“Archipelagic Rehearsals” – Attemptive Thinking Through Practicing Textual Artistic Research
- 2021
-
In: Karib - Nordic Journal for Caribbean Studies. - : Novus Forlag. - 1894-8421 .- 2387-6743. ; 6:1, s. 1-11
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article is based on a lecture performance titled “Archipelagic Rehearsals – Abstract as Score” that was presented at the RGS-IBG conference, held jointly by the Royal Geographical Society and the Institute of British Geographers, in Cardiff in 2018. The presentation was an exploration of a possibility to practice, in Édouard Glissant’s terms, “archipelagic thinking” by presenting a lecture with interaction from the audience, as a lecture performance. That “archipelagic experiment” is continued in the article through an attempt to format the performance as an academic text. In turn, the text is an attempt to create new imaginaries and storytelling with Spanish slugs through participatory artistic experimental practice. The writing as artistic practice offers the potential for becoming and as such it is unpredictable in its outcome. The article starts with the author’s framing of Glissant’s poetics and attempts a feminist and more-than-human approach to present the event – the performance of the lecture and the story of the slug in footnotes that were an integral part of the lecture.

Complex Curvatures in Form Theory and String Theory
- 2005
-
In: Leonardo. - : MIT Press - Journals. - 0024-094X .- 1530-9282. ; 38:3, s. 226-231
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The authors use new aesthetic criteria concerning structures and properties to explain parallel concepts within theoretical astroparticle physics and contemporary form/compositional research. These aesthetic criteria stem from complex curvature models developed both in string theory and in artistic perceptual research on transitional surfaces and concavities. The authors compare the complex curvatures of the mathematically derived Calabi-Yau manifold with one of Akner Koler's sculptures, which explores an organic interpretation of the looping curvature of a Möbius strip. A goal of the collaboration is to gain experience and insight into the twisting paradoxical forces in the 3D world and to explore the properties of transparency as applied to the Calabi-Yau manifold and a point cloud translation of Akner Koler's sculpture.

Integrating Sensitizing Labs in an Educational Design Process for Haptic Interaction
- 2016
-
In: FORMakademisk. - Oslo : Formakademisk. - 1890-9515 .- 1890-9515. ; 9:2, s. 1-25
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- New design methods for educating designers are needed to adapt the attributes of haptic interaction to fit the embodied experience of the users. This paper presents educationally framed aesthetic sensitizing labs: 1) a material-lab exploring the tactile and haptic structures of materials, 2) a vibrotactile-lab exploring actuators directly on the body and 3) a combined materials- and vibrotactile-lab embedded in materials. These labs were integrated in a design course that supports a non-linear design process for embodied explorative and experimental activities that feed into an emerging gestalt. A co-design process was developed in collaboration with researchers and users who developed positioning and communications systems for people with deafblindness. Conclusion: the labs helped to discern attributes of haptic interactions which supported designing scenarios and prototypes showing novel ways to understand and shape haptic interaction.

Meetings with complexity : dementia, meaning and participation in art educational situations
- 2017
-
In: Interpreting the brain in society. - Lund : Arkiv förlag & tidskrift. - 9789198085495 - 9789179242930 ; , s. 109-126
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In January 2013, a three-year project, ‘Meetings with Memories’ (in Swedish: Möten med minnen), was launched in Swedish museums with guided tours for dementia-afflicted audiences. The project involved altogether 88 Swedish museums and was headed by the Alzheimer Foundation (Alzheimerfonden). Many Swedish art museums were part of the project, with the purpose that the art educational situations would create participation and dialogue with a group of people usually absent from the museums. Art in particular is regarded as a possible therapeutic rehabilitation for people with neurodegenerative diseases, where dialogue and making of art enhance cognitive abilities and quality of life. The therapeutic promise within art pedagogy is part of the larger context of the art educational situations we have studied. In this chapter, the aim is to explore how these situations are done and how participation can be made and interpreted in relation to the target group, people with dementia. We focus on the participation in terms of the meaning making, dialogical processes of the art educational practice of the project ‘Meeting with Memories'.

