<span style="font-size: x-small;">XIII <a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.fr/">OuUnPo</a> Research Session | São Paulo | November 7-16, 2014<br />Curated by Sara Giannini.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://ouunpobrazil.blogspot.fr/">We Are What We Lost</a> is a mobile festival organised by the European
artistic network <a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.fr/">OuUnPo</a> | Ouvroir d’Univers Potentiels in cooperation
with Brazilian artists, researchers and institutions. Each day a series
of actions, talks, screenings, workshops and performances will be
enacted in different venues and locations across São Paulo. <br />
<br />
<i>We
Are What We Lost</i> is the 13th session that the group arranges and will
close the cycle “<a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.jp/2012/09/project-description-ouunpo-catastrophe.html">Catastrophe & Heritage</a>” (2012-14) where OuUnPo has
investigated crisis, conflict and how these affect the formation of
identities. Previous sessions have been held in <a href="http://ouunpolebanon.blogspot.fr/">Beirut</a> (2012), <a href="http://ouunpojapan.blogspot.fr/">Tokyo</a>
(2013) and <a href="http://ouunposicily.blogspot.fr/">Gibellina</a> (2014). In each country the group has explored
different forms of collaborative expressions by working with local
artists, curators, researchers and institutions. <br />
<br />
Over
the span of 10 days, <i>We Are What We Lost</i> will become a platform to
experiment with disappearance as a metaphor and research question. The
session will look at how loss influences our being in the present as
well as in what way it affects our dialogue with the past. How do we
take in voids and vestiges to generate sense and revisit memory? How do
ruptures and new constellations shape our experience and understanding
of time and temporality?<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
Looking at the
history of Brazil we can see how the European colonization marked a
fracture of the space-time continuum, of how life was constituted. It
was an apocalypse that caused a violent upheaval in the history of the
continent. Furthermore, the extermination of the native populations
across the Americas contributed to shape the world we live in today. It
created the basis for land and labour exploitation whose effects still
lay the foundation for contemporary capitalism.<br />
<br />
Within
this framework OuUnPo along with local collaborators will investigate
the heritage of catastrophe, a subject matter composed by conflictual
histories, fragments and residuals. <i>We Are What We Lost</i> aims to untangle
the potential of minor and nonlinear narratives through a curated
series of events that brings together a rich variety of disciplines and
perspectives into the arena of contemporary art.<br />
<br />
The
festival forms an immersive and itinerant palimpsest of events where the
participation of local contributors, spaces, institutions and audiences
will create new meetings and form unexpected alliances. The group will
approach local collections in an interrogative manner but also work with
impromptu situations, urban explorations as well as other forms of
interventions in informal contexts. OuUnPo invites you to dig out the
forgotten and wonders: <br />

