mediating conflict ::::

Sylvie Lacerte

What is the term “mediating conflict” if not redundant, since mediation itself implies the existence of conflict? And why would anyone create and organize an exhibition on the subject?

This exhibition is intended as a reflection on the need for access to a middleman to resolve conflicts—latent or declared—in society in general, but also in the contemporary art world. With La mediation du conflit/, I hope to delve deeper, into the reasons why disagreements are rarely resolved, particularly in the sphere of art—a sphere where these quarrels often lead to frustration among “those who feel they are not being heard.” The exhibition aims to prompt questioning about the meaning of mediation and its intrinsic conflict, whose dark underside we seem so fearful to confront in the art world. If the exhibition title therefore seems redundant, given that mediation by definition incorporates the notion of conflict, it is so worded to ensure it is not simply implicit but is in fact emphasized. Its purpose is to stand in stark contrast to certain opaque discussions on art in which only the players intimately involved can fully grasp the issues. Those outside contemporary art circles frequently find themselves ill-equipped to understand the finer points of a work or exhibition. It is often out of this implicit doxa savante(1) that the conflicts emerge, and should they then become highly charged and unrestrained, efforts are made to silence them at all costs lest they tarnish art’s image. Why should conflict within the art milieu generate such alarm? After all, conflict already permeates our day-to-day existence. It is present in our personal and professional lives, and in foreign relations and the political arena, conflict is fast becoming the order of the day. Read the rest of this entry »

Daniel G Andújar

De nos jours, le champ visuel est étroitement associé au territoire contemporain de la culture numérique  : divertissements numériques, publicité… Les artistes ne sont dorénavant plus les seuls capables d’influencer l’imaginaire visuel. Je pense d’ailleurs que nous avons perdu un peu de cette capacité et qu’il est peut-être temps d’arrêter de faire tant de bruit, de produire des images. Cela ne veut pas nécessairement dire cesser de travailler avec des images, ce que nous – artistes – savons bien faire, ou à tout le moins devrions-nous le savoir. Engageons-nous dans cette bataille, mais sachons également apprécier d’autres points de vue. Il importe de découvrir ce qui se cache derrière ces images; en fait, il importe d’enseigner aux gens comment les décoder, de les aider à déchiffrer le code des structures visuelles ; de montrer les antécédents ou l’étayage de toutes ces images; en bref, d’exposer leurs entrailles. Les images constituent un langage riche de potentiel, mais un potentiel engagé dans un combat : qui le contrôle ? Le langage transforme le monde. Voici l’un de nos principaux champs de bataille – posture intellectuelle ? Je ne sais pas. Mais on y travaille. Read the rest of this entry »

Anna Kournikova Deleted By Memeright Trusted System – Art in the Age of Intellectual Property
PHOENIX Halle , July 19 – October 19, 2008

Daniel García Andújar / ES

///Im Zentrum der Installation befindet sich ein hoher Bau, den man als „Turm des öffentlichen Wissens“ bezeichnen könnte. Mit der geschlossenen Aussichtsplattform möchte Andújar eine Nicht- zugänglichkeit öffentlichen Wissens andeuten. „Die halbrunde Form der beiden Tische, die an den Buchstaben c erinnert, steht zum einen für community, zum anderen für . Das sind die beiden Pole.“ Der Fußboden ist mit den Logos von Unter- nehmen bedruckt, die das nichtöffentliche, privatisierte Wissen repräsentieren. Dieses skulpturale Setting beherbergt Andujars Postcapital-Archiv.

/// situated at the heart of the installation is a lofty structure that could be designated as a ‘tower of public knowledge’. by means of the observation deck, which is not accessible, andújar aims to insinuate inaccessibility to public knowledge. ‘the semicircular form of the two tables, reminiscent of the letter C, represents both community and    —   the two poles’. the floor is printed with logos from companies representing non-public, privatised knowledge. this sculptural setting accommodates andújar’s Postcapital .

The video by Negativland and Tim Maloney, situated at the exhibition entrance, is only one of more than twenty works included in ‘Anna Kournikova Deleted By Memeright Trusted System: Art in the Age of Intellectual Property’, an exhibition presented by Hartware MedienKunstVerein (HMKV) It is part of Arbeit 2. and creative work in the digital age, one of thirteen projects in Germany funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation focusing on ‘The Future of Labour.’ In the framework of Arbeit 2., HMKV – together with the Berlin-based collaborative partner iRights.info/mikro e.V. – explores the relationships between creative work, intellectual property law, and technology (www.iRights.info).

”Close Window. Refresh”. Honor by Daniel G. Andújar

http://senko.dk/

International Video Exhibition in Frame Project

June 7.th – June 28.th:
Daniel G. Andújar (Spain): ””, 2006
tttp@irational.org
http://www.danielandujar.org
The last video in this series is by the mediaartist Daniel G. Andújar better known under the fiction “Technologies To The People”. “” is a part of his “Postcapital Archives”, and in this work he remixes videosamples from the net. The samples consist of amateur recordings made by combatants themselves from hot spots of global war and then uploaded to the net and from the many wargames available on the net. This video gives a scary picture of the growing convergence between the real and the virtual imaginations we have about our world.
Daniel has created numerous netbased artworks and directed international workshops for artists and social collectives. He has exhibited previously in Denmark in Aarhus Kunstbygning curated by Jacob Lillemose.
