Der Vortrag von Owens und El-Maawi war mehr Dialog, als Monolog, wirkte offen und porös, statt glatt und durchgetaktet. Sie sprachen von ihren Erfahrungen als Aktivistinnen und Forscherinnen in Bezug auf Blackness, Gemeinschaft und Kunst in der Schweiz und darüber hinaus. Hier kann ihrem Gespräch, Wer interveniert? Gedanken aus kunst_ / kultur_aktivistischer Perspektive, zugehört werden:… Weiterlesen The fourth lecture: Sarah Owens und Rahel El-Maawi

Michèle Magema is a Congolese-French artist who deals with questions of identity, race,colonialism and femininity in her work.

Searching for a queer Utopia hidden in Shrek and The Lego Movie
Jack Halberstam, Columbia University Professor of English and Comparative Literature, finds that both “Shrek” and “The Lego Movie” can be viewed as counter-narratives that challenge dominant heteronormative conceptions of success and gender-identities. Responding to children’s independence from these conceptions, children’s movies depict alternative forms of community and association, effectively turning into windows of opportunity with… Weiterlesen Searching for a queer Utopia hidden in Shrek and The Lego Movie

Making nothing out of something works – it does something. Revisiting New Yorker (An-)architect Gordon Matta-Clark’s Conical Intersect (1975) and Splitting (1974) and discussing Bologna based street artist Blu’s intentional destruction of his own murals in 2014 and 2016, I further explore the idea of making nothing and how this can function as an intervention,… Weiterlesen NOTHING WORKS, but how?
Von zersägten Häusern und der Macht des Nichts
Gordon Matta-Clark schloss ein Architekturstudium ab. Doch anstatt Häuser zu bauen, sägte er sie auseinander: Er schnitt grosse runde Löcher in die Wände und Böden oder teilte die Gebäude in der Mitte entzwei. Leerstehende, zerfallende Piers in New York City oder Einfamilienhäuser, die im Bauboom der Nachkriegszeit gebaut wurden und nun neuen Gebäuden weichen sollten.… Weiterlesen Von zersägten Häusern und der Macht des Nichts

In her talk at the Kunstmuseum Gegenwart, Banu Karaca gave the audience a tour through censorship in Turkey, pointing out amongst other things, ways of reacting to censorship of one’s art under a government that seems to be cracking down on freedom of artistic expression. It is this “reaction to the reaction” - that is,… Weiterlesen Reactions to reactions: censorship in the Turkish art scene
The second lecture: Jack Halberstam
I live on earth at present, and I don't know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing – a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral funtion of the universe. Jack Halberstam opened his lecture, Unbuilding Gender: Trans*Anarchitectures In and Beyond… Weiterlesen The second lecture: Jack Halberstam
