3SICCN – Three Seas Initiative Cultural Cooperation Network

 

On April 10, 2024, a group of institutions from countries in the Three Seas region officially established their new cultural cooperation network – The Three Seas Initiative Cultural Cooperation Network (3SICCN) – in Vilnius, Lithuania.

3SICCN is comprised of cultural institutions, museums, galleries, art universities, and associations of artists and art critics that initiate cooperation within the context of the Three Seas Initiative. Partners aim to support each other in conducting research on culture and art. They are working on jointly organizing the cyclical Three Seas Art Festival, scheduled to commence in 2025, as a biennial event visiting various locations in the region. This level of cooperation aims to facilitate the integration of the region’s societies and foster an appreciation for cultural diversity and a shared identity. The initiative is open and polycentric, operating in the spirit of pluralism, mutual curiosity, and friendship. The perspective of the European Union and the logic of EU structural cohesion are crucial to the project. Additionally, it is important for partners to research and improve educational and cultural policies, as well as culture-related public services, in individual 3SI countries. 3SICCN views the sphere of art, design, education, and creative industries not only as a space for public diplomacy but also as an important sector of the region’s economy, strongly influencing the lives of citizens and covering a significant financial volume.

BETWEEN ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL DISASTER

PROBLEMS OF CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY ART

Olomouc Museum of Art – Central European Forum + National Gallery Prague online workshop on the CEAD platform: 19 04 2024

On the occasion of the exhibition ELEVACE Zděnek Beran: Rehabilitation Department of Dr. Dr., the Central European Forum Olomouc and the National Gallery in Prague invite you to participate in an international colloquium dedicated to the preservation and presentation of works from the context of contemporary art. The meeting is intended for practitioners, restorers, conservators, curators and art historians or anthropologists specializing specifically in the field of contemporary art, problematic ma- terials and ephemeral art forms. However, it has a natural historical dimension – the question of preservation, reconstruction or presentation of art environments cannot, of course, be limited to the last few decades. Trends associated with the material turn on the one hand. The performative turn on the other, the rise of poststructuralist strategies, as well as the increasingly complex rethinking of relations between individual actors across scholarly discourses, are generalizing and developing the field of art history in ways that have obvious and direct implications for a range of social practices or practices.

The imaginary motto of the meeting is one of the first complex environments created in the Central European space, the Rehabilitation Department of Dr. Dr., created in his studio at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s by Czech painter and visual artist, a member of the unofficial scene and later professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Zdeněk Beran (1937–2014). The work, on the borderline between installation, sculp- tural realisation and abstracted spatial painting, went through three dramatic phases with an almost biblical subtext: it was placed in a grave (1993–1994), then removed (1997) and reinstalled in a museum setting (2000/2023). It is precisely this symbolic “elevation”, i.e. not only physical but also meaningful preservation in the actual spacetime, imagination and mentality, that is the key condition for the existence of an artwork.

Due to the importance of such interdisciplinary meetings, which offer the opportunity to view a given topic or realisation from multiple perspectives, the programme is divided into two stages – the first meeting will take place online at the Central European Database in April 2024, the second will then be organised taking into account the results obtained and the degree of synergies. The aim is to create a vibrant and functional network, capable of responding to the challenges faced by specific institutions or individuals. The long-established New Media Museums programme, focusing on new media art and working with advanced technologies, is a model for this.

We welcome contributions from individuals and groups, with a primary interest in the field of contemporary art, but prepared with an awareness of the general categories of theory and practice of conservation and restoration of complex art environments. The program will consist of separate panels, organized by theme, time and subject matter, and consisting of contributions of standard length (20 minutes).

ABSTRACTS OF UP TO 500 WORDS, WITH A SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF THE AUTHOR(S), SHOULD BE SUBMITTED BY 30 03 2024, TO SEFO@MUO.CZ. THE LANGUAGE OF THE COLLOQUIUM IS ENGLISH.