<i><strike>Dis</strike>appearance (We Are What We’ve Lost)</i></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
Within the research context of “Catastrophe and Heritage,” the OuUnPo session in Brazil will explore <i><strike>dis</strike>appearance</i>, a state where end is another word for transformation and where the absence is another form of being. In close collaboration with numerous Brazilian partners, a 7-day event will be created to experiment with the impalpable as a metaphor, research question and methodology.</div>
<div class="p2">
The unique Brazilian context will allow us to look at how loss reverberates and affects the shaping of our being in the present as well as our dialogue with the past. OuUnPo members and local artists, curators, institutions and researchers will be engaged in both a theoretical and practice-based research with the aim of understanding how we perceive history in the present and how the past is constantly reactivated in the shaping of cultures. The group will approach local collections, archives in an interrogative manner, highlighting the invisible tension between absence and presence.</div>
<div class="p2">
How do we integrate voids and vestiges to generate sense and formulate memory? How can ruptures and unending amalgamations help us to get a deeper understanding of time and temporality? To approach these questions the group will build on four central concepts. These will serve as platforms between the visiting group and the local creators and institutions and will allow for learning and creation that embraces differences and similarities among all the participants in the project.</div>
<div class="p2">
<b></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p2">
<b>*</b>The residual</div>
<div class="p2">
Sociologist Raymond Williams explains that the concept of residual is something that "has been effectively formed in the past, but is still active in the cultural process, not only and often not at all, as an element of the past, but as an effective element of the present"<span class="s2">1</span>. When we look at the world today we find innumerable examples. We can see how it is shaped by the fall of the South American dictatorships or the end of the Cold War as much as any current political event or movement.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
*Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and the Amerindian Perspectivism</div>
<div class="p2">
The agency of the absence and its echo in the construction of cultural identities is essential in the work of the Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Marrying the <i>disappeared </i>Amerindian Cosmology to post-Deleuzian philosophy, he has formulated “Perspectivism,” a concept that refers to the reciprocity of points of view between humans, animals and spirits in the Amerindian culture. Through this concept De Castro shatters the opposition between “culture” and “nature,” which is the core of Western modernity. The neutralization of this dichotomy, fundamental for the birth of anthropology as a discipline, also prompted him to reinvent anthropology as such. His theory is therefore essential for any discussion on <i>disappearance </i>in the Brazilian context.</div>
<div class="p2">
The European colonization of Brazil marked a fracture of the space-time continuum, an apocalypse that caused the end of the Indigenous world. Nevertheless spores of lost indigenous cosmologies slowly re-emerged in new hybrid forms in traditions, beliefs and practices that hold great potential for rediscovery and creation. These amalgamations deepen and transform our comprehension of <i>finitude </i>and we are pushed to reflect on what residuals can perform on a more unconscious level.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
*Brazilian modernism</div>
<div class="p2">
Brazilian modernism and avant-garde offer another field of investigation where it is possible to perceive a reactivation of the repressed. Particularly in movements such as <i>Anthropofagia </i>and <i>Tropicalismo </i>the reinterpretation of indigenous wisdom and philosophy is essential for the creation of a new self-awareness and vision of the world. These artistic movements rehabilitated forms of knowledge that can be seen as deviant and tangential to the European modernist canon. Viveiros de Castro shows that they operate differently from the Western system of knowledge, whose aim is objectivity and universality. The Amerindian knowledge on the other hand is always subjective and rooted in the coexistence of different and multiple perspectives. The idea of appropriation and transformation, which characterizes the cannibal rituals of Brazilian indigenous population have been rethought in both <i>Anthropofagia </i>and <i>Tropicalismo and </i>discloses the potential of becoming both as a philosophical and historical notion. Following this line of thought further questions arise: What has become of (Brazilian) modernism today? How does it shape our lives today and what can be learned from the experiences of the modern?</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
*Architecture without Archeology</div>
<div class="p2">
Against the backdrop of these reflections, we can see how the residual unravels hidden agencies. It allows us to rebuild memories and identities as architectures without archeology. Orphans of master narratives, the ruins of neglected histories exist and resist outside the archives. OuUnPo, together with their Brazilian partners will untangle their potential in minor and non-linear narratives through a curated series of events that bring a rich variety of disciplines and perspectives into the arena of contemporary art. OuUnPo will therefore rediscover forgetting and remembering as parts of a dynamic dialogue, or formulated differently:</div>

OuUnPo Brazil - CATASTROPHE AND HERITAGE-<br />
<br />
- A CURATORIAL PROJECT PRESENTED BY OuUnPo.<br />
- AN EIGHT-DAY SESSION IN BRAZIL IN 2014 INCORPORATING EVENTS IN COLLABORATION BETWEEN OuUnPo AND BRAZILIAN CREATORS .<br />
<br />
- Organised by Vision Forum and Global Art and the Museum (at ZKM). The event is coordinated by Sara Giannini and Yane Calovski with Per Hüttner.<br />
<br />
<br />
PRESENTATION<br />
<br />
<i>1.OuUnPo history – A Mobile Laboratory</i><br />
OuUnPo is a pan-European research network that is made up of artists, curators and researchers. It operates like an itinerant laboratory that co-creates and shares knowledge through artistic production. Each session focuses on a given topic in different cities around the world. Since 2009 OuUnPo has worked on "Orality" (Athens, Greece), "Urgency and Leisure" (Belgrade, Serbia), "Neuro-imaging and Creativity" (Nijmegen, Netherlands), "God and Multiverse" (Rome/Skopje/Paris) to name a few. OuUnPo collaborates both with well-established institutions, alternative venues and informal groups. Trans-disciplinarity is of a key importance for the group and a session mixes events as diverse as performances, film screenings, happenings, music events, lectures, discussions, scientific talks and hybrid forms of these.<br />

