Fri, October 12, 2012 Amsterdam, Netherlands Map: |  Curated by Beatriz Preciado and Timi Stüttgen. This international project is thought of both as an archive of postporn practices and as a place for experimentation and production of new strategies and language. As Preciado says, "I took the idea for the post porn “parliament” from Bruno Latour “the Parliament of things”, an ecological notion that tries to locate non-human beings but also the Earth within the democratic contract. I wanted to transform the traditional exhibition space into a Parliament, disrupting both the gallery space, but also the political des-sexualized and des-incorporated space....let's really make it into an eco-sexual event! |

Moderated by Tanya Augsburg. This session is organized on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Women's Caucus for Art. Five paired dialogues will offer a sampling of contemporary models for innovative artistic engagement. collegeart.org Session AbstractThis session is organized on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Women's Caucus for Art to explore the trajectory of engaged activism within the women's art movement from its origins in the sixties and seventies to twenty-first century initiatives. Postmodern, heterogeneous, and extremely diverse: the women's art movement consists of a multiplicity of art professionals who form partnerships, collaborations, collectives, networks, and alternative learning spaces—often with the aid of new technologies.
Following an Open Forum format, five paired dialogues following session co-chair Tanya Augsburg's introduction will offer a sampling of contemporary models for innovative artistic engagement that have been inspired and informed by feminist perspectives. Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens will discuss their ongoing artist couple partnership in making ecosexual art while raising awareness for marriage equality. The second dialogue will examine global/transnational collaborations with artists Karen Frostig of Lesley University and Yueh-mei Cheng of Finlandia University. During the third dialogue Judy Baca, Founder and Artistic Director of Social and Public Art Resources Center (SPARC), and Cathy Salser, Founder and Executive Director of A Window Between Worlds (AWBW), will reflect upon their experiences leading arts organizations in which engagement with specific communities is an integral part of their personal artistic process. The fourth dialogue will spotlight emergent forms of institutional critique and alternative educational spaces with Jenny Yoo from DIY Graduate School and Dena Muller, Executive Director of ArtTable. Issues of image and identity in both popular media and interactive digital media will be probed during the fifth dialogue with Carol Wells, art historian and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG), and Lisa Brenneis, independent artist. Co-Chair Deborah Thomas will provide concluding remarks as discussant. The session will include a participatory dimension that will offer numerous ways to engage the audience including a Q/A period and an online forum where the dialogues can continue after the session. |
