AS IF IT'S JUST ABOUT TO HAPPEN
is a collaborative writing project initiated by Litó Walkey, Florian Feigl, Sheena McGrandles and Britta Wirthmüller with drawings by Tabea Xenia Magyar and 50 contributions from colleagues, HZT students and alumni A series of 4 books extending from four HZT workshops, asking: What persists through the entanglement of artistic and pedagogic practices? What was and is the workshop 'doing', and what can we create with it now? How does a structure of excerpts, footnotes, invitations and responses produce a new order of connectivity? How do processes of selectivity, discontinuity and proliferation invite experiences of what is still creating itself as if it's just about to happen? THE WORKSHOP: Who’s the party now, sister? In January 2016 Britta Wirthmüller, Sheena McGrandles and a group of second and third year BA HZT students worked off-campus in three spaces of the gallery secondhome projects in Berlin Wedding. The emphasis was to research and re-perform invisible, peripheral, forgotten and censored works, artists and practices from the feminist art movement in the 1960s and 70s. The workshop tied together, investigative-style research, story- telling, feminist practices and archive building; visual, performative and audio. Individual and collective modes of re-doing, re-appropriating, re-enacting, tribute acts and artistic responses engaged the politics ofredoing the already done, through asking, What gets remembered, what gets forgotten, by whom and how? The workshop culminated in a public event, presenting re-tellings and re-doings that emerged from the research. |
