Where am I? What am i doing? What is my relationship to history? What is my relationship to the world today? To the natural world, to the media, to society, to capitalism and to biodiversity? What are my responsibilities, if i have any, as an artist? Do I want to participate? What do I hope to achieve by participating? What about my well being? What is truly me and what is just a reaction to my brokenness? Is that a useful distinction? Am I being self-loathing, or am I just being Honest? How are my financial goals affecting my dreams and my behavior? What is my relationship to capitalism? What is my relationship to ecocide? What is my relationship to violence against women? What are the parameters of my sphere Of influence? If I choose to be an artist, what do i imagine my job to be?

Raimer Jochims: Das Künstlerego und die innere Arbeit
Vortrag
Raimer Jochims: Das Künstlerego und die innere Arbeit
Mittwoch, 2. Dezember 2015, 19 Uhr, Aula
Raimer Jochims (*1935 in Kiel) ist ein deutscher Maler, Philosoph und Kunstwissenschaftler. Jochims studierte Philosophie, Kunstgeschichte und Archäologie in München und promovierte 1968 über Konrad Fiedler. Er hatte seit 1967 Lehrtätigkeiten an der Kunstakademie Karlsruhe und der Kunstakademie München inne. Von 1971 bis 1997 war er Direktor und Professor für Freie Malerei und Kunsttheorie an der Städelschule.
Seit den 1970er Jahren hat Raimer Jochims seine künstlerische Arbeit in viel diskutierten Veröffentlichungen begleitet. So entwickelten sich sein gestalterisches und schriftstellerisches Werk parallel, doch unabhängig voneinander. Statt Texte zu bebildern oder aber umgekehrt seine Malerei lediglich zu kommentieren, stellen beide Bereiche gleichwertige Methoden der Untersuchung gesellschaftlicher Prozesse dar. Jochims kunstgeschichtliche Reflexionen beleuchten zudem die Gesetzmäßigkeiten des Zusammenhangs von Farbe und Form, deren optimale Übereinstimmung er in seinem Konzept der ‘visuellen Identität’ zusammenfasst.
Die Wirkungen der Farbe – aktiv/passiv, extrovertiert/introvertiert, ausdehnend/zusammenziehend, dauerhaft/flüchtig, schwer/leicht – verlangen nach entsprechend geformten Flächen, um ihre Eigenschaften voll zu entfalten. Um die Farbtendenzen nicht durch das rechtwinklige Format zu behindern, das sich der einstigen Abbildfunktion des Bildes als vorgestelltes Fenster in der Wand verdankt, verwendet Jochims organisch geformtes Material – sei es gerissenes Papier, Naturstein oder handgeformte Spanplatten.

Vortrag Curatorial Studies
Jens Hoffmann: How to do things with Museums: Institutional Histories and Museum Collections
Mittwoch, 9. Dezember 2015, 19 Uhr, Aula
Over the last decades, exhibitions have become vehicles for intellectual, cultural and socio-political expression. Yet, only a few have managed to successfully achieve a particular critical insight into societal concerns in regards to contemporary life and culture. In his presentation, Hoffmann will talk about his recent most recent exhibitions at the Jewish Museum in New York involving institutional histories "Other Primary Structures"
(2014) and the museum collection "Repetition and Difference" (2015).
Hoffmann will examine the relationship between history, art and exhibition making and show how history can provide a frame to understand the today´s political realities by looking at the past.
Jens Hoffmann is a writer and exhibition maker. He currently is Deputy Director of the Jewish Museum, New York. Since 2013 he is Senior Curator at large at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and was the Director of the Wattis Institute of Contemporary Art, San Francisco (2008-13) as well as Director of Exhibitions and Chief Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2003-7).

