WS 2008: Critical and Curatorial Initiatives
Alongside the curatorial programme of Open Space - Zentrum für
Kunstprojekte, the course offers a balanced programme of study
that provides opportunities for an engagement with models and methods
of curatorial practice, while giving an appropriate theoretical and contextual
grounding with an introduction of the latest developments in curatorial
practice and visual culture. Students are expected to attend a number
of gallery visits to rationalise their practical and theoretical concerns
of exhibition making and contribute to seminar discussions in order to
foster interesting dialogues on issues around curatorial practice and
visual culture. This is followed, in the last stage of the course, by
either a self-initiated/group practice based project or written essay.
Diese LV wird in Kombination mit den beiden Lehrveranstaltungen 'Exkursion
Visuelle Kultur' und 'Medien in der Architektur- und Kunstvermittlung'
angeboten.

New-Media
Technology, Science, and Politics: The Video Art of Marina Grzinic and
Aina Smid
Edited by Marina Grzinic and Tanja Velagic
The book is a reader on the topic of video art as seen through the perspective
of science, new media technology, and especially, the discourse, condition
and perspective of politics.
This politics is the political of theory, the emancipation of the social,
and the deconstruction of aesthetics.Video is rearticulated through the
video work of the Slovene artists Marina Grzinic and Aina Smid, who have
been active in video since the beginning of the 1980s. The book is also
about a medium that was initially encompassed by the political reality
of socialist Europe (until the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989), then
passed through a transitional (post-socialist) period, and today is fully
immersed in neo-liberal global capitalism. The book aims to be a challenging
theoretical, essayistic, and critical construction of the not so well-known
history of a particular video art practice in the specific era of late
Yugoslav socialism and ex-Yugoslav post-socialism, characterized by a
powerful underground movement in the 1980s, the Balkan wars of the 1990s,
and the capitalist reality of the new millennium.
Writers in the book: Diane Amiel, Gulsen Bal, Giorgio Bertellini,
Maria Klonaris and Katerina Thomadaki, Birgit Langenberger, Mojca Puncer,
Walter Seidl, Misko Suvakovic, Federica Timeto, Yvonne Volkart, and Ana
Vujanovic.
