Containers, Seaports, Sekula
 |
| Allan Sekula and Noël Burch, still from The Forgotten Space (2010). |
After spending a summer writing about seaports and shipping containers, I'm bookmarking this article on Rhizome. http://rhizome.org/editorial/2014/aug/14/containers/
Interested to find out more...expat ladies, email me at jdietrick@gmail if you have any stories about ports, shipments, or your employers—anything that relates to global trade. It's for a 2015 summer project at MoCA Jacksonville's Project Atrium and a larger series. Past project documented by the extraordinary Sarah Emerson here: https://vimeo.com/71907184

Michelle Grabner on Curating the Whitney Biennial- BurnAway
Michelle Grabner, fearless as usual. "I am giving primacy to artists who are also teachers rather than young emerging artists. I looked at the artists who are teaching these young artists."

Geographies of Collaboration, Berlin
After Year Zero - Geographies of Collaboration I Conference
Exhibition - Conference
Haus der Kulturen der Welt / Berlin
http://hkw.de
Exhibition / 19.09-24.11
The realignment of the world after the Second World War is not recounted
here with regard to the confrontation between the Cold War blocs, but with
a focus on the interweaving of European and African history in the process
of decolonization.
In installations, videos and films , artists such as John Akomfrah and
Jihan El-Tahri examine the attempts to transform the basic conditions of a
Western-dominated modern era. A conference takes up "Geographies of
Collaboration" with a view to the first Asian-African conference, which was
held in Bandung, Indonesia in 1955 and gave rise to the Non-Aligned
Movement.
Conference / 03-05.10.2013
The panel discussions take as their point of departure the Western,
ideologically dressed-up concept of freedom, of which the Congress Hall,
today the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, itself is a symbol. The building,
conceived as an architectural signal in the Cold War, exemplifies the
humanistic universalism of the "free West" that reordered itself after the
Second World War.

Artist interview, Walid Raad: a mediator between worlds - The Art Newspaper
"...when these objects travel overseas, they will change...In the final reckoning, Raad is committed to expressing his political, historical and theoretical concerns in a medium that is emphatically visual. “I’m working with line, colour, shape and form,” he says. “Whether it’s a war or this massive infrastructure, you confront an event like this emotionally, aesthetically, historically, conceptually, and you see an opening for a new form, a gesture that must do justice to the complexity of this experience. Physical universes are being built all the time. How do you build one that doesn’t collapse in a few seconds? That’s a challenge."
