aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen zu verschiedenen Handlungen angestiftet und
schließlich in den Suizid geleitet. Unter dem Hashtag #curatorfindme hatten

Clickbaits ködern tagtäglich die Aufmerksamkeit von Nutzerinnen im
Internet. Nicht selten simulieren sie dabei skandalöse Inhalte und tatsächliche
Sensationen. Anlässlich einer Ausstellungseröffnung im Kasseler
Regierungspräsidium hatte Schomburg 2017 einen eigenen Köder ausgeworfen und zu
einer Blowjob-Performance geladen. Die anwesenden Vertreter der Presse waren
ihrer Ankündigung zunächst neugierig gefolgt und fanden die Künstlerin
schließlich beim Aufblasen eines großformatigen Schwimmtiers vor. Das Motiv der
Badeinsel, ein Einhorn, verbindet dabei die Selbstdarstellung junger Frauen im
Internet, welche sich dort an der Seite des Spielzeuges als attraktiv und
abenteuerlustig auszeichnen, mit älteren Mythologien. In der Fantasy-Erzählung
»Das letzte Einhorn« beispielsweise begegnet eine allein unter Männern in der
Wildnis lebende Räuberin dem zauberhaften Tier und verhandelt an seiner Seite
Reinheitsvorstellungen weiblicher Sexualität.
Clickbaits attract the attention of
Internet users every day. They often simulate scandalous content and actual
sensations. On the occasion of the opening of an exhibition opening in the
Kassel Regional Council in 2017, Schomburg cast his her own bait in 2017 and
invited to a blowjob performance. The present representatives of the press who
were present had followed her announcement curiously at first and finally found
the artist blowing up a large-format floating animal. The motif of Tthe bathing
island, is formed as a unicorn.,This combines the self-portrayal of young women
distinguishing themselves as attractive and adventurous at the side of a toy
ion the iInternet, who distinguish themselves as attractive and adventurous on
the side of the toy, with significantly older mythologies. In the fantasy
narrative "The Last Unicorn,", for example, a female robber living
alone among men in the wilderness encounters the magical animal and negotiates
purity ideas of female purity and sexuality at its side.

Die MitarbeiterInnen des
Regierungspräsidiums Kassel wählen auf dem Rundgang der Universität Kassel
jährlich ihre Favoriten für die „Interventionen“ aus, einer Kunstausstellung in
den Fluren ihres Gebäudes. Zur Documenta 2017 wurde dieses Prinzip verändert
und der Ausstellungsplatz ein herausragende Alumni der Universität Kassel vergeben. Ann
Schomburg entschied sich ‚ihren’ Ausstellungsplatz in einer kollektiven Geste
an ihre KollegInnen weiterzugeben. Sie fügten ihre Arbeit mit Werken von 14
weiteren KünstlerInnen zusammen. Damit kommentierte Schomburg nicht nur den
Druck des Wettbewerbs, sondern auch das politikstrategische Kalkül derlei
gönnerischer Ausstellungseinladungen. Mit einem weiteren Detail der
Wandinstallation verschärfte die Künstlerin diese Kritik: In einer jovialen
Geste setzte Schomburg den in der Gruppenausstellung unterrepräsentierten
männlichen Künstlern mit einzelnen, leeren Bildrahmen aus Klebeband ein
Denkmal. Die Reaktion des Veranstalters, der bald in die Werkauswahl eingriff, ist ein relevanter Teil der Arbeit und in
ihre Dokumentation eingeflossen.

Every year on the tour of the University of
Kassel, the staff of the Kassel Regional Council selects their favourites for
the "Interventions", an art exhibition in the corridors of their
building. For Documenta 2017, this principlethe concept was changed and the
exhibition space was given to an outstanding alumni of the University of
Kassel. Ann Schomburg decided to pass on 'her' exhibition space to her
colleagues in a collective gesture. They She combined their her work with works
by 14 other artists. Schomburg thus commented not only on the pressure of the
competition, but also on the political and-strategic calculation of such
patronizing exhibition invitations. With Aanother detail of the wall
installation, the artist intensified this the artist’s criticism: in a jovial
gesture, Schomburg set a monument to the group exhibition’s the
underrepresented male artists underrepresented in the group exhibition with by
adding individual, empty picture frames made of adhesive tape. The reaction of
the organizer, who soon intervened in the selection of works, is a relevant
part of the work and has become a part offlowed into its documentation.

