Rubro – a mirabolante história da cor vermelha Marta Bernardes & Ignacio Martinez De Salazar

Rubro conta a história da cor vermelha utilizando para isso a manipulação ilusionística de objectos, de canções e de pequenas histórias baseadas na história real do mundo, quer seja a história política (as bandeiras, os exércitos, as revoluções, os heróis...), narrativa (os personagens arquetipais de contos, as figuras infantis, a simbologia, a pintura...) ou técnica (a fabricação dos pigmentos, a dimensão óptica, etc.). Este é um espectáculo multimédia concebido com o intuito de estimular a sensibilização à dimensão plástica, sensitiva e significante da realidade.

Otherwise Engaged

Five, by Lubaina Himid MBE, 1991, acrylic on canvas, 1.5x1.2m Collection of G. Pollock, permanent loan to Leeds Art Gallery
Otherwise Engaged: Legacies and Questions of Marginal and Mainstream Visual Arts Strategies

Otherwise Engaged is an international, predominantly post-graduate symposium.
Saturday 3 December 2011, University of Leeds.

In 1995 Kobena Mercer published the first in his Annotating Art’s Histories edited series, Cosmopolitan Modernisms. In his introduction, Mercer stated that the series would offer:

‘[A] fresh approach [to art history] by showing how a shared history of art and ideas was experienced differently around the globe….In a situation where the aspiration to be all inclusive has become the official watchword of institutional policy, has the very idea of ‘inclusion’ now become a double-edged sword?‘

In 2011, as an emerging group of artists, curators, art historians and academics enter the field of visual arts, this symposium seeks to investigate how we are to engage with the challenges of a shared and plural art history that Mercer, and so many others, speak of. What is the meaning of ‘inclusion’ today, sixteen years after Mercer’s publication? The symposium hopes to explore the numerous ways in which issues of race, culture, class, sex and gender have been considered across the various arenas of visual art, and how this emerging generation of those operating in the visual arts engage with the existing challenges of the past, present and future.

Otherwise Engaged is a one-day, predominantly post-graduate, symposium considering the challenges of intervention, integration, separatism, confrontation, assimilation, ghettoisation and accommodation. How have marginalised spaces and mainstream institutions engaged with these challenges? We are interested in exploring the processes, relationships and pluralities of the various sites of the marginal and the mainstream. What are the experiences and examples of specific interventions, theoretical strategic models, and tactical approaches from contemporary art practice and writing, culture, education and curating?

Otherwise Engaged is an interdisciplinary event that crosshatches experiences, perspectives and analyses from art history, fine art, cultural studies, museum and curatorial studies, feminist studies, gender studies, sociology and post/colonial studies. While the symposium is situated in contemporary Britain and the complexities of representation and identity internal to Britain, we strongly encourage the exploration of relationships with other sites, both geographically and generationally.

Old Mining Building, University of Leeds, Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 9JT, on Saturday 3 December 2011. Supported by University of Leeds LEAP Research Hub.

JULIE RIVERA. LA ARQUITECTURA DE LA FELICIDAD

CAAC

24 noviembre 2011 - 4 marzo 2012
Inauguración: 24 noviembre 2011, a las 20:00 h.
Comisariado: Margarita Aizpuru
Sesión expositiva: Margen y ciudad

Asistimos en nuestras sociedades occidentales contemporáneas a procesos de globalización urbana, a la conversión de los cascos históricos de las ciudades en espacios de consumo turístico y de ocio estandarizado, a una progresiva ampliación y extensión de la ciudad a esos espacios antes circundantes y paisajísticos, no urbanos, que son sustituidos por lo urbano estandarizado, homogeneizándolos y banalizándolos, creando repeticiones clónicas en zonas y lugares muy diferentes con independencia de su singularidad histórica y especificidad originaria sociocultural. Hoy más que de urbanización se habla de "urbanalización" o banalización de los procesos de urbanización, y en vez de ciudadanos, de usuarios y/o consumidores, de objetos y servicios diseñados por equipos multidisciplinares, a las órdenes de los mercados y entidades que crean y programan las políticas económicas implantadas.

A partir de estas premisas y con una serie de vídeos de performances, fotografías y maquetas, Julie Rivera articula su proyecto expositivo titulado La arquitectura de la felicidad. Con esta ironía se centra en la lógica que rige los itinerarios, el uso de los espacios y el tiempo, e incluso los movimientos corporales y las miradas de los usuarios en los centros comerciales. En su organización interna, en la manipulación y estandarización de comportamientos, aletargados por grandes dosis de sugestión consumista, que se ofrece de forma ficcional y banal como sustituto de la plenitud y la felicidad. Así como en la generación de pautas de conducta que producen todo un estilo de vida, tanto en el interior de estos espacios como en sus alrededores, y en la extensión de sus fórmulas y estrategias hacia los cascos históricos de las ciudades, a través de procesos de "urbanalización" y "brandificación", gestionando sus diferencias o "marcas" de autenticidad al igual que en los centros comerciales, pero en su versión híbrida con los parques temáticos, "reduciendo a la ciudad a una simple proyección de su imagen-marca, descargándola de toda su complejidad, y por tanto, mostrando su versión más digerible".

