In this exposition, David Goldenberg presents us with a site-specific project entitled
The Transformation of Art, the ideal outcome of his recent research into the development of
Post Autonomy space as a privileged venue for the renovation of artistic and cultural language.
Goldenberg’s research sets out from the proposition that the structure of contemporary
artistic production, as part of a Eurocentric artistic tradition, is suffering from a profound crisis,
both financial and cultural. Goldenberg, who has repeatedly denounced this status quo,
maintains that it manifests itself particularly as a crisis of language. Following an extended
conceptual reflection which resulted in the continuous inhabiting of the Post Autonomy Space,
the ideal venue for free and autonomous research, the artist now suggests a number of
solutions for its renewal: in Participating Cultures, which are ‘involved in creating new concepts
for their cultures, which are linked neither to the past nor to Western Modernism, but to
concepts which are as of yet unknown’.
The Participating Cultures are present in the creative space of the exhibition by means
of a participatory practice expressed in a program of online debates and activities which,
through the production of mental maps, text works and diagrams, seeks to trace a way out
of the current state of impasse and disorientation. The map is the primary symbol of this
attempt at reform which, by stepping outside of the cultural model of the Biennial, finds in the
reciprocal relationship between European and non-European cultures the basic elements for
reinventing cultural structures and reformulating the goals and objectives of Contemporary Art
as such.

The exhibition PERSONAL STRUCTURES is part of an international art project. It was
initiated in 2002 by the Dutch artist Rene Rietmeyer, who noticed that even in the most
distant corners of the world, there are artists working with Time - Space and Existence,
thereby expressing themselves in a very personal way. This observation led to the idea of
bringing several of these artists together in publications, exhibitions and symposia.

Brief outline 

 

Scenarios of Post Autonomy 2 - using the exhibition to trigger a discussion

 

Now that the exhibition “The Scenarios of Post autonomy” is in place, we can go on to the next stage and look at how to use the material facts of the exhibition itself to assist us to think about clarifying the term Post Autonomy and make it understandable!

The Scenarios of Post Autonomy uses the term Post Autonomy to address the existing state of affairs - as though we already exist in a state of Post Autonomy - whether the break down of our freedoms and attacks against the institution of art, or the use of Post Autonomy as a fiction, as a proposition, that we can use to start to build a new art, a second history of art.

The exhibition sought two basic issues: how to visualise what is understood by Post Autonomy as a discourse examining Biennials, globalisation and colonisation, and using the image of a Mobile Documenta as a route out of the problems inherent to Modernism and the backdrop that we all work in.

The exhibition proposes a number of claims - because we have not addressed the fundamental problems at the heart of Modernism i.e. its role in globalisation and colonisation; the claim that we have art, language and thinking is an illusion, and this problem is made more complex today through the existence of Global Neo Liberalism, that has absorbed all positions and thinking. By using the labour of establishing the position of Post Autonomy, we can establish just such a position that allows us to propose a critique of the existing state of affairs, and to look at recovering thinking and a language and build a second history of art along fundamentally new principles.

If we understand the use of Post Autonomy as a route out of the problems posed by Modernism and a means of not repeating those problems and establishing a new art, then how do we use the different threads of thinking developed throughout the exhibition to clarify the context that allows us to ask the following basic questions: How do we think about Post Autonomy? How do we pose a question about Post Autonomy? And how do we search for the language of Post Autonomy?

 

The talks will then lead to The scenarios of Post autonomy 3 - In search of Post Autonomy a collaborative series of random talks and new drawing and texts in different sites around Milan

 

*David Goldenberg is looking for collaborators to work on this part of the project.

