The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka announces an

OPEN CALL

for artworks

for the exhibition Black Disguises, which after the exhibition Between There and There. The anatomy of temporary migrations (MMSU, 2017) will be held as the second part of the EU project Risk Change.

The artistic-research project and the exhibition Black Disguises thematises economic migrations as a collective phenomenon, dealing with their causes, incentives, consequences and relationships between migrants and inhabitants on the level of everyday life. The emphasis is on the population as the main object of biopolitics that is constantly under suspicion, surveillance, supervision, which express the migratory processes as the appearance of a state of exception. Led by the ideas of a state of exception, the project focuses upon the theme of excess as the suspension of the legal state and the rule of law. Excess is defined in a broad glossary: by the overstepping of authority, the crossing of a regular border, the violation of a measure or legislation. In doing so, the differences between repression and freedom, militancy and peacefulness, correctness, and corruption and blackmail, become hazy, and the state of exception of everyday practice. With a foothold in social philosophy as well as everyday experience, Black Disguises combine migratory, working and economic issues, focussing on the field of migration as a place of constantly emerging excess.

The exhibition explores the fictitious and physical potentials of conflicting social situations as a catalyst of change. It is attempting to imagine the space outside all spaces, as a possible solution for the newly-created excessive conditions in the wake of excessive mobility. Amongst the key issues, the following stand out:

Migrations – for whom are they excessive and in relation to what?
Does the controlling of migration and the limitation of excess assume the grasp for repressive measures, the activation of pure violence?

Black Disguises also attempts to divert attention to the suspicious economic-political decisions and the questionable sovereignty in relation to the condition in the labour market. The footholds make renewed discussions about the appropriation of the surplus of work and the enforcement of marketability, then the processes of social stratification conditioned by continuous borrowing and the monopoly of a profit-oriented culture. In doing so, as a fundamental imbalance the inverted relationship between the mobility and reproducibility of capital is emphasised versus the agglomeration of useless surpluses, into which, in the conditions of a deregulated market, the growing masses enter whose mobility has no connection with free choice.

The artworks will be chosen by a five-member jury – MMSU curators Ksenija Orelj, Sabina Salamon, Nataša Šuković, Marina Tkalčić, and Renato Stanković (Cultural studies at the University of Rijeka). The chosen works will be presented in the exhibition, which will be held from 8^th December 2017 until 22^nd February 2018 in MMSU.

Muzej moderne i suvremene umjetnosti u Rijeci objavljuje

JAVNI POZIV

za umjetničke radove

na izložbi Crne krabulje koja se, nakon izložbe Između tamo i tamo: Anatomija privremenih migracija (MMSU, 2017.), održava kao druga epizoda EU projekta RISK CHANGE.

Više o projektu na poveznci: https://riskchangeproject.wordpress.com/

Umjetničko-istraživački projekt i izložba Crne krabulje tematizira ekonomske migracije kao kolektivni fenomen, baveći se njihovim uzrocima, povodima, posljedicama i odnosima između migranata i stanovnika na razini svakodnevnog života. Naglasak je na stanovništvu kao glavnom objektu biopolitke koji je konstantno pod sumnjom, prismotrom, nadzorom, što izražavaju migracijski procesi kao nastupanje izvanrednog stanja. Poveden idejama o izvanrednom stanju, projekt u fokus stavlja temu ekscesa kao suspenzije pravne države i bezakonja. Eksces je definiran širokim pojmovnikom: prekoračenjem ovlasti, prijelazom redovne granice, prestupanjem mjere ili propisa. Pritom, razlike između represije i slobode, militantnosti i miroljubivosti, korektnosti te korupcije i ucjene, postaju maglovite, a izvanredno stanje svakodnevna praksa. S uporištem u socijalnoj filozofiji kao i svakodnevnom iskustvu, Crne krabulje objedinjuju migracijsku, radnu i ekonomsku problematiku, fokusirajući migracijsko polje kao mjesto ekscesa u neprestanom nastajanju.

Izložba istražuje fikcijske i fizičke potencijale konfliktnih društvenih situacija kao katalizatora promjene. Pokušava zamisliti prostor izvan svih prostora, kao moguće rješenje za novonastala ekscesna stanja uslijed prekomjerne mobilnosti. Među ključnim se pitanjima nameću sljedeća:

Migracije – za koga su prekomjerne i u odnosu na što?
Pretpostavlja li kontroliranje migracija i ograničavanje ekscesa posezanje za represivnim mjerama, aktivaciju čistog nasilja?

Crne krabulje, također, nastoje skrenuti pažnju na sumnjive ekonomsko-političke odluke i upitnu suverenost u odnosu na stanje na tržištu rada. Uporišta čine obnovljene rasprave o prisvajanju viška rada i nametanju utrživosti, potom procesi socijalnog raslojavanja uvjetovanog neprestanim zaduživanjem i monopolom profitno orijentirane kulture. Pritom, kao temeljni nesrazmjer naglašava se izvrnut odnos između pokretljivosti i obnovljivosti kapitala naspram aglomeracije neupotrebljivih viškova, u koje u uvjetima dereguliranog tržišta ulazi rastuće mnoštvo čija pokretljivost nema veze sa slobodnim izborom.

Umjetničke radove birat će peteročlani žiri – MMSU kustosice Ksenija Orelj, Sabina Salamon, Nataša Šuković, Marina Tkalčić i Renato Stanković (Kulturalni studiji Sveučilišta u Rijeci).