Anna Jonsson

Desde el jueves 24 de noviembre hasta finales de enero, la Galería Joan Gaspar de Madrid presenta “Rouge, c’est la couleur de mes rêves”, una exposición que explora la relevancia del color rojo en la obra de artistas modernos y contemporáneos como Clavé, Masson, Miró, Feito, Anna Jonsson, Ruth Morán, Manuel Salinas, Viladecans...
Será porque el rojo es uno de los tres colores primarios, será por su fuerza o por su capacidad de evocar los estados más poderosos y opuestos del ser humano: el rojo del amor, el rojo pasión, él del honor o el rojo sangre, pero desde siempre los artistas han recurrido a él, a veces de manera ocasional para dar profundidad e ímpetu a sus obras, a veces convirtiéndolo en el color de su bandera, en una temática en sí.
Poniendo el color en primer plano, la exposición se convierte en un “paseo cromático” donde el visitante descubre las infinitas posibilidades y matices de una tonalidad que, en cada una de sus representaciones y bajo cada mirada, despierta un pálpito distinto. Os invitamos, pues, a un viaje emotivo a través del rojo absoluto de Miró, del rojo fogoso de Luís Feito, de los rojos exóticos de los collages japoneses de Clavé, el rojo femenino de las esculturas de Anna Jonsson, los rojos oníricos de André Masson o el color vibrante de las obras de Joan Pere Viladecans.
Y puesto que el rojo es también el color de Baco, después de embriagarse de arte el visitante podrá refrescarse saboreando una copa de Chivas, Chivas On The Rocks o Champagne ofrecida por Chivas y Mumm.

Women Artists, Feminism in the 80s and Now

Symposium

Saturday 3 December 

Goldsmiths University, Ben Pimlott Building, 10am-5pm

Free, no refreshment provided

For more information contact Althea Greenan: a.greenan@gold.ac.uk

Access: see attached campus map and for additional info: http://www.gold.ac.uk/find-us/

The symposium is collaboration between The Women’s Art Library and BAG Women (Brixton Art Gallery women artists group) to coincide with Brixton Calling! exhibition at 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning (28 October – 21 December 2012).

Women Artists, Feminism in the 80s and Now is a cross generational symposium that examines the legacy of UK 80s women artists and feminists in the light of current feminist practice and thinking.

The symposium aims to recall 80s Feminist practice, thinking, debates and campaigns and discuss their relevance today for a new generation of women artists and feminists.

The symposium is part of a series of events, held during Brixton Calling! including a 3 day 80s Women Lens Based Media Event (10-12 November 2011, Brixton Village). For more information contact: e-mail: info@198.org.uk

Brixton Calling! (2011) is a collaborative and participatory project, connecting contemporary Brixton to its past through the history of 1980s Brixton Art Gallery & Artists Collective and their archives. Based at the Brixton Art Gallery, 2 women artists groups: Women's Work and Black Women In View, initiated and curated ambitious and powerful exhibitions and led courses, conferences and public events; contributing to local and international political campaigns and debates around Feminist art and aesthetics, sexuality, race and gender.

For Brixton Calling! exhibition, artists Françoise Dupré and Rita Keegan have created an Archives Installation, celebrating the contribution Women Artists and Feminism made to the Brixton Art Gallery. For the project, Dupré and Keegan have reactivated Brixton Art Gallery's network of women artists to form Brixton Calling! BAG Women.

Symposium Question and Themes

Debates about 80s feminist art often raise contradictory but relevant questions: 80s feminist art practice has been forgotten, parodied, emptied out of content, re-enacted, has produced paralyzing reverence and ongoing tension between past and present generations.

The symposium’s running question is:

Drawing from 80s Feminist aesthetics, ethics and practice, how can we today develop a critical and relevant feminist art practice?

It will be addressed by ‘young’ and ‘old’ feminists through panel and group discussions and a concluding plenary session.

