To support the practice of preservation and mediation of video works in the LIMA Collection (Amsterdam), the authors explore the possibilities of reinterpretation as a rather common practice in the performing arts. As a choreographer and a dramaturge, they establish a correlation between reinterpretation and dramaturgy - as a way to deal with non-objective or transitory aspects of the works - and describe their method in relation to the video and performance artist Nan Hoover.
UNFOLD : the strategic importance of reinterpretation for media art mediation and conservation
(2022)
UNFOLD: Mediation by Reinterpretation is a research project and interdisciplinary network initiated by LIMA, Platform for Media Art in Amsterdam, that examines reinterpretation as an emerging practice for artistic production, presentation, and preservation of media works. New elements stretch the boundaries of traditional preservation methods and require insights from both the artist and the curator to decide how pieces can be restaged. This essay investigates how to deal with the changes of digital/media artworks over time, and how to preserve and mediate their performative aspects.
The reactivation of time
(2022)
Reappropriating, restaging, revisioning, remediating: at the crossroad of the new millennium, reenactment has undoubtedly emerged as a key issue in the field of artistic production, in theoretical discourse, and in the socio-political sphere. Taking an ever larger distance from notions of historical revival and 'Living History', current reenactments call into question whether the present can unpack, embody, or disentangle the past. Accordingly, to reenact is to experience the past by reactivating either a particular cultural heritage or unexplored utopias. If to reenact means not to restore but to challenge the past, history is thus turned into a possible and perpetual becoming, a site for invention and renewal.
This paper focuses on an ongoing project that began in 2012, entitled "The Collection of Jane Ryan & William Saunders". This project is an attempt to reconstitute the Marcos Collection. Sourced from auction catalogues, museum archives, and scant government records, their lavish inventory of commissioned portraits, jewellery, Regency silverware, and old master paintings is reproduced as photographic installations, postcards, and three-dimensional prints. Reconstruction, in this instance, becomes a sustained democratic gesture, allowing an increasingly forgetful public to access a collection that has remained unavailable through a systemic failure by successive post-dictatorial governments to institutionalize collective acts of remembering.
Gibt es auch etwas Gutes an der Pandemie? Aus Sicht von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern, insbesondere der Musikbranche, wohl kaum: keine Live-Auftritte, kaum Einnahmemöglichkeiten. Stattdessen viel Zeit. Und hier hat sich dann doch wieder etwas Gutes ergeben: Bernd Herzogenrath, Professor am Institut für England- und Amerikastudien, hat für ein ganz besonderes Projekt 133 teils international gefeierte Künstler aus den Bereichen Film, Sound, Text und Fotografie gewinnen können, die sonst wahrscheinlich nicht die Muße für sein Experiment gehabt hätten: »©ovid‘s metamorphoses« spinnen Ovids mythologisches Gedicht nach dem Stille-Post-Prinzip weiter und spielen dabei mit unserem Corona-Alltag. Um das genreübergreifende Werk an die Öffentlichkeit bringen zu können, sucht Herzogenrath noch nach Kunstfreunden, die das Projekt auch finanziell unterstützen wollen.
Statik
(2022)
Bei der Statik handelt es sich um einen vielschichtigen Begriff, der zumeist ausgeblendet wird und dem sich Kunst-, aber auch Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftler*innen bislang nur selten explizit widmeten. Im Folgenden wird es um die weitere Aufschlüsselung dieses Begriffs gehen, wobei die Kunst der Avantgarden der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts im Zentrum steht. Im abschließenden Teil wird der Blick dann auf weitere, für die Klärung des Begriffs relevante Bereiche gerichtet. Die Bemerkungen können nur ausschnitthaft darstellen, dass Moderne und Postmoderne stärker von der Statik geprägt sind, als man gemeinhin annimmt. Sie konterkariert die gängigen Erzählungen von Beschleunigung und hemmungsloser, ungezügelter Bewegung als einem Kennzeichen der Moderne. Dabei tritt sie nicht in Distanz zur Dynamik - vielmehr kann sie nur in Anbindung an diverse Prozesse gefasst werden.
Locating authenticity in artworks that are remade (all or in part) or re-performed over time presents a unique challenge for art conservators, whose activities have traditionally been oriented toward caring for the material aspects of art objects. The paper offers a brief overview of perspectives on authenticity and discusses various theoretical models that have been developed to conceptualize how media, installation, and performance artworks are displayed and cared for over time. These include the score/performance model, the concepts of autographicity and allographicity, the concept of iteration, and authenticity as a practice. The author proposes a theoretical model based on the ritual aspects of presenting artworks, arguing that authenticity, repetition, and community participation can be reconciled within a ritual context.
Kinetic and programmed art has been a trend of contemporary arts that flourished in the 1950s and 1960s. Kinetic artworks often incorporated technology, at that time still immature, and involved the audience in the production of visual, sound, and somatic effects. Gruppo T was the pioneering group at the forefront of this groundbreaking vision of art as reproducible, participatory, and interactive. Through an action research project and the methodological tool of reenactment, a group of researchers, designers, and artists has proposed an alternative way to conserve Gruppo T artworks. The project 'Re-programmed Art: An Open Manifesto' originated from the ephemeral and experimental features, as well as fragility, of the works by Gruppo T - that is, from the difficulties of practice, conservation, technology, and market that have confined them for far too long to the margins of mainstream art history. We conceive reenactment not just a mere restaging but as re-designing, re-thinking, updating, and reprogramming a series of works by Gruppo T.
