Curating Video

为了从我们以前的合作研究项目Episode [AH/D 000831/1]中开发一个链，策展视频通过关注视频媒体的意识形态力量，探索了群展视频策展的新可能性。通过这个项目，我们旨在测试和建立当代艺术中视频策展的新形式和态度。当前建筑学、社会学、媒体研究、文化理论和政治哲学领域的讨论探讨了政治和文化如何相互构建小说，将我们共同的经历表达为社区和社会性的时刻。其中包括Jacques Ranciere关于"感性的分布“（Politics and Aesthetics，2004），Anthony Vidler的”建筑的扩展领域“（Artforum International，2004年4月），以及Jon Jerde的”体验性场所营造“。这些转变导致了艺术品策展的新态度和策展形式的新诠释。特别是，它们导致了对策展作为一种批判性实践的强调，策展被认为是当代生产的一部分/作为实验和扩展。这已经反映在目前研究生和研究水平的策展研究的多样性以及英国和国外广泛的艺术家运营空间中。将这项研究用于公共空间的策展以及其中文化的影响，我们的目标是提出新的批评实践策展的视频工作在群展形式，思考影像作品和它们所占据的建筑空间之间的关系。在这里，我们的研究提出了一个问题：在多大程度上，视频可以作为建筑的一个方面来体验，也就是说，稳定的，物质的和基于对象的？在此之后，它如何将自己确立为我们生活现实的一部分？它在多大程度上分享了建筑形式的意识形态力量？和;这种画廊环境的概念和转变如何质疑社会空间作为真实性，真实性和真理的场所的公认理解？这些在方法论上的变化，对美学和政治的新批评，以及当前视频艺术作品的激增，都证明了对视频策展的新过程和新解释的测试需求。我们提出的研究成果如下：展览：为了开展这项研究，我们将在德国汉堡的KX画廊策划一个展览。这将包括艺术家阿曼达比奇，皮埃尔比什，贾斯帕约瑟夫莱斯特和罗马瓦瑟尔四个单屏幕视频作品。我们策展的关键是创造一个特定的建筑环境，在这个环境中观看作品。这将回应每一个单独的艺术品和画廊的架构。研讨会：我们将邀请来自领先的艺术家，策展人，作家和学者的论文，探讨艺术实践中的研究方法，分享一系列领域的研究，并就研究项目的主题进行进一步的辩论。文件编制/传播：将对该项目进行文件编制，包括专题讨论会的译文，并将为今后的出版物做好准备。我们将在UAL，谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学和埃塞克斯大学的专用大学网页上发布正在进行的整理文档。策划视频的新策略的发展2。与英国和国外的大学和画廊建立紧密联系3。向更广泛的专家和公众传播教育学的新研究成果4。这项研究的未来发展将成为一系列国际展览、研讨会和出版物5。通过基于实践的研究和出版写作，发展和分享关于策展与公共和社会空间政治之间关系的新批评。

In order to develop one strand from our previous collaborative research project Episode [AH/D000831/1], Curating Video explores new possibilities for the curation of group video exhibitions by focussing on the ideological force of video media when it is understood as having substantial material form.Through this project we aim to test and establish new forms and attitudes to the curation of video in contemporary art. Current discourse across the fields of architecture, sociology, media studies, cultural theory and political philosophy have explored how both politics and culture mutually construct fictions that articulate our shared experiences as moments of community and sociality. These include Jacques Ranciere on 'the distribution of the sensible' (Politics and Aesthetics, 2004), Anthony Vidler's 'Architecture's Expanded Field' (Artforum International, April, 2004), and Jon Jerde's Experiential Placemaking.These shifts have led to new attitudes in curating artworks and new interpretations of curatorial form. In particular they have led to an emphasis on curating as a critical practice, where curating is considered to be part of contemporary production / as experimental and expanded. This has been reflected in the current diversity of curatorial study at postgraduate and research level and a broad range of artist run spaces in the UK and abroad.Taking this research to the curation of public spaces and the affect of culture within them, we aim to propose new critical practices for the curation of video work in group exhibition formats by re-thinking the relationship between video works and the architectural space that they occupy. Here our research asks; to what extent can video be experienced as a facet of architecture, that is, stable, material and object-based? Following on from this, how does it establish itself as part of our lived reality? To what extent does it share the ideological power of architectural form? And; how does this conception and transformation of the gallery environment question the received understanding of social space as a site of authenticity, reality and truth? These visible changes in methodology, new critiques on aesthetics and politics, and the current proliferation of video artworks, evidences a need to test new processes and interpretations of video curation.Our proposed research outputs are as follows: Exhibition:In order to carry out this research we will curate an exhibition at KX Gallery Hamburg, Germany. This will feature four single screen video works from artists Amanda Beech, Pierre Bismuth, Jaspar Joseph-Lester, and Roman Vasseur. Key to our curation is the production of a specific architectural environment within which to view the works. This will respond both to each individual artwork and to the gallery architecture. Symposium:We will invite papers from leading artists, curators, writers, and academics to explore research methodology in art practice, to share research across a range of fields, and to generate further debate on the themes of the research project. Documentation/Dissemination:The project will be documented, including transcriptions from the symposium, and will be prepared for future publication. We will publish ongoing collated documentation on dedicated University WebPages across UAL, Sheffield Hallam University, and Essex University.We anticipate that the applications and benefits of this project will be: 1. The development of new strategies for curating video2. The establishment of strong links with universities and galleries in the UK and abroad3. The dissemination of new research in pedagogy to wider specialist and public audiences4. The future development of this research into a series of international exhibitions, symposia and publication5. The development and sharing of new critiques on the relationship between curating and the politics of public and social space through practice-based research and published writing.