Codladh sámh Ciarán

 

 

Ciarán Bennett sadly died on 15 February 2024 after a long illness, aged 68. He was a member of AICA since 1994 and served as President of AICA Ireland Section for two terms and AICA International Vice-President.

He spearheaded the AICA World Congress in 2009 “The Relations between Art and Science: Complicity, Criticality, Knowledge” at Dublin Castle and regularly attended AICA meetings in Paris, a city he knew and loved very much.

His art education began at Dun Laoghaire Art School (now IADT) in the late 70s, taking on further studies in in Paris, Florence and Bath. Following a stint living and working in Thailand and travelling around Asia, in 1994 he returned to Ireland and began working as an art critic. As well as freelance writing, he also served at the art critic for the Irish Architect, journal of the Royal Institute of Architects in Ireland from 1995-2000. During his career he also wrote for wrote for Brooklyn Rail, Artnet, Circa Art Magazine, Art Criticism, and the Irish Arts Review and several other publications.

He curated several exhibitions including shows at the National Print Museum, Solstice Arts Centre, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, often advising artists and galleries selections and installations. His exhibition at IMMA "A Vision of Modern Art in Memory of Dorothy Walker" was made in commemoration of the art critic, writer and founding IMMA Board member Dorothy Walker. He wrote for the catalogue which also includes an essay by Donald Kuspit.

He had a keen interest in the postwar inauguration of AICA which led to in his book "James Johnson Sweeney: The Poetry of Vision in the Twilight of Modernism" published in 2017. This book has made a very valuable contribution to awareness of the art politics that lay behind ROSC, modern Irish Art and AICA early years. He received the Pollock Krasner Research Fellowship for this project and spent several years researching which took his to many places including New York, Houston, and Ibiza.

He wrote essays and reviews of numerous artists who include: Francis Bacon, Joseph Beuys, Martina Coyle, Gary Coyle, Fiona Dowling, Denis Farrell, Kathy Herbert, Cor Klassen, Brian Maguire, Paul Moss, Janet Mullareny, Cóilín Murray, Alan Phelan, Amanda Ralph, Bridget Riley, Vivienne Roche, Sean Scully, Katherine Shankey, John Noel Smith, Mario Sughi, Charles Tyrell, and many others.

Other projects include work with Suzanne Anker & Frank Gillette which led him to be keynote speaker at the conference Molecular Cuisine: The Politics of Taste at the School of Visual Arts, New York. He also appeared on an Irish language television programme called Dullamullóg as the art critic charged with assessing contestant craft workers.

As Noel Kelly said at his funeral service: "for those who really knew Ciarán, they will know of his great heart, his generosity, his complete lack of guile or deceit. Ciarán was always the genuine character. His unapologetic use of words, his incredible range of knowledge and half-remembered stories put him in direct lineage to Ireland’s greatest in terms of the use of language. And yet, he also hungered to know more, whilst maybe a “bit” dismissive about the constant repetition of trends and tropes or the lack of education and learning in the world, but his mind was always interested in knowing more. Not a superficial knowledge, but the why and where, and when it all became too much, the familiar wave of the hand, toss of the head, were signals that Ciarán was ready to move on."

RUPTURED HISTORIES: CRITICAL EXCHANGES ON ISSUES OF DECOLONISATION

The Ruptured Histories Project brings together a multiplicity of strands of the global debate on Decolonisation to enable us to investigate it from different geographical and cultural vantage points. Decolonising has been defined as the process of deconstructing colonial ideologies, attitudes, mechanisms of power, of superiority, and privilege of Western thought and approach. The awareness created by activist critiques in post- colonial debates and Subaltern studies has today evolved into proactive Decolonisation to address a range of issues. In this context, it’s important to understand that Decolonisation has a history beyond the 21st Century academic discourse and critical practice, as it has long been an integral part of the anti-colonial resistance and a vital part of the national consciousness of post- colonial nations.

