Following on from the event series “Relations” initiated by The Golden Pixel Cooperative (GPC) in 2018, which focused on contemporary forms of appropriation art primarily as dialogical relations, GPC has collectively written a text that will be staged as a performance during the symposium “Altered Affairs”. Together, the members of the cooperative search for pre- and after-images, share perspectives on the world and work, develop counter-narrations and the potentials for resistance. GPC speculates on a feminist future.

#Altered Affairs
09.10.2019–11.10.2019
IFK KUNSTUNIVERSITÄT LINZ / KUNSTUNIVERSITÄT LINZ / VALIE EXPORT CENTER

We take the centennial anniversary of the introduction of women’s suffrage as an opportunity to reflect on altered affairs. Where do we stand today when it comes to emancipation and equality? How have power relations, politics, institutions, knowledge, and art changed? What are the current challenges under these altered circumstances? Which artists, scientists, and ideas have inspired and shaped this present? And who inspires us today?

What was and is the utopian potential of the demand for equal participation? Which promises concerning freedom and justice, which opportunities for solidarity have we inherited, and which must be reinvented? The conference will formulate historical, systematic, and speculative responses. Those will be connected with individual and collective experiences as respondents speak to their own development, role models, and hopes for the future.

Participants: Marie-Luise Angerer, Julia Scher, Jaskaran Anand, Robert Steijn, Martina Gugglberger, Julia Grillmayr, Gudrun Rath, VALIE EXPORT, Sabine Folie, Susanna Schönberg, Martha Wilson, The Golden Pixel Cooperative, Yasmo
