Dear students, the seminar on tuesday will start at 2pm.

We`re happy to have Tanja Ostojić as a guest! She will give a Lecture Performance called:

“Crossing Borders: Development of Different Artistic Strategies”

Tanja Ostojić, born 1972 in Yugoslavia (Serbia), is an independent performance, interdisciplinary artist and cultural activist based in Berlin. She studied art in Belgrade and Nantes. 

 Ostojic directly familiarized herself with popular border crossings strategies that migrants have been using for decades. In order to take her own rights that
 she has been restricted from by EU migration laws, she explicitly applied strategies of provoking public sphere and of violation of law, to gain the right to move freely and live and work in Shengenia. Ostojić includes herself as a character in performances and uses diverse media in her

artistc researches, thereby examining social configurations and relations of

 power. She works predominantly from the migrant woman’s perspective, while political positioning, humour and integration of the recipient define the approach in her work. 

 

Her series of works entitled Integration Project summarizes experiences and investigations related to the situation of being a women immigrant in Germany. The preceding project Looking for a Husband with EU Passport was an initial key frame that themathises gender politics and capitalism and describes the collision between isolation, poverty and the EU policies of exclusion: to obtain a residence permit for the EU she posted her nude photo on the Internet in search of an EU passport holder interested in marriage. The wedding as an act in the media of law followed a brief meeting in Belgrade.

 Ostojić includes herself as a character in performances and uses diverse media in her artistic researches, thereby examining social configurations and relations of power. She works predominantly from the migrant woman’s perspective, while political positioning, humour and integration of the recipient define the approach in her work.

Some major questions became topics for the first discussion:

What means education in different systems of education in the arts?

What should be provided for the students ?

Privat vs. state universities ?

Neo-liberal concept of (art)education, language barriers and hierarchies,

exclusions in terms of class, race and/or privileges within different schoolmodels.

SEMINARS WS 2010/2011 Heterotopies

Heterotopies are spaces without place or histories without chronology. Heterotopies are universes that might be impossible to trace on a map because the do not belong to a place. They are born in our heads, in the cut up of our words, in non-places, dreams or, as Foucault said, "out of the sweetness of our utopies“. But they have a reality, a determined time, they can be fixed and measured on a map or in a calender. Foucaults' concept of heterotopies largely influenced theories on mobility and migration.


We will discuss the subject in relation to videos that focus on subjectivity and mobility (films and video works by Brigitta Kuster, Ursula Biemann, Lisl Ponger, Jem Cohen, Eyal Sivan, Alessandro Sambini, Bouba Touré, Phillipe Scheffner, Chantal Akermann, MariaGiovanna Nuzzi, and others.)

Dauer: 4 x 2 Tage zu 4.5 Stunden
Raum: Ha33 - 115

Kommentar:

Ein sehr grosser Teil der Audio, Photo und Videotechnik ist
schon auf die digitale Produktion umgestiegen, und in
wenigen Jahren werden analoge Medien praktisch vollständig
aus unserem Alltagsleben verschwinden. Der Hauptgrund liegt
in der Effizienz, Kontrollierbarkeit und Qualität welche mit
der Digitaltechnik erreichbar sind.

Was bedeutet aber überhaupt digital und analog? Was ist
abgesehen von den technischen Vorteilen der Unterschied? Wie
ist unsere emotionale Reaktion zu digitalen und analogen
Bildern? Und wie beinflusst es unsere Arbeitsweise?

In diesem Workshop werden wir verschiedenste Beispiele aus
beiden Welten anschauen und ausprobieren und über diese
Fragen diskutieren.

Termine:
Do/Fr 28./29. Okt. + 4./5. Nov. + 11./12. Nov. + 18./19. Nov

Kommentar:

Die rasante technische Entwicklung, und die veränderten
Geräte haben einerseits zu einer Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten
zum Arbeiten mit Video geführt, aber auch zu einer grossen
Anzahl von Problemen, vorallem in der Endfertigung. Aufgrund
der vielen Kombinationen und damit verbundenen Fehlerquellen
ist es notwendig die Grundlagen und Funktionsweise dahinter
zu kennen um schon bei der Aufnahme und der Postproduktion
sinnvolle Entscheidungen zu treffen.

In diesem Workshop geht es also darum die Videotechnik zu
verstehen, mit dem Schwerpunkt der Präsentation. Es werden
ausführlich die verschiedenen Formate, Kabel und Geräte
besprochen und ausprobiert.

Seminar

‘Der Möglichkeitsraum’ (The Blast of the Possible)

On the Bio-politics and Archives

Short Text

The ‘new” archivist, who Deleuze recognizes in Foucault, has apparently created something fundamentally new: he cuts transversely through existing language systems across scientific languages, every day enunciation's and schizophrenic nonsense. He wants to stay agile and does not care about juxtaposed sentences or about the keyboard of his type writer. He does not want to speak about the ‘other’ or follow dialectics of conflict because by doing so he can’t differentiate the possible from the actual. He just wants to consider enunciation with all their omissions and breaches.

The seminar ‘Möglichkeitsraum’ invites to think the ‘new’ archivist along the work of three curators and cultural producers on their film and video archives who are collaborating (with me) on a screen performance that will be staged in the Berlin Documentary Forum in the House of World Cultures Berlin between the 3rd and the 5th of June 2010.

With Bettina Knaup (curator), Stefanie Schulte Strathaus (Arsenal Institute for Film - and Videoart) and Brian Holmes (cultural theorist) the three screen performances elaborate the possible and actual potentialities of a history and art production along three archives. We consider Foucault’s idea what an enunciation with it’s omissions and breaches can be in time. We work on ‘rules of transition’ of an enunciation from one time period to the next - within the moving images.

