Ahali Conversations with Can Altay

Collecteurs is an independent public-benefit corporation with a mission to give public access to the world's unseen private art collections. In their words, they "aim to bring these unseen works out of the dark, and back into culture, where they belong.”

Founded by Evrim and Jessica Oralkan and developed at the New Museum’s cultural incubator, Collecteurs is an independent public-benefit corporation with a mission to give the public access to the world's unseen private art collections. https://www.collecteurs.com/about-us

The International Council of Museums establishes professional and ethical standards for museum activities. https://icom.museum/en/about-us/missions-and-objectives/

Jessica and Evrim Oralkan (the co-founders of Collecteurs) started collecting more than a decade ago. While they were considering options to catalog their collection, none of the alternatives met their expectations. Long story short, they came up with a collection management system that also accommodates a built-in social network. To finance this work, they created a business model based on membership fees and revenue from services to users. Today Collecteurs host more than 1200 collectors within its database.

Chus Martinez is one of the most speculative and critical minds within contemporary art and the curatorial field. We’ll hear her discussing the possible and perhaps necessary end of the art institution as we know it, and on what can be done to imagine other art sustaining environments. Towards an understanding of art, that is more in tune with the growing complexity of life, and one that is more at peace with its transformative role within this complexity.

Chus has an internationally acclaimed curatorial practice that spans over almost two decades that generated myriad exhibitions, publications, and at times some of the most unexpected forms of cultural production.

She is currently the director of the Art Institute at the FHNW Academy of Art and Design, Basel. https://institut-kunst.ch/en/we-are/studium-master/

Chus was writing a short story a day and keeping the doctor away during the first COVID-19 outbreak. She published her stories through Instagram and later on compiled them into a book titled “Let life Happen to You” published by Lenz Press. https://lenz.press/products/corona-tales-let-life-happen-to-you

In this episode we are hosting Mariana Pestana, the curator of the 5th Istanbul Design Biennal. Mariana is an architect and independent curator based in London and Lisbon. Her research trajectories include critical social practice and the role of fiction in design; for an age marked by technological progress and an ecological crisis.

She is a member of The Decorators, an interdisciplinary practice that makes collaborative public realm interventions and cultural programmes. She formerly worked at the Department of Architecture, Design and Digital at the V&A Museum and lectured at Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts, Royal College of Arts, Universidade do Minho and Sandberg Institute.

We delve into Mariana Pestana's works, her various collaborations and speculate about the future for design, and how design produces futures. The question of curating design, employing social typologies, and how design contributes to shaping the world are topics we touch upon. Along with her generous articulation of the current edition of the Istanbul Design Biennial, where we are also collaborating with her.

Episode Notes

Curated by Mariana, the 5th Istanbul Design Biennial titled “Emphaty Revisited” is set to open at October 15.

If questions around generating alternatives, and other possibilities of environments for art to foster, intrigue you, make sure you listen to this conversation. Because this episode features artist Fritz Haeg, whose Salmon Creek Farm is a long-term art project shaped by many hands, a sort of queer commune-farm-homestead-sanctuary-school hybrid. Salmon Creek Farm is a re-settlement in a former hippie commune from the 1970's in Mendocino California. With acres of land with orchards, meadows, gardens, and redwood trees, it provides for living, gathering, growing, and consists as an overall art-sustaining environment.

Fritz studied as an architect and had nourished global attention as an artist with his Edible Estates, which, in its many incarnations had to do with taking yield and growing crops in otherwise unutilized greenery.

Engagement with land and plants is as important as engaging with people, since Fritz has always been bringing people together, in action, in work, and exchange.

The Sundown Salon, a series of meetings in a geodesic dome, or the collective rug-making sessions titled “domestic integrities” are a few projects that come to my mind. And I see the Salmon Creek Farm as the culmination of all these questions and more.

One of the original communards put it this way: It was not ‘‘dropping out,’’ argued River, in her 1974 book ‘‘Dwelling,’’ but an active search for ‘‘a new pattern of ­living’’ that does not ‘‘rip off the planet or any of her inhabitants.’If you want to learn more about the background story of the farm, listen to interviews with original Salmon Creek Farm communards River and Moonlight from the KZYX series Promise of Paradise.

If you’re curious about the future of cultural institutions, there’s so much to learn from Kemi Ilesanmi. As the executive director of the Laundromat Project we’ll be hearing how she positions herself and the institution with striking clarity, towards making New York City a better place by bringing people together, and touching the lives of places through art and culture. We discuss the importance of how histories are written, the necessity of acknowledging other knowledges, and the essential economic dimension of gaining access to the cultural field, and why focusing on people of color matter, today!

We tend to sum up our guest’s biographies, but Kemi’s deserves a full read:

She has been a DMV clerk, receptionist, business school dropout, Minnesota State Fair ribbon winner, museum curator, foundation officer, and now Executive Director of The Laundromat Project, a NYC arts nonprofit that advances artists and neighbors as change agents in their own communities. She cares about cultural and community care, #BlackLivesMatter, and all things Beyonce and Michelle Obama. Her work is also deeply informed by her Nigerian and Black American roots. Prior to joining The LP, she worked at Creative Capital Foundation and the Walker Art Center in curatorial and program roles. In 2015, she was appointed by the Mayor of New York City to the Cultural Affairs Advisory Commission and has served as Chair since 2020. She has been honored by the Metropolitan Museum and Project for Empty Space and serves on the boards of the Joan Mitchell Foundation and The Broad Room, as well as advisory boards for Brooklyn Public Library, Smith College Museum of Art, Black Arts Future Fund, Indigo Arts Alliance, and WNET All Arts. A graduate of Smith College, NYU, and Coro Leadership NY, she is also a Sterling Network Fellow.“

