DAI-bulletin 2007-2008 number ten July 2008

 

This is the tenth issue of the monthly DAI-bulletin in the academic year 2007-2008, informing you about our program, important dates and events.
Please scroll to THIS TIME IT IS PRIVATE for information on current presentations and exhibitions by alumni, students and faculty.

///////// DAI Week Jul 2008 /////////
Instead of asking its master students to come to 'school' on a weekly base the DAI offers an alternative educational environment: during one week a month (so 11 times per year), everyone who is involved in DAI stays in Enschede day and night and takes part in a rich programme consisting of lectures, seminars, projects, excursions, workshops, and evaluations of his or her own work, which lasts from early morning until late at night. During the DAI week, cooks prepare the afternoon and evening meals that staff, students and guest lecturers from all over the world take in the cosy canteen. During the week participants in the programme spend the night at one of the two DAI houses in the centre of Enschede.

The series of events and the exhibition scheduled to accompany the European Soccer Championship 2008 in the Kunsthalle project space centers on the politics and present-day role of games.

On show is work of Jake & Dinos Chapman (UK), Künstlergruppe //////////fur//// (D), Carsten Höller (D), Margarete Jahrmann (A / CH), Max Moswitzer (A), Eastwood-Real Time Strategy Group (SRB), Liddy Scheffknecht (A), Jakob Scheid (A), Paul Sermon (UK), Axel Stockburger (A), Sam Taylor-Wood (UK), Patrick Wiesner (FL), Erwin Wurm (A) and current DAI student Tatia Skhirtladze (A / NL).

Mermaid Hair in the Outboard Motor
July 2 2008

Artist talk by DAI advisor to the students Rebecca Sakoun and DAI mentor Florian Göttke.
In Spring this year, Florian Göttke and Rebecca Sakoun travelled to Iqaluit and Pangnirtung in Nunavut, Inuit communities in high arctic Canada. Over the past few generations, rapid and profound changes have taken place with regards to lifestyle, political and social organization, cosmology/world view, the local economy, education, child rearing, diet, land use, wildlife management, infrastructure, housing, and language; a few of the areas profoundly transformed by colonialization, capitalism, and modernity.
It became apparent that most inhabitants are actively engaged as both researcher and cultural mediator. There is an urgency and necessity to salvage all the fragments of traditional knowledge and cultural practice in order to reassemble the Inuit´s disturbed identity, to carefully preserve these remnants and connect them to the modern media society.
In the framework of these topics the artists will present a selection of the abundant visual material the have gathered and will present an account of their experiences.