Gentile David Goldenberg, con questa e-mail la galleria Glenda Cinquegrana: the Studio ha il piacere di invitarla alla performance di                      DAVID GOLDENBERG               In search of Post Autonomy                                                        Palazzo Isimbardi Corso Monforte 35, I -20122 Milano. PERFORMANCE: domenica 25 novembre 2012, dalle ore 10,00 alle 18,00. CON IL PATROCINIO DELLA PROVINCIA DI MILANO.  La galleria Glenda Cinquegrana: The Studio è lieta di presentare In search of Post Autonomy, la prima performance di David Goldenberg a Milano, in cui l’artista inglese, nel corso di una sessione della durata di otto ore, completa e definisce il progetto di ricerca concettuale apertosi con la mostra intitolata The Scenarios of Post Autonomy, che si è tenuta in galleria dal 18 settembre al 18 ottobre 2012. L’evento In search of Post Autonomy consiste in una forma di riflessione concettuale sul fulcro della sua ricerca, che Goldenberg suole definire Post Autonomy, intesa come momento di libertà di creazione, che è la naturale soluzione all’attuale crisi di pensiero, e di cui l’artista cerca di individuare una nuova forma di linguaggio. In relazione a questa performance, che ha sede nella splendida sala degli Affreschi di Palazzo Isimbardi e nello spazio del porticato quattrocentesco, l’Assessore Moda, Eventi, Expo Silvia Garnero ha dichiarato:        "La Provincia di Milano è orgogliosa di ospitare l'artista David Goldenberg e offrire la splendida cornice di Palazzo Isimbardi, quale palcoscenico d'eccezione per la performance artistica di questo grande artista londinese. Goldenberg rappresenta una ‘voce fuori dal coro’ del sistema dell'arte, una coscienza critica votata a scardinare l'idea stessa di Arte: ne decreta la fine per poi rifondarlaabbandonando le convenzioni degli spazi e del tempo che all'Arte tradizionalmente vengono dedicati." Nel corso di questo evento, Goldenberg utilizza il pubblico come strumento per la creazione di un nuovo linguaggio artistico, tramite la progressiva realizzazione di un disegno-testo di grandi dimensioni sul pavimento della sala, e impiegando una videocamera come testimone dell'attività che si sviluppa nelle corso delle otto ore di attività performativa. In un’altra parte della sala, invece, un computer portatile connesso a Skype metterà in comunicazione la performance con diversi artisti invitati a partecipare sulla base dell’osservazione dello spazio e della produzione collaborativa del disegno. In allegato il Comunicato Stampa della performance, contente il programma della giornata e l'invito.  Comunicato Stampa   (PDF - 297 KB) -    INVITO (JPG - 78 KB)        un'immagine del cortile porticato, courtesy Provincia di Milano.

Transcript of skype discussion

 

[25/11/2012 10:56:07] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: It is about finding new means of exploration in finding or being open to new interpretations of what you are already doing
[25/11/2012 10:59:30] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: There is also a difference between the written and the spoken language, that might be important in this method of searching via drawing and writing
[25/11/2012 11:03:58] post-autonomy: thats an interesting point you are making
[25/11/2012 11:04:22] post-autonomy: what do you think spoken language can do, and written language can't
[25/11/2012 11:04:45] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: Well, it is different parts of the brain working..
[25/11/2012 11:05:44] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: Also in accordance to what you remember, what is lost. Memory is connected in different ways to writing and speaking.
[25/11/2012 11:07:47] post-autonomy: true
[25/11/2012 11:07:54] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: So what is the body in this search. What is the voice as a body between the physical body and the space surrounding the body. How do you write what you sound like and does the unconscious sounds that we make when speaking, record them selves in writing
[25/11/2012 11:07:55] post-autonomy: speaking is also evanescent
[25/11/2012 11:08:01] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: yes
[25/11/2012 11:08:27] post-autonomy: great, we will add all that
[25/11/2012 11:08:58] post-autonomy: i am also thinking that the remembrance of spoken language is bound to alter it
[25/11/2012 11:09:12] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: yes. I agree.
[25/11/2012 11:09:17] post-autonomy: like when i try to write what you say
[25/11/2012 11:09:34] post-autonomy: it is my understanding of it, and my memory of it
[25/11/2012 11:09:41] post-autonomy: not exactly accurate
[25/11/2012 11:09:54] post-autonomy: and always interpretative
[25/11/2012 11:09:55] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: yes, that is so very interesting. I dont see that as a bad thing.
[25/11/2012 11:10:10] post-autonomy: so that may be a new way of exploring new territory?
[25/11/2012 11:10:19] post-autonomy: through more subjectivity
[25/11/2012 11:10:30] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: Actually, that is in some way, yes, exactly! Just what I was writing
[25/11/2012 11:10:34] post-autonomy: rather than very accurate documentation
[25/11/2012 11:10:40] post-autonomy: true
[25/11/2012 11:10:48] post-autonomy: great!
[25/11/2012 11:10:57] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: :D
[25/11/2012 11:13:47] post-autonomy: can we actually talk about a true loss in art and culture or are we actually talking about a natural errosion of language?
[25/11/2012 11:16:24] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: Do you believe in loss per se? Is language a Constant such as energy which just changes it's shape and size and thus varies in accordance with what we are able to percieve?
[25/11/2012 11:17:50] post-autonomy: i think language as a tool is a representation of things and yes it can vary a lot
[25/11/2012 11:18:35] post-autonomy: the first and most obvious variation is that of the nationality of language...if we talk about spoken language
[25/11/2012 11:18:53] post-autonomy: and meaning changes in translation
[25/11/2012 11:19:23] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: but still I don't know if you could talk about loss..
[25/11/2012 11:20:09] post-autonomy: well we can in so far that language loses its capacity of representing reality accurately because it cannot keep up with it
[25/11/2012 11:20:17] post-autonomy: with all the changes taking place
[25/11/2012 11:23:40] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: When does language ever represent reality? Most of the time, do we even know what we understand as mutual reality. Are we aware of our true reality and do we only think we agree insofar as we could not proceed without that feeling of relating meaningful to each other. I don't think about the language as  representation of reality, more as a representation of experience and that is what I mean by questioning the loss..
[25/11/2012 11:29:27] post-autonomy: i think it is very good that you mention mutual reality because it is in this sphere that the discussion about language takes place. so language is like a mutual agreement isnt it? is what a group of subjects agree to use to designate things that they experience through their individual perception
[25/11/2012 11:29:47] post-autonomy: they have this mutual code they can use in order to understand each other
[25/11/2012 11:30:31] post-autonomy: it cannot be perfect , of course, it will never be able to perfectly express every type of individuation and subjectivity
[25/11/2012 11:39:51] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: Yes, we exchange meanings which we think of as mutual understandings, my question is, how do we know what we ourselves - with our whole subconcious reading - understand as real and/ or the meaning.. I don't know if I can say that I am at all times understanding the communication between myself and other people, or even what I mean myself.. Sometimes I have the experience of having had a whole conversation which ends in mutual agreement, and then still not knowing what I have said or being able to give an accurate account of the conversation. The other side of what you said about the spoken language being evanescent, that the written is much more concrete. Of course that is just stating the obvious.. I am interested in whether you can give the written language the same fragile conditions as the spoken.. Maybe perhaps through a longer process of fabulating in the writing.. Can you eg. make a written Freudian slip? Or is it even possible to avoid making written Freudian slips?
[25/11/2012 11:46:32] Stense Andrea Lind-Valdan: Or maybe that whole thing is just to cover for trying to avoid the awareness of losing ground all the time..
[25/11/2012 11:49:39] post-autonomy: ok what you just said there sort of shows the pointlessness of this written discussion, because we had just agreed earlier on that it might be more interesting to use spoken language and explore its fragility

