Pélagie Gbaguidi

Pélagie Gbaguidi (from Benin, born in Dakar in 1965), lives and works in Brussels. Gbaguidi calls herself a contemporary “Griot.” A “Griot” questions the individual as he or she moves through life by absorbing the words of the ancients and modeling them like a ball of fat that they place in the stomach of each passer-by with the ingredients of the day. In the practical sense, it breaks the commonplace rhythm by inserting subtle incidents integrating its part of eternity. Her work is an anthology of signs and traces on the trauma. In fact, it is one of her recurrent subjects, evidenced by the acquisition of 100 drawings of the Code Noir (1685) series at the Memorial Act in Guadeloupe. Her focus of interest is centered on the colonial and postcolonial archives and on the unmasking of the process of forgetting in history. This readjustment of the imaginary arouses in the artist the urgency to give it form, a writing of liberating images and a corpus to draw contemporary forms. This contributes to the process of transforming relationships for necessary, sustainable ethics.

Gbaguidi has participated in numerous international exhibitions such as: “Biennale of Dakar” (Senegal) 2004, 2006, 2008, 2014, 2018; “Asyl Stadtmuseum,” Stadtmuseum, Munich (Germany) 2013; “Divine Comedy: Heaven, Hell, Purgatory Revisited by Contemporary African Artists,” MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt (Germany) 2014 and at the National Museum of African Art – Smithsonian Institution, Washington (USA) 2015; “El iris de Lucy,” Musac, Castilla y León (Spain) 2016 and at the Musée Rouchechouart, (France) 2016, and at CAAM (Spain) 2017. She participated in documenta 14 in Athens and Kassel, and contributed to the book “Why Are We ‘Artists’? 100 World Art Manifestos” by Jessica Lack, 2017. In 2018, she received a scholarship from the Civitella Ranieri Foundation. In 2019, she participated in “Decolonizing the Body” at Eternal Network Gallery in France, at the Lubumbashi Biennale, and exhibited at the Frohner Museum (Austria). In 2020, she participated in the current Berlin Biennale.

Temporary Academy of Arts

The Temporary Academy of Arts was initiated by Elpida Karaba in 2014. PAT (the abbreviation of Temporary Academy of Arts) is a mobile academy of arts and at the same time an art project of experimental education that adopts mechanisms from various systems of knowledge and art practices for the production and transmission of artistic programs and the construction of their historicity. PAT is a para-institution engaged with a range of activities involved in different levels of institution affiliations. It depends on an ‘expanded’ curating, incorporating exhibitions, events and publishing projects persistently addressing the relationship of art and its institutions, the labour involved and the public.

The Academy is working upon different educational, artistic and social models and adopts a research based and multidisciplinary approach to knowledge production, in order to investigate the boundaries, permeabilities and repressed contradictions that underlie public spaces. Rather than being merely an educational platform or an art school, PAT functions as an analytical tool, concentrating on spatial and institutional criticism. PAT’s projects, combine the symbolic with the mediated and the tactical in order to examine art and its production, inquire on the status and potential of art to address the urban condition and to question the mechanisms of producing and framing knowledge.

In each project of the Academy, different artists and theorists are invited as educators, visitors or as consultants to organize and carry out the outcome of the project while different modes of art and educational practice are used, such as workshops, discussions, interviews, performances, (re)enactments etc.

Akkordeon #2

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

p o s t documenta: contemporary arts as territorial agencies is an educational and artistic research program of intercultural exchange among students and academic staff from the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig and the Athens School of Fine Arts. Conceived as a platform for experimental modes of art education, research, production, and dissemination, the program engages with the challenges of our current condition through collaborative praxis and critical discourse. Over the course of three years the project will encompass a wide range of activities and formats, including workshops, talks, publications, podcasts, online projects, and exhibitions.

The starting point of the program is a praxis-oriented, critical examination of the legacy of documenta 14. The territorial expansion of documenta to Athens in 2017 – the first time this mega-exhibition took place equally in a city other than Kassel – can be understood as a gesture of solidarity, albeit with postcolonial implications. d14 highlighted contradictions that are inherent in the art field, and exemplified the fragile interfaces between contemporary society and artist communities.

Art and cultural institutions are strategically relevant actors in territorial and spatial policies that transcend local, interlocal, and international levels. The related restructuring of urban living spaces, as a source of opportunities but also as a stress factor, is a constant companion of our city life, with the resulting gentrification often being redirected against the actors themselves. Much like in Berlin in the 1990s, artists in Leipzig and Athens have been contributing to a virulent urban development.

In the context of late capitalist economy and as a consequence of the global circulation of goods, extensive mobility, intensive digitalization, and widespread connectivity, we are experiencing a cosmopolitanism that leads to an accelerated diversification of bodies, spaces and territories. Tourism and the international art and culture industries do not only encourage desirable social interactions, increased mobility, and enhanced visibility, but also contribute significantly to the exploitation of the planet’s resources, with serious impact on the environment.

The climate crisis makes it necessary to ask ourselves what are the effects of our internationally networked system. Based on the concept of the “interlocal,” the two art academies and their respective local art scenes – as parts of the international art industry structure – are to be brought closer together to engage with one another in critical reflection on the implications of our actions as “agents” and to test alternative methods in practice. Over a period of three years, a temporary, mobile and experimental network is to be established between the two art schools, engaging with the local art scenes of both cities.

In view of ongoing social and political “crises,” whether financial, refugee, climate, or coronavirus, we ask: What and how can we learn from each other to overcome this stage? What and how can we learn together to set the foundations for our future artistic-cultural professional field beyond our studies? What formats and strategies of collective and individual artistic practices are available to us? How can we use our toolkits to contribute to a more sustainable and socially just world? How can dystopian thinking be transformed into positive forces for a common future? What is and remains relevant in art making?

Several Jagged Lines through Space

The video essay “Several Jagged Lines through Space,” compiles source material, artworks, and research that responds to my ongoing research question: is Exarcheia an island? I take a psychogeographic and participant-observer approach to the Athenian neighborhood, and my research takes the form of interviews, archival research of media images to re-narrate minor histories, and on-site recordings in video, sound, and analog photography.

The artworks are speculative landscapes, natural histories, and not-the-news. They seek to perform an ontology of “crisis,” by asking what is in crisis and for whom. The artworks also investigate spaces and modes of confrontation between constituent (and destituent) power and State power, and particularly how this is expressed spatially. This video essay is an intentionally fragmentary and episodic behind-the-scenes look at how my most recent work is made, as well as a meditation on the present of being a political subject while dwelling.

– Eirene Efstathiou

Through a psychogeographic and participant-observer approach to the Athenian neighborhood of Exarcheia, Eirene Efstathiou’s artistic research takes the form of interviews, archival research of media images to re-narrate minor histories, and on-site recordings in video, sound, and analog photography.
