Selbstinszenierung, Selbstentblößung, Selbstauslöschung – das sind die Themen, die Michaela Moscouw (*1961) über drei Jahrzehnte kompromisslos, exzessiv und einprägsam bearbeitete. Bis Anfang der 1980er-Jahre malte die Wiener Künstlerin abstrakte Bilder, dann zerstörte sie ihr gesamtes Werk und filmte sich dabei. Damit wechselte sie das Medium und verwendete

What happens to curatorial practices when treated as multi-voiced, pluralistic, and process-based? Politics of Curatorship: Collective and Affective Interventions asks what curatorship could be when it is freed from its elitist notions.

“Folded” is a documentary photo book by Zoran Shekerov published by PrivatePrint. The book researches and presents the Pehlivan wrestling tradition from an authentic and contemporary angle.

The volume is an epistolary narrative produced via text message with a community of anonymous correspondents. Following on from a performative work, conceived by Simon Asencio, this book stages a relation between two protagonists, U and I. Through identitarian slips and glyphs, the book explores the narrative ambiguities of experimental writing, to generate a space for fluidity and uncertainty, at the intersection of the artistic and the literary.

The book is the outcome of research on the themes of sex, sexuality and performativity which started in summer 2019 and was concluded in autumn 2021. The investigation starts from a curatorial perspective, situated in the field of contemporary Italian visual and performing arts, and evolves by absorbing contents from a variety of disciplines (philosophy, literature, history and pornography). The research is based on the firm conviction – here turned into a method – that a critical theory able to go beyond the disciplinary compartments of knowledge is an important practical tool for facing the political challenges of our contemporary world.