A Glossary of Distance and Desire
- 2023
-
Artistic work (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Genom rumsliga installationer och funna objekt tar Meriç Algün upp frågor om identitet, gränser, språk och relationer. Hennes tidiga verk behandlar erfarenheten av sociala och politiska skillnader mellan hennes födelseort Istanbul och hemstad Stockholm, och den auktoritära byråkrati många människor möter när de korsar nationella gränser. Algüns konstnärliga metod tar ofta avstamp i research eller personliga erfarenheter, som blir till verk i formen av arkiv över idévärldar och tankegods med egna logiska system. Separation, begär och relationer är centrala begrepp i de verk som presenteras i utställningen. I installationsverket A Glossary of Distance and Desire (2019/2023), som gett utställningen dess titel, är ett hundratal föremål placerade på färgstarka podier i geometriska former. Installationen är en lekfull ansats till att skapa en vokabulär för att tala om kärlek, begär och splittring. Bland föremålen återfinns fossiler, bilder, böcker, ljud och ordboksurklipp. Verket Eternity 1988–∞ (2019–pågående) består av en samling helsidesannonser för Calvin Kleins parfym Eternity. Under de 35 år som Eternity marknadsförts har den amerikanska fotomodellen Christy Turlington varit dess ansikte utåt. I annonserna porträtteras Turlington med olika män och barn som ska föreställa hennes lyckliga familj. Sedan 2017 porträtteras hon intill sin man i verkliga livet. Eternity 1988–∞ är en dråplig påminnelse om hur kapitalismen kan profitera på vår ständiga längtan efter den eviga kärleken. Algüns tre verk dröjer sig kvar i kärlekens oförutsägbara ovisshet, vilket kan te sig både tilldragande och skrämmande. Tillsammans drar verken paralleller mellan destruktiva försök att kontrollera, äga sitt begär och den exploaterande sidan i människans relation till naturen. Likt kärleks-objektet besitter naturen den ofrånkomliga egenskapen som någonting ytterst annat än oss själva. Utställningen Meriç Algün – A Glossary of Distance and Desire kan ses som ett försvarstal till kärlekens outgrundlighet och hur acceptans av det okontrollerbara är dess förutsättning.Magasin III, 1 april - 17 december 2023

All Images Will Disappear, One Day : 4th Autostrada Biennale
- 2023
-
Artistic work (peer-reviewed)abstract
- All Images Will Disappear, One Day 4th Autostrada Biennale 07.07 – 09.09.2023 All Images Will Disappear, One Day is an exhibition about what makes and unmakes us, what entangles and disentangles us from ourselves, about freedoms beyond choices, imaginaries that flow despite and across borders. It is an exhibition about collective autobiographies stored in cultural archives, those deep reservoirs of words, objects, patterns, feelings, or misunderstandings. It is about connecting with the unknown. What is unarchivable reminds us that all images disappear, one day, slipping into a temporal void. Yet art survives as a language of resistance and resilience, a way to validate our existence in the world, a horizon beyond imperial visual regimes. The biennale takes you on a journey around former NATO hangars, where the core of the exhibition sits, and then down into the streets of Prizren, and farther to Prishtina and Mitrovica. It starts with an artwork that first took root in 2021, which follows the sun: Agnes Denes’s Sunflower Fields (2021–ongoing). Another thirty art projects await you, asking, in their metaphorical languages: Which images do we hold on to and why? How do certain past and future memories, be it of a puppet theater, a typographer, a sacred book, an endemic flower, a blackbird, a clandestine gallery, a children’s hideout, a nomadic playground, or a destroyed museum, persistently, and somehow unconsciously, live on? How does the past stop to form the present but not the future? And how do we fail to stick to the values that supposedly unite us all? The exhibition, in accordance with its Latin etymology, ex-hibere, is a complex process of making something hidden visible. It is an invitation to travel through a set of multifaceted, social, poetic, and ephemeral art pieces across the three cities. It is a constellation of images that will disappear and open space for the construction of life anew. Therefore, it is about staying with what is difficult, but also about letting go at the same time. The exhibition promises unpredictable encounters in and out of Prizren, the Balkans, Europe outside Europe, and the planet. And finally, it is about hope and persistence, in spite of it all.
