Transit is the title of a novel by Anna Seghers published in 1944. The novel captures her in-transit stay in Marseille under the German occupation during WWII, and contains word-images that speak to the experience of escape, exile, refusal and refuge. The reading of Segher’s Transit during a voyage d’études to Marseille (March 2018) provided a research tool to enter the city. Transit also portrays, allegorically speaking, the time dedicated to a Master program, in an art school, in Europe. The transit begins with “a magic paper, a new invitation”, or in other words: the admission, whereby students are granted a “limited-residence permit” for usually two years. A study program is therefore a transit of sorts, marked by the “beautiful struggle” (Ta-Nehisi Coates) to know more, differently, and to transform.
In order to accommodate the different natures of doing research in this study context and beyond, the curatorial approach proposes three layers to enter the exhibition: collective trajectories, individual research projects and a mobile cart.
TRANSIT coincides with the exhibition Nothing is something (to an observer) by Work.Master which will open at LiveInYourHead at the same time. Both exhibitions take place in the framework of the HEAD Genève Open Days 2019 at the Visual Arts Department.
"Endlessly from the Middle, Or, Toward curatorial/politics" reflects on situations of conflicts, ... more "Endlessly from the Middle, Or, Toward curatorial/politics" reflects on situations of conflicts, unease, and failures as conditions fostering what I propose as curatorial/politics. It departs from various transformative moments of “[k]nowing at the limits of justice [that] must start before, but facing the beyond of, representation,” as Denise Ferreira da Silva proposes to think with that this text aims to mobilize as a condition for curatorial/politics to crystallize into a practice of making public. The components from which such a condition might emerge could include confusion, double-boundedness, and implicatedness as well as inhibition, failure, conflict, problems, re-starts, and rehearsals. Yet, this seems the only possible way, at this moment, to generatively conceptualize the exhibition as a “problem-space,” as David Scott proposed, meaning to hold onto the acts of making public as a process of in the making, as Von Osten suggested, to break through the modernist split of the object-subject relation. Such an unsettling can neither lead to a conclusion, nor does it have a defined beginning or end; instead it endlessly departs from the middle as an open wound toward the end of the exhibition at the limits of justice.
