Session One: The Tired Frame
Over the last forty years, non-narrative film has been the benchmark of a new kind of subjectivity. Since its origin, film is one of the few fields in which the linear narrative has always been contested. Filmmakers as well as artists have examined the experimental potentiality of the moving image through various formats, in museums, theaters, cinema, and the Internet. Why does the prevailing model for experimental film continue to be rooted in a discourse of narrative or modernist European cinema? At this juncture, are other paths possible-not only other nationalities, other histories-but other modalities of thinking that move beyond this tired frame?

16:35-17:45

Session Two: Make Your Own History: Histories of Self-Institutionalization
Through their own organizational initiatives, women artists and filmmakers (collectives, journals, festivals) achieved prominence throughout the 1970s and 1980s as educators, activists, writers, and thinkers. Having created important peer networks and organizations, many self-sustaining, what is the legacy of such alternative independent networks of circulation? How are such multidisciplinary projects received historically? What relationship do they have to aesthetic practice?

18.40-19.40

Session One: Is the Political Still Personal?
During the 1970s, women artists examined the private dimensions of their lives in their artmaking practices, using narrative, appropriation, and irony to critique both universal and specific instances of exclusion in society. In film and video, such practices have become permanently associated with a political agenda, employing these aesthetic strategies to examine other forms of social or cultural repression. In an era when amateurs can become sophisticated cultural producers through new technologies, contemporary artists have had to alter their strategies accordingly, embracing distancing techniques such as those found in ethnographic practices.
What do artists mean when they say their work is 'political'?

18:00-19:40

Session One: Gendered Spaces. 10.00-11.20
Genealogies of power and control have never been gender-neutral. In viewing spaces as socially constructed, exploring the ways artists have shifted cultural production reveals a complex picture of the politics of embodiment and selfhood.

Vent'anni di UnDo.Net, un'opera d'arte ideata da artisti che hanno coinvolto centinaia di altri autori e operatori nella costruzione di un ecosistema, di un dispositivo che ha influito a più livelli sul fare arte.
UnDo.Net è un dispositivo di creazione di valore immateriale; pensato come "ecosistema" della cultura contemporanea, come modello partecipativo che sviluppi la condivisione di ricerche, risorse e conoscenze, la collaborazione e lo scambio.
In questi 20 anni UnDo.Net ha perseguito il suo scopo: inventare un nuovo spazio, che prima non esisteva, di sperimentazione e di ricerca, di confronto e di dialogo.


Oggi

I risultati di questo lavoro collettivo sono riuniti nelle migliaia di pagine online che raccolgono la storia di tutti noi che ci occupiamo d'arte. UnDo.Net è oggi un archivio vivo e vibrante dal profilo internazionale che contiene e collega tra loro approfondimenti e documenti su autori, eventi, situazioni, ricerche e pensiero. Un patrimonio di risorse per studiare, comprendere e per sviluppare nuovi progetti.
Anche in futuro UnDo.Net rimarra' consultabile e a disposizione di tutti gratuitamente.


Domani

Le differenti personalita' che costituiscono il team di UnDo.Net svilupperanno le proprie diverse professionalita'.