Two interconnected themes have been identified:

· Body Politics (performativity, identity formation, race, sexuality)

· Public sphere (community engagement, education, places)

Body Gesture A group exhibition of Feminist Art

Body Gesture
A group exhibition of Feminist art
November 22, 2011 - January 28, 2012

To conclude the gallery’s 30th Anniversary Exhibition Program the Elizabeth Leach Gallery is pleased to present Body Gesture, an exhibition of historical and contemporary feminist art. The late 1960s and 1970s saw the emergence of what, today, is typically referred to as “Feminist Art.” Rooted in the concurrent women’s rights movement of the 1970s, Feminist Art functioned, in part, as an articulation of the methods and objectives of the political movement. Through their work many female artists of this era critiqued prevailing power structures, took increasing ownership of their personal sexuality, exploited assumptions about domesticity, and highlighted the institutional marginalization of women and minorities. These artists employed, and radicalized, many of the same formal and conceptual strategies practiced by their male contemporaries. Ultimately, Feminist artists’ multidisciplinary, performance-based practices, engagement with process-oriented and conceptual methods, and use of film and video proved to be remarkably influential on subsequent generations of artists, both male and female. In fact, the argument could be made that Feminist Art definitively altered contemporary art, shifting the conversation back toward narrative and personal experience, while aiding in the legitimization of performance, video art, and multidisciplinary practices. However, as the visibility of the political Feminist movement has decreased, so too has the prominence of Feminist Art waned. By pairing works by important female artists of the 1970s and 1980s with work by emerging female artists Body Gesture attempts to investigate the role of Feminism in art today.

The Bring In Take Out Living Archive is looking for information, documentation of art works and art works of women and feminist artists from the (trans/post)Yugoslav space.

Dear friends artists, curators, art activists,

The Bring In Take Out Living Archive is a collaborative art project that works on the principals of sharing, information exchange, and ‘collective vs. individual knowledge’. With this continuous open call we are looking for information, documentation of art works and art works of women and feminist artists from the (trans/post)Yugoslav space.

The main feature of the project’s public display are (working) stations like: curated exhibition, live interviews, artist’s talks, reading room, digitalizing and uploading on the spot, video archive and similar. The first public display happened in Gliptoteka Gallery in Zagreb, in the framework of the REDacting TransYugoslav Feminisms: Women’s Heritage Revisited, October 13 - 16, 2011; the second in Ljubljana, at Red Dawns Festival, in March 2012; the third in Sarajevo, in September 2012; the fourth in Vienna, at Open Systems, in October 2012.

For the Perpetuum Mobile station we are calling for video art works - to be screened at the curated exhibition. For legal reasons we can only accept video art works in public domain, as a gift or simply as a copy. For Reading Room and Digital Owen we are looking for any kind of documentation: photo, exhibition photos or information on video and audio material etc., preferably in digital format. The main objective is to collect the information of a specific project (or art work, artist, group, event …) and to make it available and visible, either on the occasions of public displays and/or online.

The intention of Bring In Take Out Living Archive is not to build a material archive with the original works and materials. It is primary a mobile and digital platform where collaboration is not an intention but rather an unavoidable act, not a commodity to be praised but a challenge to explore. It is a continuous process where openness and inclusiveness are considered as a strategy and not as a final and firm possibility.

In case you are able to share, collaborate and add anything of (your personal) interest to Bring In Take Out Living Archive please send it by email, file sharing services or snail mail (see addresses below). Please feel free to ask or inform us for/on details, credits etc.

Please feel free to forward this open call to all you think might be interested.

We are thanking you in advance and looking forward to your unique collaboration,
RED MIN(E)D

re.act.feminism #2 - a performing archive is a continually expanding, mobile and temporary performance archive travelling through six European countries from 2011 to 2013. In its current version, it presents gender-critical, feminist and queer performance art by 125 artists and artists collectives from the 1960s until the beginning of the 1980s, as well as contemporary positions. The research focus is on artworks from Eastern and Western Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, the US and selected countries in Latin America. On its route through Europe this temporary archive will continue to expand through local research and scholarly cooperation. It will also be "animated" through exhibitions, screenings, performances and discussions along the way, which will continuously contribute to the archive.

With this project, the organiser cross links e.V., Berlin and the curators Bettina Knaup andBeatrice Ellen Stammer, draw on the success of the exhibition "re.act.feminism—performance art of the 1960s & 70s today" which was shown to great critical acclaim in the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, Germany, in 2008–2009.

The main goals of the project are to make performance documentation, which is dispersed and often difficult to access, available to a broader public for the first time in such a great volume and variety, and to strengthen cross-generational and trans-cultural dialogue.

The project is based on the idea of a living archive, emphasising the use, appropriation, and re-interpretation of documents: What effect does the performance document have in the moment of its reception, what does it do? What kind of relationship does it create between past and future, between author and recipient?

