Synopsis
Conversations from some of the most complex and yet underresearched European and US-American public art exhibitions of the 1980s and 1990s. Edited by CuratorLab at Konstfack University of Arts: Anna Mikaela Ekstrand, Giulia Floris, Vasco Forconi, Edy Fung, Julius Lehmann, Maria Lind, Marc Navarro, Simina Neagu, Hanna Nordell, Tomek Pawlowski Jarmolajew, Marja Rautaharju, Erik Sandberg, Joanna Warsza Assuming Asymmetries is based on the conversations between the curators and participants from some of the most complex and yet underresearched European and US public art exhibitions of the 1980s and 1990s. The discussions include and unpack such influential projects as "Culture in Action" curated by Mary Jane Jacob in 1993; "Sonsbeek 93" curated by Valerie Smith; "Endlichkeit der Freiheit," an exhibition initiated by Heiner Müller and Rebecca Horn, on both sides of the former Berlin wall in 1990; "Construction in Process," an artist-initiated site-specific exhibition in early 1980s Lódz, Poland; "Five Gardens" curated by Carlos Capelán in 1996 in Simrishamn and Ystad, Sweden, and "U-media" in 1987 Umeå, Sweden. The dialogues focus on such questions as: How does one ethically and culturally deal with asymmetries? How have the notions of situated or embedded knowledge changed over the last decades? How can artworks actually create meaning from the place where they're produced? What were the early attempts of de-monumentalizing art outside of the museums; and, finally, what actually is non-extractive curating?, Conversations from some of the most complex and yet underresearched European and US-American public art exhibitions of the 1980s and 1990s. Through conversations with curators and participating artists, this book revisits some of the most groundbreaking yet under-researched European and US public art exhibitions of the 1980s and 1990s- "Konstrukcja w Procesie," an artist-driven collaboration with the Solidarnosc movement in l dz, 1981; "Die Endlichkeit der Freiheit," initiated by artists Rebecca Horn and Jannis Kounellis and playwright Heiner M ller on both sides of the former Berlin Wall in 1990; "Culture in Action," curated by Mary Jane Jacob in Chicago in 1993; "Sonsbeek 93" in Arnhem, curated by Valerie Smith; "Fem tr dg rdar,"curated by Carlos Capelan in Simrishamn and Ystad in 1996; "INSITE," an ongoing series of exhibitions in San Diego and Tijuana launched in 1992; "U-media," curated by VAVD Editions in Ume in 1987; and Ida Biard's "La Galerie des Locataires," which, from 1972 until today, has used the window of a Parisian apartment as an exhibition space. Assuming Asymmetries focuses on questions central to all these projects- How can art productively navigate political tensions? How have artists and curators addressed the ethical asymmetries of the border condition, of inside and outside, working across walls and fences-whether physical, political, or social? Why is participation so hard to catalyze and conduct? How have artworks come to constitute a practice of "situated knowledge," engaging with the contexts in which they are produced or exhibited? And finally, what can we learn from the exhibitions discussed here when developing new, respectful forms of curating today?
