Meeting with Lina Lazaar: Presentation\/Lecture on Kamel Lazaar Foundation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lina Lazaar gave an insight information about the development of the art scene in the MENA region for the last two decades by also navigating through Kamel Lazaar Foundation’s projects. KLF <\/strong>has initiated a number of cultural and artistic actions and projects whose local and regional effects put forward the vitality of the cultural scene in the MENA region. As part of its cultural policy which aims to support artistic creation and culture in the MENA region, KLF also supports a number of projects by providing grants. She also talked about B7L9’s annual programme of artistic and cultural events. B7LG<\/strong> is the first art station in Tunis located in a rural suburb. Finally, she introduced and talked about the KLF’s collection, which encompasses over 1000 works of Arab art across all mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting with Jonatan Habib Engqvist: Presentation\/Lecture and Peer to peer Tutorial<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

He shared some thoughts from inside the process of working with Marrakesh-based artist \u00c9ric Van Hove and the Fenduq workshop over several years within the framework of the international and interregional project New Sm\u00e5land (2015-2020), where the one-year-long exhibition Fenduq<\/em> in Vandalorum in Southern Sweden (2020-2021) serves as a platform in the development of the Mahjouba Initiative<\/em> and a subsequent think tank. Here, traditional Moroccan craftsmanship meets state of the art app development, 3D printing, and industrial production to result in the first Moroccan-made moped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During the past year they have been struggling to complete the fourth prototype in collaboration with Moroccan, international and Sm\u00e5land craftsmen in dialogue with local businesses. Their hope is that the project can inspire similar initiatives around the world and further a debate around the idea that the end products of the future to a greater extent not only can, but indeed need to be manufactured locally, on a small scale and with fewer intermediaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a virtual visit to Ebru Kurbak’s studio at the Angewandte. By navigating through her current FWF Elise Richter PEEK project “The Museum of Lost Technology”, Ebru elaborated on a wide range of possible modes of production between research-led art practice and practice-led research. We also discussed the funding frameworks and she gave tips on outlining proposals to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture by Charles Esche<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Charles Esche: <\/strong>The lecture looks at what it means to demodernise a modern art museum, focusing on examples from the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven. The idea of demodernising in this context is understood as an appropraite response to decolonial thinking from within the core of western colonising culture. What does it mean to steo away from the \u201cmodern matrix of thought\u201d in art and to look back at the very partial (though universalized) archive of modernist art and artists to experience them anew today. The lecture will look at specific examples of exhibitions that have attempted to demodernise art within the overall ideas of decoloniality and also at how museums might chart a demodern practice into the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
