Forschungsprojekt „Verzeichnungen“
Forschungszeitaum:
1. August 2012 - 31. August 2014

Das Projekt „re.act.feminism #2 - a performing archive“ wird von einem Forschungsvorhaben begleitet, das sich der Untersuchung zeitgenössischer Archivpraktiken im Feld der Darstellenden Kunst widmet. Angesiedelt an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater „Mendelsohn Bartholdy“ in Leipzig sowie der Universität der Künste Berlin und gefördert durch die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, sollen im Rahmen des Vorhabens „Verzeichnungen. Medien und konstitutive Ordnungen von Archivprozessen der Aufführungskünste“ die Vorarbeiten, der Verlauf und die Disseminationen von „re.act feminism #2“ analysiert und in den größeren Forschungszusammenhang zu Fragen nach der Archivierbarkeit sowie den sozialen und konzeptionellen Bedingungen von Dokumenten und Quellen von Performance eingefaßt werden. Forschungszeitaum: 1. August 2012 - 31. August 2014

Gerade die Historizität von Performancekunst wirft derzeit zahlreiche und grundlegende Fragen auf, z. B. nach dem Zugang zur Geschichte dieser Kunstformen für nachfolgende Generationen, aber auch nach dem Charakter der Artefakte und dem ontologischen Status der Aufführung im Wechselspiel aus relationaler Bedingtheit und schöpferischem, medien-spezifischen Eigenwillen der je generierten Formen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage von Bewegung als Medium der Bewahrung und zugleich zu bewahrendes Medium und deren komplexes Gefüge aus Körperlichkeit, Objektstatus, Dokument und Zeugenschaft.

Galerija Miroslav Kraljević
Zagreb, Croatia


On Saturday, 5 May 2012 at 7 pm, the Galerija Miroslav Kraljević and cross links e.V. cordially invite you to the opening of re.act.feminism #2 – a performing archive in Zagreb, Croatia!

The presentation of the archive in Zagreb will be accompanied by discursive programmes that foreground and incite local research on the history of performance. In the last few years, this has become an increasingly discussed topic, accompanied by noticeable attention in curatorial, artistic and publishing projects on both the history of performance and curating performance.

Discussions and the workshops will serve as a base for introducing new additions to the re.act.feminism archive, therefore encouraging a collaborative process of curating and questioning the archive.

The Galerija Miroslav Kraljević (G-MK) is an independent and non-profit contemporary art platform and gallery, dedicated to artistic and intellectual practices that question various phenomena of contemporary culture and society, especially those looking into the relation between politics and aesthetics.
