The Curatorial: A Philosophy of Curating (ed. Jean-Paul Martinon, Bloomsbury 2013) is an outcome of the PhD program Curatorial/Knowledge at Goldsmiths, University of London. It introduces the notion of ‘the curatorial’ (as distinct from ‘curating’ as a set of professional practices) and explores this notion as an event of knowledge which encourages other ways of thinking and sensing the world irreducible to the stage of the exhibition. The book includes contributions by tutors, participants and guests speakers of Curatorial/Knowledge and will be presented by the head of the program as well as its first two PhD graduates.

zweikommasieben ist ein Print-Magazin aus Luzern, das sich seit dem Sommer 2011 die Dokumentation der zeitgenössischen Klubkultur zur Aufgabe gemacht hat. Dabei werden Künstler interviewt, Essays und Kolumnen geschrieben, sowie Fotografien, Illustrationen und Grafiken kreiert. Zudem veranstaltet zweikommasieben regelmässig in verschiedenen Städten Konzerte, Partys, Klubnächte, Matineen, Raves und andere Formate. Unter anderem die Vor Der Hour. Im Rahmen dieser Veranstaltungsreihe werden jeweils die neuen Ausgaben des zweikommasieben Magazins vorgestellt. Diese Veranstaltungen finden in (Off)Locations verschiedener Städten statt. Einziger Fixpunkt der Reihe ist die Durchführungszeit: Dem Namen entsprechend wird jeweils bereits in den Nachmittagsstunden gestartet. Um zweikommasieben #9 zu feiern wir das erste Mal eine Vor der Hour in Zürich durchgeführt – im Museum Bärengasse, mit kühlem Bier, feinen Crêpes und Loads of good Music.

Hello everyone, I know most of you are busy reading and writing right now, and stressing out about the end of the semester... But as the semester will probably end in a blink and a blur, and since a couple of us have been exchanging links recently by email, I thought I'd compile them here, and add a few of my own... @

Dear All, I hope you are doing fine! Most of those who came to Milan met Martina Angelotti at Careof, with whom we had a very interesting conversation. This week-end Careof is taking part in the videoex festival in Zurich with a screening on Friday at 10pm and a video jukebox where you can browse the large video collection of the archive. Martina will be in Zurich from Friday till Sunday, so for those interested in the screening or in the jukebox you find below details of the program. All the best, Silvia

Land of Plenty – or when plastic plants shed their leaves, birds of prey fish in murky waters and butterflies transform to nothing.

“Our main topics deal with the ambivalent relation between civilisation and nature. This means we take on topical and social questions; hopes, fears, faith and the failure of humanity and thus they become the central subject. We get the inspiration for our works from activities of humanity which can partly come in absurd shapes and forms.” – huber.huber

We would like to invite you to participate in a series of open format talks and discussions in Zurich. The discussions are organised by Nkule Mabaso and are part of Curating Your Context, an exhibition- and urban-research project taking place at Museum Bärengasse/ Gasthaus zum Bären, Bärengasse 22, 8001 Zürich.

The premises of Museum Bärengasse will be used as a platform for discussion and exhibition rooms, as well as curatorial studios. With different activities, formats and a series of interdisciplinary co-operations, Curating Your Context will create a room in the middle of the financial district that is at the same inviting and experimental, and that offers an opportunity to present new formats of exhibition and communication. 

Additionally Curating your Context sees a central task in the initiation of context related working: What is the context? How is it approached it? What does it mean to work with relationships with a context? How are communities integrated and where, and in what way is this revealed in the work.

Opening of Film Screening and Public Talk:  On Friday, May 23 2014  At 6:00pm.

Jyoti Mistry: Narrative, Memory and Site

Le Boeuf Sur Le Toit,experimental-feature film that has four installation components developed out of the linear film:

“Building an Invisible City” is an ambitious 24 channel synchronous audio video installation that re-contextualizes the images to create a series of multiple narratives simultaneously.

“Clean Clothes” (3channelwithsound,4mins)

“A Day on the Johannesburg Beach” (3 channel with sound, 3 mins)

“Commuting” is a perpendicular projection that collapses spatiality of four cities into a single amorphous act of traveling and the architectural pre-occupation of “circulation.”

Application deadline: May 15, 2014

The incumbent will work with the Freer|Sackler curator of Islamic art and other staff as necessary and participate in the museums’ activities as requested. Fellowship duties will include exhibition-related work with the relevant collection, carried out in consultation and collaboration with Freer|Sackler staff.

Artists: Christina Bredahl Duelund / Henrik Capetillo / Katja Bjørn / Niels Pugholm / Natascha Thiara Rydvald /  Søren Thilo Funder Curators: Mette Skov / Nkule Mabaso This edition of the Walk in Cinema shows a selection of short films and video works by young and emergent Danish artists. Through these films ordinary moments gain their poignancy and some internalized dialogues are projected back to us, the viewers. We desire to capture the fleeting minutes that make up or lives; to slow down time in some part, alternatively we fight against permanence. We destroy the images we have captured so that we can be free from them, erase their occurrence. Life for all the significance we weave into it; is futile and the interchange of this futility is captured in this selection of works that delves into the context and framework of the inner life and mind, the films engage our own consciousness; the cracks left by repressed desire, unfulfilled potential; these films do not offer an escape, but lodge one fully into a communal neurosis.
