignolo's work, currently being discussed across disciplines and internationally, focuses on semiotics, discourse analysis and literary theory. Since the 1980s, he has written extensively in English and Spanish on the invention of the Americas, the coloniality of knowledge, and the political, ethical and epistemological imperative to decolonise knowledge and knowledge production. His work, which has been translated into Portuguese, French and Russian, includes The Darker Side of the Renaissance (1994 and 2003, awarded the Katherine Kovacs Singer Prize from the MLA), Local Histories/Global Designs (2000) and The Idea of Latin America (2005, awarded the Frantz Fanon Prize from the Caribbean Philosophical Association.) His forthcoming book, The Darker Side of Western Modernity: Global Futures, Decolonial Options is the third of a trilogy, together with The Darker Side of the Renaissance and Local Histories/Global Designs.

Madina Tlostanova is professor of History of Philosophy at Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. She has authored over 130 articles many of which were published in Europe and the US, four books in Russian – Multicultural Discourse and US Fiction of the Late 20th Century (Moscow, 2000), Living Never; Writing from Nowhere: Post-soviet Literature and the Aesthetics of Transculturation (Moscow, 2004), From the Philosophy of Multiculturalism to the Philosophy of Trans-culturation (New York, 2008), Decolonial Gender Epistemologies (Moscow, 2009) and two in English – A Janus-Faced Empire. Notes on the Russian Empire in Modernity Written from the Border (Moscow, 2003) and The Sublime of Globalization? Sketches on Trans-cultural Subjectivity and Aesthetics (Moscow, 2005).

The colloquium is co-organized with Creating Worlds, research project, Eipcp Vienna

The organization of the Colloquium with Walter Mignolo and Madina Tlostanova is part of the Post-conceptual Art Practices (PCAP) Class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. It is a specifically conceived work of research of contemporary art and de-coloniality, connected with the passage from biopolitics to necropolitics. Over the last years, several reading seminars have been organized by the PCAP open to the whole Academy, and art works were produced originating from this process. This is as well the context for the present colloquium.

1st Jour Fixe of Plattform Geschichtspolitik (Platform History Politics*)The work group “Platform for History Politics” is an initiative of students, activists and teachers associated with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, which defines itself as an open collective, according to the logic of the work groups that have been formed within the Academy occupation of 2009/2010. It marks the beginning of a continuous process of critically reflecting and publicly dealing with the Academy’s participation in Colonialism, (Austro-)Fascism and Nazism. As is all too usual for Austrian institutions, these histories of the Academy have been repressed thus far. One of the few projects that publicly dealt with the fascist and nazist history of the Academy (the only one?) is a symposium and a subsequent publication that were initiated and organized by a group of students in 1990 who were then faced with the opposition of the institution (“Im Reich der Kunst” --> .pdf: staff.akbild.ac.at ~100 MB).

Since October 2009, the working group has tried to link its activities to that work, aiming at establishing a platform for the broader discussion of history politics at the Academy. Considering the overwhelming quantity of relevant subjects and simultaneously limited resources, it was decided to focus on a certain time period during the first phase of the project, the one spanning from shortly before until shortly after National Socialism. Four subjects were defined for concentrated work: interviews with contemporary witnesses, the provenience research of the Academy’s library and art collections, the restitution of possible dispossessed objects, and critical interventions in architectural and spatial manifestations.

“History Politics” is a literal translation of the German term “Geschichtspolitik” and is used since there is no generally-accepted translation. It refers to the fact that the construction of history and its political interpretation are immanent to history as such.

Reading Group: Plattform GeschichtspolitikGiorgio Agamben: "Remnants of Auschwitz - The Witness and the Archive"

"In its form, this book is a kind of perpetual commentary on testimony. It did not seem possible to proceed otherwise. At a certain point, it became clear that testimony contained at its core an essential lacuna; in other words, the survivors bore witness to something it is impossible to bear witness to. As a consequence, commenting on survivors' testimony necessarily meant interrogating this lacuna or, more precisely, attempting to listen to it. Listening to something absent did not prove fruitless work for this author. Above all, it made it necessary to clear away almost all the doctrines that, since Auschwitz, have been advanced in the name of ethics."—Giorgio Agamben

Giorgio Agamben is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Venice. He is the author of Profanations (2007), Remnants of Auschwitz: The Witness and the Archive (2002), both published by Zone Books, and other books.

