SiteSpecific Art workshop: Taking Site! @ IMC5533

The “Taking Site!” project will consist of a workshop
about site-specificity with participants at 5533 Istanbul
between April 21 and May 04, 2013 and a simultaneous
exhibition “in progress” at D21 art space Leipzig. Artists
and curators from Turkey, Germany, China, USA and
Russia will meet at 5533, broaching the issue of their
experiences and the problematics of site, in theory and
practice. Via livestream the spaces are connected and
lectures and performances can be experienced by the
public at 5533 and D21 art space. Rather than showing
relicts of a finished process, the exhibition at D21 art
space will accumulate in a process.

The workshop is seeking for the potential of site-specific
art. Our current concepts of society, nation and city rely
on sedentariness, but today´s increasing mobility challenges
these concepts. Tourists and migrants are generally
relieved from rights and duties of a governmental
politic. Political subjectivity usually vanishes with the
liberation of site. A status as a political subject – can this
issue be raised, claimed and transferred to others, by
artists and their work at an “alien” place? What could be
site-specificity today?
“Taking Site!” is a cooperation between 5533 art space
Istanbul and D21 Kunstraum Leipzig.
