Experiments with (dis)order
A series of hybrid travel-workshops on idiosyncratic bureaucratic procedures and the handling of bodies (backgrounds, techniques, administration).

Experts report from the shadow areas of their everyday practice. They give insights into personal strategies of dealing with (dis)order in private and in everyday work life, which usually remain unmentioned.

Lessingstraße 1

The Max Pechstein Honorary Award of the City of Zwickau 2023 goes to the artist Doris Ziegler, who was born in Weimar and works in Leipzig. She is one of the most important artists of the Leipzig School - and yet the painter is still known only to a smaller audience.

The motif of the boat is at the center of the first major retrospective of the painter Doris Ziegler. In her work it appears as an existential symbol for a permanent transition with an uncertain destination. One of the highlights of the exhibition, along with other important groups of works, is the "Passages" cycle (1988-1994), which is being shown almost in its entirety for the first time.

Venue:

A hybrid panel discussion hosted by Cultures of the Curatorial (HGB Leipzig) in cooperation with the MA Program Curating and Art History (American University of Beirut) and Staatliche Ethnographische Sammlungen Sachsen, Museum für Völkerkunde Dresden

Angry art? Furious exhibitions? The structures, mindsets and consequences of current Orientalism(s) evoke different kinds of emotions especially in people who are directly and continuously exposed to Orientalism(s). One of them is Wut/غضب/fury. Whereas the “furious Oriental male” still is a central and negative trope of Orientalism(s), Wut/غضب/fury might also be a fruitful and thriving force to defy exactly these Orientalism(s) by deconstructing them, emancipating ourselves from them and crafting new narratives.

Together with our guests Cihan Çakmak, Mina Jawad and Ozan Zakariya Keskinkılıç, our moderator Beatrice von Bismarck will discuss these and other thoughts and questions. We will explore ways of dealing with still existent orientalizing structures surrounding us in the arts, in museum collections as well as in broader political, social and cultural spheres. You are cordially invited to be part of this exploration!

We kindly ask you to register for participation (online as well as on-site) via the following email address: kdk@hgb-leipzig.de until 3 October 2023. Thank you!

The event will be held in English.

In her work, she traces questions of identity, emancipation and self-determination.

What images represent processes in a museum? What does scientific practice look like before the opening of an exhibition? How does research practice become visible in the museum world? The exhibition "We show what we (don't) know - images as research" explores these questions as the result of a year-long cooperation with artists from the expanded cinema class at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts (HGB) in exchange with researchers from the Dresden State Art Collections (SKD). In the process, they record what is invisible at first glance and disappears behind the works.

Over the course of a year, various research workshops at the SKD opened their doors to the students in order to unravel stories on and from objects, to develop their own critical research approaches, to observe working methods, and to speculatively rethink object bodies. In the form of visual research in dialogue with scholarly work, objects, conversation notes, and encounters are illuminated from different perspectives in this regard.

Constellations between X-ray machines and restorers, objects and illuminators, stories of origin, paintings, sounds and examining hands come into focus. Film and photography are the primary media used for the analytical observation of research activities at the SKD, which otherwise recede behind museum glass.

Through visualizations of often invisible workspaces, the artistic works expand the understanding of museums as places of multiple knowledge processes and self-reflection. They capture visualities of thinking, examining, sorting, describing, discarding, combining, remembering, and insisting, and cast a backward glance at the institution and how it deals with its own history.

A cooperation between the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, class expanded cinema, by Clemens von Wedemeyer and Mareike Bernien, with the research department at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.

Curated by Anna-Lisa Reith, Research SKD.

Lois Weinberger (* 1947 in Stams, Tyrol, † 2020 Vienna) counts as a visionary and pioneer of an artistic practice and ecology that incorporates plants and visualizes living processes. On September 21, the Kunsthaus Dresden will open the first retrospective in Germany of the work of the Austrian artist Lois Weinberger, who died in Vienna in the spring of 2020, with the exhibition „Relatives.“

Based on an archive that the artist compiled with his partner Franziska Weinberger and which will be presented in its entirety for the first time in Dresden, the exhibition “Relatives” provides crucial insights into the artistic work of Lois Weinberger.

Venue:
Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig
Wächterstraße 11

The multi-part workshop REMOTE WORDS provided a deeper insight before and behind the scenes (making of) of the interdisciplinary long-term project at the interface of art, literature, design, internet culture and navigation technologies. In cooperation with institutions from the field of art and culture, suitable messages were found that will be permanently installed on the respective roofs. The capital letters applied with paint form semantic units with the respective location and surroundings. After a certain time, they become visible by means of satellite photography and the view from space and are disseminated worldwide via virtual globes such as Google Earth or Bing Maps. In the course of the winter semester 2022/23, a collaborative process was conducted to find suitable words that are able to represent the identity of the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst also over a longer period of time via the view from space. The collaborative conceptualization and decision-making, the application process, and the collaborative implementation are an essential part of the project and are now being implemented by the class.

The workshop was part of the public event series EXPANDED SUSTAINABILITY of the class Artistic Action and Research of Prof. Christin Lahr with guests in the winter semester 2022/23.
