Pandemic Films

During this global crisis, artists and filmmakers from all over the world are reinventing their way of working. Filmed at home, from a distance, via […]

Tertulia 16: TOWARDS A NON-HEGEMONIC MUSEUM

Posted on

Presented by: Agustín Pérez-Rubio When we speak of contemporary art, the museum has gone from being a receiving institution to a space that seeks to generate a curatorial discourse through exhibitions, research and public programs. The importance of generating local content that is in turn connected globally is one of the current challenges for most institutions. How to move towards a museum that decolonizes the structure of knowledge, what practices help us to trace this new concept of a non-hegemonic museum? Curator Agustín Pérez Rubio […]

Jaar believes that art is “the last place” of freedom in our society and from that trench, he displays his work as an act of resistance. This is the first film made about this […]

Tertulia 13: STORIES OF SOLIDARITY – Rumours against enclosure

Posted on

Presented by: María Berríos How to be in solidarity when there is no possibility of being solid or whole? I will tell two different tales of solidarity, one linked to a museum as a counterpropaganda campaign, rumor as a the poor’s bomb, a call to artists to bring in their work as support structures for the Third World. The second, on the use of storytelling as a way of articulating a language to fight against the systematic warfare of enclosure, a tale involving a group […]

Tertulia 12: STAGING ART – working between visual and performing arts

Posted on

Presented by: Aljoscha Begrich The worlds of visual and performing arts are quite separated. Different in way and time of perception, both developing different audiences, spaces and market. But how can they be brought closer? The Maxim Gorki Theater offers a way of combined parallelism in the so called “theater exhibition“ Berliner Herbstsalon. Visual and performing arts are not presented together in one piece or space, but connected by the topic. Vice a versa, the perception is influenced with daily discourses and by a diverse […]

It has covered, in its 13 previous editions, through historical reviews, theoretical reflections and aesthetic practices mainly the relationship between art and science.

Tertulia 10: Contemporary aesthetics and political debates through exhibitions

Posted on

Presented by: Paz Guevara What does an exhibition perform? How exhibitions shape meanings, categories, narratives and periodizations? Through cases of historical and recent exhibitions, this presentation explores to what extend exhibitions shape aesthetic and political debates. From the cold war exhibitions at the intersections of cultural diplomacy, instrumentalization and mass individualism, the talk will present the critical artistic strategies and the role of artists in the generation of alternative exhibitions formats. Among them, the anti-imperialist art brigades and interational Solidarity Movement in the 1970s. Moderated […]