Partnered with the Black Alliance of Just Immigration, LP’s resident artist Lizania Cruz worked on a project that focuses on issues regarding public memory. Through a series of intimate meetings where Cruz documented individual immigrants' stories to create zines. The project sought to render the African Diaspora's presence more visible and their memory less ephemeral. Dedicated to propagate the immigrant experience, “We the News” zines were free to take away and later on displayed on newsstands placed on sidewalks. https://www.laundromatproject.org/project/we-the-news/

In this episode we are hosting Céline Condorelli, an incredible artist with a sharp and critical mind. She’s a long-time friend and collaborator. And you will hear how beautifully elaborate Céline is when tackling questions around how artists can position themselves with respect to society, institutions and audiences.

“There's certainly the hierarchy of whose work is actually recognized. Like, for example, the artist is named, the cleaning lady is not named, or you know, the people who have built the wall are not named. However, the artist is often the only person in the room who's not being paid, which is also a different kind of hierarchy.”

From ecology to work, public spaces to friendship and support, Céline’s inquiries hit the core of cultural production today. Céline Condorelli is an artist, writer, and teacher. She is the founding director of the artist-run space Eastside Projects based in Birmingham. Apart from her highly acclaimed practice, she is best known for the publications she authored such as Support Structures co-edited with Gavin Wade.
Condorelli’s work brings ideas, people, and objects together through staging, display, and "support". https://celinecondorelli.eu

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has an enormous online archive which contains documentation on the institution's activities as well as the history of art, design, and more. https://www.moma.org/research-and-learning/archives/

As Céline pointed out, displaying plants as companions to artworks started in the 1930s and lasted until the 1980s. In 1936, MoMA presented its first and only dedicated flower show, Edward Steichen’s Delphiniums. https://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2011/03/08/edward-steichen-archive-delphiniums-blue-and-white-and-pink-too/

Publishing has been a fundamental pillar of contemporary art’s existence. Whether as incubators for mythology-building; or becoming settings for communities to emerge, art is impossible to think outside of publications, as magazines, books, journals or today’s online forms. Ben Eastham is someone whose work wedges exactly on this territory; founding editor of The White Review, Former Editor of Art Review, and the current editor-in-chief of art-agenda. We hear his take on art publishing as creative practice; writing and editing as a means of re-scripting and re-positioning works of art; and his first-hand take on the notorious Power 100 list of the Art Review magazine.

Ben has recently penned an essay for the Art Review about his experience with the rapid proliferation of online content in the art world. Unlike the skeptic majority, Ben has a fresh take, offering a stream of optimism that is much needed these days. https://artreview.com/home-viewing/

Founded by Ben Eastham and Jacques Testard in 2011, The White Review is a London based quarterly arts journal published in print and online. The magazine takes its name from LA REVUE BLANCHE, a Parisian magazine which ran from 1889 to 1903. Apart from being a top-notch publication both for the fields of literature and contemporary art, The White Review also runs prestigious short story and poets prizes.

Ben is the editor-in-chief at Art Agenda, the division of e-flux dedicated to contemporary art criticism since March 2020.

https://www.art-agenda.com

Inspired by Emmanuelle Lainé’s exhibition at Hayward Gallery titled “Learn the Rules Like a Pro, So You Can Break Them Like an Artist!” in 2018, “Places and Things” is a piece of fiction written by Ben Eastham. Here is a link to the video documentation of Ben performing his work that took place in the exhibition space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igw3xwtDvHk

Imaginary museum is Ben’s upcoming book to be published this year from Harpercollins Publishers. The book takes place in an imaginary museum as the title suggests. While Ben shows us around interfering security guards, pretentious curators, skeptical visitors, angry protestors and elusive ghosts become mediators for him to reflect upon the art of today. He taps into his memories and experiences to pose questions about contemporary art while contemplating our increasingly strange and complex times as well as the world in which we live.. http://www.beneastham.com/books/

In this episode, we host globetrotter artist Ahmet Öğüt. With many trades in his pocket, Ahmet is a tireless people’s person as well as a hacker of sorts whose art-making competence allows him to infiltrate institutions from within to create parasitic organizations that instigate change!

Ahmet Öğüt is an internationally acclaimed artist. His works often delve into topics such as religion, social norms, and politics using humor. Ahmet is the founder of the "Silent University", a roaming learning platform that aims to empower undocumented people through employing them as tutors. He is also the co-initiator of the "Code of Acquisitions" (with Burak Arikan), a watch-dog for ethical practices of art institutions, galleries and studios.

Ahmet’s website is packed with further readings and additional material on his works. http://www.ahmetogut.com

Initiated by Ahmet in 2012, The Silent University is a mobile and iterative institution. As a solidarity school run by refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, it facilitates knowledge exchange dedicated to academics that cannot share their knowledge due to bureaucratic or juridical obstacles. https://thesilentuniversity.org

Co-founded by Ahmet with Burak Arıkan, Code of Acquisitions is an ongoing investigation about good and bad practices of art institutions, galleries, and studios. It’s inquiries address published policies as well as cases of misconduct and abuse. https://codeofacquisitions.org

Tokyo based collective Chimpom invited artists such as Ai Weiwei, Taryn Simon, Trevor Paglen, and Ahmet Öğüt to contribute to an exhibition at Fukushima.
