Ett skepp kommer lastat...
- 2015
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ett skepp kommer lastat...: a Swedish children's game in which players recount, in accumulated succession, the imagined contents of an incoming ship. The metaphorical abundance and unknowability of the latter drove this cross-institutional, multi-disciplinary collaboration and PhD research case study which engaged with the Frölunda Kulturhus's theme of 'neighbors'. A constellation of twelve participatory workshops with children explored indirect dialogues between neighbors via architectural interfaces and perspectival reversals of researcher and subject. The project led to a three-week exhibition in the Frölunda Kulturhus's main exhibition hall and involved over 165 children and youth from three different schools.

RESURRECT.ME 2.0: Invoking the Dead, or on a Thousand (Tiny) Extinctions
- 2024
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What does resurrection mean in the digital era and beyond religious associations or sentimentality? The virtual and the physical are more entangled than they may seem, blurring the boundaries between the living and the non-living, or further: the dead. The environmental cost of generative AI might be one example. But digital worlds also play a special role in the context of the question of death as such. Around 20 years into the existence of Myspace, Facebook, and other social media platforms, these spaces have been populated by profiles of people long gone. On the other hand, digitalized venues of remembrance multiply: from digital ‘tombstones’ in China, through various memorial websites (commemorating humans and their nonhuman companions alike), to digital transformation of photography in the practices of remembering, like in the case of “New Dimensions of Testimony” by the Shoah Foundation, which enables interaction with holograms of Holocaust survivors. Yet, human (mass) death is not the only one that ‘materializes’ digitally. The Anthropocene necropolitics is being fleshed out in many ways: the sixth mass species extinction, extractivist capitalism- and war-induced ecocide, pollution, toxicity, and slaughter for the sake of slaughter. The more-than-human worlds are dying. While finding new ways of staying with and caring for ‘terminally ill’ environments – to paraphrase queer-ecocritical scholar Sarah Ensor – is a must, there is also a need for cultural and affective ways of working with the actual or potential loss, for communities to partake in. This is where the digital meets the physical, once again. Following this intuition, the present talk will zoom in on new-media artworks, design projects, or digital sound archives that venture into the living/non-living interface by bringing back to ‘life’ – even if for a brief moment – that which in one way or another has been marked as ‘extinct.’ Some of the examples include: Tanja Vujinovic’s “Carboflora,” a virtual environment populated by the plants of the Carboniferous period; C-Lab’s “The Living Dead: On the Trail of a Female,” which uses a drone with a multispectral camera to search for a potential last remaining female specimen of the “Encephalartos woodii” cycad – a plant species that does not exist in the wild; or Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s “The Substitute,” dealing with the extinction of the northern white rhinoceros. What do such projects tell us about practices of remembrance? How are they linked to the de-extinction movement? What do they tell us about our relation to that (more-than-human) which is gone? And perhaps, even more importantly, to that (more-than-human) which is not gone yet? Where does the boundary between the living and non-living run – if there is still one? Who is at the center of digitalized resurrections? These are some of the questions this talk aims to tackle.

Digging Where You Stand? Critical approaches to participatory and activist heritage work
- 2020
-
Ingår i: ACHS 2020 Futures.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Recent years have seen growing interest in participatory, community-led and activist approaches to knowledge production across a range of disciplines and practices including heritage, archive and public history work (Flinn 2011). Frequently such practices have been associated with radical and social justice orientated politics but participatory methodologies have also been critically examined as complex and contested, not least because of unequal power and trust relations often embedded in such approaches (Sexton 2015). Dig Where You Stand (DWYS), a complex mixed methods D-I-Y history methodology, rooted in history from below movements of the 1970s and expounded by Swedish author Sven Lindqvist (1978, 1979) is a still influential, fruitful yet challenging model for participatory and activist orientated heritage practices today (Flinn & Sexton 2018, von Rosen 2017). The papers in this double session will explore some of the challenges of participatory heritage and archive work by describing recent transformative developments of DWYS, combining a 1970’s ethos that ‘history is too important to be left just to historians’ (History Workshop Journal 1,1976) with contemporary critical thinking and the affordances of digital technologies, including the use of big data and social media, participatory system design, citizen sourced materials, and the many ethical concerns that are often left invisible and unexamined when studying digital archives and heritage and their affect. By doing so, the session will re-imagine DWYS and other similar D-I-Y participatory history and heritage methodologies in a dialogue with the future, opening up for multiple human, non-human and hybrid critical dialogues challenging authorized heritage discourses and practices and supporting social justice struggles in the present and the future. The papers presented represent current critical approaches to heritage, archives and digital humanities, practised across a range of disciples and developed within the joint University College London University of Gothenburg Centre for Critical Heritage Studies.

