Our contemporary moment is saturated with the politics of polarisation and dichotomist thinking—with us- or -against us-, liberal or conservative, right or wrong, all-or-nothing. ​Binary thinking often happens when complex ideas and issues are overly simplified into twofold answers. When instead of embracing multiplicity, we are bound into thinking about, and within, fixed categories that don’t evolve over time or adapt themselves to our constantly changing liquid environments.

Techniques of Becoming is the third and last part of the exhibition series Actually, the Dead Are Not Dead, which was conceived in turn as a continuation of the Bergen Assembly 2019, a triennial for contemporary art in Norway.

Following the revolt of the bodies and the political dimensions of the festival, the third part revolves on the effects and dynamics of infrastructures. The exhibition explores the institutions, networks, architectures, and logistics both of materialized and immaterial nature, with regard to their entangled relations with the prevailing neoliberal and neocolonial power structures.

In addition to the museum, the school, the clinic, or the prison— those classical institutions of biopower that philosopher Michel Foucault investigated extensively and consequently has influenced generations if thinkers and artists—the exhibition focuses on infrastructures that enable the global circulation and administration of commodities, currencies, affects, and discourses: social media, computer games, and other systems of so-called smart technologies. It probes how these institutions and systems are entangled with structural forms of sexism, racism, pathologization, violence against non-normative and more-than-human bodies, and capitalist extractivsm of recources and living beings.

The show further reflects on the historical contexts of classifying, normalizing, and excluding forms of governing, looking into their histories from the emergence of modern nation-states to the establishment of globally and digitally active economies. The invited artists counter these structures and their mechanisms of exclusion, pathologization, and oppression with aesthetic and activist practices of appropriation, empowerment, and transformation. The philosopher Gilles Deleuze described the act of becoming as a polymorphic and constant process of change and of the affirmation of difference. In this sense, the artists negotiate becoming as site of possibilities and as a technique for exercising autonomy over one’s own body, for the development of structures of mutual support and for the formation of counter-publics.

The artists in this exhibition answer the question of the exhibition title with a resounding “YES!”. They show that the flower as a symbol can seduce, comfort, heal, adorn and distract, and find common ground in feminist affinities, queer desires and ecological solidarity. But flowers can also represent a form of oppression and censorship, a secret language, a wink and a punch all in one.

Projektion auf die Krise (Gauweilereien in München), 2021

 


Neuerscheinung: Splitter 17


Im Juni 2021 erscheint im Forum Queeres Archiv München die zweite, erweiterte Auflage des Künstlerbuchs „Projektion auf die Krise. Gauweilereien in München“ von Philipp Gufler als Splitter 17.

„Projektion auf die Krise. Gauweilereien in München“ gewährt einen kaleidoskopartigen Rückblick auf die Anfänge der AIDS-Krise in Deutschland in den 1980er Jahren – einer Zeit, in der Münchens repressive Politik gegen Homosexuelle einen Höhepunkt erreichte: das Aufkommen der Pandemie in der Bundesrepublik und die bayerische Antwort. In einem Maßnahmenkatalog sah der damalige Staatssekretär Peter Gauweiler vor, Zwangstests und Absonderung anzuordnen.

Die von Philipp Gufler zusammengetragenen historischen Dokumente aus dem Forum Queeres Archiv München sind in chronologischer Reihenfolge geordnet und werden durch Gespräche mit Guido Vael und Dr.med. Hans Jäger sowie durch aktuelle Arbeiten befreundeter Künstler*innen ergänzt. Die hier vorliegende zweite, überarbeitete Ausgabe enthält zudem Aufsätze von Albert Knoll und Hendrik Folkerts und erscheint zum ersten Mal in englischer Übersetzung. Sie wurde von Jan Erbelding gestaltet. Das Künstlerbuch erscheint zur gleichnamigen Videoinstallation von Philipp Gufler von 2014 und in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Hammann von Mier Verlag, München.

New publication: Splitter 17


Projection on the Crisis (Gauweilereien in Munich) takes a kaleidoscopic and retrospective look at the early days of the AIDS crisis in Germany during the 1980s – a time in which Munich’s repressive policies against gay people reached its peak:

the arrival of the pandemic in Germany and the Bavarian response to it, consisting of a catalogue of measures which envisioned forced testing and separation, instigated by Peter Gauweiler who was Bavarian Secretary of State at the time.

Historic documents from the Forum Queeres Archiv München, assembled by Philipp Gufler, are arranged in chronological order and augmented by conversations with Guido Vael and Dr.med. Hans Jäger alongside contemporary works of fellow artists. The revised second edition also contains essays by Albert Knoll and Hendrik Folkerts, as well as, for the first time, an English translation of the German original texts. The artist book was published in collaboration with Hammann Von Mier Verlag, Munich in association with the video installation Projection on the Crisis (Gauweilereien in Munich), 2014, by Philipp Gufler.