Vortrag
Jonas Mekas & Douglas Gordon
Dienstag, 24. November 2015, 17 Uhr, Aula
Jonas Mekas in conversation with the artist Douglas Gordon who takes Mekas' Diaries "I Had Nowhere to Go" as the starting point for a new work.
Jonas Mekas (*1922) is a legendary filmmaker, author, poet and co-founder of the Anthology Film Archives in New York. Mekas was born in Lithuania, he came to Brooklyn via Germany in 1949 and began shooting his first films there. Mekas developed a form of film diary in which he recorded moments of his daily life. He became the barometer of the New York art scene and a pioneer of American avant-garde cinema. Every week, starting in 1958, he published his legendary “Movie Journal” column in The Village Voice, writing on a range of subjects that were by no means restricted to the world of film. He conducted numerous interviews with artists like Andy Warhol, Susan Sontag, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Erick Hawkins, and Nam June Paik.
Douglas Gordon’s practice encompasses video and film, installation, sculpture, photography, and text. Through his work, Gordon investigates human conditions like memory and the passage of time, as well as universal dualities such as life and death, good and evil, right and wrong.
Gordon’s oeuvre has been exhibited globally and his film works have been presented at many competitions, including the Festival de Cannes, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the International Venice Film Festival,. Gordon received the 1996 Turner Prize, the Premio 2000 prize for best young artist at the 1997 Venice Biennale, and the 1998 Hugo Boss Prize. Most recently, in May 2008 he was awarded the Roswitha Haftmann Prize by the Kunsthaus Zurich and, in the same year, the Käthe-Kollwitz Prize from the Akademie der Künste, Berlin. Gordon was the International Juror at the 65th International Venice Film Festival, and in 2012 he was the Jury president of CinemaXXI at the 7th International Rome Film Festival.
Born in Scotland, Gordon lives and works in Berlin and Glasgow and teaches film at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. He is represented internationally by Gagosian Gallery, as well as Until then in Paris, Galerie Eva Presenhuber in Zürich, and Dvir Gallery in Tel Aviv.

Nicolaus Schafhausen: On Democracy and Biennales
Vortrag Curatorial Studies
Nicolaus Schafhausen: On Democray and Biennales
Dienstag, 19. Januar 2016, 19 Uhr, Aula
What does the formation of a Biennale really mean? How can the function of a Biennale act to bridge the historical past with ideas for the future? Nicolaus Schafhausen will discuss his recent curatorial project The 6th Moscow Biennale 2015.
How do international art events transgress the boundaries of art and into the field of politics and international relations? Biennales connect nation states and cultures of the world. The Bienniale should be a public space for art, in other words, a space where art and thinking may resonate, propelled by their initial momentum, but pushing beyond this. If there is anything specific about the Bienniale, it is in the fact that it is bluntly radical, in the original sense of the word; it wants to go back to the roots of what we all continuously aim for, at least in principle. It is a space that is not defined by its apparatus, its architecture, its titles and the themes and rhetorics surrounding it. It is a space that comes into existence continuously, in a multitude of moments that we may grasp or fail to grasp, in any of the gestures and thoughts that are unfolding like a dance, weaving potential into shreds of possibility.
Nicolaus Schafhausen is a curator, director, author, and educator. He is Director of Kunsthalle Wien and a Visiting Lecturer at HISK, Higher Institute for Fine Arts, Gent. He is currently on the Board of Directors at Fogo Island Arts, where he has served as Strategic Advisor since 2011. Fogo Island Arts is an initiative of the Canadian Shorefast Foundation to find alternative solutions for the revitalisation of an area that is prone to emigration. Schafhausen has curated a number of international festivals and exhibitions such as “Media City Seoul” 2010 or the “Dutch House” for the Expo 2010 in Shanghai. In 2007 and 2009 he was the curator of the German Pavilion for the 52nd and 53rd Venice Biennale, and for the 56th Venice Biennale he curated the Kosovo Pavilion in 2015.

Freitag, 4. Dezember 2015, 21 Uhr, Mousonturm Frankfurt
A multimedia performance portrayal the album of the same name, produced by L. GRAY for HALATERN, etc. Through IT’S HOUSE, Thayer + Gray collaboratively unpack shifting + subjective palaces of memory, revisiting places real + imagined, to transform the idea of set duration in pursuit of an as yet unrealized EVACUATION MUSIC.
“Working in animation, installation, and music, TOM THAYER employs a ‘naïve’ look to provide access to a variety of experiences often marginalized by art: adolescent obsessions, visionary mythologies, and private fantasies that delve deep into the unsettled recesses of gesture and mimetic storytelling… As an educator, Thayer is interested in theories of collaborative pedagogy, including the musical experimentation developed in England around Cornelius Cardew and his Scratch Orchestra, a compositional project conducted entirely by untrained, amateur participants. In Thayer’s own collaborative workshops, theatrical scenarios—including shadow puppetry and sound collage—are intended to ignite what he calls the “creative power of collective action.” His longstanding interest in psychedelia, seen from this perspective, takes on new significance: the psychedelic, before it was consigned to a period style, aimed for a new form of sociability
based on unmediated sensory communication. Through his work, Thayerrevives its potential.