Original concept: Niilofur Farrukh and Anselmo Villata

AICA International’s Fellowship Fund Committee now launches the third in this series of webinars on the complex history and legacy of colonisation and current policies of decolonisation in art criticism, exhibiting and collecting.

‘Ruptured Histories: The Street - Dynamic Decolonisation by the People’.

This webinar will investigate the informal Decolonisation process where new histories are being written on the street and public spaces. In the last few years we have seen the removal of, or intervention in, statues and monuments from the public space. These interventions are made by artists and the general populace in rejection of official narratives. These actions reveal how public memory is asserting itself to de- glorify the colonial past and its heroes and echo similar actions that followed the independence of post-colonial nations when physical remnants of the past were relocated and re-contextualised. This webinar addresses the interventions of artists and public as an important part of the discourse of Decolonisation. A discourse that is relevant in many countries.

Statement on Freedom of Expression in Republic of Slovakia

Paris, January 30th, 2024

International Art Critics Association (AICA) is alarmed at the recent actions that undermine the autonomy of cultural institutions and freedom of expression in the Republic of Slovakia. Unfortunately, these actions are being carried out under the directive of the Ms Simkovicova, Minister of Culture. All such violations are unacceptable by AICA and all organizations that support the UNESCO Charter of Freedom of Expression.

AICA is a representative body of art critics based in Paris since the 1940s. It is active across the world with 9000 members in 95 countries. One of its objectives is to protect the ethical and professional rights of its members and defend impartiality and freedom of artistic expression worldwide. The Censorship and Freedom of Expression Committee of AICA actively monitors cases of censorship and human rights abuse in the art community and with the support of its members, registers protest against all violations.

AICA endorses the appeal circulated by Slovak art critics, artists, academics and curators, and expresses concern at the arbitrary merger of Kunsthalle Bratislava with Slovak National Gallery, an action that has been widely criticized for its impact on the professional standing and programming freedom of the Kunsthalle Bratislava.

AICA urges the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Slovakia, to put an immediate stop to the non-transparent dismissal or pressure for the resignation on the heads of the institutions under her Ministry.

The censorship of programmes and political appointment of incompetent professionals will have a detrimental effect on the development of art and culture in Slovakia and erode creative freedom at art and cultural institutions.
AICA hopes that this statement of protest will serve as a reminder that the actions to politicize and de-professionalize institutions are unethical and unacceptable by art professionals across the world.

On behalf of AICA

Malgorzata Kazmierczak, President of AICA International

Christian Chambert is one of AICA’s most devoted members. Ever since 1975, for a full 48 years, he has been continuously active in various positions, both in the international AICA and its Swedish section.

In international AICA, Mr. Chambert has been vice president for a maximum of twelve years and has been a member and chairman of several committees since the 1980s. During his chairmanship of the statutes committee, the statutes and regulations were updated from scratch in 2016. As a treasurer, secretary and then chairman from 1978 – 2013, Mr. Chambert made AICA Sweden the third largest section after France and the USA.

Mr. Chambert has overseen several national and international roundtable discussions, specifically in collaboration with Kim Levin and the Swedish AICA's board, he conducted round table discussions in Frankfurt, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Luxembourg and Sarajevo.

A highlight was the AICA congress in Stockholm and Malmö in 1994 on the theme “Strategies for Survival – Now!” that included talks by Jimmie Durham, Thomas McEvilley,  Ilya Kabakov, Julia Kristeva and Gerardo Mosquera among others. The congress resulted in an anthology with the same title and the book “Swedish Samples - A Conversation on Contemporary Art”, which introduced the current Swedish art scene.

Beside his deep involvement in AICA, Mr. Chambert has been a teacher at the Department of Art History at Uppsala University, where he introduced the course "Current visual art", which broadened the art field with alternative comics, graffiti, textile images and feminist aesthetics.

