EXHIBITION | City of Women | Chantal Akerman: La Chambre / The Room

A long and slow panoramic shot describes continuously the space in a room. Chantal Akerman sits on a bed, at first motionless and then, when the camera captures her again, eating an apple. This film is a mysterious self-portrait of the filmmaker at her favourite spot as well as a sort of cinematic still-life, repetitively describing elements in a space.

DRAUGHT | P L A T E AU R E S I D U E : ALMA MATER

At the core of the duo P L A T E AU R E S I D U E’s installation is an ice mass, or more precisely, a stalactite brought by the artists from an ice cave to the museum and kept there as a museum exhibit. This is a reminder of the rapid disappearance of ice as a consequence of global warming, which has affected ice deposits in Slovenia as well; at the same time, the artists were guided by their fascination with ice and its optical properties, which led them to experiment and identify creative potential in a block of ice.

Izar’s line drawing of the first two people facing the classic dilemma will adorn the MSUM vestibule for a while in an attempt to rock the boat a bit in this awesome time we’re living in, when everything is both unspeakably fateful, part of one’s browsing history and stored online for all eternity, and, on the other hand, ephemeral, transient, exchangeable after a month if one grows tired of it or realizes the style doesn’t suit.

SEMINAR | Glossary of Common Knowledge – Geopolitics II

The topic of the Glossary is repeating from the previous edition because we feel such wide referential fields can never be fully exhausted. Connecting to current research projects of the Internationale partners the referential field will explore alternative ways of making global alliances, either by drawing from historical case studies or addressing urgent meters. The aim of revisiting the referential field of Geopolitics is to seek potentials in producing different histories (narratives) that would have gone beyond the Eurocentric ones.
