Vortrag von Heidi Salaverría zum ersten Video-Block von So Close/So Far. Zusammengestellt von Sophia Leitenmeyer – mit Arbeiten von Studierenden der HfBK Hamburg.
Die Videoarbeiten dieses ersten Blocks nähern sich den vier Themenfeldern der Gesamtausstellung vielfach aus einer negativen Perspektive. Negativ nicht im Sinne einer Beschränkung auf kritische Diagnose und Bilderverbot, sondern eher wie das fotografische Negativ. Es kommt zu einer Ent-Selbstverständlichung.

Projects from Aarhus meet projects from Hamburg in order to experience the similarity and relationship of each other’s aesthetic approaches in their particular differences. All projects have in common a transdisciplinary orientation and an impact in the various fields of the social. We would like to learn with and from each other how strategies in solidarity in the field of international art and cultural exchange can develop new forms that reflect appropriately the problems of our time. The question pursues a critical consideration of the supposedly generally accepted concept of “we”.

HyCP VEDDEL SPACE – OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2019 – EXHIBITION, WORKSHOP AND PUBLIC ARTIST DINNER, A COLLABORATION WITH HEIDI SALAVERRÍA, TORSTEN BRUCH, MICHAEL KRESS AND CHRISDIAN WITTENBURG
In everyday understanding “culture” as a term is often equated with identity.One’s own familiar identity, that which is not foreign, is being understood as a fixed canon representing universal values. If other cultures are being viewed from this fixed perspective, as a consequence they are being isolated as something alien.

A PORT JOURNEY EXCHANGE EXCHANGE HAMBURG > YOKOHAMA
Using the big windows of ZOU-NO-HANA TERRACE as screens, Rahel Bruns transforms the surface of the building to a medium which turns it inside out and vice versa as well as the private to the public and individual to the political recognition of our faces as a statement. This resumes us to intensive actions of social, cultural and psychological negotiations. At the same time Rahel Bruns brings up various questions, such as of the history of the portrait itself and also of contemporary issues like digitalization, social media and the phenomenon of the individual.

UNFAMILIAR TIES // HYPERCULTURAL CONVERSATIONS
“Im Gespräch mit der Chinaexpertin Julia Berg werde ich von meinen textilen Forschungsreisen zu den chinesischen Minderheiten in der Provinz Guizhou berichten. Meine Recherchen zielten dort insbesondere auf die kryptischen Traditionen der Indigo-Färberei und den alltäglichen Trachtenrealismus, der mir im “Autonomen Bezirk ” der Miao und Dong in Qiandongnan begegnete”.
KONFERENZ – HYPERCULTURAL MESSENGERS
Die künstlerischen Forschungs-Reisen thematisieren Hyper Culture als ein alternatives Konzept zu den überkommenen Begriffen Inter-, Trans- und Multi-Kultur. Die Messenger untersuchen Kulturalität als mögliche und unvorhersehbare Neuverknüpfungen, als hyperkulturelle Umwandlungen auf assoziativen Ebenen von Ähnlichkeiten.
HYPERCULTURAL MESSENGERS
Ich erahne eine Frustration: die Dias, die mit der Billigkamera aufgenommen wurden, zu einem Dia-Vortrag zusammenzustellen. Sie KÖNNEN garnicht gut aussehen, so schlecht ist die Kamera. Ich will es trotzdem, behaupte mal, das Beeindruckende muss der Ort schon selber hinbekommen. Was ich mit den digitalen Geräten vorhabe weiss ich noch nicht.
HYPERCULTURAL MESSENGERS
Out of an ongoing process of dialogues and musical communication, Ariel Flórez and Heidi Salaverría developed the project “Syncopated Resistance”. Tracing both the vicinity and the tension between philosophical thoughts and the Afro-Caribbean tradition of music, they travel through times.
HYPER CULTURAL MESSENGER – Mongolei
Beobachte ich mich selbst aufmerksam und untersuche ich den Kontaktmoment an dem das Unvertraute auf das Gewohnte trifft, durchlässig, erfolgt Veränderung. Lasse ich mich frei von Bewertung und unbefangen berühren, werde ich reich beschenkt.
HYPERCULTURAL MESSENGERS
Reisen, das bedeutet die alltägliche Routine hinter sich zu lassen, unter Umständen aus dem gewohnten Schlafrhythmus zu fallen und im Jet Lag die Störung des Schlaf-Wach-Rhythmus zu erleben. Das grundlegende Bedürfnis von Schlaf wird offensichtlich, in Bussen und Bahn sind Menschen von Müdigkeit übermannt und schlafen an halböffentlichen Orten.
„...Ich bin überzeugt, dass Kunst und Kultur unverzichtbare Grundlage einer Gesellschaft im demokratischen und friedlichen Zusammenleben sind. Je kreativer eine Gesellschaft ist, umso fähiger ist sie aufzustehen und damit zu überleben....“ Martin Roth, Widerspruch, 2017
Artist in Residence – A Port Journey Exchange with San Diego, USA
As far as a line— can signify subjective movement, intimate rhythm, or serve to abstract notions of space, we needn’t prematurely hold such characteristics accountable for engendering expectations of individuality.
Artist in Residence – A Port Journey Exchange with Zounohana Terrace/Yokohama
All rivers are connected to the ocean. We all share the ocean with all creatures on earth. The human life, various cultures, histories and also battles began in waterside, and our ancestors lived a simple way of life when people didn’t have any borders of countries.