In 1977 he published the significant book ”Drömmen Verkligheten Upproret” [Dream Reality Insurrection] and has co-published many other books since then. Mr. Chambert is an industrious contributor to several international and Swedish art magazines. He has been writing art criticism in the newspaper Upsala Nya Tidning, in which he also has for decades tirelessly argued for a centrally located newly built art museum in his hometown of Uppsala.

INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND PROFESSIONAL CONFERENCE

EXHIBITIVE CARTOGRAPHIES II

Critical Instrumentation, Exhibitive and Curatorial Narratives
 
Croatian Architects’ Association

25 January, 2024

ORGANIZED by Croatian Section of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA Croatia)

CO-ORGANIZERS Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Split

The aim of this conference is to present, examine and contextualise curatorial practices in contemporary art, in Croatian and in a region, but also specifically in regard to our lecturer Pedro Lorente’s thesis on “museums as cathedrals of urban modernity”. (1)  It is important to note that the history of curatorial practices is a relatively little studied area in Croatian art history, while it is increasingly present at the international level. Our objective with this conference is to address this important subject at the crossroads of art criticism, theory and practice. The starting point of the conference is the curatorial figure of Želimir Koščević, the 2018 laureate of AICA Croatia’s Annual Award and Lifetime Achievement Award.

INVITED LECTURERS

Maja Ćirić, PhD (curator and independent researcher, Belgrade, Serbia); Professor Marina Gržinić, PhD (Institute of Philosophy ZRC SAZU, Ljubljana, Slovenia); Želimir Koščević (curator, Zagreb, Croatia); Jovanka Popova (curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje, North Macedonia)

The conference is supported by AICA International and City of Zagreb, City Office for Culture and Civil Society. We would like to thank DAZ for providing the space for the conference.

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Assistant Professor Silva Kalčić, PhD (Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Split), President of AICA Croatia with Associate Professor Asja Mandić, PhD (Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Sarajevo) and Professor Krešimir Purgar, PhD (Academy of Arts and Culture, J.J. Strossmayer University, Osijek)

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ASSISTANT

Miona Muštra (lecturer at Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb)

The conference EXHIBITIVE CARTOGRAPHIES III will be held at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Split, on 14 May, 2024.

The conference is part of a wider program that includes the workshop “How to Write about Contemporary Art” which seeks to examine relations between art and contemporarity, the discourses that shape them and figures who produce them.  The workshop in 2024 will be held in Zagreb, in collaboration with ULUPUH  and in Rijeka, in collaboration with the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMSU).

AICA Academy was launched in 2020 by Marc Partouche, General Secretary of AICA Int, who inaugurated the program at Paris La Sorbonne. However, the initiative faced a pause due to the pandemic. In 2023, Mathilde Roman, Treasurer of AICA Int, breathed new life into the program, aligning it with the 53rd AICA Congress in Krakow. Recognizing the need for greater inclusivity, the relaunch welcomed art critics worldwide, extending invitations beyond AICA members and including artists.

Ten art critics from diverse corners of the globe were carefully selected through an open call for participation. These individuals were granted the unique opportunity to stay at the House of Empathy in Krakow during the Congress. Facilitated by the active involvement of AICA Int members, the residency fostered an environment for the exchange of ideas, dialogue, and networking.

Throughout the 5-day Congress, AICA Academy participants actively engaged with pressing questions that resonate in the realm of art criticism. Topics such as the motivation behind writing about art, the intertwining roles of language and identities in art discourse, and the economic conditions of art critics were explored. Participants interacted with speakers, posed questions, and actively contributed to the ongoing discussions.

During the upcoming webinar, AICA Academy participants will share their reflections, research findings, and unique perspectives. The audience is invited to actively engage in dialogue, posing questions and contributing to the ongoing discourse. This webinar serves as a continuation of the Academy's mission to foster inclusivity and amplify the voices of emerging art critics.
