Ruth Anderwald: Der Taumel – eine Ressource?, lecture in German at Forum 20:17, Zukunftslabor der Jugendarbeit.9–10 October, 2017Merano, Italy
Until the end of 2023, "Navigating Dizziness Together" is accompanying the "Action for Sustainable Future hub", who supports projects on sustainability at the intersection of science, society, and art.
In a public conversation, the artist Jonathan Horowitz and the photographer Wolfgang Tillmans will share insights on their artistic and curatorial work. Starting from Horowitz’ exhibition We Fight to Build a Free World! at the Jewish Museum in New York, they will investigate the potential art offers to fight racism and anti-Semitism.
My body felt spongy and disoriented. I no longer had a sense of the size of the room or where anyone was within it, I didn’t know where the walls were, or the distance between my elbow and hip, my chin and the floor.
Choreography is a coward’s excuse for control. Choreography is a futile attempt at seizing power.
The conference will explore how different forms of resilience underpin human development.
How does an artist live and work in isolation? How can he/she follow up on exhibition commitments? What kind of artistic strategies should be developed in order to maintain a presence and contact with the public in this situation? What would then be the role of the curator, and of the institution in general, in extreme situations where mobility is imperiled?
