e-stuttgart.org versteht sich als offenes Diskussionsforum zu den – im engeren und weiteren Sinne – kulturpolitischen Entwicklungen in Stuttgart. Vor dem Hintergrund jahrzehntelanger Kürzungen und Stagnationen der Zuschüsse im Kulturbereich, den aktuell drohenden erneuten Einschnitten im Kulturetat, den Diskussionen um die Abschaffung der Geisteswissenschaften an der Universität Stuttgart oder den kontroversen Debatten um „Stuttgart 21“, geht e-stuttgart.org im Oktober 2009 online: Um die kulturpolitischen Zustände in dieser Stadt auf breiter Ebene zu diskutieren, Informationen zu bündeln und auf vielfältige Weise in Aktion zu treten.

This project sets out to reconstruct the aesthetic and political dimension acquired by conceptual practices in Catalonia during the nineteen-seventies. With this in view, the analysis has been oriented toward a set of proposals developed in a variety of areas—art, architecture, design, film, and education—which nevertheless all shared the same circuits of visibility, closely related language and attitudes, and certain ideological positions that were characterized by their spirit of protest and antagonism. The core of the project consists of five pieces by the Grup de Treball that in some sense point to the disciplines mentioned above. In order to contextualize these, a heterogeneous archive has been put together, drawn from the documentary holdings of (amongst others) the COAC (Association of Architects of Catalonia), the Sala Vinçon gallery, the FAD decorative arts association, and the Elisava and Eina design schools, along with a number of art projects—the film Esquizo (Schizo) by the Taller de Arquitectura and Reflexões sobre a morte (Reflections on Death) by Antoni Muntadas, among others—and also a selection of visual and bibliographical documents from those years.

“Where is Now?” picks up at the archive as a repository for the present— a medial place where reality is not only stored and formatted in images and documents but also interpreted and configured anew through each individual access. Here, time itself becomes a malleable substance, the material of playful intervention and radical reinterpretation. From the perspective of different presents—from the nineteen-sixties through today—the films and videos in this program frustrate the linear progression of time.

Historical crises and turning points in particular, which still today determine the rhythm of our time calculations, are encountered by the works with skepticism. Their protagonists develop strategies for overcoming history—by proclaiming new beginnings, by inhabiting the permanent crisis of a precarious present, or by staging a retro-future against the backdrop of dated utopias. The works problematize the state of experience and perception as well as of agency and representation under archive conditions: in the images self-created by societies in order to ensure their presentness, in the ways in which embodied memory becomes manifest, and in the medial exploration of deviance and dissent.

Abstract
With the advent of the so-called information age, much seemed prone to vanish: the body, the space, the city, the book along with its institution, the library. But everything returns, and not only as visual metaphors on monitor surfaces. While the physical body has proved to be an equally ineluctable and refractory factor in technical thing ensembles, megacities—notably illustrated by media geography through their radiant diagrams and maps—have asserted themselves as spatial and economic centers of a globally networked media culture. And despite an increasing digitalization that includes historical text and image inventory, libraries have been experiencing an unexpected renaissance over the past years, as attested to by a series of spectacular newly erected libraries.

Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart
December 13 + 14, 2008, each day: 12 – 6 pm
Workshop (english)
Registration till Monday, December 1, 2008
at: zentraleremove-this@remove-thiswkv-stuttgart.de

The aim of the workshop is to facilitate reflection on the structures of the “archive culture” process. We will delve into the methods of exploring and reinterpreting the archive along with the possibilities these present, intervening artistically using various methods. We are also going to test new public participation models of understanding and working with the archive. This process takes shape as a platform, understood as a cooperative space, enabling the work done to be shared through workshops, actions, and other instruments, opening up a vast range of possibilities for collective intervention and participation. During the workshop period, forms of creative, critical, and subversive handlings of media and new technologies, in both theory and practice, shall be developed. The focus of the workshop thereby additionally lies in the specific information and archive situation of our society. The project furthermore offers an opportunity to examine strategies of “artist practice in the Postcapital Archive”—a new public space having long been influenced by new information and communications technologies.

Im Württembergischen Kunstverein Stuttgart: Daniel García Andújar spürt mit “Postcapital” der Medientotalität nach

Eine Ausstellung ist eine Ausstellung, ist eine Skulptur, ist eine Analyse, ist eine Frage, ist ein Forschungsfeld – und als solches bei allen Erkenntnisversuchen durchaus Gegenstand der Repräsentation. Auch dann oder vielleicht erst recht, wenn der gefundene Titel “Postcapital” lautet – und entsprechend viele Assoziationsräume eröffnet.

VON NIKOLAI B. FORSTBAUER
Artikel aus den STUTTGARTER NACHRICHTEN vom 25.11.2008

Die ersten Bilder? Volkspolizisten auf der Berliner Mauer. Sicher und unsicher zugleich. Überzeugt und ratlos, Uniformierte als menschliche Zeichen des Übergangs. Nur wenige Meter weiter Uniformierte in der gleichen Haltung, mit gleicher Pose, gleicher Geste. Und doch gehen die filmischen Beobachtungen ganz anders weiter. Panzer rollen auf dem Platz des Himmlischen Friedens, Leichen werden in den Straßen von Santiago de Chile eilig weggeschleppt oder achtlos auf Lastwagen gezerrt. Die Zäsur 1989, so macht uns der spanische Medienkünstler Daniel García Andújar deutlich, ist in ihrer Ausprägung nicht denkbar ohne die Geschichte und die Geschichten zuvor.