"Agamben's moving text on the Nazi death camps asks what happens to speech when the deracinated subject speaks. Although some say that Auschwitz makes witnessing impossible, Agamben shows how the one who speaks bears this impossibility within his own speech, bordering the human and the inhuman. Agamben probes for us the condition of speech at the limit of the human, evoking the horror and the near unspeakability of the inhuman as it witnesses in language its own undoing."—Judith Butler, Maxine Elliot Professor of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, University of California, Berkeley

READING:bell hooks - Critical Genealogies: Writing Black ArtIn: Art On My Mind: Visual Politics, New York Press, 1995(proposed by Marissa Lobo)bell hooks is an author, feminist, and social activist. She is mainly known as a feminist thinker, her writings cover a broad range of topics on gender, race, teaching and the significance of media for contemporary culture. She strongly believes that these topics cannot be dealt with as separately, but must be understood as being interconnectedness. As an example, she refers to the idea of a "White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy" and its interconnectedness, rather than to its more traditionally separated and component parts.Art On My Mind: Visual Politics is a critical response to dialogues about producing, exhibiting and criticizing art and aesthetics at a time when the art world is locked in an analysis of identity politics. The book addresses the question of how art can be an empowering and revolutionary force within the black community.10.05.2010, MONDAYM1 at 20.30Peter Haselmayer, performance, diploma discussion

At 19.00 Panel Diskussion über kollektive politische Praxen

WHERE: Radowanhalle (neben Café AN-DO), Yppenplatz 11-15 1160 WienNearest U-bahn station: line U6/ station: Josefstädter Straße

The panel discussion is part of the project “AG Migration und Antirassismus SOHO Projekt” initiated by AG anti-racism and migration that was constituted within the university protests in Vienna 2009/2010.Panel languages: English and GermanThe recent analysis is informing us that the subjugation of the self i.e. of the subject or human being has become the subjugation of the self to the extreme degree i.e. extreme subjectification that imposes extreme passivity and individualism. The self is seen in its co-dependence on the long history of capitalism. Racism is tolerated as some kind of social mechanism that compensate for other pressures imposed upon societies. Thus, racism is conceptualized as regulator (ventil) necessary for the “normal” wellbeing of societies. On the other hand, capitalist structures are imposing control, fragmentization, individualization and particularization through identity politics. Subjects are uniting on the basis of the fiction of ethnicity, nation, etc. Therefore, struggles focus on gaining one more right for one specific group within the system that functions through the rule of non-rights as complement of rights, system that is excluding while including. Structural issues related to capitalism that is based on exploitation and functions through construction of race (besides other mechanisms) are not taken in consideration. In order to intervene in such frame, we would like to discuss different proposals or forms of organization: from self-organization to extreme-organization conceptualized because, as said, due to the extreme subjectification by capital today, the concept of self organization is becoming less and less able to account for the radical political intervention within/against the global neo-liberal capitalist order . Furthermore, we want to discuss what kind of strategies and analysis we need today.

Plattform Geschichtspolitik: Stadtspaziergang zu ausgewählten „Türkendenkmälern“ im 1. Bezirkmit Silvia Dallinger, Johann Heiss, Johanna Witzeling (Institut für Sozialanthropologie, Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften)

Dauer Stadtspaziergang: ca. 1 ½ Stundenanschließend Gruppendiskussion: ca. 2 Stunden am Institut für Soziologie (Rooseveltplatz 2, gegenüber Votivkirche, 4. Stock, Besprechungszimmer)

Als „Bollwerk des christlichen Abendlandes“ – so präsentiert sich Wien im öffentlichen Raum mittels zahlreicher Denkmäler, die an die Zweite Wiener Türkenbelagerung 1683 erinnern. Das interdisziplinäre Dissertationsprojekt „Die Türken vor (und in) Wien“ untersucht das bereits seit Jahrhunderten im kollektiven Gedächtnis der Österreicher und Österreicherinnen verankerte Geschichtsbild „der Türken“, das bis heute immer wieder (re)aktiviert, aktualisiert und instrumentalisiert worden ist. Ein Stadtspaziergang durch den 1. Bezirk soll die Hintergründe der Entstehung, der Funktionen und Bedeutungen ausgewählter „Türkendenkmäler“ veranschaulichen. Inwiefern tragen diese Siegessymbole des Mythos „Türkenbelagerung“ und aktuelle Rückgriffe auf 1683 („Abendland in Christenhand“) auch heute noch dazu bei, Türken(feind)bilder zu tradieren? In einer Gruppendiskussion im Anschluss an den Rundgang wird es die Möglichkeit zu einem ausführlichen Austausch geben, dabei soll vor allem die Frage erörtert werden, ob und wie ein kritisch-reflexiver Diskurs über den Umgang mit dem Gedenken an 1683 bzw. konkret mit „Türkendenkmälern“ stattfinden soll und welche Rolle die Kunst dabei spielen könnte.Um verbindliche Teilnahme an der Gruppendiskussion wird gebeten.

