Über die Poetiken / Politiken der Stimme

13. Oktober 2012 – 13. Januar 2013

Acts of Voicing ist ein zweijähriges Projekt, das sich der ästhetischen, performativen und politischen Bedeutung der Stimme aus den Bereichen bildende Kunst, Tanz / Performance und Theorie nähert.

Ausgangspunkt ist dabei die Befragung jener Ordnung, die die Stimmen der Einen als Rede, und die der Anderen als bloßen Schrei vernehmen lässt: das heißt, jene Aufteilung zwischen den aus der politischen Gemeinschaft Aus- und in diese Eingegrenzten.

Wie lassen sich mit den Mitteln der Kunst – konkret der bildenden Kunst und des Tanzes – einerseits, und der Theorie andererseits die Stimmen der Nicht-Gehörten, eine andere Kultur des Zuhörens und eine Kultur des Streits (des Unvernehmens) ins Spiel bringen? Inwiefern können sich künstlerische und theoretische Methoden dabei gegenseitig durchdringen, zu- und miteinander sprechen? Wie lassen sich Stimme, Raum und Wissen zum Tanzen bringen?

In einem gemeinsamen Prozess, an dem KünstlerInnen, Choreografen, TheoretikerInnen und KuratorInnen aus Europa, Asien und Südamerika beteiligt sind, sollen diese und weitere Fragen verhandelt, neue Arbeiten produziert und auch die Ausstellungschoreografie entwickelt werden. Denn neben der inhaltlichen Beschäftigung mit den Politiken und Poetiken der Stimme, möchte Acts of Voicing auch die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen eines performativen Ausstellungsmodells ausloten. Geplant ist eine Choreografie, bei der sich das Ausstellungsszenario selbst immer wieder verändert. Entstehen soll ein dynamisches Raumgefüge, das immer neue und überraschende Beziehungen zwischen Exponaten und Ereignissen, Ausstellung und Aufführung, ästhetischer und diskursiver Praxis sowie Kunst und Betrachter herstellt.

On Unease at Beholding the City
May 17 – July 29, 2012

Daniel García Andújar, Yvonne P. Doderer / Ute Meta Bauer, Martin Eberle, Michael Fehr / Diethelm Koch, Ludger Gerdes, Kirill Golovchenko, Eiko Grimberg, Justin Hibbs, Jung Yeondoo, Lim Minouk, Noh Suntag, Alfons Pressnitz, Malwine Rafalski, John Smith, Klaus Staeck, The RSA, Tuomas Toivonen / Nene Tsuboi, Brian Ulrich, Michael Vahrenwald, Pablo Wendel, Matthias Zielfeld and others

From May 17 to July 29, 2012 the Württembergischer Kunstverein will be showing Oh, My Complex: On Unease at Beholding the City, an that approaches the imaginaries, representations, and realities of the city from different directions: from the angle of architectural and urban constructions of the nineteen-thirties through today; from Europe, the USA, South America, and Asia; from the perspectives of art, , pop, and protest cultures starting from the seventies.

Along an open parcourse, which connects exterior and interior space, the exhibition presents the works of over twenty artists who have honed in on the urban-development, social, political, and economic lines of conflict within the city. Their works touch upon historical documents and objects from pop- and sub-culture contexts. Presented are not only existing works, but also those conceptualized especially for this setting.

FOKUS FESTIVAL
Screen from Barcelona has been invited to participate at FOKUS Art Festival 2012, the second edition of the festival initiated by Nikolaj Kunsthal in 2012.

Cacotopía (Daniel G. Andujar and Avelino Sala)2011. 23m 45 s. from avelino sala on Vimeo.

On this ocasion SFB has curated a programme that reflects on the different modes and strategies of production. We believe that these are key issues of interest to artists, institutions and agents involved in the creative cultural field, enabling the collective discussion in the frame of FOKUS Festival. Furthermore, the selection will allow us to map out our network methodology and explain our premises as a platform and a festival.

On another hand and beyond the strand of production, the pieces also share affinities in that they all portray a series of heterotopias, in the sense described by M. Foucault: they explore landscapes and places which encapsulate an strong “other” imaginaries, different from what they appear to be, and are situated at the heart of society –be this symbolical, historical or physical- but constitute its margins, its limits. It is in a way an attempt to trace a spectral geography of histories blurred by official narratives, the suspended time of the prison, the remnants of the spectacle, and the dystopias of the metropolis

In a landscape where reality has long ceased to be seen without the presence of auxiliary instruments, which constructs at the same time its registration and setting it up as an archive, the experience does not conform directly in contact with the world but as a mediated doppelgänger. In this type of situation we should not forget that each of the disseminating and accumulating structures that support the architecture of the information is itself a technology with a built-in ideological organisational criteria, of inclusion and exclusion.
This project is built from reflections on creative reading with an active attitude regarding materials from libraries, archives, collections or found-materials establishing with a critical fascination some series of narrative itineraries that discover hidden relationships from the intra-history, the creation of fictions and the infraordinary to practice a critical reading of their architecture, an anarcheology of the structures of knowledge and the everyday-life as well as an analysis of structures of consciousness formation.   Continue reading »

The theme of this eleventh edition of is The Social Contract. That term has been used in political and philosophical theories since the 17th century, but still emerges regularly today, in interviews with politicians, political party programs and debates. Even the early adopters of the social contract theory, such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, used and interpreted the concept in different ways. The classic interpretation concerns the relation between the individual as a citizen and a political entity, in which the individual sacrifices part of his freedom and power in order for the state to offer safety and social and economic security to the citizen. But what is the position of the social contract in our current times of crisis in a globalized world? Continue reading »