<i>2. How we interact with the Participants.</i><br />
The OuUnPo sessions functions as a bridge to reconnect both art and research with the everyday lives of their respective audiences. Each session creates a platform for the co-creation of knowledge between local artists, curators, scientists and institutions and the OuUnPo network. This is facilitated through the meeting between the unique situation and experiences in Brazil and the global perspective that is hosted by the diverse background of the creators who make up OuUnPo - members of the network come from a dozen different European countries and many different disciplines. This allows the partners on both sides to get a deeper understanding of how life is changing in the present and particularly how globalisation affects our everyday existence. The eight-day session in Brazil is arranged so that it offers both new perspectives to existing problems and through that creative insights for the future. Each session offers joyful fun and inspiring events that deal with serious matters with the explicit goal to ensure diversity and inspire multiplicity.<br />

<i>3.The topic for Exchange</i><br />
As OuUnPo expands outside of Europe, we have decided to look at how heritage and catastrophe are linked together in different contexts. We want to acquire a wider and deeper knowledge how the two interact. It is in situations of crises that heritage is both created and destroyed. The session will offer insights and research into the specific situation in Brazil today and the challenges that lie ahead for all of us globally. OuUnPo wants together with its local partners get a deeper understanding of how the situation in Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais and see how creativity has been unleashed from this experience. A series of preparatory trips will be carried out in 2012-14 to better understand what can be learned from the session. The events in Brazil forms a part of a larger project with OuUnPo sessions in Lebanon, Sweden and Japan. We see great opportunity to draw similarities and differences with how people in deal with their situation in these countries and particularly how a situation of crises can be used for the development of new ideas and solutions. The Brazilian session is the last in the cycle and it is therefore important that there is are large Japanese and Lebanese community in Sao Paulo to help summarize the four research trips.<br />

<br />
<i><br />4. How we operate – process and structure</i><br />
The OuUnPo sessions are built on collaborations between local creators and visitors by finding formal, conceptual and human bridges between the two. Each of the ten days is broken down into a series of longer and shorter events. Each event is free-standing and self-contained so that a visitor can choose to attend an event, a day or the whole session. Each day forms a chapter that deals with a specific geographical, architectural or institutional setting in the Japanese urban landscape.<br />
<br />
The group also offers alternative outlooks on existing exhibitions, collections and architecture by creating special performances, guided tours and other interfaces that comments on the context. These enrich both the understanding for the creators, institutions and audiences. As the amorphous group moves through the city new and expected links are created that often lead to improvised and impromptu events.<br />
<i><br />5. OuUnPo and the Audiences</i><br />
OuUnPo bases its activities on a different outlook on communication where the creation of knowledge happens between the participants and between participant and artwork. The exchange is therefore going both ways and fundamentally based on dialogues around a given problematic. We encourage each visitor to experience the events and sessions differently and to draw from their unique experiences, qualities and knowledge. This means that individuality and difference becomes an asset, something that is essential in maximizing the value of intercultural exchange. This is also one of many reasons why the OuUnPo sessions are loved by our audiences – they are open for reflection and creation on the part of the participants and audiences alike. The events are participatory on every level, in other words staged so that the boundaries between creator and audience are blurred. We often invite the audience to be a part and actively participate in both discussions and performances.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>6. Outcomes</i><br />
The session in Japan forms a part of a larger project where OuUnPo investigates similar topics and problems in Lebanon (December 2012,) Japan (June 2013) and Sweden (September 2013). The project is initiated in collaboration with Global Art and the Museum at ZKM in Karlsruhe and Linköpings universitet in Sweden. Academic Evaluative sessions will also take place in both universities. A concise publication that documents the four sessions will be designed by the design group Åbäke and published in 2014.</div>

OuUnPo is an international research network made up of artists, curators
and researchers who together look at the boundaries of performance by
appropriating and stretching the language of workshops, seminars and
meetings. For each session a group travels to a different city and
investigates a given problem. We interact extensively with local
institutions and creators at every location and create links to the
European institutions we represent.<a href="http://visionforumouunpo.blogspot.de/2012/05/about-project.html"> Read more</a><br />
