Abstract

"J'ai décidé de m'atteler au projet qui me tient à coeur depuis longtemps : se conserver tout entier, garder une trace de tous les instants de notre vie, de tous les objets qui nous ont côtoyés, de tout ce que nous avons dit et de ce qui a été dit autour de nous, voilà mon but." Christian Boltanski

Abstract

Decoding Dictatorial Statues is a collection of images and texts revolving around the different statues behave in public space. How can we decode statues the agency of their sculptured body language and their sociopolitical role as relational objects and media icons?Coupling a designer's perspective with an analytical approach, Ted Hyunhak Yoon explores the cliched poses of dictatorial statues. In his image analysis, he lays out a choreography of these sculptures and uncovers the non-verbal rhetorics that shaped them. In the visual framing opened up by Hyunhak Yoon's image research, readers can zoom in and out of the various narratives on offer.In addition to these visual narratives, the authors - acting as a group of decoders - contribute a wide range of perspectives on the subject. It's statues from different eras, located in different parts of the world, that form, the starting point for these precise dissections. For instance, what links an outbreak of cultural vandalism against a 200 year old Vietnamese devotional subject with the toppling of Saddam Hussein's statue in 2011? Why would a recently liberated African country opt for a North Korean compagny to tell its history? How can we define historical value in regards to the removal of colonial monuments in South-Africa, The Netherlands and the United States?Responding to current debates on the representation of the historical canon, these expert's perspectives and Ted Hyunhak Yoon's vbisual framework address urgent concerns about the depiction and representation of heritage and our future leaders. By asking us to consider the visual language of the statues itself, this project offers a living understanding of a supposedley long-gone symbolic order and a pathway to a more cross-cultural and historic comprehension.

Abstract

On n’y pense peut-être plus, mais l’espace public belge compte pas mal de monuments en mémoire du passé colonial belge. Ces monuments existent encore aujourd’hui, vénérant l’État libre du roi Léopold II jusqu’à l’indépendance du Congo en 1960. Jan Kempenaers a sélectionné et photographié une quarantaine d’entre eux. L’ensemble peut être considéré comme un inventaire, une collection d’images qui étaient autrefois placées pour l’auto-confirmation du système. Jan Kempenaers n’est pas un archiviste, pas un photographe documentaire, mais un artiste à la recherche de l’image ultime. Parfois, les monuments sont montrés dans leur intégralité, parfois seulement partiellement. Les images en noir et blanc offrent une abstraction et une fusion du monument et de l’arrière-plan. Kempenaers ne réalise donc pas de portraits d’État qui confirment leur légitimité. Au contraire, la série remet en question leur statut. Que nous disent ces images sur le passé aujourd’hui ? Ont-ils encore leur place dans notre espace public ? À partir de 2006, Jan Kempenaers s’est rendu en ex-Yougoslavie et a représenté des monuments communistes abstraits, appelés Spominici. Ces sculptures fantastiques sont dispersées ici et là, la plupart du temps dans des endroits reculés dans les montagnes et les forêts, des endroits où l’armée partisane du maréchal Tito s’est battue avec les occupants. L’inventaire que Kempenaers en a fait sous le nom de Spomenik a ramené les images à l’attention, et avec elles aussi les histoires et leur signification, d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. Jan Kempenaers a réuni ici cette collection de monuments coloniaux en dialogue avec un certain nombre d’images de sa série Spomenik ainsi qu’avec des œuvres d’art de la collection Mu.ZEE. Le tout se reflète également dans une publication qui a été produite en coproduction avec Roma Publications.

Abstract

Overview. This milestone volume maps fifty years of artists' engagement with sound. Since the beginning of the new millennium, numerous historical and critical works have established Sound Art as an artistic genre in its own right, with an accepted genealogy that begins with Futurism, Dada, and Fluxus, as well as disciplinary classifications that effectively restrict artistic practice to particular tools and venues. This book, companion volume to a massive 2012-2013 exhibition at ZKM/Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, goes beyond these established disciplinary divides to chart the evolution and the full potential of sound as a medium of art. The book begins with an extensive overview by volume editor and ZKM CEO Peter Weibel that considers the history of sound as media art, examining work by visual artists, composers, musicians, and architects alike. Subsequent essays examine sound experiments in antiquity, sonification of art and science, and Internet-based sound art. Experts then survey the global field of sound art research and practice, in essays that describe the past, present, and future of sound art in Germany, Japan, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Canada, and Scandinavia. The texts are accompanied by hundreds of color images drawn from the ZKM exhibition.

Abstract

"With the global rise of a politics of shock driven by authoritarian regimes that subvert the rule of law and civil liberties, what paths to resistance, sanctuary, and change can cultural institutions offer? What about activism in curatorial practice? In this book, more than twenty leading curators and thinkers about contemporary art present powerful case studies, historical analyses, and theoretical perspectives that address the dynamics of activism, protest, and advocacy. What unfolds in these pages is a vast range of ideas—a tool kit for cultural producers everywhere to engage audiences and face the fierce political challenges of today and tomorrow. Contributors Defne Ayas, Ute Meta Bauer, Nicolas Bourriaud, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Joshua Decter, Clémentine Deliss, Irmgard Emmelhainz, Boris Groys, Hou Hanru, Pi Li, Maria Lind, Steven Henry Madoff, Antonia Majaca, Gabi Ngcobo, Hans Ulricht Obrist, Jack Persekian with Alison Ramer, María Belén Saéz de Ibarra, Terry Smith, Nato Thompson, Mick Wilson, Brian Kuan Wood, Tirdad Zolghadr
