  • YAMA KOWA the Multimedia Artist Was Born Into the World of Art, As The
    YAMA KOWA The multimedia artist was born into the world of art, as the daughter of the curator and art historian Wieland Schmied. Seeking distance and identity, she initially focused primarily on theater acting and found her true love in live art performance. She founded ACT.ART.OUT. performance theater in 2013 and is focusing fully on life-art ever since. Painting, video, collage or installations are only appearing as elements of her performative work. A speciality of her artistic practise is the work in performance cycles. So she brings the spontaneous and ephemere of live art performance in alignment with a kontinuity in time that might examine a topic over a dozen years or longer, and since the six weeks ongoing durational 2018 she developed an almost addictive preference to this sort of excessively meditative encounters.

  • Reading, Because of Love by Andrea Pagnes (Vestandpage) This
    Reading, Because of Love By Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage) This is not exactly a book review, but my humble thoughts skewed one after the other— a visceral empathic response to Franko’s life story, one of the artists who most inspired my journey through art. When someone tells you of his/her life, exposing his/her heart, every moment assumes its importance, even the most apparently banal. As we get to know a person better, there is a natural process that acts on our affective sphere. It is a mechanism mostly responsible for building friendship and respect. At least metaphorically, it can be said that the people we know and value inhabit a part of our brain. We have a copy of them stored in our memory: not an exact reproduction but series of images valid enough to stimulate our intellect and emotional intelligence. Some books offer very concentrated social information. They are to our social interests like fresh water is to the part of our brain when we are thirsty. For readers who are concerned with anything that has social and causal implications, those books are there to satisfy these interests. They stimulate reflection. Not all books, of course, but above all good essays and novels, and those with the focus on a single character, biographies and autobiographies. I always feel a certain fascination when an author of a book unlocks the doors of his/her world through an uncompromised way of writing. It is like receiving an open invitation to enter inside a place once kept secret and share what is there to be found, and so to imagine, mirror, recognise.

  • Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu
    Leman Sevda Darıcıoğlu (1985, Izmir – living & working in Berlin – Istanbul) concentrates on investigating / exploring the physical / emotional limits anD bounDaries of the human boDy through performance art. Taking this corporal research as a core, Darıcıoğlu deals with hegemonic political/societal concepts and norms through her* artistic practice which radiates from performance art to, more widely, time and space based disciplines like video, installation anD public interventions. If anD when she* needs to define herself as an artist, she* chooses to use the ‘queer artist’ title. Her* take of ‘queer’ does not only refer to an area beyond heterosexuality and binary sex, but also to a platform beyond normativity as such. Between 2012-2019, the artist was in the advisory team of a queer theory books collection called Queer Düş’ün [Queer Fantasy/Thought] released by Sel Publishing House. She* is also the translator of numerous books in this collection. Besides, she* edited and compiled a book on queer theory called Queer Temaşa [Queer Contemplation/Spectacle] (2016), also published by Sel Publishing House, as a part of the same collection. Between 2014 – 2017 Leman S. Darıcıoğlu was a member of Istanbul Queer Art Collective and performed in the following art events anD venues; Zürcher Theater Spektakel, Zurich, CH; II. SounD acts Festival, athens, GR; Les Belles De Nuit Festival, Photobastei, Zurich, CH; Porn Ball by Pornceptual, Prince Charles, Berlin, DE. Since 2017, Darıcıoğlu is represented by Performistanbul international performance art platform.

