Archival Grid – screening, workshop

Artistic Research at the Nexus of Archives, Subjective Witnessing and Forensics

Charlotte Eifler & Clarissa Thieme

Screening & lecture January 11 2023 18:00 – Galerie [Archival Grid I-III, 34 min]

Workshop January 12 2023 10:00-14:00 – HGB Room 2.15

Expanded Cinema Class

Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB)

Huge archival collections such as those of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) draw attention to the relationship between forensic evidence, surveying, and collective memory. But they also cast doubt on a simple causal relationship between legal reappraisal and social remembering. How are forensic methods used artistically, legally, and politically, and what impact does this have on international archives and their respective social contexts? Database logic and aesthetics seem to dominate archival collections, especially in post-conflict societies increasingly. But are these data archives also capable of forming a collective memory, or are they too entangled in structures of digital coloniality for that?

In presenting their work ARCHIVAL GRID, artists Charlotte Eifler and Clarissa Thieme will address these questions. In a subsequent workshop, they will explore methods for memory practices and counter-narratives together with the Expanded Cinema class.

The lecture is held in the context of the project „Images of Research“ in cooperation with the support office of the HGB Leipzig.

In collaboration with the Library Hamdija Kresevljakovic Video Arhiv Sarajevo.

Clarissa Thieme enters the loops of troubled remembrance: There is a video by Nedim Alikadić she found in the Hamdija Kresevljakovic Video Archive that collects amateur footage of the siege of Sarajevo. It shows militiamen by a river in a residential area. Handheld, the camera nervously moves, pans, and stutters as it seeks to connect to the threat before it. It is this particular camera movement that Thieme tracked to use the resultant meta-data now to control an automatic arm and make it move a ray of light in exactly the same way the hand shifted the camera. Exactitude and ephemerality: extremes meet. Thieme enters the gap between them, widening it, while simultaneously pulling the fragments of reality together into one unsettling force-field. (Jan Verwoert)

WEEK1 / March 20 - 27

Due to the Corona and Covid-19 crisis Arsenal Cinema in Berlin opens its online screening program ARSENAL 3 for everybody (link below).

The first week's programme includes films about empty places and mass gatherings. About rooms and their surroundings. On proximity and distance. On the body and its malleability. Films that become new films in the face of the current situation. That also is cinema. At a distance and yet in contact. Not rescue, but transformation.

I am contributing with „WAS BLEIBT I STA OSTAJE I WHAT REMAINS“ (2010) that was the starting point of my current film „Was bleibt I Sta ostaje I What remains / Re-visited“ (Berlinale 2020).

ARSENAL 3 Week 1 presents films by dear colleagues Stephan Geene, Hala Lotfy, Isabell Spengler, Juliane Henrich, Constanze Ruhm, Susanne Sachsse, Dalia Naous and Kinda Hassan, Clemens von Wedemeyer, Laura Horelli, Daniel Kötter, Maha Maamoun, Maite Abella and Kerstin Schroedinger.

REVISITING THE ARCHIVE IN THE AFTERMATH OF REVOLUTION

2018, Fri, Oct 26 to 2018, Sun, Oct 28

Archiving is not merely documenting. In the aftermath of the Arab uprisings, artists, activists, and others have reverted to archives digging through a past buried under several layers of cultural, political and psychological repression. A symposium about memory, mourning, and forgotten or forbidden narratives.

In lectures, round tables, and films, academics, authors, artists, and filmmakers examine artistic and intellectual articulations of archiving as a political and personal practice.

Conceived together with the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC), in association with Europe in the Middle East and the Middle East in Europe (EUME), curated by Khaled Saghieh

Palimpsest: THE TIME OF THE ARCHIVE

October 26, 2018, 20:00

With ALA YOUNIS, BINNA CHOI and CLARISSA THIEME
Moderated by Nanna Heidenreich

In english language

Academy of the Arts of the World Cologne

Venue: Stadtgarten, Venloer Straße 40, 50672 Cologne

Which time defines archives? The time when the materials were collected, or the present, from which we view the archive? In recent months the Akademie der Künste der Welt has featured a variety of artistic positions dealing with (non) archived histories under the theme found:erased:palimpsest.
The last evening in this series is dedicated to the question of how the present influences our interpretation of the past, and what conclusions we can draw for our own time from our ever-present preoccupation with archives.

The invited artists will focus on events from recent history. In her presentation, BINNA CHOI refers to the Gwangju Uprising in South Korea in 1980 and how this is celebrated in a national historical frenzy without any relation to the political situation of the time. CLARISSA THIEME’s film Today Is 11th June 1993 deals with amateur videos from the period of the siege of Sarajevo. She is less interested in the pure collection and presentation of materials than in their restaging and how the view into the past influences us as observers in the present. In Plan for Greater Baghdad ALA YOUNIS turns to the documentation of demonstrations of male power in a variety of historical documents about Baghdad’s architectural history, allowing the same story to be told from a female perspective in Plan (fem.) for Greater Baghdad.
The evening will conclude with NANNA HEIDENREICH leading the three artists in a discussion about the political potential of dealing with archives–how much does reflecting on the past determine how we deal with the present? And what contribution can artists make in order not to relinquish the decision over the selection of archival materials to current power structures?

WHAT IF IT WON’T STOP HERE?

