Well connected

KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin

What responsibility lies in culture? How does responsibility come into play in curatorial practice? Curatorial practice highlights the overlapping of the cultural field - especially art and society. Processes involving the compilation and linking of objects, information, people, and locations, or the expertise in intercultural exchange that have proven to be crucial for the realization of exhibitions are currently being integrated as 'core skills' into social, political, and economic fields, which are shaped by globalization and post-Fordism. In this context the question of responsibility becomes pivotal and furthermore concerns the production of meaning in the moment of presenting and communicating content, the framing gesture of invitation and selection, as well as the establishment of relationships between people and objects. However, what does responsibility mean? Which aspects have to be considered? And: how, why and for whom do we take on responsibility in the cultural field? Voicing Responsibility initiates, together with experts from different disciplines, an impulse for the central question of taking on responsibility in the framework of curatorial processes. On the evening of July 20, 2012, the invited guests and the audience will exchange voices, perspectives, and ideas in the form of table conversations with statements, discussions, and artistic contributions. A communal breakfast with the contributors will elaborate on the topics of the evening and invites to participate in a resuming further discussion. With contributions of/by Ulrich Bernard, Beatrice von Bismarck, Ellen Blumenstein & Daniel Tyradellis, Breakfast (a.k.a. Dinner) Exchange Berlin, Andreas Liebmann, Juliana Piquero, Manuel Scheidegger, Ruth Sonderegger, Joanna Warsza, Agustina Woodgate and further guests. Organised by the project Well Connected, Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig in cooperation with KW.
