Free School for Art Theory and Practice launched by tranzit. hu

November 2006

3d seminar weekend

 

The Free School for Art Theory and Practice considers as the basis of its philosophy the concept that contemporary art and culture produce an excess of knowledge and experience, which can be recycled and used in broader social discourse, beyond their own primary context. The aim of the Free School is to increase the theoretical and practical arsenal of the local art scene based on active participation and dialogue in seminars, and also by analyzing artistic positions, critical aspects and the institutional system. With its name, the school marks community gatherings for people to meet with a view to exchange knowledge and learn from one another. 

The school will function in the form of regular weekend seminars, held by invited curators, theoreticians and artists, allowing for the specificities of the contemporary Hungarian art scene and local discourses.

Regarding 'Over-identification' - Tactics of critical irony in art since the 1960s and their relevance today

 

With the break with the modernist paradigm in art in the 1960s, many art practices employed ambivalent tactics of entering a critical dialogue with issues of politics, ideology and identity in different societies. The historical examples may range from American pop-art to dissident tactics in art of the socialist countries in Eastern Europe. Also, in contemporary art of today these tactics developed either in ironical maneuvering of the attitudes of artists towards the art system or in activist tactics of cultural jamming. The term "over-identification" has been introduced by Slavoj Zizek in his analysis of the phenomenon of Laibach and NSK in the early 1980s. This term is used only as a point of departure to discuss means of critical thinking of artists in the condition of liberal democracy which tend to incorporate almost every critical attitude in its "flawless" system. The seminar will be illustrated by historical and contemporary examples (equally from Western Europe as from art scenes in Turkey, countries of ex-Yugoslavia, Romania, Russia, etc) and students will be encouraged to critically re-think contemporary art practices they are already familiar with and to discuss their own tactics of  resisting certain political trends.

Is Modernity our Antiquity (or our Future)?

There has been a growing interest among contemporary artists into the world of modernity, its universalistic promise, its heroisms and catastrophes, in modernism as its cultural practice with its reduced but programmatic forms. There is a sense of nostalgia mixed with revivals of its radical potential. What is behind this interest? Is it a thorough conceptual switch of priorities in contemporary art? Is it just another post-modernist citation ground? Is it about contemporary disillusionments and not about history at all? Or is it again about the vision of future which was so essential for the dreams of modernity? Or is it simply the reaction to the general pessimism of new 'drained and tired generation' as the artist David Malkovic calls it? Is it about fascination with aesthetics or about political statements?

The aim of the seminar is take examples of some contemporary artists dealing in their work with the issue of modernity and modernism, and especially to juxtapose interest in modernity in ex-socialist countries of South-East and Central-Europe with those in Western-Europe. The seminar will provide an 'open box' for all participants to add their examples of contemporary readings of modernity and modernism.
