Sonntag 12.11.Strategien im selbstverwalteten Kunstbetrieb14:00 Uhr Brett Bloom (Chicago)
There is a tremendous need for developing stronger, effective strategies for making space for the production of culture that is outside of the machinations of the market place. Relying too heavily on funding from external sources can reduce creative thinking and openness to new possibilities – in some cases it leads to crippling dependency. In the US, we have had to deal with a complete lack of government funding for many years, thanks in large part to the privatization of the public sector under Ronald Regan and a right-wing assault on the role of experimental arts in American society. We have also seen the increase in corporate funding for the arts, which has sped up the incursion of commercial sociality into ever more aspects of our lives. This has lead to some exciting and innovative developments in the creation of space for art. I will present brief accounts of several diverse spaces and their approaches to developing and maintaining practice in the current political and economic conditions. This includes: The Experimental Station (Chicago), Mess Hall (Chicago), The Steelyard (Providence, Rhode Island), The Empty Vessel Project (Brooklyn, NY), CLUI (Center for Land Use Interpretation in Los Angeles) and Civic Studio (Grand Rapids, Michigan). They all find alternative sources of money, but also support things based on an economy of generosity and resource provisions for those who don't have them. Against this background, the talk is also about shifting art practice to have a greater role in the communities where it is produced as well as take on qualities that lend it to funding from non-arts sources. Brett Bloom is an artist, writer and organizer. He works with the art group Temporary Services. He is also one of 11 keyholders who co-run an experimental cultural center in Chicago called Mess Hall. He has written about the need for the production of independent spaces for art and culture. His latest book, "Group Work", with Temporary Services, is due out in March 2007. Brett Bloom was invited by "projektgruppe". 15:00 Uhr Saul Albert
In March 2006, I was one of a shifting mass of voluntary organisers of NODE.London - a „season of media arts“ that attempted to bring together a very diverse and sometimes antagonistic network of cultural institutions - on the one hand, and rag-tag cultural activist groups on the other, in the context of London as a city of „culture-led regeneration“. The premise was that the organisational process was as open ended as funding allowed, volunteer-led, self-critical and non-hierarchical, and augmented by a host of open source software tools designed specifically for the task. I will present some of the lessons learned through this project and its many productive failures. Saul Albert ist Künstler und Kritiker und lebt in London 16:30 Uhr Michael Lingner
Jenes an sich erstaunliche Phänomen, dass die Akteure im Kunstsystem sowohl durch aktives wie unterlassenes Handeln dessen Ökonomisierung und damit die Bedrohung künstlerischer Autonomie und Kreativität in Kauf genommen haben, lässt sich in seiner Komplexität nur exemplarisch in den Blick bekommen. Als zentrale, gleichsam strategische Schnittstelle zwischen wirtschaftlichen und künstlerischen Interessen sind die Vergabeverfahren von Finanzmitteln zur Kunstförderung ein besonders geeignetes Untersuchungsfeld. Die sich deswegen anbietende Thematisierung der Jury-(= Auswahl- und Ausschluss-) problematik kann von eigenen und andauernden Erfahrungen als Opfer wie als Täter in solchen Selektionsverfahren ausgehen. Michael Lingner ist Professor für Kunsttheorien an der Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg seit 1993 und Leiter des Labor:Kunst&Wissenschaft, www.ask23.de 17:30 Uhr Gerald Raunig
Über die Erfahrungen der ersten beiden Phasen der künstlerischen Institutionskritik (in den 1970ern und den 1990ern) hinaus, geht es im Begriff der „instituierenden Praxis“ um (nicht nur) künstlerische Strategien, die Selbstverwaltung nicht als Verwaltung des Selbst verstehen, sondern als transversale Verkettung. Bedeutung und zum Teil paradoxale Konsequenzen dieses Begriffs werden im Vortrag anhand einiger kurzer Beispiele aus Europa erörtert. Gerald Raunig ist Philosoph und Kunsttheoretiker und arbeitet am eipcp in Wien, http://eipcp.net/ 18:30 Uhr Podiumsdiskussion