Der Möglichkeitsraum proposes to work in a laboratory like platform, an assembled space in that functions of cinema, theater and prostproduction studio are intertwined with each other. The platform contains a double screen projection, a database and a video- and sound mixer on stage. The screen is connected with the archaic function of theater that is to assemble, switch, combine and perform heterogeneous language flows.

1. Feminism and Performance Art with Bettina Knaup

The video archive assembled for the exhibition project re.act.feminism by the Berlin based curators Bettina Knaup and Beatrice E. Stammer show an exemplary overview of gender-critical performance art of the 1960s and 1970s and its current ‘return’ in form of appropriations, re-enactments and archival or documentary projects. The emergence of feminism and performance art critiqued patriarchal forms of knowledge production, political speech, bio-politics and the capitalizing function of the art market. The Blast of the Possible with Bettina Knaup address the idea of relational feminism within performance art that transgresses gender relations and identity politics in direction to urban bio-politics, knowledge production, therapy and ritualized speech.

(www.reactfeminism.org).

Performance art emerging in the 1960s and 70s was infused with ideas of social emancipation and fundamentally influenced by women artists interested in feminism. Performance art explored the intersection of art and life, of private and public. By focusing on the sentient, creating, knowing, speaking body it is the ideal medium to deconstruct the status of women as art objects and appropriate the subject position, to dramatize the social and physical vulnerability of women’s bodies in a patriarchal society and to deconstruct and subvert notions of stereotypical identity. Moreover, as a new art form, occurring outside the confines of the traditional art space, performance was a medium for collective and social intervention in the public sphere.

Bettina Knaup is a cultural producer with a background in political science, theatre, film, TV studies and gender studies. She has been involved in developing or managing a range of interdisciplinary and transnational cultural projects operating at the interface of arts, politics and knowledge production. These include the open space of the International Women's University (Hanover) and the trans-disciplinary Performing Arts Laboratory, IN TRANSIT (Berlin). For the past three years, she has co-curated and co-produced the International Festival of Contemporary Arts, CITY OF WOMEN, Ljubljana. As LabforCulture manager, Bettina oversees the development and production of the LabforCulture project.

2. Extra-disciplinary Art Practices and Media Activism with Brian Holmes

Four Pathways through Chaos is based on Brian Holmes' political theory about cybernetic governance and extra-disciplinary art practices /media activism.

Activism in a networked society has to confront a complex order of cybernetic norms governing affects, thought, desire and social relations through automation, economic deregulation and overcoded environments. So-called 'second-order cybernetics' operates through the mapping of dispersed, multi-agent populations, aiming for the modulation of complex flows; its characteristic media form is the worldwide web. The bio-political government of control society integrates forms of individualized production of subjectivity. How do social life forms resist the over-coding that constantly tracks and analyzes data about our behavior? 'Any struggle in the fields of knowledge has to begin as extra-disciplinary practices', moving beyond the calibrated access between science and art.

Four Pathways through Chaos is becoming a live montage, exemplifying four historically different audiovisual regimes that occurred in the USA since World War Two: broadcast television in the Cold War consumer society; video in art practice and activism as a subversion of the televisual norm; networked computing and its new forms of 'control environments'; and new communication tactics of migration movements.

Brian Holmes is an art and cultural critic, activist and translator interested primarily in the intersections of artistic and political practice. He holds a doctorate in Romance Languages and Literatures from the University of California at Berkeley. was a member of the graphic arts group Ne pas plier from 1999 to 2001, and has worked with the French conceptual art group Bureau d'études. He is a frequent contributor to the international mailing list Nettime, a member of the editorial committee of the art magazine "Springerin" and the political-economy journal "Multitudes", a regular contributor to the magazine Parachute, and a founder of the new journal "Autonomie Artistique".

3. The Life of a Film Archive with Stefanie Schulte Strathaus

A re-envisioning of moving images on the biography of the archive of the Arsenal Institute for Film and Video art

‚Must cinema screenings be organised by political activists for that new political films can be made?’ (Citation of a movie maker in the assembly ‘Les états généraux du cinema, Mai 1968, from the film ‚Das ist nur der Anfang – der Kampf geht weiter’ von Claudia von Alemann

The criteria of showing, spreading and distributing moving images contains a bio-political dimension that regulates active forces of life because through moving images heteronormative categories in our gaze, gestures and languages are immediately composed or rejected and thus affect our relations.

The Arsenal Institute for Film - and Videoart works with the active forces and fugacity of cinema images and thus understands each screening as a singular event in that the gaze, gestures and languages of it’s public co-determine the archive an it’s location.

Stefanie Schulte Strathaus, director of the Arsenal Institute for Film - and Videoart proposes to look at the possible and actual bio-political agency of an archive with a selection of feminist and queer films that composed three historical cinema events in the Arsenal cinema in Berlin :

- The exemplary event of 1973 with the 1. International Women’s Film Seminar organized and conceived by Helge Sander and Claudia von Alemann that triggered a follow up of other feminist and queer film festivals

- It’s actualisation in the event of 1997 called 'Films, Festivals and Feminism ‚…es kommt darauf an, sie zu verändern'

- And the event of 2009 'LIVE FILM! JACK SMITH! Five Flaming in a Rented World

The feminist film of the 70ties was a thought-provoking tool. It had to be constituted against a large opposition and many difficulties. A political enunciation resulted that is still actual today: a crystalline vision about economic exploitation, heteronormativity and the (bio) political struggles that continue today.
