Unfamiliar Ties: Hypercultural Conversations

Once a month, we invite to get together with changing guest, discussing hypercultural forms of political, cultural, and non-identarian links, ties, and alliances.

As long as we continue to think, feel and act in terms of “our own” and “their foreign” culture, we contribute to creating, prolonging or deepening mistrust, projection, and reification of others – and thereby contribute to structural violence through exclusion and depreciation, as well as to real violence.
Instead of holding on to the phantasm of a mysteriously intrinsic authenticity of cultures, forever incomprehensible to those, who have not been born into it, we propose to seek out vicinities, affinities, and intimacies with thoughts, experiences and practices of singular persons and people from anywhere.
This doesn’t contradict the necessity to understand and respect specific historical and political struggles in its context, of which art and theory also should bear witness – on the contrary: It is its basis. And, the closer we look, we will also find out that we don’t know who we are. That is why we not only alienate others, but also ourselves, as long as we follow the logic of some generalized projection of “them” and “us, ” without looking closely. Couldn’t it be a good starting point to leave the false promise of identarian certainty behind? How could, to put it in Arendt’s terms, a space of appearance look like, which enables us to get in touch with the “who” and not with the “what” of me, of us, of you, of others?

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”.

IDENTITY NEEDED

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.
