    AUCUN RETOUR POSSIBLE – AN EVENT LOGIC OF THE AVANT-GARDE Alan Prohm in Transferts, appropriations et fonctions de l’avant-garde dans l’Europe intermédiaire et du Nord ed. Harri Veivo Cahiers de la Nouvelle Europe No. 16 2012 Kunst und Kamp, poster, April, 1986 Inherent in the notion of an avant-garde is the irreversibility of its measure of progress. The vector of a cultural effort need be neither straight nor singular nor without setbacks for this to be asserted: to occupy a position that has been surpassed is to not be avant-garde. It is stunning the degree to which this logic is disregarded by fans. Art historians can hardly be faulted for keeping warm the corpses of their favorite moments. It is a mortuary profession, and for many sufficiently well paid to keep up their confidence that scholars are anyway smarter than the artists they study; “We’ll be the judge of what’s dead and when.” More charitably, taking scholars as journalists, there are new sightings of the avant-garde to report every day, so we should expect the glorified blogging of peer-review journals on the topic to continue. And here, too, there is no foul. What approaches the kind of tragedy worth regretting, however, is that so many people of such lively genius should suffer their intellectual enthusiasms to be diverted, and secured off the track of any real cultural agency. The main veins of avant-garde activity in the European sphere, the now canonical cycle Futurism-Dada- Surrealism-Etcetera, gambled art and literature’s stakes in the centuries-old entitlement for a new chance at impacting the human situation.

  • For All the People
    Praise for For All the People John Curl has been around the block when it comes to knowing work- ers’ cooperatives. He has been a worker owner. He has argued theory and practice, inside the firms where his labor counts for something more than token control and within the determined, but still small uni- verse where labor rents capital, using it as it sees fit and profitable. So his book, For All the People: The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, reached expectant hands, and an open mind when it arrived in Asheville, NC. Am I disappointed? No, not in the least. Curl blends the three strands of his historical narrative with aplomb, he has, after all, been researching, writing, revising, and editing the text for a spell. Further, I am certain he has been responding to editors and publishers asking this or that. He may have tired, but he did not give up, much inspired, I am certain, by the determination of the women and men he brings to life. Each of his subtitles could have been a book, and has been written about by authors with as many points of ideological view as their titles. Curl sticks pretty close to the narrative line written by worker own- ers, no matter if they came to work every day with a socialist, laborist, anti-Marxist grudge or not. Often in the past, as with today’s worker owners, their firm fails, a dream to manage capital kaput. Yet today, as yesterday, the democratic ideals of hundreds of worker owners support vibrantly profitable businesses.

  • Public Stances « 55
    Public4 Stances Kathy High The first decade of the millennium brought about the immanent collapse of the empire as we knew it. It was a decade filled with disillusions, dreams gone bad, and disappointments. The divisiveness of governments’ actions, creating bad wars and even worse economic deals, isolated their populations and segre- gated our societies. Public space remains a kind of commons, however, a place of shared experience, a place to bring people back together. As we can see from recent global uprisings, public space is a place of collective celebration and of protest, resistance, prayer, and negotiation. The video and new media work that has enduring effect for me is work performed in a public space, stirring a public imagination. And because this work somewhat escapes the confines of the art world, it, to borrow from Nato Thompson, “emphasizes social relationships” and “constitutes a sort of political action.”1 This essay surveys six different projects by artists who use video as an inte- gral part of their art projects: they take a camera, a wireless device, or a video projector to the streets. It is not about documentation of performances or street actions—although these projects may become documentation. It is about how these artists use video as a strategy to open up a public dialogue and encourage cross-talk, understanding, and public provocation. Themes touched on include the plight of immigrants, recovering abolitionist histories, the failing economy, antiwar protests, and public opinions. This essay is written with the same ur- gency with which the projects were made—coming from a need to act as a trig- ger for future action.2 Projections There are projects that use bodies and video projections to break down and de- territorialize public spaces, to inject a monkey wrench into the neat social fabric of our cultures and, thus, allow for an anomaly, a discovery.

  • Occupy and the End of Socially Engaged
    “We strike art in order to liberate art from itself.” – MTL1 In the fall of 2008, at the height of both the electoral season and the global financial crisis, a 01/11 sprawling exhibition entitled Democracy in America was set up by the public arts organization Creative Time for one week inside the Armory building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The title of the project at once ironized de Tocqueville’s infamous celebration of the “exceptional” nature of US political culture, while also alluding to Group Material’s Yates McKee groundbreaking Democracy counter-exhibition staged exactly twenty years earlier, with Dia Center for the Arts. Occupy and the ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThe centerpiece of Democracy in America was what curator Nato Thompson described, End of Socially drawing on the lexicon of alter-globalization culture, as a “convergence center” in the gigantic Engaged Art training hall of the building. The hall featured murals, installations, performances, projections, a modular amphitheater, and even a cooperatively funded “soup kitchen” by the Alternative Transmissions and INCUBATE collectives in the midst of which left intellectual luminaries such as David Harvey would lead free- for-all seminars regarding the then-unfolding crisis. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊDemocracy in America also distributed several satellite projects throughout the country, including a series of “town hall” meetings among artists and activists in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Baltimore concerning the meaning of democracy in the current historical e conjuncture. Among the art projects was Mark e t K r Tribe’s Port Huron Project, which involved the c A M d site-specific performative reenactments of e s g e t a iconic New Left speeches by Cesar Chavez, a g Y n Ê Howard Zinn, and Angela Davis, as well as Valerie E 6 y l 1 l Tevere and Angel Nevarez’s Another Protest Song, 0 a i 2 l c a participatory archival project concerning the i o r S p affective connections between popular music f a o — d and protest that culminated in a “sing out” n 2 E 7 karaoke party at Flushing Meadows park.

April 7, 2014 (San José, CA)—MACLA/Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana is proud to launch its first Community-Sponsored Art (CSA) program on April 7, 2014. MACLA’s CSA program supports Latino artists by helping them to create and distribute their artwork through new channels. Concurrently, this program gives first-time and experienced art collectors the opportunity to own regionally made, limited-edition art. Through an open call and a juried selection process artists were chosen to create “shares.” A typical “share” consists of a work of art, usually a multiple or limited edition. This year’s artists are Melanie Cervantes, Jamil Hellu, Juan Luna-Avin, Favianna Rodriguez, Cristina Velazquez, and Rio Yañez. The selected artists receive a stipend, connections to local collectors, and promotional support. Collectors purchase a CSA “box” (similar to a membership subscription) for $350 that includes six regionally produced artworks. The boxes will be made available at a “pick-up party” on August 1, 2014, featuring food and entertainment. CSA artists participate in an exciting new model of creation and distribution, avail of MACLA’s connections to collectors, art patrons and other artists, and benefit from MACLA’s promotional and distribution capacity.