Name der/des Lehrenden: Mag. Dr. Birge Krondorfer

Kurzbeschreibung/Inhalt der Lehrveranstaltung:Geld ist objektiv u n d subjektiv. Als allgemeines Äquivalent repräsentiert es Abstraktes und Konkretes zugleich. Es ist reales Kapital und symbolischer Code in einem. Es reguliert unsere sozialen Bezüge. Geld ist Mangel und Fülle, Schuld und Gabe, Tauschen und Täuschen. Geld verweist auf sich selbst und immer auf anderes. Aber was und warum wird da ge - und vertauscht, angewiesen, überwiesen, abgewiesen? Es geht hier um diagnostische Aspekte des Un/Heimlichen, des Umtriebigen des Phänomens Geld.Geld, scheinbar d a s neutrale Medium erweist sich als ein hochkomplexes, ebenso metaphysisch konnotiertes wie tiefendimensionales Phänomen, das wie selbstverständlich Leben und Alltag strukturiert und dabei Geschlechterverhältnisse ebenso offensichtlich wie undurchschaubar reguliert.

Einführungs- und Überblicksinputs, gemeinsame Lektüren, Kleingruppenreferate, Diskussionen, Filmdokumentationen, individuelle schriftliche Abschlussreflexion. Anwesenheit und aktive Partizipation werden vorausgesetzt.

Workshop on TELENOVELA

Hansel Sato had a project TelenovelaGalerie Aula/Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Wien, 2008

Das Projekt "Telenovela" an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien basiert auf einem Vorschlag von AbsolventInnen der Akademie, die selbst lateinamerikanischer Herkunft sind oder mit den Telenovelas im südosteuropäischen Alltag konfrontiert wurden. Hansel Sato und Carla Bobadilla haben dann weitere KünstlerInnen eingeladen, eine kleine Ausstellung zum Thema der Telenovela zusammen zu stellen und deren kulturellen Koordinaten künstlerisch zu reflektieren. Das mediale Spektrum ihrer Praxis reicht dabei von der Malerei, über die Zeichnung und Fotografie bis zur Sound-Installation, zur Performance und zum Video. Die künstlerischen Perspektiven reichen von dokumentarischem Material bis zur Parodie. Weit davon entfernt ein umfassendes Bild der Komplexität dieses Themas abliefern zu wollen, orientiert sich das Projekt an einer kritischen Skizze. Was diese Skizze aber vermittelt, ist die Schnittstelle eines künstlerischen Diskurses und einer manifesten problematischen Alltagskultur. Diese Schnittstelle fordert von der künstlerischen Praxis mehr als nur die Produktion von Kunstwerken. Implizit reicht die künstlerische Praxis hier von der Recherche, der interdisziplinären Übersetzung und der Methodenkritik bis hin zur kuratorischen Arbeit.

Workshop organized by the group Telenovela in the class.

What is the logic behind interventions of private financial institutions in artistic and cultural space of so-called Southeastern Europe? What is their relation to public institutions? How can we understand these interventions within the framework of re-awakened Austrian imperialist aspirations? How are interventions by actors other than governments and private financial institutions (for example artists, curators) connected to coloniality and western exceptionalism? How would an artistic intervention which de-links from the global capitalist understanding of intervention look like? What are or would be counter-strategies?

READ MORE ABOUT Plattform GeschichtspolitikPlattform Geschichtspolitik

English description:The work group “Platform for History Politics”* is an initiative of students, activists and teachers associated with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, which defines itself as an open collective, according to the logic of the work groups that have been formed within the Academy occupation of 2009/2010. It marks the beginning of a continuous process of critically reflecting and publicly dealing with the Academy’s participation in Colonial-ism, (Austro-)Fascism and National Socialism. As is all too usual for Austrian institu-tions, these histories of the Academy have been repressed thus far. One of the few pro-jects that publicly dealt with the fascist and National Socialist history of the Academy (the only one?) is a symposium and a subsequent publication that were initiated and or-ganized by a group of students in 1990 who were then faced with the opposition of the institution (see the recommended scholarly reading: “Im Reich der Kunst”).

During the spring 2010 term, those subjects should be elaborated on, whereas new participants will have the possibility of defining different fields of work according to their interests if required. Furthermore, additional networking with initiatives dealing with related subjects outside of the Academy is projected, such as:•Meeting with the participants of the “Arbeitskreis zur Umgestaltung des Lueger-Denkmals” (University of Applied Arts Vienna)•Guided tour alongside the historical manifestations at the University of Vienna by Herbert Posch (Institute for Contemporary History, University of Vienna) includ-ing a meeting with Bele Marx and Minna Antowa who reconfigured the “Sieg-friedkopf” monument•City tour alongside selected “Türkendenkmäler” (monuments referring to the Ot-toman Wars in Europe) in the 1st district by Silvia Dallinger, Marion Gollner, Jo-hann Heiss and Johanna Witzeling (DOC-Team at the Austrian Academy of Sci-ences, research project: “Die Türken vor (und in) Wien” – Zur Vermittlung und Vergegenwärtigung von Geschichtsbildern der “osmanischen Bedrohung” in Österreich)

“History Politics” is a literal translation of the German term “Geschichtspolitik” and is used since there is no generally-accepted translation. It refers to the fact that the construc-tion of history and its political interpretation are immanent to history as such.