  • Spaced, Art out of Place
    Page 97 / June 2014 SPACED, ART OUT OF PLACE The experiences of the Free University of Liverpool and the CyberMohalla project as examples of alternative education Andrea Pagnes (VestAndPage) Don’t think they prefer the drudgery of the desk and the slavery to their circulation and to the business manager to the joy of writing. They have tried to write, and they have failed. And right there is the cursed paradox of it.1 ( Jack London, 1909) Preamble In the decades of the 1980s and the 1990s, alienation was described as a cognitive space overcharged with nervous and conditioning incentives to act, frequently de- riving from external forces to select and exclude individuals who fail to meet often badly regulated specific requirements. The dramatic economical crisis of the recent years has contributed to making individual and household debt a post post-modern form of slavery, due to the toxic effects of unscrupulous financial policies. Within this context, higher education has also become an issue linked almost exclusively to the economic status of the student and his/her family, or his/her pos- sibility of contracting a considerable loan at a certain interest to be able to complete his/her studies. This has created a form of non-meritocratic selection and unjust exclusion, evidencing another discrepancy in the idea of globalization, whose great promise now lies in ruins. The relentless pressure of production aimed at satisfy- ing the constrictive logic of the capitalistic markets and their financial oligarchies, weakening the individual’s will and his/her decision-making capacity to act dif- ferently, paints the picture of a dystopian future.

  • Locating Digital Art Using the Test Case of Israeli Digital Artists
    Susan Hazan Curator of New Media The Israel Museum, Jerusalem November 2004 [email protected] http://www.imj.org.il Locating [Israeli] digital art - artists think global and act local Introduction The Israel Museum, Jerusalem Global Versus Local Barriers of Language Online Beyond the Physical Museum and the National Anchor Simply denoted online Introduction This paper focuses on the problem of locating digital art using the test case of Israeli digital artists. Acting either globally or locally depends on three factors. The first would be concerned with affixing the national label, (such as Israeli artist), which would mean that at least the artist, if not the art work, could be actually located in a specific country. Through the Israeli case study it is apparent that many Israeli artists are not actually located in Israel and even if they are, they often reside and exhibit abroad. The second factor that determines how artistic [digital] work is disseminated and consumed globally or locally is a matter of artistic content. One of the ways that digital art becomes localised is through language, and through the incorporation of the Hebrew language into their palette, Israeli artists effectively limit their global reach. Of course this is not only a problem for Israeli artists but for all artists who draw on the written word as a crucial element of their digital creativity. The third issue this paper explores is concerned with locating digital art. When artists choose to exhibit their works online discarding both the physical museum and often their own national affiliation, the provenance of netart as a result becomes somewhat obscure.

  • Global Conference for Jewish Museums
    UPHEAVAL GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS COUNCIL OF AMERICAN JEWISH MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN JEWISH MUSEUMS APRIL 2021 Throughout the past year of the pandemic, Jewish museums have faced unprecedented challenges and have responded. They have worked together in new configurations, have been resources for new communities, and are envisioning new ways to be museums for the present and the future. The Council of American Jewish Museums is proud to present its first online, global conference for Jewish museums­­­—developed in partnership with the Association of European Jewish Museums. This year, we are collectively unpacking the topic of Upheaval—recognizing that our profession has been greatly impacted by pressing issues and the crises of our times. At the same time, however, museums are creating their own upheavals—through innovation, reconfiguration, and approaches that will reshape our work for years to come. GLOBAL CONFERENCE FOR JEWISH MUSEUMS | APRIL 2021 2 PROGRAM TUESDAYUPHEAVAL APRIL 20 11:00 AM EDT WELCOME 11:10 AM EDT JEWISH MUSEUMS: CONTEXT MATTERS For this year’s program we have come together as a global community: to address common challenges and opportunities, to build a collegial community, and to articulate implications for the worldwide field of Jewish museums. While Jewish museums around the world share many mutual concerns, each one operates within its own geographic, political, and social realities. This session explores, from various angles, how context profoundly shapes the work of Jewish museums—from Tel Aviv and Sydney, to Hohenems and Washington, DC. Speakers AVRIL ALBA Consulting Scholar, Holocaust Memorial Museum–Sydney Jewish Museum KARA BLOND Executive Director, Capital Jewish Museum HANNO LOEWY Director, Jewish Museum Hohenems DAN TADMOR CEO, ANU—Museum of the Jewish People Moderated by BARBARA KIRSHENBLATT-GIMBLETT Ronald S.
