7. päivä tätä kuuta dekonstruktiota taiteen nimissä

[hattiwatti]

Vierailkaa jos huvittaa.
Eräänlainen näyte ilmeisesti postmodernin vasemmiston pyrkimyksestä dekonstruktioida hollantilaiseen joulunviettoon liittyviä traditioita, mm. Zwarte Piet neekeriapulaista joka hollantilaisella joulupukilla (sinterklaat) on perinteisesti ollut apunaan. Tälläinenhän toki uusintaa kolonialistisia paradigmoja "underlying structures and its implication on dutch society". Ehkäpä Geert Wildersin puolueen nousu hollannin toisiksi suurimmaksi johtuukin joulunviettoperinteen turmelevasti vaikutuksesta.

Annette Krause: Towards criticallinks between art, education and
activism

In her artistic practice Annette Krauss addresses the intersection of
art, politics and everyday life. Exploring the possibility of
participatory practices, performativity and investigations in
educational structures, she is interested in how norms and values
control our (practical) knowledge and everyday practices, and how this
contributes towards the development of human relations within specific
social contexts.

Annette Krauss has particpated amonst others in the postgraduate
Critical Studies Course at Rooseum, Center for Contemporary Art Malmö
and Art
Academy Malmö, IASPIS Residency program and in exhibitions such as
Becoming Dutch,Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven (NL), Hidden Curriculum,
Utrecht;
(NL), Invisible Landscape, Lund Konsthall; Momentum Biennial, Moss (N);
Soft
Logics, Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, Walden, Kunsthaus Dresden.

Abstract of presentation:
Krauss' presentation will elaborate around critical links between art,
education and activism. With examples of her own practices of the last
years, she deals with the question whether (critical) education can
still, in today's globalised society, be a place for social
participation and
ideally become a place for political and social negotiations.

Krauss will concentrate amongst other examples on her ongoing project
Hidden Curriculum. The project seeks to investigate the kinds of
learning that take place in schools, but which are not part of the
official
curriculum, by looking at unrecognised and unintended forms of
knowledge accompanying the official learning processes in schools and
other
learning contexts.

Furthermore she introduces aspects of the project Read the Masks.
Tradition Is Not Given in relation to the presentations topic. The
project investigates and critically comments on the Dutch tradition of
"Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet", its underlying structures and its
implication for
Dutch society.

and address the heavy and violent reactions that the project received
