CURATORIAL AFTERWORD
For: "Body of Us" website ("Body of Us" is the Swiss contribution for London Design Biennial 2018 on commission by Pro Helvetia; With: common-interest, continent., dinamo, Kaja Kusztra, Vanessa Lorenzo, Raphaelle Mueller, Raeuber&Stehler)
Writing a "a curatorial afterword" imposed itself as a necessity against the background and the circumstances of the "Body of Us" project: on the one hand, as the project team announced their attempt to perceive the working process also as an exercise in and study of friendly collaboration; on the other hand, because the project the team worked on can be read as an exemplary case of contemporary working conditions within institutional design environments. Working on and thinking about the Swiss contribution to the London Design Biennale has set in motion many things, has stirred a lot, moved a lot and it seems it will continue to do so.
FROM EXCLUSION TO AUTONOMY: PUBLISHING AS A SPATIALIZING ACT
For: Amateur Cities
About publishing's potential to develop as an institutionalizing means, as a democrativ interface for connecting diverse people, knowledge-systems, temporalities and technologies; and as a way of relating-with-the and being-in-the world. Publishing can be used as a means for instigating critical discourse and engagement, for proposing alternative value systems, opening new political horizons; it can be a means for instigating the experimental anticipation of realities that reach beyond what is currently embodied and materialized. It even can be pursued as a spatial and spatializing practice, and a site-specific method for investigating contemporary and future living environments.
