I Hear You, Labour of Love

From Jessica Courtney Bennett at projectartworks.org
A film featuring five artists from Project Art Works is currently being screened as part of Labour of Love, a new exhibition at The Glucksman Gallery, Cork, Republic of Ireland. I Hear You by Mikhail Karikis explores the relationship between listening and care. Focusing on interactions between carers and non-verbal people who use Project Art Works’ studio spaces, Karikis invites the viewer to pay attention to the sensitive tuning-in of support workers, artists and family members to those they support – a precarious role that is often invisible, misunderstood and undervalued by society.

The Brabant chapter of the Cow and Landscape is part of the SOILS exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, until 24 November 2024. What place can Dutch rural and more-than-human life be given within contemporary art amid growing demands for agricultural transition? We believe that good coexistence between humans and the more-than-human requires us to recognize how the economy is rooted in local cultures and (natural) environments. The work introduces the conceptual framework rural sociologist Inez Dekker and visual artist Wapke Feenstra developed together for this project as they journey through the Netherlands from autumn 2020 to spring 2024.

Provoke to think

From Más Arte Más Acción at www.masartemasaccion.org
The book that won’t be written Más Arte Más Acción (MAMA) has been reflecting on its past and future. We intended to write a book about it, but instead came up with a card game using some of the words, phrases and questions harvested from our many conversations. It seemed like a good way to open up our reflections to others, to move away from an introspective process towards sharing in a more open space.

Dear members of the Bundestag, my name is Ade Darmawan, and today I’m addressing you as part of ruangrupa. Let me start with a brief comment about history. In 1955, Arnold Bode established documenta in Kassel, Germany, to heal the wounds of the Second World War. A few months before, in that same year, a group of leaders collectively laid the ground for what would be known as the Non Aligned Movement, in Bandung, Indonesia, discussing a way forward independent from and built on the wounds of the colonial powers.

Pasang Surut #8 (Edisi Khusus): Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict – A Primer, Phyllis Bennis Tongkrongan kali ini barangkali tongkrongan paling emosional sepanjang seri Pasang Surut. Sebabnya, karena buku yang dibicarakan tidak lain dan tidak bukan berjudul ‘Understanding the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: a Primer’ karya Phyllis Bennis. Fakta bahwa buku ini ditulis oleh seorang kulit putih membuat kita dapat mengerti bahwa isu Palestina dan Israel bukanlah isu agama. Ia merupakan isu kemanusiaan.
