kl. 10.00 - 18.00 Rosa Barba
Workshop: film
The workshop starts tuesday january 10 at 13 o'clock. All other days starts at 10am. Friday january 13. will end at noon.
During this week we will develop a serie of "film letters" and we will work together as a group (as done in film production)
At the end of the week, we will develop an appropriate installation with text, film and sound.
Rosa Barba is an artist who might work in a variety of media but whose work is invariably about one medium in particular: industrial cinema. Rather a distillation of the form than a structural analysis of its component parts that those filmmakers of the late 1960s or ‘70s might have been investigating, her works are beguiling and elemental. Informed by a social and cultural research, the re-presentation or her subjects is more akin to the construction of peculiar monuments than the pleasure or celebration that would otherwise seem to be the surface qualities of her films, sculptures, installations and publications.
Rosa Barba lives and works in Berlin.

Seminar
Modes of Telling: Exposition, Short Fiction, Verse,
& Visual Autobiography
The act of communicating something to someone is a ground wherein lies the bases for all disciplines within the arts, be it literature, music, visual art or dance. This allows for constructive inter-disciplinary collaborations in search for narratives across media and medium. Keeping this fabric of communicative actions as a backdrop, the workshop examines ‘story’ and ‘telling’, two nouns that are compounded to produce one noun – storytelling. Emphasis is placed on how a telling is structured in written texts, and to develop through mimicry and practice one’s own writing.
In order to write, one must read and in order to develop a reading practice, one must read not only by oneself, but also with others. We will read, read aloud and read together a few essays and short stories, to consider how they are written -- language, structure, rhythm, economy of events, a narrative voice -- and what is at stake in the texts. Participants are expected to write four texts – exposition, short fiction, verse and visual autobiography which are to be presented for group discussion and critique.
Reading list:
“Death of the Author” by Roland Barthes
"Six Memos for the Next Millenium" by Italo Calvino
“The Cows” by Lydia Davis
“Species of Spaces and Other Pieces” p. 97-134 (from Je suis né) by Georges Perec
“Power Politics” Chapter 1 "The Ladies Have Feelings So...Shall We Leave it to the Experts"
by Arundhati Roy
"Long Life Cool White: Photographs and Essays" by Moyra Davey
“Pleasure of the Text” by Roland Barthes
JEUNO JE KIM
Coming from music and radio background, Jeuno JE Kim has explored
different genealogies of the realm of sound, performance and text,
referring both to a tradition of experimental music and use of sound and
text in western contemporary art. Her artistic practice combines
different disciplinary frameworks by mixing methods and cultural
cannons, by problematizing the narratives between fiction and reality,
and by blending historical "facts" with speculation about current
movements. Her work is influenced by the ongoing modernization and
westernization in Korea and the Pacific East region, and the urgency of
the political, sociological and cultural issues that permeate this
reality such as nationalism, identity construction, and historical
narration. Kim's projects are continuous inquiries into artistic
responsibility and the use of art as a space for research and a public
arena for a communal and meaningful exchange. Born in South Korea,
currently she is based in Malmö, Sweden.

kl. 13.00 - 15.00 Yael Bartana
Artist talk
Yael Bartana’s films, film installations and photographs, challenges the national consciousness that are propagated by her native country Israel. Questions of "Homeland", "Return" and "Belonging" are the central questions she explores.
Bartana's platform of investigation are ceremonies, public rituals and social diversions that are intended to reaffirm the collective identity of countries. Working outside the country, she observes it from a critical distance. Her early films were primarily registrations in which aesthetic interventions, including soundtracks, slowing the image and specific camera perspectives, played a role. The Israeli artist first became interested in exploring the nation of Poland four years ago, when she began her Polish Trilogy, a series of films that examine nineteenth and twentieth-century Europe as a historic homeland for Ashkenazi Jews.[2] In recent years, she has increasingly staged her films, and proposed utopic narratives for new chapters of history.
Yael Bartana lives and works in Tel Aviv and Berlin.

The Dawn of the System: Early Theories and Social
Implementations
The three-day workshop will give an introduction to system based thinking and practices as it has developed in a variety of field since the middle of the 20th century. Taking its point of departure in the scientific discovery of system logic as a means to create a more controlled, stable, and free world, the workshop will offer an extended perspective by looking at how this process of rationalisation have been challenged by hackers and artists in critical and inventive ways. The overall aim of the workshop is thus to create an understanding for the history and theory of systems, which are becoming an ever more integrated and influential factor in our lives and through this understanding develop a vocabulary that is able to address both problems and possibilities of systems in contemporary society.
The first day of the workshop will discuss the fundamental theory of systems, which in the next two days will then be discussed through examples from cultural practices and art.
The theme and texts of each will be introduced by an informal lecture and then openly discussed by all. The students are free to either get a general overview by reading several texts or focus on specific points in a single text.

Lecture; Another Architecture
The lecture will be discussing architecture beyond object, spatial agency and spatial practice referring to the latest critic produced by architectural theorists themselves who finally realized that “architecture as a discipline had become too restricted in its focus on the output, and in so doing had evaded some of the wider forces that go into its production.” (Jeremy Till, Nishat Awan, Tatjana Schneider: Practice beyond building). They started with a critique of the conservative tendencies of architectural practice, and its apparent complicity with the forces that gave rise to the false boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s when architectural production serve only to purposes of the market capitalism. However to continue the critical project that quickly shifted into a more optimistic vein, as they would claim: “ Found inspiration in the transformative ways others, often from beyond the self-defined architectural stable, that have approached the production of the built environment. Among others they would look as well into the filed of contemporary art.
The argument on the subject will be presented though several cases of spatial and artistic practice.
Apolonija Šušterši? is an architect and visual artist. Her work is related to a critical analysis of space; usually focused at the processes and relationships between institutions, cultural politics, urban planning and architecture. Her broad – ranging interest starts at phenomenological study of space and continues its investigation into social and political nature of our living environment. She usually makes extensive researches into specific situations found on location, which she uses as a starting point of her project. The result isn’t only presented as analytical criticism but it produces in itself already a suggestion for the future. She pursues new possibilities and makes proposals from a hybrid point of view that ranges beyond art and architecture, making socially committed works naturally taking the form of everyday life activity. Her practice is imbedded within interdisciplinary discourse and usually includes collaborations with other professionals such as architects, urban planners, curators, sociologists, and local population.
Together with architect and researcher, Meike Schalk she formed an operative unit, which occasionally produces research, projects, actions and discussions.
Apolonija Šušterši? is currently a PhD student at University of Lund, Malmö Art Academy, Sweden; she has her own art / architecture studio practice in Amsterdam, the Netherlnads and in Ljubljana, Slovenia. As a former professor at Royal University College of Fine Arts she established a Department of Permanent Transformation; a mobile unit; a parasite that could be plugged into any institution that performs an educational function.
Apolonija Sustersic participated in a number of internationally published and exhibited projects and exhibitions within and beyond the international contemporary art institutions around the world, like Moderna Museet Stockholm, Berlin Bienale, Luxembourg City of Culture, Moderna Galerija Ljubljana, Marian Goodman, Paris, De Appel, Amsterdam, Generali Foundation, Vienna, Art Museum, University of Memphis, USA, Tirana Biennale 3, Tirana, Muhka, Antwerp, Edinburgh International Festival, Edinburgh among others.
