The Non-Age

“In the future the idea of youth won”t make sense
anymore as everyone will try to dress, think and act
as an eternal young (wo)man.”
Michel Maffesoli

If Marc Augé coined successfully the concept “non-places” in the 90s, we could rely on this idea as a starting point and launch the concept “non-age” as a term that in a challenging manner reflects the complexity of ageing in our hyper-consumer society.

As such, “The Non-Age” too questions relational, historical or sociological ideas and preconceptions concerned with ageing and old age, and especially the relationship that individuals have with this “new adulthood” in terms of income, health, social relationships, aesthetic image, and leisure.

Why the “non-age”? “Because we are experiencing –explains Paco Barragán, co-curator- progressively a canon of age in which youth, maturity, and adulthood become, both mentally and physically, one sole category within which the problems of youth become a concept that refers to the problems of any one of us in general, independent of his or her age. These “new adults” pursue goals by means of attitudes and strategies that, according to our puritan society, do not coincide with those commonly associated to or concerned with their age.”

RESISTENCIA CRITICA
9ª BIENAL DE VIDEO Y ARTES MEDIALES_2009
CONVOCATORIA 9º CONCURSO LATINOAMERICANO A LA CREACIÓN Y AUTORÍA, EN VIDEO Y ARTES DIGITALES “JUAN DOWNEY”

NUEVO PLAZO DE ENTREGA DE OBRAS: LUNES 15 DE JUNIO
ENTREGA DE MATERIAL: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, sede Quinta Normal, Av. Matucana 464, Quinta Normal, Santiago, Chile.
CONTACTO: info@bienaldevideo.cl
FONO: 56-02-9771753

Se invita a todos los artistas latinoamericanos a participar en la 9ª version del Concurso Juan Downey. Se realizara en el contexto de la Bienal de Video y Artes Mediales / 20 de agosto al 13 de Septiembre de 2009 / Museo de Arte Contemporáneo_Quinta Normal.

Esta 9ª versión pone como urgencia la preocupación sobre la situación actual de la indistinción que se hace en el campo de los medios digitales convencionales con respecto a la sociedad de consumo y su tendencia tecnócrata, el uso irresponsable de los medios de comunicación y su efecto en la sociedad del conocimiento, y la debilidad relacional y estética del paradigma actual en el arte digital.

Es por eso que el eje fundamental de la siguiente bienal es la “RESISTENCIA”, y más específicamente la “RESISTENCIA CRITICA”, la cual funciona como un filtro y amplificador de reflexiones y obras que ponen en evidencia esta condición, y a través de sus contenidos, contribuyen al proceso formador y reflexivo del espectador.

Viradão Carioca

Já chega tarde o evento Viradão Cultural no Rio de Janeiro, que é de extrema importância para ressucitar circuitos culturais da cidade. Ainda que possamos nos incomodar com eventuais manobras políticas, e o uso indevido do nome do Viradão por casas que querem apenas promover seus eventos regulares, não se pode rejeitar este acontecimento.

Segue aí o link com a programação do final de semana:

Call for Applications CuratorLab – International Curatorial Program
Call for Applications 2009/2010

Application Deadline June 30, 2009

http://www.konstfack.se/curatorlab

CuratorLab is an international self-directed curatorial course dedicated to the advancement of curatorial practices based on research in the arts, crafts and design. It is designed to offer time to conduct research and to explore new directions and ideas in order to develop artistic or theoretical work while linking academic study to cultural projects.

The program offers the participants the possibility to develop and realize one individual or collaborative project in the form of a public presentation, i.e. exhibition, lecture series, publication, screenings, seminar, for which CuratorLab provides professional feedback and practical support as well as a moderate research/production budget.

The final form, and where it will be presented, is decided by each participant in dialogue with his or her personal advisor.

CuratorLab will arrange guest lectures by professionals, and provides each participant access to the faculties across Konstfack’s nine departments, visiting curators, critics and practitioners, and be welcomed into graduate seminars and classes.

Dependant on the individual aims and research topics of the participants the faculty will assist in contacting art institutions to arrange lectures, to set up meetings with professionals in the field, as well as schedule studio visits with artists and designers in the Nordic region.

Participants will be introduced to Konstfack’s Nordic and international network in arts, design and craft.

Applications are accepted once a year, to enter in September 2009. The program is flexible. It can be divided over different intervals over the academic year and it is not required to be based in Stockholm full time. The final schedule will be determined during the first meeting mid September in Stockholm.
