The objective is to create a wider platform for the discussion of curatorial concerns - encourage a diversification of curatorial models, and actively contribute to the formation of a theory of curating. It is published by ARCHIVE BOOKS and will be distributed internationally, selling at major and specialty bookstores and newsstands. The Exhibitionist will be published twice a year and will follow a strict editorial structure. In each issue, the Curators' Favorites section will present three texts in which three curators write a personal essay about an exhibition, contemporary or historic, that has particularly impacted their thinking, followed by Back in the Day - an in-depth look at a historically important exhibition. In Assessments, the core of the journal, four curators will review a significant contemporary exhibition, each from his or her individual point of view. Typologies debates specific exhibition formats. Attitude features a text by a member of the editorial board reflecting on the current state of exhibition making. In Rear Mirror, two curators reflect upon exhibitions they have recently curated. And, finally, Endnote, a brief remark on a notable aspect of curatorial practice. Every fourth issue will include a conversation between some of the contributors about past issues; in this way the journal offers a forum for self-reflexivity. The launch of the first issue of The Exhibitionist will be celebrated on February 11 at ARCHIVE KABINETT in Berlin. Several of the contributors and members of the editorial board will be present; they will engage in a public conversation about the current state of exhibition making and the new wave of publications on the subject of curating. The speakers will include Jens Hoffmann, Chus Mart?nez, Tara McDowell and Adriano Pedrosa.

Dystopia is the utopia you must be careful not to wish for (Michael S. Roth) The work in Involuntary Reception highlights a variety of dystopias in which bureaucratic, scientific, economic and environmental systems mesh together, asking to whom have we surrendered control and in whose name? Just as classic dystopian fiction blurs the boundaries between present catastrophe and future premonition, so too do the fragmentary and frenetic transmissions of Kristin Lucas, Branda Miller, Craig Mulholland and Charlie Tweed. They do this through montaging contemporary and archival film sources with computerised voiceovers and layering digital images with analogue noise to disorientating effect. By inviting curators to present a programme of artists? film, The MAB Film Exercise seeks to address both the diverse potential for artists? film as a form and a sense of the current urgency, social or political timeliness in the work (of both curator and artist). The MAB Film Exercise is produced and presented by Media Art Bath ? championing contemporary art and ideas through the development of bold new work. The MAB Film Exercise is a place for discussing art and the ideas it generates, please join us! FORTHCOMING PROGRAMME: THU 25 MARCH ? Elisa Kay, Flat Time House WED 7 APRIL ?

Este preocupat cu precadere de arta in spatiul public si arta multimedia, lucrarile lui accentuand intrebari legate de societatea civila si confruntarea cu istoria recenta. Krenn este de asemenea profesor la Universitatea de Arta din Viena. Filmele lui Martin Krenn se situeaza la granita dintre documentatie, participare si instigare politica. ?In Between the Movements?, cea mai recenta serie video a artistului, la care lucreaza din anul 2007, se concentreaza asupra fenomenului de relationare globala si a impactului acesteia asupra teoriei si practicii rezistentei de stanga. Telul nu este insa nici acela de a oferi o vedere de ansamblu a ?miscarilor anti-globalizare?, nici acela de a livra concepte prefabricate despre configurarea unei ?lumi alternative?, ci de a se dezbate interogari concrete, aflate la intersectia marilor proiecte globale. Se discuta, de exemplu, posibilitatile, dar si dificultatile care se ivesc in comunicarea dintre grupuri cu background-uri diferite. Convorbirile purtate cu diferiti protagonisti sunt punctul de plecare ale unor filme create impreuna cu acestia. Toti participantii au fost invitati sa influenteze alcatuirea filmului, atat la filmari cat si la montaj. Cooperarea cu subiectii filmelor, proveniti din contexte geografice si activistice diferite, faciliteaza descoperirea diferitelor perspective ale opozitiei si constituie un exemplu al productiei de cunoastere colaborative. ?Note despre opozitie? (2006) este un film documentar despre miscarea de rezistenta impotriva fascismului in anii '30 si '40 in Austria, Spania si Fran?a. Protagonistul filmului este austriacul Harry Spiegel, care in anii '30 a luptat in Spania de partea republicanilor impotriva lui Franco. Adoptand metoda reconstituirii unor vechi fotografii si secvente de film, documentarul incearca sa aduca in centrul atentiei reprezentarea filmica si transmiterea istoriei. Seria fotografica si scurt-metrajul ?Tirana Tours? (2007) aduc in discutie un album fotografic comunist, aparut in anul 1990 la Tirana, in patru limbi. 17 ani mai tarziu, Martin Krenn a fotografiat din nou localitatile din imaginile acestui album. Un interviu cu fotograful imaginilor originale, Petrit Kumi, completeaza seria fotografica. Tema proiectului sunt mecanismele retoricii si imagisticii ideologice si modul in care ele continua sa influenteze prezentul. Martin Krenn va fi prezent la vizionarea fragmentelor din filmele amintite si va sta la dispozitie pentru intrebari. www.martinkrenn.net Acest proiect este sustinut de FORUMUL CULTURAL AUSTRIAC. Multumiri speciale: Karin Cervenka. --- Thursday, 25 February 2010, 19.00 ARTIST TALK MARTIN KRENN: FILMS ON ART AND ACTIVISM Born in 1970, in Vienna, Martin Krenn attends the University of Applied Arts and the Conservatory. He is particularly interested in art in public space and multimedia art, his work focusing on questions regarding the civil society and its confrontation with recent history. Krenn also teaches at the University of Art in Vienna. Martin Krenn's movies are situated at the border between documentary, participation and political action. "In Between the Movements", his latest video series, started in 2007, focuses on the global relational phenomenon and its impact on the theory and practice of leftwing resistance. Its goal is neither to offer a complete picture on the "anti-globalization" movements, nor to deliver prefabricated concepts on the configuring of an "alternative world", but to debate concrete questions, at the crossroads of major global projects. For instance, the possibilities and the difficulties that arise in communicating with groups of different backgrounds are discussed. Conversations led with different protagonists are the starting point of films created in collaboration with them. All the participants were invited to influence the creation of the film, both in the filming as well as the editing process. Cooperation with the films' subjects, coming from different geographical and activist contexts, enable the discovering of different perspectives on opposition and represent an example of production of collaborative knowledge. "Notes on opposition" (2006) is a documentary film on the resistance movement against fascism in the '30s and '40s in Austria, France and Spain. The main character is the Austrian Harry Spiegel, that fought in Spain in the '30s alongside the republicans that opposed Franco. Adopting the method of recreating old photographs and film sequences, the documentary tries to focus on filmic representation and the transmission of history. The photographic series and the short film "Tirana Tours" (2007) discuss a communist photography album, edited in 1990 in Tirana, in four languages. Seventeen years later, Martin Krenn took pictures of the locations shot in the album. An interview with the photographer of the original images, Petrit Kumi, completes the photographic series. The theme of the project are the rhetorical and ideological image mechanisms and the way they continue to influence the present. Martin Krenn will be present at the screening of the film fragments mentioned above and will be available for a questions and answers series. www.martinkrenn.net This project is supported by the AUSTRIAN CULTURAL FORUM.

