---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: [oberlist] Join us for two Conferences in May: "Do we really need yet another piece of public art?" and "Kulturens roll i Stadsutvecklingen" From: "Martin Schibli" <[email protected]> Date: Mon, April 16, 2012 12:25 pm To: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to join us for two conferences: Do we really need yet another piece of public art? - Towards a new approach on art in public spaces In collaboration with Ã?lands Konstskola The conference wants to raise questions regarding art and its relationship with what is called â??public spaceâ??. There has been a huge interest in art in public spaces since the 1990s, and it seems to be increasing since the last couple of years. To include temporary public artworks is a standard procedure today for most art biennales or larger exhibitions on contemporary art. We have also seen yearly conferences and an increased interest from artists to do projects in the public space in Sweden and elsewhere. Still, despite this increased interest, it seems to be hard to form consensus on the fundamental basics of how to approach the process. Topics addressed in the conference will be; art projects that work in the public space, that a single definition of the public space is insufficient when working in different cultural contexts and different ways to work in the public space based on applied contemporary art theories. Most participants come from Sweden and Poland, which will bring forward different views on the topic. The speakers will be artists and persons involved in the realization of projects. The conference will take place at Ã?lands Folkhögskola. The conference is free of charge. Limited seats. Registration is free but obligatory, email Jörgen Platzer at [email protected] t Ã?lands folkhögskola can help to arrange accommodation close to the conference for 300 SEK/night. Contact Jörgen Platzer for more information. The school cafeteria will sell food and coffee to visitors during the conference. For questions regarding content, please contact Director of Exhibitions Martin Schibli.

I will demonstrate link between the idea of the Open Form (coming from 1955) and my practice based on participation of local people in artistic actions. I will stress that private content revealed in public space lifts its borders and could be important factor for creation of communication channels distroyed by political and social processes. I will show how multivector artistic works at the city open space should be to cover its complicated texture of memory and contemporary meanings and to act for positive social change. Helle Kvamme The Artist's Eye - Welcome With this lecture Helle Kvamme starts a dialogue how artists manifest their actions to public works. What is the artistic process? How involved are citizens who move in the public places? When does the action become a work of art? How can public works challenge human patterns, actions, movements and konversations. In Kalmar Helle works on a temporary piece that will become a meeting place designed like an eye. The title is: The artist's eye - Welcome Professor Varg Nimis, a Public Project With a Large Audience When an artwork receives a lot of attention and gets a large audience it is a problem in the artworld. The artworld wants the art to reach a large and general public. In those rare cases when an artwork gets a large audience the situation is uncomfortable. Something must be wrong with the art. Or is it something wrong with the artworld? Agnieszka Wolodzko Friendly About/With Vandals I want to propose a close look at a phenomenon of street murals. I use two perspectives. The 1st of them conceives murals as an act of vandalism. Here I want to raise a question who Vandals were and what was their meaning in European culture. The 2nd perspective proposes an interpretation of murals as an act of communication. The authorities of Gdansk, taking under the consideration a long tradition of the struggle for freedom in this city, decided to take the 2nd perspective and to have the friendly policy towards murals. It is relatively easy to obtain a permission from the authorities for painting on a wall in the public spaxerent localizations in Gdansk. I would like to put a question what is the policy towards murals in Sweden â?? a country with a very long social-democratic tradition. Vladimir Us In Between the Roads, Blocks of Flats and Monuments My interest for public space is related to the major shift that took place 2 decades ago, when Republic of Moldova appeared as a new entity on the European map resulting from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the way these changes have affected the whole society. This shift was also provoked by the need to reshape the soviet identity of the country, which fact created space for different scenarios to happen later. The major shift, however, was of economic and geopolitical nature. Generally speaking the city of Chisinau stays as a witness for various scenarios being developed along the last two centuries, when Chisinau, initially a tiny market on a crossroads of a medieval state, was first assigned the role of a capital of the Bessarabia - a small gubernia on the periphery of Tsarist Russia, then it became one of the important cities in the eastern part of Great Romania and starting with 1944 the capital city of Soviet Socialist Republic of Moldova. Since 1991 Chsinau is the capital of the independent state Republic of Moldova, but it still bears all the signs of the previous epochs. Today I am very much concerned with the ongoing process of politicization and commercialization of urban areas in post-soviet cities, which fact provokes me thinking about new public spaces that need to be opened. This interest have materialized in several projects that involved different artists and that were curated by me, and few individual works that I have been working on during the last few years. Gustav Hellberg Public Art or Decoration? How Art in the Public Space is Valued I will talk about my experiences in working with art in the public sphere which is mainly practiced without the common employers, such as; the state or the municipality. I will put my own activity, which emanates from aesthetic frameworks about the public sphere and how it is defined, against the ideas about the officially commissioned artworks, where political agendas and views on art differ from present definitions within the artworld. The cultural differences when it comes to public art will be included since my practice is conducted mostly in Sweden and Germany. For example, there are differences when it comes to qualifications or subject knowledge from the commissioning part. Art, artworks and being an artist is valued differently, both emotionally and economically, and this will lead me to touch upon certain cultural traditions, in both Sweden and Germany, that creates different attitudes when it comes to investments in art, especially when it comes to public art. Oscar Guermouche Text in the Public Realm Oscar Guermouche is focused on the words' construction of the subject. Through the languageâ??s relation to structures and its structuring functions, he questions the biography, the self-portrait, and identification. All his work is more or less based on displacements and compilations of existing texts, though the works themselves can be depicted in a number of different techniques such as painting, photography, objects, video, print, and tattoos. Last year, his work "The Great Communicator" was the winning proposal in an international competion for public art in Ronald Reagan Park, Gdansk, Poland. The work consists of a Ronald Reagan quote, to be cast in white cement and marble, in the same font as the iconic Hollywood sign. However, "The Great Communicator" work was stopped, as other of Guermouche's works have been before, based on claimes that the quoted text is too provoking. Å?ukasz Surowiec Use of public sphere I will present my definition of the public sphere, I plan to present the public space as a tool/medium of art - not a destination/purpose of art or a place for art. For example, the last two of my works: "Berlin-Birlkenau", "Cars" and the planned "Black Diamends". I will try to define public space as a social space where the audience becomes a community. I want to say something about visual violence. The activity of art in the public space is associated with problems such as exclusion and visual violence. The conference is a collaboration with Ã?lands Folkhögskola, and is part of the international art-project Art Line, which is part-financed by the European Union (European Regional Development Fund).