At Centro Cultural Montehermoso, first venue of the project, the archive will be accompanied by an exhibition presenting 20 artists of different generations, which have been selected from the archive:

Gender workshop - Julia Kisteva and her philosophy com Zuzanna Sanches

	The toccatas, the fugues and the origins of Femininity - Julia Kristeva and her philosophy
	Zuzanna Sanches (National University of Ireland) 17 de Novembro de 2011, 17h00, Sala 1, CES-Coimbra

Resumo Julia Kristeva (born 1941) is a Bulgarian-French philosopher and psychoanalysts. Her writing addresses issues of feminism, abjection, semiotics, motherhood and intertextuality. In Julia Kristeva’s writing existence must be conceived as a relationship of strangers. There the concept of otherness and Otherness mingle where the former stands for the excluded and the latter functions as hypothetical space or place which is of the pure signifier, rather than a physical entity. In this sense strangeness and otherness take on a new meaning not solely within the political sphere but also in psychoanalysis and gender studies. Understanding the intertextuality of our lives can lead us towards experiencing jouissance – total ecstasy or joy at discovering meaning of the meeting between selfhood and otherness: be it in mothering a child or mothering a text. In this seminar we will be looking closely at Julia Kristeva’s “Toccata and Fugue for the Foreigner”, the first chapter of her Strangers to Ourselves (1991). We will be talking about the theoretical peculiarities of femininity or the ‘women’s time’: their heterogeneity, multiplicity and momentariness according to Kristeva. We will try to answer the question of who is a woman, and whether there is such a place for her, usually designated as feminism.

Tertúlia com Alexandra Oliveira e Manuela Tavares

Com Alexandra Oliveira e Manuela Tavares

Durante 5 anos, a investigadora Alexandra Oliveira acompanhou pessoas que praticam prostituição ou outros trabalhos sexuais, nas ruas do Porto. Além disso, desde 2000, tem feito intervenção na área da redução de riscos e da promoção da saúde com prostitutas e prostitutos, tanto de rua como de apartamento, e tem feito outras pesquisas envolvendo diversos trabalhadorxs do sexo, tais como alternadeiras e stripteasers.

Parte desse trabalho, desenvolvido no âmbito do doutoramento em Psicologia, na FPCE da Universidade do Porto, está agora acessível no livro ANDAR NA VIDA – Prostituição de Rua e Reacção Social, recentemente publicado.

Numa altura em que as campanhas conservadoras que misturam tráfico de seres humanos com o exercício do trabalho sexual chegam em força, ao mesmo tempo que é cada vez mais claro que o abolicionismo não responde às necessidades de quem presta serviços sexuais, urge reflectir e perspectivar alternativas feministas que promovam direitos sociais para quem presta serviços sexuais.

Foi a pensar nessa urgência que o CCIF convidou Alexandra Oliveira para uma tertúlia, à qual se junta também a investigadora em Estudos sobre as Mulheres e membro da direcção da UMAR, Manuela Tavares.

The Embroidered Digital Commons

The Embroidered Digital Commons, a photo by litcha sparletta on Flickr.

The Embroidered Digital Commons (2007-2013) is an internationally distributed embroidery of the text 'A Concise Lexicon of/for the Digital Commons' written by the Raqs Media Collective (2003). The text is being stitched by artists, crafters and computer programmers in groups and through social networks as part of the Open Source Embroidery project facilitated by Ele Carpenter.

AMIW will facilitate the stitching of the term ‘Heterogeneous’ as part of VBKÖ, 2011:
Heterogeneous: That, which begins in many places, like the story of a person's life. Diverse, dispersed, distributed, as in the authorship of culture, and in the trajectories of people who come to a site. Interpretations and ideas embrace greater freedom only when they encompass heterogeneity. In this, they are like most intimacies and some kinds of fruitcake. The richer they are, the more layers they have.

Miguel Bonneville Ciclo no Passos Manuel, Porto

Miguel Bonneville apresenta um ciclo de três dias dedicado ao seu trabalho no Passos Manuel, nos dias 10, 11 e 12 de Novembro, no Porto.*

Neste ciclo, Bonneville começará por apresentar o seu trabalho numa palestra intitulada ‘La tristesse durera toujours’ (A tristeza durará para sempre) - as últimas palavras ditas pelo pintor Vincent van Gogh antes da sua morte -, onde projectará imagens e excertos de performances que realizou entre 2003 e 2011.

Seguem-se depois as performances homónimas Miguel Bonneville#6 e Miguel Bonneville#8. Na primeira, estreada em 2008, o artista convidou seis mulheres para falarem das suas vidas numa entrevista filmada, em que o guião de perguntas era o mesmo para todas. Através da edição das suas respostas, Bonneville tentou “encontrar uma terceira identidade, mais perfeita” do que a sua e a de cada uma delas.

A última performance é uma estreia absoluta no Porto, recentemente estreada em Lisboa, no contexto do Festival Temps d’Images. Em MB#8 – espectáculo que poderá incluir conteúdos adequados apenas para adultos - podemos assistir a uma projecção de slides acompanhada de uma narração sobre “a infelicidade de não se poder parar e a frustração de não se poder fugir”.

Programação:
10 DE NOVEMBRO | 22H00 | Palestra: LA TRISTESSE DURERA TOUJOURS
