  • An Interview with Kuratorisk Aktion
    Curatorial Collectives and Feminist Politics in 21st-century Europe: An Interview with Kuratorisk Aktion Angela Dimitrakaki !"#$%&#'()*+)%'&,-*./&%&0*12$#345*67$8(9:%%'#- Founded in 2005 by Danish-born curators Frederikke Hansen (b. 1969) and Tone Olaf Nielsen (b. 1967), Kuratorisk Aktion [Curatorial Action] define themselves as an all-female curatorial collective committed to an investigation of ‘colonialism’s catastrophic race and gender-thinking’ which ‘continues to structure the nationalized, racialized, classed, gendered, and sexed divides of globalized corporate capitalism’.1 Conducted in mid-2010, this interview considers the theoretical, aesthetic and activist premises as well as histories that feed into Kuratorisk Aktion’s complex curatorial practice, seen to inform a broader innovative and critical project vis-à-vis the possibilities of feminism in the political landscapes of the 21st century. Angela Dimitrakaki (AD): Frederikke and Tone, you were born in the late 1960s in Europe, like myself. If for a moment we imagine that profound socio-economic divisions within and across national contexts permit us nevertheless to speak in generational terms, our European youth was marked by two major shifts. First, in the late 1980s and early 1990s European space underwent a major transformation with the collapse of so-called communist regimes. One outcome of this was the consolidation of the paradigm we know as ‘globalisation’, meaning the full expansion of global capitalism (that we now see in crisis). The Western left appeared to have contracted for reasons too complex to touch upon here. Second, in the late 1980s European women’s movements and feminist politics seemed to be a thing of the past, ushering us into the spurious ideologies of a comfortable ‘post-feminism’.

Abstract This study is on production as the experience of art and how this production is conceptualised with the autoethnography. Even though it was formed by the qualitative research method and comes from the background of writing, in time, autoethnography crossed paths with the practice of visual expression. The reasons for this intersection are the variety of representations in the 1990s when the processes of literary and visual research went hand in hand. The fact that artists, through the concept of autoethnography, turned into researchers who describe their own forms of production has enabled the concept to be discussed in a variety of fields.

Dust Clay Stone focuses on works that represent the complex issues of identity faced 03062 03062 9 by individuals experiencing situations of migration, as well as the perceptions that are formed or lost in the course of such experiences. The four participating artists, Pia Arke, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Bouchra Khalili and Alexander Ugay reveal their interests in the complex identity, the individual and collective memories, post-colonialism and allyship, the works are inter-connected in their methods of creating works such as their deep exploration of the structure of languages, the representation of images, and approaches to the archival references. The exhibition focuses on the languages as an indicator of perception generated from the situation of migration and looks into the way in which words and texts are operated within the works.

The Biennial formed a platform of interaction involving the Biennial itself, the contemporary art scene in Istanbul, and the international art community. The Biennial has served as a dynamic plane of interaction, a meeting point, and a critical site for the development of new aesthetic and political visions. In a period of increasingly rapid communication and sharing of experiences, the Biennial has become the main hub in Istanbul for the introduction, debate, and assessment of current paradigms in both the theory and practice of local, international, and transnational contemporary art. The Biennials have functioned as the trigger for transformational changes in contemporary art in Istanbul and Turkey. The Biennial has turned the lack of a permanent venue for its two-yearly exhibitions to advantage. The Biennial has made a point of selecting buildings – of curatorial significance – that make reference to certain social, historical, or urban issues and/or have special meaning in relation to the conceptual framework of the exhibition. Creating awareness for the potentiality of such spaces have led to their integration for diverse purposes of art.

  • THE END of the CURATOR-Repository
    THE END OF THE CURATOR: ON CURATORIAL ACTS AS COLLECTIVE PRODUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE Corina Oprea Doctoral Studies and Research in Philosophy Loughborough University – School of the Arts, English & Drama, England June 14, 2016 Supervisors: Dr. Gillian Whiteley and Melanie Jordan (2011-2013) ABSTRACT The End of The Curator: On Curatorial Acts as Collective Production of Knowledge explores the convoluted liaison between knowledge production, collectivity and curating, through practices that have been neglected by mainstream curatorial platforms and art history. Bearing in mind the extensive usage of the notion ‘knowledge production’, my practice–based research is guided by the question what forms of collective knowledge can curatorial practice produce? This PhD submission comprises practical and theoretical parts, as follows: 1. An investigative part, that contextualizes and problematizes theoretical notions in relation to curatorial practice, as well as formulating statements for the practices and potentials of curatorial acts. 2. Practice-based curatorial research, in the form of four projects realized in the course of this research, which are used as test sites for the ideas examined in the analytical part. Introducing the inquiry in a wider historical, social and political context, the first chapter of the dissertation traces the background of curatorial history and the social and political context of the past decade in relation to collective acts in the form of exhibitions and pedagogical platforms. The main case studies are the practices of Martha Rosler, Marion von Osten and Kuratorisk Aktion. The second chapter focuses on the epistemology of the concepts of knowledge, collectivity, participation and dissensus through theoretical references. Assuming the character of practice-based research, the third chapter of the thesis reflects on interrogations associated with participatory research within the curatorial projects.

The names of all children mentioned in this publication have been changed. LETTER FROM THE TRUSTEES 2010 was a year of great opportunities – and formidable challenges – for Oak Foundation and its partners. During the course of the year, we granted USD 116.72 million (up from USD 111.83 in 2009) and supported 271 organisations around the world both to reflect and take action on some of the most perplexing global issues of our time. While these efforts differ in scope, scale and geographic coverage, they all demonstrate commitment to the fundamental values of Oak Foundation: broad and equitable access to services; positive changes in policy at all levels; strengthening the confidence and “voice” of low income and marginalised groups; empowering women to live lives free from violence and discrimination; promoting universal respect for and access to human rights; supporting more effective child protection systems, particularly at community level; and ensuring that all students have the opportunity to reach their learning potential. For example, during the last year Oak Foundation has supported partners to: Safeguard the environment, by securing a ban on trawl fishing in Belize and a moratorium on oil and gas development in key areas of the Arctic, launching a donor collaborative to protect the world’s oceans, fostering stronger action against fisheries subsidies worldwide, strengthening climate action at state and local levels in North America and in emerging economies and containing tar sands development.