Syrischer Abend
Donnerstag, 12. November 2015, ab 17:30 Uhr
Filmvorführung in Anwesenheit des Regisseurs Ossama Mohammed
MA’AL AL-FIDDA Silvered Water – Syria Self Portrait
17:30 Uhr, Filmmuseum, Schaumainkai 41, 60596 Frankfurt am Main
Der syrische Filmemacher Ossama Mohammed lebt seit 2011 im Pariser Exil, doch die Bilder aus seiner Heimat, gefilmt von Aktivisten, lassen ihn nicht los. Als ihn die junge kurdische Regisseurin Wiam Simav Bedirxan aus Homs kontaktiert, die die Bombenangriffe auf die Stadt dokumentiert hat, beginnt ein Austausch der beiden Filmemacher. Entstanden ist ein so aufwühlender wie wahrhaftiger Film, der in einem Mosaik aus Youtube-Videos und Dokumentaraufnahmen einen Dialog in Bildern entwirft. Der ergreifende Monolog über das Exil lädt zum Nachdenken über die Kraft der Bilder ein.
Frankreich/Syrien 2014. R: Ossama Mohammed, Wiam Simav Bedirxan.
Dokumentarfilm. 92 Min., DCP OmeU englische Untertitel
Wir bitten um Ticketreservierung: http://deutsches-filminstitut.de/blog/lets-talk-about-syria/
Künstlergespräch: # Lets_talk_about_Syria
Elias Perabo, Ossama Mohammed, Khaled Barakeh u.a.
ca. 19:15 Uhr, Aula Städelschule
In conjunction with Film Museum and Städelschule, Khaled Barakeh will moderate a dialogue on the current situation in Syria.
Elias Perabo is a political scientist. He was traveling through Syria in April 2011 when the Syrian Spring erupted. He saw with his own eyes how the land changed from one day to the next, as the people lost their fear and began to go out on the street. At first he worked on the establishment of international media relations for Syrian activists, later he developed a broad network of contacts and co-founded Adopt a Revolution.
The Adopt a Revolution project was launched by Syrian and German activists in 2011 in the face of the brutal persecution of the peaceful uprising against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. The project has the following four objectives: Financial Support, Build a Bridge of Solidarity, Knowledge Transfer and Civil Intervention. Its an initiative that allows individuals and civil society groups outside of Syria to "adopt" a Syrian activist group of their choice and help it to survive and succeed in the uprising.
Born in Latakia in 1954, Ossama Mohammed graduated from the Russian State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in 1979. His first fiction feature 'Stars in Broad Daylight - 1988' was selected at the Cannes Film Festival, and earned the filmmaker great critical praise, including the Golden palm at the Valencia Festival. Complex and visually stunning, his second feature film 'Sacrifices - 2002' has confirmed its maker as one of the Soviet film school's graduates most individual and masterful filmmakers. Ossama Mohammed won lots of international film festivals' prizes around the world.
After 2011 in the forced exile in Paris, Ossama Mohammed began a new cinematic adventure, Silvered Water - Syria Self- Portrait' Shot by a reported '1,001 Syrians', the film impressionistically documents the destruction and atrocities of the civil war through a combination of eye-witness accounts shot on mobile phones and posted to the internet, and footage shot by Bedirxan during the siege of Homs.

