Exhibition/Non-exhibition: Stretched Out. A Seminar.
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Saturday 27 June 2015 Venue: Inaugural Research Pavilion: Experimentality Venice Bienniale Collateral Programme Sala del Camino.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Stretched is a three-year long inquiry, instigated by Jason E. Bowman at the Valand Academy at the University of Gothenburg and to be co-researched by Bowman, Julie Crawshaw and Mick Wilson. Its aim is to inquire into what divergent modes and models, constellations and assemblages are perceived as constitutive of artistic practice when generated in, through, for, and by the field of artist-led cultures and how these may inform new knowledge on the curatorial and in particular models of making public the expansions of practice that artist-led cultures generate. This seminar will query this from the multifarious perspectives of other researchers and practitioners who are engaged in investigating the artist-led, instituting, the curatorial, the exhibitionary and the stretching of what may perceived to be artistic practice beyond the sovereignty of ‘art-making’. The aim of this seminar it to interrogate the research question of Stretched from amidst existing and ongoing research and inquiries by others who broadly relate to its knowledge framework. Its objective is to be co-investigative by engaging participants and attendees to probe and worry at its subject to foster further questions through interrogative dialogues that cascade from the presentations. Participants include: Stretched Research Team, Valand Academy, University of Gothenburg: Jason E. Bowman, artist with a curatorial practice. (UK/SE) Dr. Julie Crawshaw, anthropologist. (SE/UK) Dr. Mick Wilson, artist, writer and researcher. (SE) Guests: Professor Andrea Phillips, Goldsmiths, London. (UK) Valerio del Baglivo, curator and doctoral researcher, Middlesex University. (IT/UK) Dr. Emma Coffield, Researcher at the International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies, Newcastle University. (UK) Dr. Georgina Jackson, Director of Exhibitions & Publications, Mercer Union, a centre for contemporary art, Toronto. (CN) Megs Morley, Artist and Independent Curator, Para-Institution, (IRL)

Public Art Research Report (2018)
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report provides an overview of the current state of research on public art in the Nordic Countries, as well as within the wider international context. The key purpose of the report is to identify where the needs and opportunities are for the development of a research programme to support the further development of public art paradigms, policies and practices within Sweden. The report is commissioned by the Public Art Agency Sweden, and has been prepared by researchers based at Södertörn University and at Valand Academy, University of Gothenburg, between June and September, 2018. The report is based on two strands of survey and analysis: (i) research produced within the Nordic countries, and (ii) research produced in the wider international context. Both strands have focused on academic sources, as traditionally construed, such as peer-reviewed conference papers, articles, dissertations, monographs, anthologies and professional journals. We have drawn upon a sampling of research from a broad range of disciplines (art history, urbanism, planning, architecture, social science) as well as taking under consideration the work done by various public art agencies. In addition to this we have included artistic research about public art in a broad sense as well as various co-operations between artists and academics, as well as other non-institutional actors. (A second iteration of the international report is in development for 2022.)

Opening to a Discussion on Judgement
- 2015
-
Ingår i: PARSE Journal. - Göteborg : University of Gothenburg. - 2002-0953. ; :1, s. 13-26
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Editors’ note: This text is derived from the transcript of the opening statements from Simon Critchley, Mick Wilson and Andrea Phillips at a public discussion on the theme of “Judgement” held in Gothenburg in April 2014 and marking the initiation of the Platform fort Artistic Research Sweden. The format of the event was an open dialogue, during which each of the three speakers was asked to open with a short statement that would frame the issues and concerns that the question of judgement currently sets in play in the context of contemporary artistic practice, education and research. The purpose of this exchange between three members of the PARSE Journal editorial committee was to frame the theme of judgement as a point of departure for the new publication. While retaining the relatively informal mode of address of the original context of presentation, the transcript has been edited and modified for publication.

Curating After the Global: Roadmaps for the Present
- 2019
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this volume, an international, interdisciplinary group of writers discuss what it means to be global—or to be local—in the context of artistic, curatorial and theoretical knowledge and practice. Continuing the discussion begun in The Curatorial Conundrum (2016) and How Institutions Think (2017), Curating After the Global considers curating and questions of locality, geopolitical change, the reassertion of nation-states, and the violent diminishing of citizen and denizen rights across the globe. It has become commonplace to talk of a globalized art world and even to speak of contemporary art as a driver of globalization. This universalization of what art is or can be is often presumed to be at the cost of local traditions and any sense of locality and embeddedness. But need this be the case? The contributors to Curating After the Global explore, among other things, specific curatorial projects that may offer roadmaps for the globalized present; new institutional approaches; and ways of thinking, vocabularies, and strategies for moving forward. Contributors include Lotte Arndt, Marwa Arsanios, Athena Athanasiou and Simon Sheikh, María Berríos and Jakob Jakobsen, Qalandar Bux Memon, Ntone Edjabe and David Morris, Liam Gillick, Alison Greene, Yaiza María Hernández Velázquez, Prem Krishnamurthy and Emily Smith, Nkule Mabaso, Morad Montazami, Paul-Emmanuel Odin, Vijay Prashad, Kristin Ross, Grace Samboh, Sumesh Sharma, Joshua Simon, Hajnalka Somogyi, Lucy Steeds, Françoise Vergès Copublished with the Center for Curatorial Studies Bard College/Luma Foundation

