* Focus // Ecologies of Instituting
Participants: Gigi Argyropoulou (Οχτώ/Eight – Critical institute for arts and politics), Olga Schubert (Haus der Kulturen der Welt, "From Now" Curatorial Office), Bernd Scherer (Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology)
Book Presentation and Discussion at SAFI FAYE STAGE (HKW)
Following the example of an Italian network of farmers called "Genuino Clandestino" (Genuine Clandestine in English), Andrea Ghelfi in his essay for the volume "Instituting: Space-making, Refusal, and Organizing in the Arts and Beyond" argues that agroecology can be understood as a movement that is trying to redefine the political, economic, and juridical space of action of organic food producers.
It is this ecology of instituting practices that many of the contributions in the new volume by Archive Books address when they reflect on the interconnectedness and everyday coexistence of the spheres of economic and artistic or cultural production. How do we as artists, cultural workers, organizers and publishers institute ecologies that are based on practices of withdrawal and fugitivity from institutions, but at the same time create supportive, long-lasting, caring and ecological infrastructures?