Filmvorführung in Anwesenheit des Regisseurs Ossama Mohammed
MA’AL AL-FIDDA Silvered Water – Syria Self Portrait
17:30 Uhr, Filmmuseum, Schaumainkai 41, 60596 Frankfurt am Main
Der syrische Filmemacher Ossama Mohammed lebt seit 2011 im Pariser Exil, doch die Bilder aus seiner Heimat, gefilmt von Aktivisten, lassen ihn nicht los. Als ihn die junge kurdische Regisseurin Wiam Simav Bedirxan aus Homs kontaktiert, die die Bombenangriffe auf die Stadt dokumentiert hat, beginnt ein Austausch der beiden Filmemacher. Entstanden ist ein so aufwühlender wie wahrhaftiger Film, der in einem Mosaik aus Youtube-Videos und Dokumentaraufnahmen einen Dialog in Bildern entwirft. Der ergreifende Monolog über das Exil lädt zum Nachdenken über die Kraft der Bilder ein.
Frankreich/Syrien 2014. R: Ossama Mohammed, Wiam Simav Bedirxan.

Elias Perabo, Ossama Mohammed, Khaled Barakeh u.a.
ca. 19:15 Uhr, Aula Städelschule
In conjunction with Film Museum and Städelschule, Khaled Barakeh will moderate a dialogue on the current situation in Syria.
Elias Perabo is a political scientist. He was traveling through Syria in April 2011 when the Syrian Spring erupted. He saw with his own eyes how the land changed from one day to the next, as the people lost their fear and began to go out on the street. At first he worked on the establishment of international media relations for Syrian activists, later he developed a broad network of contacts and co-founded Adopt a Revolution.
The Adopt a Revolution project was launched by Syrian and German activists in 2011 in the face of the brutal persecution of the peaceful uprising against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. The project has the following four objectives: Financial Support, Build a Bridge of Solidarity, Knowledge Transfer and Civil Intervention. Its an initiative that allows individuals and civil society groups outside of Syria to "adopt" a Syrian activist group of their choice and help it to survive and succeed in the uprising.
Born in Latakia in 1954, Ossama Mohammed graduated from the Russian State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in 1979. His first fiction feature 'Stars in Broad Daylight - 1988' was selected at the Cannes Film Festival, and earned the filmmaker great critical praise, including the Golden palm at the Valencia Festival. Complex and visually stunning, his second feature film 'Sacrifices - 2002' has confirmed its maker as one of the Soviet film school's graduates most individual and masterful filmmakers. Ossama Mohammed won lots of international film festivals' prizes around the world.
After 2011 in the forced exile in Paris, Ossama Mohammed began a new cinematic adventure, Silvered Water - Syria Self- Portrait' Shot by a reported '1,001 Syrians', the film impressionistically documents the destruction and atrocities of the civil war through a combination of eye-witness accounts shot on mobile phones and posted to the internet, and footage shot by Bedirxan during the siege of Homs. Bedirxan, an elementary school teacher in Homs, had contacted Mohammed online to ask him what he would film if he was there. Mohammed, working in forced exile in Paris, is tormented by feelings of cowardice as he witnesses the horrors from afar, and the self-reflexive film also chronicles how he is haunted in this dreams by a Syrian boy once shot to death for snatching his camera on the street.

Dana Whabira
Vortrag Curatorial Studies
Dana Whabira: Art, Publics & the Urban Imaginary
Dienstag, 17 November 2015, 19 Uhr, Aula
The talk focuses on the mediation of public space through curatorial practice and artistic intervention. In 2013 Dana Whabira founded the independent art space Njelele Art Station in Harare/Zimbabwe, a meeting place for critical dialogue where ideas are birthed and resonate out into the city through projects that provoke discussion and engage with the general public.
Dana Whabira (born in 1976 in London, grown up in Harare/Zimbabwe, where she lives and works) is a trained architect and studied art and design at Central Saint Martin’s College in London. Njelele Art Station recently participated in the Symposium D’Art Mali by Médina Mediatheque, part of the Rencontres de Bamako 2015 OFF program.
Dana Whabira is the current grant-holder of KfW Stiftung’s program 'Curators in Residence: Curating Connections’ in collaboration with the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program. The program provides emerging curators from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia with the opportunity to spend several months in Berlin. Besides encouraging research and critical reflection, it facilitates encounters between those working in arts and culture. The residency program seeks to stimulate intercultural dialogue in curatorial practice.