“My current paintings take us into the midst of the plastic soup that we swim in. The sky is still blue, but we are choking in the useless material boiling away in our seas and on our shores. We let it go down the drain. (…)”
WITH ANISH AHLUWALIA, ANDREA BECKER-WEIMANN AND ANKE MELLIN FOR THE HAMBURG INDIA WEEK 2017
The project invites artists from India and Hamburg to focus on the singular cultural perspectives of the other. It investigates a broader concept of culturality, which encompasses similarities and closeness rather than difference and distance. The process of emancipation is being understood as an unconstrained interest in otherness by universally acting subjects.

HYPER CULTURAL MESSENGER – Italien
Ich recherchiere nach Ausgrabungsstücken: mich interessiert ihre Darstellung sowie die Weise, wie sie für den Tourismus durch Attraktionen und Dekoration oder Souvenirs übersetzt werden. Als Reiseziele hatte ich u.a. Paestrum und Pompeij in Italien anvisiert. Ästhetische Grenzen verschwimmen nicht nur zwischen Ländern und Kulturen, sondern auch zwischen der Vergangenheit und Heute.
FRISE Artists In Residence – August 2017
This is where it begins. Drawn to the center between the peripheries of land and water, we enter into a strange ceremony of fearful fascination, automatic administration of clearcut chaos, a deep void of wild autonomous capitalism. Aborted commitment of open doors to the world, we turn around, turn again and again, finding no entrance, no exit, we adhere to the front.
HYPER CULTURAL MESSENGER – ITALIEN
Seit 2014 liegt der UNESCO in Paris der Antrag Italiens vor die Pizzazubereitung als immaterielles Weltkulturerbe eintragen zu lassen. Wie die Franzosen, die sich ihre „Cuisine Francaise“ bereits 2010 als Weltkulturerbe anerkennen lassen haben, kämpfen nun auch die Italiener um die Erhaltung ihrer kulinarischen Traditionen. Fusion Food, Fast Food, die Lebensmittelindustrie an sich und rasch wechselnde Moden werden als Gefährdung dieser Traditionen wahrgenommen.

UNFAMILIAR TIES // HYPERCULTURAL CONVERSATIONS:
Re-examining a heritage of disaster sensed in the the smooth Elbe river bricks of Hamburg back in 2014, Rebecca returns to FRISE with a project that begins to stitch together pieces of a personal history—beginning with hand-processed leather from two American deer hides and a pattern traced out of her grandfather’s personal monument, his WW2 bomber jacket.
