Die Aufteilung des Sinnlichen

Für jeden, der an aktuellen Diskursen interessiert ist, ist die Lektüre des Buches 'Die Aufteilung des Sinnlichen - Die Politik der Kunst und ihre Paradoxien' von Jacques Rancière unerlässlich. Der zuweilen doch schwierige Text entlohnt einen mit ungewohnten Sichten und Einsichten. Das schmale Buch ist im Original im Jahre 2000 erschienen und in deutscher Übersetzung in der Reihe POLYpeN bei b-books im Jahre 2006.
Warren Neidich bezieht sich auf diese Buch in seiner gelungenen Ausstellung, dessen schöne Einladungskarte wir hier oben abbilden. Grapheme sind ein lohnendes Thema. Die Relationen zwischen den Künstleren und Künstlerinnen sind mehr einer momentanen Eingebung zu verdanken als langwieriger Reflektion. Diese ist dem Beiprogramm vielleicht vorbehalten. Anbei das Programm (inklusive abgelaufenen Veranstaltungen):

Yudi Noor, "Ghost Rewind" Yudi Noor will perform a ritual inside people
breathing to reach a frequency of a trance. Time is turning in a circle and the "transitoriness" is what is being embraced. A mask, used as a prop, is the instrument for an invitation of
ghosts, residing in the space, to make themselves known. .

Praxis, "Dreams and Possibilities". Praxis presents a video work that was commissioned by The Whitney Museum for their recent solo show, in which viewers were invited to step into the "film" and performed their real life, sometimes intimate, experiences which in this new context form radical gestures in which the spectacle becomes de-spectacularized.
Praxis (Delia Bajo and Brainard Carey) is an internationally reknown art collaborative. Their work has been included in PS1 Greater New York, The Whitney Biennial, PS122, The Kitchen, The Reina Sofia Museum and numerous other venues.

Anna Prvacki, "Tent, quartet, bows and elbows" is a performance piece that allows

embodied. The visceral experience of music is captured and displayed.

Erik Smith, 'Perfect is My Death Word' 'Perfect is My Death Word' is a recreation of the James Lee Byars sound work of the same name. The original work was produced by Byars at the Neues Museum Weserberg. Bremen in 1995 and exists as an edition on cd of 20 minutes of silence after which he simply says the sentence 'perfect is my death word'. For his project he asked a few black metal bands to recreate this live by inserting the sentence into one of their original songs. For this performance a special guest band will create the work in the gallery.
Erik Smith is an artist who lives and works and Berlin. Recent exhibitions include In Practice Projects, Sculpture Center, LIC, New York, De Appel Center for Contemporary Art, and the Kapinos Gallery, Berlin.

?, "Hush Money",
"Hush Money" is a series of daring escapes: a complex web of kid-built dirt-tunnels, orphanage arson, snakes hidden in the grass of defensible space. And so, hand-to-mouth, we thrive on a darkling plain dotted with dying bastions of lightness and revel in the sentimentality of terror, the quiet time beside a morning, the authenticity of the pillage, the design of new hexes. We will disseminate sounds, of glaciers and dust.
? was founded as a hermetic tradition; across two continents they spin weathervanes of wet-woods ballads. Recent installations/performances include a three month tour of the U.S., and "Salad Days II" at Artists Space, New York.