Ingår i: Expansion och mångfald: Digital kartläggning och analys av den utominstitutionella scenkonsten i Göteborg 1965-2000.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I svenska teaterhistorier ses perioden 1965–2000 som en tid för framväxt och etablering av en utominstitutionell scenkonst. Fältet expanderande kraftigt när institutionsteatrarna utmanades av ”fria” grupper och en ny mycket varierad scenkonstkultur växte fram. Denna nya scenkonst ifrågasatte hierarkier, sökte sig ut från de traditionella scenerna, överskred genregränser, experimenterade konstnärligt och mötte en ny publik. En mångfald angelägna föreställningar för barn, migranter, arbetare, queera personer, studenter och många andra skapades av människor med olika kulturella bakgrunder och kompetenser. Historieskrivningen har observerat detta skifte, men endast lyft fram några få grupper, verk och välkända artister. Därmed har en endimensionell bild fått fäste i historieskrivningen, men nu har det blivit dags att utmana tidigare forskning genom att se perioden på ett nytt sätt och bejaka dess mångfald. Det är dags att inkludera de många olika uttrycken och grupperna i en historieskrivning som gör det fria kulturarvet rättvisa. Forskningsprojektet Expansion och mångfald vill använda digitalt material och metoder för att analysera, lyfta fram och tillgängliggöra frikulturen som ett värdefullt kulturarv som angår och engagerar många olika människor. Den viktiga mångfalden av uttryck, grupper, relationer och spelplatser i det expanderade fältet har visat sig vara svår för att hantera för traditionell historieskrivning. Den har genom sin linjära karaktär inte kunnat ge plats för exempelvis karnevalers mångfacetterade uttryck, migranters kulturföreningar, jazzdans som folkrörelse och konstnärlig katalysator, fysisk teater, spex och populärkulturella uttryck, danskonst i offentliga rum, och scenkonst för barn. Med mångfald och skillnader som utmaning för forskningen krävs att arkivmaterial från det expanderade fältet undersöks och görs tillgängligt på nya sätt och att tidigare oanvänt källmaterial görs åtkomligt och tas i anspråk. En grupp bestående av humanistiska och urban-sociologiska forskare med stor erfarenhet av scenkonstforskning och stadsanalyser kommer att tillsammans med experter från digital humaniora undersöka och tillgängliggöra den frikulturella mångfalden.

State of the Art : Elements for Critical Thinking and Doing
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How to participate proactively in a process of change and transformation, to shape our path within an uncertain future? With this publication, the State Of The Art Network marks a waypost on a journey which started in 2018, when like-minded Nordic and Baltic art organisations and professionals initiated this network as a multidisciplinary collaboration facing the Anthropocene. Over five years, ten organisations and around 80 practitioners from different disciplines, like the arts, natural sciences and humanities came together, online and in person, for workshops, seminars and discussions. The aim was to find ways to create resilience and concrete actions on how to live through the change in culture, economy and the environment and to find concrete, hands-on methods to deal with the Anthropocene and the environmental crisis. As an outcome of this process, this publication takes a closer look at how we as practising artists, researchers and cultural actors can create elements for critical thinking and doing which can assist us in navigating the complexities of the present.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This essay maps the faultlines in recent debates on the social turn in contemporary art practice and provides an account of how the changing and divergent terms of social practices (collaborative arts, participatory arts, socially engaged art etc.) may be conceptualised within a broad framework. It also provides an account of PARK LEK, Kerstin Bergendal's major art project within the terms of this conceptualisation, and makes a claim for the way practice leads - and is in advance of - the theoretical and critical frameworks proposed for this domain of practice.

Suriashi as a ceremonial, subversive act
- 2019
-
Ingår i: WNM 2019: Walking’s New Movements’: a conference to discuss the latest developments and future prospects for radical walking and walking arts.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Abstract My presentation departures from my PhD project ‘Suriashi – an interventionist practice in urban spaces’, where I look at society from within a Japanese practice called suriashi. Suriashi is practiced in performance, martial arts and Sumo wrestling. On stage, suriashi often represents the traveler in constant flux, either travelling between geographical places or travelling from a spiritual state to a human state. The practice not only depicts geographical places, it also depicts metaphysical and liminal spaces and time. For my research, I have since 2014 practiced suriashi at a very slow pace in urban spaces, in squares and on streets, inside busy places, as a solo act, a conversation act, an activist act, a thing-to-do-together-act, a gift-act, a friendship act etc. I will present what I have found since I started to practice in 2000 with the master Nishikawa Senrei in Kyoto. The slow practice has become a methodology to approach spaces, while investigating the location of bodies and immaterial and material monuments, and thereby challenge how we relate to each other and to spaces.
