Daniel Garcia Andujar – Postkapital Arşiv 1989-2001


Riva Vakfı

“Postkapital Arşiv 1989-2001″
Daniel García Andújar, 21 Nisan 2010

Proje, eşit ölçekte, bir multimedya instalasyonu, sahne sunumu, açık veri tabanı ve atölye çalışması olarak tasarlanmıştır ve sanatçının geçtiğimiz 10 yıl içerisinde İnternet’ten derlediği 250.000’in üzerinde belgeden (metinler, işitsel dosyalar, videolar vs.) oluşmaktadır.

Postkapital, geride bıraktığımız 20 yıllık zaman diliminde, dünya genelinde sosyal, siyasi, ekonomik ve kültürel ölçekte yaşanan sert değişimi ve bu sürecin 1989’da Berlin Duvarı’nın yıkılması ve 2001 yılındaki 11 Eylül saldırıları ile simgeleşen enstantanelerini eksen almaktadır. Andujar, Duvar’ın yıkılmasının ardından yaşanan gelişmeleri post-komünizm değil, post-kapitalizm unsurları olarak değerlendirmektedir. Bu noktada beliren soru ise kapitalist toplumların bir zamanki eşdeğerlerinin yokluğunda ne ölçüde değiştiği ve 1989 ile 2001 olaylarını takip eden küresel siyaset ortamında başka hangi yeni duvarların örüldüğüdür.

Kapitalizmin zafer iddiaları ile Batı demokrasileri-eski Yugoslavya’daki çatışmaların, Irak’taki savaşın ya da daha yakın tarihte ABD’de finansal piyasalarda yaşanan dalgalanmaların gösterdiği üzere, barışı, güveni ve istikrarı sağlayamamıştır. “Postkapital”, 21. yüzyılın karmaşık ve çelişkili olgularını, temsili yapı çerçevesinde ele almayı amaçlayan bir çalışmadır; prelüdü Andujar tarafından 1989 ve 2001 olayları arasındaki zaman dilimi olarak gösterilen bir dönemin değerlendirilmesidir.

Daniel G. Andújar, Lapses

In front of the photograph of my mother as a child, I tell myself: she is going to die: I shudder,like Winnicott’s psychotic patient, over a catastrophe, which has already occurred.Whether or not the subject is already dead, every photograph is this catastrophe.
Roland Barthes

Başak Şenova*

Today, media collects and distributes images for us with immense speed and magnitude.We are surrounded by these images; and more than ever, all communication technologies -as efficient apparatuses of late capitalism- infuse our lives with vast attacks of images. Nevertheless, we have also learned from the same sources that the meaning of any image is dependent on the context. It is not only the images, but also ideologies and realities behind the images that are being created for us.In this respect, “Postcapital”, as an ironically questioning archive developed by Daniel G. Andújar, shoots back with the same gun by detecting lapses in our perceptionand explanation of political, cultural, economic, social, and even technological conditions and realities. He indexes our cognitive mechanisms. Read the rest of this entry »

2009 Venice Biennial Turkish Pavilion delves into concept of ‘LAPSE’

Curator Başak Şenova’s project, “Lapses,” which is going to be showcased in the Turkish Pavilion during this year’s Venice Biennial, was introduced to the press this week by Şenova and artists of the exhibition Ahmet Öğüt and Banu Cennetoğlu.

Şenova explained that the word “lapse” connotes numerous verbs and nouns in English, yet there is no one word that corresponds to it in Turkish. “A lapse in the linear and continuous flow of time implies either a sense of disorientation or a disconnection with our personal surroundings. Only by recognizing such a lapse do we realize our ability to restructure memory in the space and time continuum through an uninterrupted flow, with afterimages that recur by narrations and our senses,” she said, adding that the whole project is based on reconstructing the memory again and again by remembering the past.

Cennetoğlu’s photographs are presented in the form of a performative “mail order catalog,” where hundreds of photographs are classified under subjective categories. All of the photographs from the mailing catalog can be downloaded for free exclusively during the duration of the Venice Biennial. “Rather than selling my works for higher amounts, I chose to give them away for free, so, in a way, the audience will be rewarded when they go home,” she said, explaining the reasoning behind her work.

UNRECORDED

UNRECORDED
5 March – 16 April 2008
Akbank Sanat, Istanbul
Curated by Basak Senova
istanbul unrecorded
The perceptual re-construction of space is a continuous process, generated by diverse inputs such as our senses, memory, history, consciousness as well as technology. It is a process, consisting of momentary fragments, which are impossible to record. They are temporary, augmented, designed, and loaded.

“Unrecorded” exhibition looks at the notion of space as a decisive factor in our perception of the realities that surround us. The works of Kati London (US), Thomas Duc (France), Laila El-Haddad (Palestine), Dan Phiffer (US), Mushon Zer-Aviv (Israel), Daniel Garcia Andujar (Spain), Zhou Hongxiang (China), Banu Cennetoglu (Turkey), Negar Tahsili (Iran), Kate Armstrong (Canada), and Ali Taptik (Turkey) unfold and restructure all possible perceptual codes through their own inspections, observations, and approaches. They ask questions about the physicality of the space; content of mediatized spaces; clashes between realities and perception of spaces; spaces and situations, discharging information; and narrative spaces.
