Essay in Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art series on Speculation
2023-03-28 00:00 - 2023-05-27 23:59
Our essay “Sketches from a Secession” will be published by MIT Press for the Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art series Speculation edited by Marina Vishmidt.

Engaging with the question of speculation in ways that encompass the artistic, the economic, and the philosophical, with excursions into the literary and the scientific, this collection approaches the theme as a powerful logic of contemporary life whose key instantiations are art and finance. …In this context, the artist is seen as a speculative subject and a paragon of creativity—the diametrical opposite of the bean-counter obsessed with balance sheets and value added. However, once social reality becomes speculative and opaque in its own right—risky, algorithmic, and overhauled by networked markets—what becomes of the distinction between not just art and finance but art and life?

Curated by  Sybille Neumeyer

”Teleconnections“ is a term used in climate science to describe causal relationships between far distant climate zones. Beyond a merely meteorological perspective, the exhibition puts into discourse the correlations between climates, media and politics.

Political, cultural and social atmospheres are shaped by the influence of the media, and technologically produced climate narratives (re)produce power relations. In addition to topics such as greenwashing, media as catalysts of CO2 cycles, colonial data structures, activism and energy infrastructures, the multimedia contributions of the international artists deal with eco-feminist, speculative and poetic approaches.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a discourse programme of workshops, lectures and guided tours.

Seminar at the New Centre
2025-07-12 00:00 - 2025-08-23 23:59
Our seminar titled, Prototyping Para-Institutional, will address para-institutions which emerged in the cultural field in response to major events such as the 2008 financial crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic, indicating a demand for knowledge production that engaged with critical socio-political junctures. These responses were often informal, fugitive, and fleeting. While structurelessness was a feature, sustaining these efforts over time proved challenging. If sustainability was achieved, it was through partnerships with established institutions, private patronage, or through public funding. This workshop will begin by defining para-institutions: what is the institutionality that it operates beside, beyond, or against? We will look at the historical forces that once bound cultural institutions to an international order—a system that’s now unraveling through multipolarity and an ascendant right-wing. The faltering of once durable cultural institutions has been met by a multitude assembling and dispersing across online platforms. This short history will be reviewed and notable examples highlighted. Guests include Jürgen Bock, Director of the Maumaus Independent Study Programme (Lisbon), and Renzo Martens with members of the Cercle d’Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise (CATPC).
