  • The Platform of “Be-Diversity” Starts at MUSE
    The Platform of “Be-diversity” starts at MUSE The temporary exhibition of contemporary art "Be-diversity. A mental attitude on differences, beyond biodiversity" at MUSE Science Museum of Trento until September 30 curated by Stefano Cagol presents a series of meetings open to the public with important guests: the first guest on Wednesday August 19 at 18.00 is Aboulkheir Breigheche, Imam of Trentino South Tyrol. The opportunity to face the issues of Expo at Muse through the unexpected visionary point of view of the artworks of the project "Be-diversity" will be amplified starting from 19 August by a series of informal dialogues with local and international guests that are not limited within the boundaries of art and science, but range and take the cue from an idea of synergy between the different knowledge, from the belief that "The paths of knowledge that lead to awareness and then action, are not isolated trails", as the director of MUSE, Michele Lanzinger, says. First guest is Aboulkheir Breigheche, Imam of the Islamic Community of Trentino South Tyrol and President of the Council of Trustees of the Association of Italian Islamic Imams, on Wednesday, August 19 in the parlor inside the exhibition "Be-diversity" on the second floor of MUSE. Natural starting point for his reflection will be in particular one of the seven works exhibited, realized by the Lebanese-born artist Khaled Ramadan. It speaks, through images and words, about the Muslim Cham minority in Cambodia, that has lived since last three generations on boats along the Mekong River due to the persecution by the Khmer Rouge.

  • Curating Political Change
    Agency and affect: curating political change Simon Maidment orcid.org/0000-0003-3984-5222 This thesis is submitted for the degree: 475AA Doctor of Philosophy – Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. Submitted 31 December 2017. The research was carried out in the Centre for Ideas, Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. This thesis is being submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree. 190103 Art Theory Studies in Creative Arts and Writing not elsewhere classified 199999 (Curatorial Practice) 190101 Art Criticism 229391 Aesthetics 1 Abstract Agency and affect: curating political change is a practice-led research project that considers the relationship of art to political change, and the critical possibilities for agency in this relationship. To establish this, I develop and elucidate a theoretical framework for understanding art's operation in the social and political sphere, and relationship to the individual audience member. By foregrounding first an understanding of how an artwork operates within a relational sphere of individual subjectivity, I elaborate a new position arguing that the artwork and its affective potential can generate individual insight into the limits that bound behaviour and thought and, through this, enable a sense of agency in contributing to change through challenges to those limitations. I develop this framework through the process of conceiving, developing and staging a series of curatorial projects, employing the practice of critically-engaged curating as a research methodology, using a mode of curating situated within the discipline's contemporary discourse. The ideas of social agency, and engagement of a political nature, are intrinsic in the content, form and presentation context of each curatorial project.
