BADco. invites you to symposium and its accompanying artistic programme

*Art, Institutional 'Dead Labor' and Limits of Valorization*

09.-10.05.2014, Zagreb


Within this symposium and its accompanying artistic programme we intend to
problematize the shifting grounds of institutional evaluation and
valorization in the art. Selection procedures such as curatorial concepts,
institutional programmation, criticism, theory, funding priorities, project
assessment, interpersonal connections, political clout and so on affect
what is included and what remains outside the art system, but also how
artworks engage with the broader socio-economic context. They define the
types of work that are produced and that are not, the types of of work that
are presented and that are not. In turn they re-configure subjectivities
involved in the process of artistic production — i.e. roles and
self-understanding of artists, curators, spectators, audiences, funders,
etc.

However, the works that fall outside, escape and subvert these quantitative
and qualitative boundaries of assessment, sometimes succeed in
re-configuring the filtering mechanisms of valorization and sediment in the
institutional knowledge that is applied toward future valorization. This is
artistic ‘dead labor’ sedimenting in the circuitry of institutions. And
while this dialectical process has been a constant topos of institutional
critique, we want to focus on contemporary and ascendant forms of
valorization and subjective determinations that they reproduce – for
instance: project, practice, didactism, realism, etc. – and look at the
works that try to undercut their centripetal force.

The question of valuation and valorization we consider particularly urgent
as we are seeing – at least in our context – a confluence of several
tendencies: criticism increasingly loosing significance with the crisis of
print and broadcasting media, quantitative project assessment and audience
metrics rising in the growing expansion of project-based work, and direct
co-optation of cultural institutions by political appointments persisting
in the face of mounting pressure to commercialize due to budget cuts.

BADco. will perform its newest production in Ljubljana!

*A Pound of Hysteria, Acceleration...*
- melodrama -

12.05.2014 20:00 @ Stara elektrarna, Ljubljana, Slovenia

While discussing the disintegration of the Soviet Union in a 1989 televised
interview, Heiner Müller and Alexander Kluge return to Brecht's sentence
"Petroleum resists five acts". That sentence sums up the problem that faces
epic theater. How can dramatic material depict historical processes with
all their inner contradictions, progressions and setbacks that transcend
characters and their relationships? The same question - what dramatic
material is an adequate means of representation of the organizing
principles of today’s reality - is the speculative problem of "A Pound of
Hysteria, Acceleration..." BADco.'s new performance attempts to find the
answer in the historical dialogue of two artists, the playwright Heiner
Müller and the film director Alexander Kluge. At the end of the eighties
two artists speculate about politics and social upheaval, yet today that
speculation resounds as a document of our own present.

BADco. vas poziva na simpozij i popratni umjetnicki program

*Umjetnost, institucionalni “mrtvi rad” i granice vrednovanja*

09.-10.05.2014., Zagreb


U okviru ovog simpozija i njegovog popratnog umjetnickog programa
problematizirat cemo nestabilan teren institucionalne evaluacije i
valorizacije u polju umjetnosti. Postupci selekcije poput kustoskih
koncepcija, institucionalnih programa, kritike, teorije, prioriteta
financiranja, projektnih evaluacija, interpersonalnih sprega, politickog
utjecaja i tako dalje definiraju sto ce biti ukljuceno i sto ce ostati
izvan umjetnickog sustava, utjecuci pritom i na to kako ce sami radovi
reflektirati siri drustveno-ekonomski kontekst. Ti postupci postavljaju
granice koji tip umjetnickih radova ce se producirati a koji nece, koji ce
se predstavljati javnosti a koji nece. Kao sto i transformiraju subjekte
ukljucene u proces umjetnicke proizvodnje, tj. uloge i samorazumijevanje
umjetnika, kustosa, gledatelja, publika, financijera, itd.

Djela koja se nadju izvan ovih kriterija, koja isklizuju i subvertiraju te
kvantitativne i kvalitativne granice procjena, ponekad uspijevaju
transformirati filtere vredomanja i sedimantirati se u institucionalna
znanja koja ce se primjenjivati u kasnijim ciklusima valorizacije. Ovaj
'mrtvi rad' proizasao iz umjetnickog rada talozi se u sklopovima
institucija. I dok je ovaj dijalekticki proces subverzije i
institucionalnizacije stalan topos institucionalne kritike, mi se zelimo
usredotociti na suvremene i novonastajuce oblike valorizacije i
subjektivnih odredjenja koja oni reproduciraju - primjerice: projekt,
praksa, didakticnost, realizam, itd. - i sagledati radove koji se
pokusavaju istrgnuti njihovoj centripetalnoj sili.

Pitanje evaluacije i valorizacije smatramo osobito urgentnim jer svjedocimo
- barem u nasem kontekstu - podudaranju vise tendencija: kritika gubi
znacaj u krizi tiskanih i elektronskih medija, kvantitativno projektno
ocjenjivanje i vrednovanje kroz prizmu brojnosti publike dobivaju sve veci
znacaj, kulturne institucije bivaju izravno potcinjene politickim
imenovanjima te raste pritisak prema komercijalizaciji zbog rezova u javnom
financiranju kulture.

BADco. vas poziva na ljubljansku izvedbu nase najnovije predstave!

*Dodatak histerije, ubrzanja...*
- melodrama -

12.05.2014. 20:00 @ Stara elektrarna, Ljubljana, Slovenia

U televizijskom razgovoru iz 1989. o raspadu Sovjetskog Saveza Heiner
Müller i Alexander Kluge vracaju se na Brechtovu recenicu "Nafta se opire
petocinki". U toj recenici sazet je problem pred kojim se nalazi epski
teatar. Kako kroz dramski materijal prikazati historijske procese sa svim
njihovim unutarnjim kontradikcijama, napredovanjima i nazadovanjima koji
nadilaze likove i njihove medjusobne odnose? To isto pitanje - sto je
prikazivanju organizirajucih nacela danasnjice adekvatan dramski materijal
- problemski je ulog i predstave "Dodatak histerije, ubrzanja..."
