WORLD

"Today as well the danger lurks that “artistic research” will be encapsulated by academic routines and institutional stereotypes which will seriously impede creativity and artistic reflection. How do we prevent the fundamental dynamics and transformational potential of an as yet productive field from eventually becoming part of a hegemonic, controlling machine as a result of methodological processes of normalization? Could a “farewell” to such gentrified artistic research produce novel forms of articulation while proceeding from the perspective of contemporary art?" At DAI we feel empowered by MaHKUscript’s editorial proposal which intends to provide a clear and constructive contribution to such re-thinking and re-evaluation. MaHKUscript.

Thursday 17 December, 2020: Online Discussion and Screening. State of Concept, in collaboration with Goethe-Institut Athens organizes the talk "Seeding Gossips", the third event of the series Gossips. Moderated by: iLiana Fokianaki ( COOP tutor at DAI). Artist (& also a COOP tutor at DAI), Marwa Arsanios and artist Jumana Manna have been through their artistic practice, looking into communities and their efforts to work against multi-national companies and their extractive tropes, the effects of political turmoil and war on natural resources and science, and the processes of recuperation and restoration of ancestral knowledges from communities the world over.

This winter join If I Can’t Dance 2019-2020 Performance in Residence researcher Derrais Carter for Black Revelry Quiet Storm (BRQS), a three-part monthly radio broadcast series that places Carter in the role of the late-night DJ. BRQS is part of Carter’s broader Black Revelry project, which takes up the detail—or "the sample"—as a method for reading the iconic Sugar Shack (1976) by Ernie Barnes, a painting that has circulated widely within Black popular culture (for example, as the cover art for Marvin Gaye's album I Want You) across over four decades. Beginning today, 16 December - see the full list of broadcasts here.
