'ARCHIVE' - NOVEMBER 2008
11 &12 NOVEMBER: SESSION WITH STEFANIE SEIBOLD
For her presentation at DAI Stefanie Seibold focused on some of her works that can be connected to the notion of archives. The presentation was followed by a workshop.
Stefanie Seibold's work bears a significant interest in the idea of staging, by which she means a play with objects, gestures, meanings, as well as language and movements connectable to performance and the theatrical. She produces and collects various elements such as printed matter, drawings, video and sounds that belong to a heterogenous "archive“ whose elements - in the moment of a specific choice for a given situation in a certain medium - are then combined to put meaning into a play of performativity. For these various forms of ‘staging’ she is frequently appropriating techniques, texts and ideas of past avantgardes as well as positions of their marginalised critics since she is interested in putting into focus these utopian ideas and values today, often times transpositioning the original contextual use into a contemporary art arena.
2O NOVEMBER: STUDENTS VISIT MUKHA, ANTWERP
Guided tour through the exhibition 'the Order of Things' by Grant Watson. Visit to the 'Behaviour lecture series' with Terre Theamlitz. Terre Thaemlitz presented an audio visual lecture/performance on the theme of nuisance and identity jamming in relation to the term behaviour.