Curating and the Educational Turn
- 2010
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In recent years there has been increased debate about the incorporation of pedagogy into art and curatorial practice – about what has been termed ‘the educational turn’. In this follow up volume to the critically acclaimed Curating Subjects, artists, curators, critics and academics respond to this widely recognised sense of art’s paradigmatic re-orientation towards the educational. Consisting primarily of newly commissioned texts, from interviews and position statements to performative texts and dialogues, Curating and the Educational Turn also includes a small number of previously published writings that have proved pivotal in the debate so far. This anthology presents an essential enquiry for anyone interested in the cultural politics of production at the intersections of art, curating, and educational praxis. Text contributions by: 16 Beaver Group, Peio Aguirre, Dave Beech, David Blamey & Alex Coles, Daniel Buren & Wouter Davidts, Cornford & Cross, Charles Esche, Annie Fletcher & Sarah Pierce, Liam Gillick, Janna Graham, Tom Holert, William Kaizen, Hassan Khan, Annette Krauss, Emily Pethick, & Marina Vishmidt, Stewart Martin, Ute Meta Bauer, Marion von Osten & Eva Egermann, Andrea Phillips, Raqs Media Collective, Irit Rogoff, Edgar Schmitz, Simon Sheikh, Sally Tallant, Jan Verwoert, Anton Vidokle, Tirdad Zolghadr

Exhibitionary Acts of Political Imagination
- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The art exhibition is the object of a wide range of critical explorations in contemporary practice and theory. Exhibition may be approached as a genre, as an apparatus and/or as a poetics (a process of worldmaking) and there is a wide and growing literature on exhibition histories and on the exhibition as a site of enquiry where these different constructions are employed. This volume seeks to add to the current wide range of scholarship, critique and curatorial experimentation that considers the affordances of exhibition. It seeks to do so with respect to the question of political imagination. Political imagination is intended here to suggest general operations of imagination in the realm of the political, and also the specific, more technical concept of the political imaginary.

Expo-Facto: Into the Algorithm of Exhibition
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The ascendancy within the contemporary art system of e-flux announcements, social media posting, art-blogging, website mediation of exhibition, and jpg-enabled art sales has been in place for some time. However, there has been, in the context of the COVID19 global pandemic, an intensification of the relays between exhibition protocols and the culture of digital networks. In what seems like a global institutional convergence – similar in ways to the pervasive distribution of white cube though much more accelerated – there has been a widespread adoption of the exhibition-online as the immediate solution to the demands of physical distancing, lockdown and travel restriction in the context of the global pandemic. This would seem to warrant some critical reflection and analysis in its own right. What is at stake in this drive to online exhibition? What are the operative presumptions about exhibition that inform this imperative? This volume contains a series of responses by contributors to the task of thinking the question of exhibition in response to the extensive digitization of culture in general, and the intensive mobilisation of exhibition via digital network infrastructures in particular.

How Institutions Think: Between Contemporary Art and Curatorial Discourse
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Reflections on how institutions inform art, curatorial, educational, and research practices while they shape the world around us. Contemporary art and curatorial work, and the institutions that house them, have often been centers of power, hierarchy, control, value, and discipline. Even the most progressive among them face the dilemma of existing as institutionalized anti-institutions. This anthology–taking its title from Mary Douglas's 1986 book, How Institutions Think–reconsiders the practices, habits, models, and rhetoric of the institution and the anti-institution in contemporary art and curating. Contributors reflect upon how institutions inform art, curatorial, educational, and research practices as much as they shape the world around us. They consider the institution as an object ofienquiry across many disciplines, including political theory, organizational science, and sociology. Bringing together an international and multidisciplinary group of writers, How Institutions Think addresses such questions as whether institution building is still possible, feasible, or desirable; if there are emergent institutional models for progressive art and curatorial research practices; and how we can establish ethical principles and build our institutions accordingly. The first part, “Thinking via Institution,” moves from the particular to the general; the second part, “Thinking about Institution,” considers broader questions about the nature of institutional frameworks. Contributors include Nataša Petrešin Bachelez, Dave Beech, Mélanie Bouteloup, Nikita Yingqian Cai, Binna Choi and Annette Kraus, Céline Condorelli, Pip Day, Clémentine Deliss, Keller Easterling and Andrea Phillips, Bassam El Baroni, Charles Esche, Patricia Falguières, Patrick D. Flores, Marina Gržinić, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten, Alhena Katsof, Emily Pethick, Sarah Pierce, Moses Serubiri, Simon Sheikh, Mick Wilson