Assistant curator: Silvia Vasilescu The return of the repressed is a crucial theme, a key to understanding recent history. "The project of the West, the Nietzschean project, has been to drive out religion and to produce a secular society in which men and women make their own values because morality is gone. Then suddenly radical religion returns from the Third World. How can you not laugh at that? How can you not find that a deep historical irony?" (Hanif Kureishi, in International Herald Tribune). According to Freud, the very act of entering into civilized society entails the repression of various archaic, primitive desires. For Freud repression is a normal part of human development; indeed, the analysis of dreams, literature, jokes, and "Freudian slips" illustrates the ways that our secret desires continue to find outlet in perfectly well-adjusted individuals. However, when we are faced with obstacles to satisfaction of our libido's cathexis, when we experience traumatic events, or when we remain fixated on earlier phases of our development, the conflict between the libido and the ego (or between the ego and the superego) can lead to alternative sexual discharges. The return of the repressed is the process whereby repressed elements, preserved in the unconscious, tend to reappear, in consciousness or in behavior, in the shape of secondary and more or less unrecognizable "derivatives of the unconscious." This return of the repressed, of ideologies forced to marginalization, of sexuality subject to forced secrecy, has resulted, in recent years, in an almost dramatic change of a society filled with anguish, hallucinations, repression imposed by unnecessary regulations that serve to the repressive violence of governments against their own citizens.

Det undertryktes tilbagevenden er et essentiet tema, som n?gle til at forst? den nyere historie. Vestens projekt, det "Nietzscheske" projekt, har v?ret at fordrive religion og producere et verdsligt samfund, hvori indbyggerne skaber deres egne v?rdier, fordi moralen er frav?rende. S? pludselig vender radikal religion tilbage fra Den Tredje Verden. Hvordan man man ikke grine ad det? Hvordan kan man ikke betragte det som en dyb historisk ironi? (Hanif Kureishi, i International Herald Tribune) If?lge Freud indeholder selve det at indtr?de i det civiliserede samfund, undertrykkelsen af adskillige arkaiske, primitive lyster. For Freud er undertrykkelse en normal del af den menneskelige udvikling; netop analysen af dr?mme, litteratur, jokes og "Freudianske slip" illustrerer m?derne hvorp?, vores hemmelige lyster fortsat finder udl?b i almindelige veltilpassede individer. Men n?r vi bliver m?dt med hindringer i mod at tilfredsstille vores libidos kateksis, oplever traumatiske begivenheder, eller forbliver fastl?st p? tidlige stadier af vores udvikling, kan konflikten mellem libido og ego (eller mellem ego og superego) lede til alternative seksuelle afl?b. Det undertryktes tilbagevenden er processen hvorved undertrykte elementer, bevarede i det ubevidste, har det med at dukke op igen i bevidstheden eller i opf?rsel, i form at sekund?re og mere eller mindre genkendelige "afledninger at det ubevidste". Denne tilbagevenden af det undertrykte, af ideologier tvunget til marginalisering, af seksualitet underlagt hemmeligholdelse, har i de seneste ?r resulteret i en n?sten dramatisk ?ndring af samfundet. Et samfund fyldt med lidelse, hallucinationer og undertrykkelse, p?lagt af un?dvendige bestemmelser, som tjener til regeringers undertrykkende vold mod sine egne indbyggere.