What art can do now to face up to the bleak mood and still speak through media, data and the body

Artists: Marco Donnarumma, Kerstin Ergenzinger, Lisa Glauer, Bnaya Halperin-Kaddari, Darsha Hewitt, Nino Klingler, Kiran Kumar, Clarissa Thieme, Zeynep Tuna, Jan Verwoert

Vernissage: October 18, 7pm 

What if it won't stop here? Addressing the publication in a roundtable with the artists: October 28, 5pm 

In the Mahābhāratā, moments of suspension mark turning points in the story. Bow in hand, string fully pulled, protagonist Arjuna is tasked with taking aim at a fish strung up above a pool, only via its reflection in the water, without ever releasing the arrow. Later, the world is on the brink of war. Arjuna commands one of the armies facing each other off. Unwilling to give the go he lets his sword drop. Time stands still. With the falling blade frozen in mid-air, Arjuna talks with trickster Krishna about the life that was nearing its end.

Media nations under the spell of events prophesized by presidential tweets vote for doomsday certainty, while heads of finance have zombie shelters built in the Antipodes. Is this it? The end? What if it wasn't? Life on the planet is so much bigger than that. Still, global backlash spreads despair: What if it won't stop here? What if it keeps on getting worse? Talking back to dire realities is a pressing task. Yet, for critical art and thinking to stay alive, they also need to loosen the stranglehold that apocalyptical thought has on the political imagination. Stretching the limits of time and space with artistic means could defy the paralyzing pressure the endgame logic exerts, and recalibrate the senses. Time ripples when the beat breaks to the tune of: "Stop now, what's that sound, everybody look what's going down…"

At Archive kabinett the fellows of the UdK Graduate school at the University of the Arts Berlin show pieces born from two years of working alongside and discussing what to do when the air of gloom clouds the horizon for imagining change? Coming from visual art, dance, music, film and performance, they propose micro-political answers to the macro-political question: what is to be done? Say no to apocalypse, hold the clock, find other routes for traversing collective memory, sculpt the sonic, unscape the land, receive embodied knowledge passed on locally for centuries, make machinic souls vibrate, and demonstrate, with some gallows humor, that, when the devil is in the details, critique may thrive on nuance.

The artists are: Marco Donnarumma, Kerstin Ergenzinger, Lisa Glauer, Bnaya Halperin-Kaddari, Darsha Hewitt, Nino Klingler, Kiran Kumar, Clarissa Thieme and Zeynep Tuna. The exhibition is curated by Jan Verwoert.

On the occasion of the show, an eponymous publication with thematic discussions and artistic contributions is released by Archive Books, edited by Daniel Pies and Jan Verwoert. Designed by Nienke Terpsma.

The project is co-founded by Einstein Stiftung Berlin.

The exhibitionopens on October 18 at 7pm and closes on the October 28 after the event.

Vremeplov / Time Machine by Clarissa Thieme 

Against the background of a constant demand for steady growth, innovation and originality, Re*Creation addresses the double meaning of “re-creation” as “recovery” and “create anew”; the artists of the exhibition Re*creation appropriate existing pictures. The material in question comes from areas that we usually assign to the private. It has been detached from its original context, changed, annotated, and transformed both temporally and spatially. This recontextualization of the images reveals a social relevance in addition to the individual.

VREMEPLOV I TIME MACHINE 12 x translation

CNTRM is a project by Christof Zwiener

CNTRM is pleased to present the performative video installation VREMEPLOV / TIME MACHINE* by media artist Clarissa Thieme during the PROJECT SPACE FESTIVAL 2018. The basis for this performance redesigned especially for the guardhouse is a 15-minute long video message 'sent' by a group of young people from the besieged city of Sarajevo in 1993. With a portion of black humor, they imagine escaping from the war with the help of a time machine. Thieme re-activates this machine with the help of simultaneous interpreters, who sit in the guardhouse as in an interpreter’s booth translating it to a variety of different languages.

The request from the past "Get me out of here!" addresses itself to the future, but also the present. 25 years after the video message has been made in Sarajevo, it will now open a dialogue between the guardhouse and the public space in Berlin. VREMEPLOV / TIME MACHINE represents a specific aspect of European history, and correlates with the exhibition space through its own artistic reflection on temporality and transformation.

* VREMEPLOV / TIME MACHINE was created in collaboration with Nihad Kresevljakovic and Grace Sungeun Kim on the basis of an intensive examination of the library Hamdija Kreševljaković Video Arhiv, a private collection of amateur videos developped during the Bosnian War in Sarajevo (1992-1996).

The gatekeeper pavilion near Berlin Ostbahnhof was opened again with Chapter 12 after more than 20 years and the process of renewal has started. The planned renovation will conclude with Chapter 1 in October 2018 and then present an impression of what the gatehouse looked like 40 years ago. 
At the same time, CNTRM is designing a second story line with invited artists, which consists of ten exhibitions as the main act (Chapters 11 - 2). These artistic interventions refer to the respective state of renovation of the pavilion.

Shift to the right, national isolationism, male-driven economy: The old vices are re-conquering the world. What is becoming visible here: a last gasp in the face of impending change or a crushing weight swathing the present-day? What historical horizon of social action can art open up when governments in many places are making us feel that nothing is possible anymore?

How can the archive be thought of as a space for action and experience? Based on the inextricable difference between event and re-presentation,  "performing the archive" examines artistic strategies of translation and transfer as an approach to the communicative blank spaces that define our singular experiences.

"We make statements which never contain the whole true experience: that cannot be described. All the statements can do is to encircle it, as tightly and closely as possible: the true, the inexpressible experience emerges at best as the tension between these statements." Max Frisch, Lecture at City College NY, 1981
