The New International or Post-Global?

Kate Fowle talks with Boris Groys

On 2 July the curator of upcoming The New International Kate Fowle meets with philosopher and art historian Boris Groys, one of the world’s most prolific cultural theoreticians, to discuss the 1990s as a pivotal moment in history that continues to determine the changes in our understanding of identity and remains significant in its redefining of the boundaries of the art world, previously centered on Western European and North American models. While talking over her curatorial concept with Groys, who immigrated to Germany in 1981 and is known for his thoughts on the relationship between East and West, Fowle will also outline possible directions for curators and artists in the international context of today.

NSK embassy Moscow: revisited 

Two roundtable discussions with IRWIN and guests.

In 1992, IRWIN instigated a conversation between artists, critics and curators from the former Soviet Union and former Yugoslavia on the topic «How the East Sees the East». This was part of the project, NSK EMBASSY MOSCOW, developed under the auspices of APT ART International. NSK EMBASSY MOSCOW revisited is a series of conversations and roundtable discussions between some of the original participants and a new generation of practitioners. Together they will reconsider some of the urgent questions from 22 years ago in the context of our current social and cultural climate.

Session 1: East/West/East then and now
Session 2: Collective Work then and now 

Moderated by Viktor Misiano, co-founder of APT ART International

Malevich in the west

Lecture-performance by Nikolay Punin from New York

About the lecturer: Nicolay Punin lives and works in St. Petersburg and was a contemporary of Kazimir Malevich, who has a very close relationship with one of the participants of The New International, Alexander Brener. In his lecture, Nikolay Punin will look at seminal historic moments of the reception of Malevich’s work in Western Europe and the USA, questioning why Malevich has become such a symbolic figure of Russian contemporary art around the world.

Work Talk

Garage typically invites visitors to attend either a talk or lecture or a guided tour of its exhibitions. However, to further encourage open discussion and questions from the audience, Garage has created Work Talks, where each visitor is invited to take part in a live conversation with tour guides.

Timeline
The 1990s were a time of many changes that affected our perception of national boundaries and their stability. The 9 artists featured in The New International come from different countries that were each affected in some way by a shift in geographical boundaries. Garage’s printed Timeline is designed to make sense of these changes by presenting international and local events in relation to the individual stories of each featured artist, also tracing those points where the artists’ personal histories intersect. The Timeline also provides a foundation for independent familiarization with the exhibition, as well as the basis for the Work Talk discussions.

Admission is free. The number of places is limited; please assemble at Garage Information Desk 10 minutes prior to the start of the Work Talk.