Warum eigentlich sehen wir weltweit nur die 20 zentralen Kunstpositionen oder ihre Variationen durch fleißige Kunststudierende, Künstler und Künstlerinnen ... wo doch in den Schubladen, Wohnzimmern oder den verlassenen Schweineställen der Republik die spannenden Werke „der Anderen“ liegen, derer, die im Glücksspiel Kunst ausgeschieden oder schlicht übersehen worden sind: unbeachtete Meisterwerke, ignoriert und zum Verstauben verurteilt. Versteckt sich nicht längst die Kunst mit Seele in den Werken der Autodidakten und Zurückgezogenen? „Die Bilder der Anderen“ ist ein Anfang, ein erster Schritt in die Wahrheit der Authentizität oder in den Sumpf der Artikulationslosigkeit.

Games with Frontiers A two-day symposium organised by the artist Philip Kojo Metz in English
On 29 and 30 October, diverse perspectives surrounding Philip Kojo Metz’s project, The Mimicry Games, will be offered and its broader themes addressed by an interdisciplinary series of presenters including Ann Schomburg, Stefanie Sylla, Ismal Duá, Monika Kalinauskaitė, Sascha Boldt and Zeina Idris.
Taking football as the medium – within the context of the UEFA European Championship – The Mimicry Games approaches the history of European colonization of Africa by forming a visual and physical connection between the sport and this history. Shifting the location of the European Cup to its colonial counterpart on the African continent, the project places African football players in competition against each other, while uniformed in the national team jerseys of their former colonizers. As the 2016 European Cup was held in France, The Mimicry Games were carried out in Senegal, a former French colony, and were internationally and intercontinentally broadcasted and discussed in a series of public viewings and studio talks. Through this widely accessible game that establishes connections on an international scale, the work addresses notions of national identity, processes of cultural exchange, mimesis and the remnants of a colonial past.
Contributions on the first day of the symposium will consider the relationships and interactions between the African and European continents. On the second day, the presentations will expand the scope of the topic, examining possible parallels in other cultures and continents.

Join us for the second production in Decad's new storefront.
'Community-Based' presents a series of long-term, socially-engaged projects realised by artists and other cultural workers, specifically located in Berlin. At the opening, the work of six collectives will be presented, and over the course of the following ten weeks, artists and works will progressively be added. A corresponding lecture programme will ensue. In keeping with the exhibition's title, this ongoing collection of materials will rely on community-based research in a move to supplement the already published and well-known works in this genre of community-based art production. At the end of the exhibition's run, all materials will be added to Decad's growing archive on the social place of art.
Immediately prior to the opening reception, the artist Mathilde ter Heijne will speak on her work in Decad's Hinterhaus lecture space. Ter Heijne is one of the primary six artists to be included in 'Community-Based'. Her artist talk will begin at 18:00. The reception is scheduled to run from 19:00 to 22:00
This is our 5th late night installment of I AM DYNAMITE! - a show that brings the strongest voices of change and positive empowerment to the stage. This month we tackle VOTING - DOES YOUR VOTE MATTER? ARE WE A DEMOCRACY? What is happening around the world?
Our public speakerss will give you their raw, honest, funny and sometimes tragic art - for your entertainment!
LINE UP: Faye Goldsmith (GREAT BRITAIN) is an academic, food blogger and activist who has a focus on refugee and feminist issues. She's setting up a project to tackle sexual violence in Berlin.
Richard Garbutt (GREAT BRITAIN) is a technologist, writer and comdian. He's currently trying to overturn Brexit one poem at a time and invent an ethical version of Facebook.
Fridey Mickel (USA) is a writer who has been fascinated with political ethics since the age of nine. At 20, she supported UN diplomats in setting up and running various NGOs and political campaigns. With her „Context is Half the Work“ column at the TAZ, she uses interviews with celebrities and other personalities to examine everyday ethics and the moral dance between personal intuition and status quo.
Ann Schomburg (GERMANY) is a Berlin-based artist whose origins started in parliamentary politics, but she decided to switch her career to fine arts, to formulate observations of society in an artistic expression using the real life experience. She uses her own person as an example of real life, where art and life are in a symbiotic relationship. The consistent comparison of the various reactions to the “reality performance” and her art are a relevant focus of research. Schomburg’s interest is to undermine ways using a very own system of logic to reinterpret settled systems.
Rachman Blake (USA) is a New York City storyteller, filmmaker, and world traveler. He's performed in five languages, 15 countries, and at comedy festivals all over the globe.