Deutsche Beschreibung:Die Arbeitsgruppe Plattform Geschichtspolitik ist eine Initiative von Student_innen, Aktivist_innen und Lehrenden, die der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien nahe stehen und versteht sich als offenes Kollektiv im Sinne jener Arbeitsgruppen die im Rahmen der Akademiebesetzung entstanden sind. Sie markiert den Beginn eines kontinuierlichen Prozesses, in dem die Teilhabe der Akademie an Kolonialismus, (Austro-)Faschismus und Nationalsozialismus kritisch reflektiert und öffentlich verhandelt wird. Wie in österreichischen Institutionen allzu üblich, wurden diese Geschichten der Akademie bisher verdrängt. Eines der wenigen Projekte, welches Faschismus und Nationalsozialismus an der Akademie thematisierte (das einzige?), ist ein 1990 von einer Gruppe Studierender, gegen beträchtliche Widerstände aus der Institution, initiiertes und organisiertes Symposium samt nachfolgender Publikation (siehe empfohlene Fachliteratur: „Im Reich der Kunst“).

Seit Oktober 2009 versucht die Plattform Geschichtspolitik nun an die bestehende Arbeit anzuknüpfen um eine Plattform für breitere Diskussionen über Geschichtspolitiken an der Akademie zu etablieren. Angesichts der beträchtlichen Anzahl relevanter Themen bei gleichzeitig beschränkten Ressourcen, wurde entschieden den Fokus während der ersten Phase des Projekts auf einen begrenzten Zeitraum zu legen, jenen kurz vor bis kurz nach dem Nationalsozialismus. Hierbei wurden vier Schwerpunkte definiert: Interviews mit Zeitzeug_innen, Provenienzforschung über die Bestände der Bibliothek und der Kunstsammlungen der Akademie, die Restitution etwaiger geraubter Güter und kritische Interventionen in architektonische und räumliche Manifestationen.

Im Sommersemester 2010 soll weiter an den bisherigen Schwerpunkten gearbeitet werden, wobei alle neuen Teilnehmer_innen auch die Möglichkeit haben bei Bedarf andere Arbeitsfelder gemäß ihren Interessen festzulegen. Darüber hinaus ist die weitere Vernetzung mit Initiativen geplant die sich außerhalb der Akademie mit verwandten Themen befassen:•Treffen mit Teilnehmer_innen des „Arbeitskreis zur Umgestaltung des Lueger-Denkmals” (Universität für angewandte Kunst)•Führung durch geschichtspolitische Manifestationen an der Universität Wien von Herbert Posch (Institut für Zeitgeschichte, Uni Wien) inklusive einem Treffen mit Bele Marx und Minna Antowa, den Umgestalter_innen des Siegfriedkopfs•Stadtrundgang zu ausgewählten „Türkendenkmälern“ im 1. Bezirk mit Silvia Dallinger, Marion Gollner, Johann Heiss und Johanna Witzeling (DOC-Team an der Akademie der Wissenschaften, Forschungsprojekt: „Die Türken vor (und in) Wien“ – Zur Vermittlung und Vergegenwärtigung von Geschichtsbildern der „osmanischen Bedrohung“ in Österreich)

Project “SEMINAR Decolonizing Knowledge and Life through Theory and Art”Reading and discussion: Frantz Fanon "The Wretched of the Earth", Grove Weidenfeld, New York, 1961Format: reading group, discussions, conceiving art works based on art and theory connectionOrganized by Ivana Marjanović, PhD candidate, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and students PCAP, Akbild, Vienna

FRANTZ FANON (1925-1961)

Using Marxist, psychoanalytic, and sociological analysis, Fanon summed up his views in The Wretched of the Earth (1961), arguing that only a thorough, truly socialist revolution carried out by the oppressed peasantry (the wretched of the earth) could bring justice to the colonized.

The project “Seminar Decolonizing Knowledge and Life through Theory and Art” is conceptualized as a continuation of the theory reading group that was organized in the past summer semester in 2009 in the Post-conceptual Art Practices class by Marina Gržinić and Ivana Marjanović. The theory reading group has proved that there is a growing interest by students for reading theory and discussing it in the format of reading group and thus the idea of organizing a special seminar appeared.
