The Association Shedhalle Zürich is looking for a new curatorial
and operational team (180%) starting August 1, 2012.
Referring to the role and positioning of Shedhalle as a self-organised
exhibition space, which is not hierarchically structured and part of
the compound of the cultural centre Rote Fabrik in Zurich, the board
of the association is looking for a new curatorial and operational team by
August 2012.
The team effort should span all of the various spheres of activity. The
Association Shedhalle Zürich’s programmatic orientation
focuses on opening up a critical thinking space that mirrors its policies
and its practices as well as topical issues. The emphasis lies on
questions regarding politics of display and the euro-centrist history
of exhibition making.
The term is limited to 4 years.
Applications (in German or in English) including a statement concerning
contents and approaches should be submitted in digital form (pdf, up
to 3 MB) by December 31, 2011 to
vorstand@shedhalle.ch.
Teams will be invited for a talk at the Shedhalle, between February 27
and March 3, 2012. The
conversations will be held in German or in
English. The board is interested in providing translations into other
languages.
Further information regarding the job opening can be found at

the location
In the forested Treptower Park along the Spreeriver in East Berlin, find an abandoned amusement park. Built by the GDR in 1969, Kulturpark Planterwald was a site for Eastern Bloc amusement and exchange. After the fall of the Wall, the park became the family owned Spreepark, and suffered challenges of attendance and economy, and the bankrupt park closed its gates in 2001. Perhaps you have been there since, and have already hopped the fence and explored this jungle of collapsed thrill machines.
the proposal
Amusement parks contain a vast repository of memories, histories, imaginaries, dreams, fantasies, fears, and temporalities. This park is a constellation of political, ecological, machinic, economic, natural, and cultural cycles. Its ruins, traces, and stories provide fertile grounds for re-positioning amusement kultur, charting new potentials for physical, social, and collective movements. Kulurbahn will re-imagine the future for the 21st C. kulturpark.
Kulturbahn
On June 28-31st 2012, the park will awake once again for a participatory exhibition that investigates the park’s past, illuminates its presence, and designs its futures. Kulturbahn--the train that traverses the park’s perimeter and the only functioning ride--will host a moving landscape of sound, lights, music, performances, projections, and installations. The park will be animated as as a time machine, a landscape of awareness, a thriving ecology, a remainder of history, a political expression, a playground of possibility, a platform for observation, and a site for social exchange.

DIE 7. BERLIN BIENNALE STELLT ASSOZIIERTE KURATORINNEN
VOR: DIE GRUPPE VOINA AUS RUSSLAND UND JOANNA WARSZA
Artur
Żmijewski hat die Gruppe Voina aus Russland und Joanna Warsza aus
Warschau zu assoziierten KuratorInnen ernannt, die gemeinsam das
Konzept und Programm der 7. Berlin Biennale weiterentwickeln werden.
VOINA
Oleg Vorotnikov (a.k.a. Vor), Natalya Sokol (a.k.a.
Kozljonok or Koza), Leonid Nikolajew (a.k.a. Leo the Fucknut) und
Kasper Nienagliadny Sokol
Das KünstlerInnenkollektiv Voina (dt.: Krieg) aus Russland wurde
2005 von Oleg Vorotnikov und Natalya Sokol gegründet. Voina
engagiert sich in aktionistischer Straßenkunst, die sich gegen die
russischen Autoritäten richtet. Ihre Aktionen werden regelmäßig
von einer Vielzahl von anonymen AktivistInnen unterstützt. Gegen
die Gruppe und ihre AktivistInnen wurden bereits zahlreiche
strafrechtliche Prozesse angestrengt. Zuletzt wurden Mitte Oktober
2011 Natalya Sokol und ihr Sohn Kasper für mehrere Stunden in
Arrest genommen. Oleg Vorotnikov, Natalya Sokol, Leonid Nikolajew
und Kasper Nienagliadny Sokol verweigern die Verwendung von Geld und
leben ohne permanenten Wohnsitz in St. Petersburg. Ihr Credo lautet,
wie Natalya Sokol erklärt: „Ein Künstler, der sich dem
politischen Bewusstsein verschließt, ist nur ein Designer.“