[25/11/2012 13:04:13] post-autonomy: there seems to be a problem with the connection again

Outline

 

This new work reconstructs and develops ideas staged in Belgrade last year at the ITS-1, "How to stage a project examining Post autonomy within the framework of the limitations of existing material means for staging art? - while looking at steps towards beginning to start a project examining Post Autonomy." The work clarifies the inherent contradictions and problems of staging a project examining PA within the normalized orthodoxy of a conservative art system en route towards understanding and constructing a material form of Post Autonomy.

The exhibition will comprise a structure that can be moved into different configurations each day, 2 Video projections by Eleana Louka, " Slide projections by David Goldenberg "Culture State" 2006 - 2011. Re-readings of two performance/lectures by David Goldenberg, recently presented at the Mongolian Biennial in 2010, and  Baku this year, Post Autonomy now 3 and 4, imagining a space beyond the end of Biennials, Globalization and Colonization, the move from a limited outline of PA towards its full potential.

Un projet par David Goldenberg et Eleana Louka
avec l'aide de Ellen Taylor
(S'il vous plaît télécharger Flyer du projet)

Ce nouvel ouvrage reconstruit et développe des idées organisés à Belgrade l'année dernière à l'ITS-1. "Comment mettre en scène un projet examinant La Post-Autonomie dans le cadre des limites des moyens materiels existents pour la mise en scène d'art? - tout en regardant des mesures pour commencer un projet examinant La Post-Autonomie. L'ouvrage clarifie les contradictions inhérentes et les problèmes de mise en scène d'un projet examinant PA, au sein de l'orthodoxie normalisée d'un système d'art, en route vers la compréhension et la construction d'une forme matérielle de Post Autonomie.

L'exposition comprendra une structure qui peut être changée en différentes configurations chaque jour, deux projections vidéo par Eleana Louka, des projections de diapositives par David Goldenberg "Etat de la culture" 2006 -. 2011 Re-lectures de deux performances / conférences par David Goldenberg, récemment présentées à la Biennale de Mongolie en 2010, et Bakou, cette année, Post Autonomie maintenant 3 et 4, en imaginant un espace après la fin des Biennales, la mondialisation et de la Colonisation, le passage d'un aperçu limité de PA vers son plein potentiel.
