Hospital Prison University Radio

Conversation between artist Jakob Jakobsen and curator Lisa Rosendahl about Jakobsen's contribution to the exhibition After Monoculture, which is closing on Sunday 18 June. Jakobsen's work seeks to make visible the violent roots of contemporary Western mental health care focussed solely on the individual, searching instead for collective approaches and ways to understand illness as societal and relational.

Sofia Cerqueira har i en periode overtaget Hospital Prison University Radio og det er med stor glæde og sorg at vi her præsenterer hendes radiomontage 'En samtale om at miste hukommelsen'. Sofia er en skrivende og skabende person som selv har haft berøring med det psykiatriske system. Programmet handler om mistet hukommelse. Hvordan det kan opleves, når minder forsvinder, når man bliver svigtet af sin egen hjerne og af det sundhedssystemsystem, der skulle passe på en. I programmet fortæller Sofia, Jamila, Anne og Mikkel om deres egne oplevelser med mistet hukommelsen. Undervejs læser Fine Gråbøl op fra sin roman Ungeenheden, der udkommer i foråret 2021. Varighed 60 min.

In this episode recorded in the beginning of August we are discussing the urged for normalisation offered by the brief retreat of the virus in Europe during the Summer. What we are experiencing is an obsession with going back to the same destructive normality we were briefly relieved from during lock down. Like the irrational drive to go back to a violent partner despite knowing that it will go wrong there was a general push for restoring the stressfull and exploitative order of capitalist production. This death drive can only be countered by mass general strike and the abolition of capitalist institutions including the mental hospital. Social Crisis! Mental Crisis! is a series of conversations on Communism and Mental Health in times of pandemia between the artists Sophie Carapetian based in London and Jakob Jakobsen based in Copenhagen. We will be back approx. once a week with occasional guests.

For our eighth broadcast we are joined by our comrade Sacha Kahir. Together we discuss the difficult subject of suicide. Our conversation explores suicide as bound up with, and as a result of social and economic processes - we discuss this against normative understandings of suicide that emphasise the failure of an individual life. Our conversation proposes new ways of thinking through the phenomena of suicide: we ask instead what does it mean to be suicided by society. We place emphasis on the relations between capitalism, suicide and proletarian life. This episode is dedicated to our fallen and dearly loved comrade Sean Bonney, a poet who refused, opposed and resisted austerity, refusing to accept the imiserating relations of capitalism. Who, along with other poets mentioned in the discussion and innumerable victims suicided by a society built on status and profit, we demand justice that can only be its abolition. As this is a huge topic we offer only some initial steps... staggering and stammering in that direction.

For our seventh broadcast we are joined by our comrade Silvia Federici. Together we sketch out commonalities between social and historical processes of exclusion - in the form of the witch-hunt, and the contemporary apparatuses of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment of all those pathologised as mentally ill and clinically insane. The broadcast draws on both scholarly and first hand experiential knowledge situating the violence of social exclusion in the contexts of gender, race, and class formation, and as a necessary structural condition of the reproduction of capital.

Medication is the theme of our 6th episode. We discuss what all the psychopharma we take do to us, how they change our personalities and disrupt our wellbeing. We speak of how pills are ideological apparatuses solely aimed at making us able to attend work Monday mornings and feel nothing. Social Crisis! Mental Crisis! is a series of conversations on Communism and Mental Health in times of pandemia between the artists Sophie Carapetian based in London and Jakob Jakobsen based in Copenhagen.

Listen to the third episode of the radio show Social Crisis! Mental Crisis! with reflections on the notion of care, both within the psychiatric ward as well as within a communist perspective. We talk about care as reproductive labour within the strict hierarchy of the hospital in contrast to communist mutual care within self-organised hospitals and clinics. Social Crisis!

Listen to the new radio show Social Crisis! Mental Crisis! with reflections on Communism and Mental Health in times of pandemia. This is the second episode of a series of conversations between the artists Sophie Carapetian based in London and Jakob Jakobsen based in Copenhagen around the issue of mental health during quarantine. We have both experienced lock-down within the psychiatric system and we felt that reflecting on the experience of being isolated within the strict regime of the hospital could be useful in times of general quarantine. States of isolation and seperation have been the norm for some time for many people due to capitalist order. This time we discuss coping during isolation. Not coping with capitalism, but coping in ways that disrupts the status quo of capitalism. We will be back once a week with occasional guests.

René Jean Jensens digte er en hård forhandling med selvet om dets ret til væren i verden. En forhandling på alles vegne. Sætningerne løber fra de mindste til de største ting med tæt sanselig opmærksomhed, og omskalérer på den måde virkeligheden, alt er lige tæt på og samtidig på en gang lige langt væk. Digtene vil gentænke selvet, vi må se os selv og pladsen vi indtager. René læste op for 13 liggende tilhørere d. 16. december 2019. Næste læsning af poesi for liggende tilhørere er d. 23. januar hvor Majse Aymo-Boot læser. I februar vil Ide Börjel læse.

Listen to the architect Miguel Lawner telling about his experiences during his detention in various camps in Chile in the 1970s. Lawner was a central figure in Salvador Allende's socialist project in Chile from 1970 to 1973. He was responsible for the planning and expansion of social housing for the Chilean people. When the military took power in a bloody coup in September 1973, Lawner was detained along with thousands of others who had been working for a Socialist Chile. He was moved between various prison camps and ended up in Isla Dawson, an island in southern Chile. During his internment, Lawner began to draw, which was very dangerous and could have had dire consequences if he had been discovered. Lawner drew to document the conditions in the camps and many of the drawings were smuggled out in various ways. Lawner's main project was to document the newly constructed camp at Isla Dawson. This specific kind of drawings, more technical architectural drawings of the camp itself, were simply too dangerous to be caught with, so he began to survey the camp and memorise the dimensions in order to make a drawing when and if he was released. Following international pressure, Lawner was released and exiled in 1975 and happened to end up in Denmark as a political refugee. There he began to realise the memorised drawings, which were displayed at an exhibition in Albertslund Kulturhus outside Copenhagen. Lawner's drawings, and those early exhibitions of them, served as a demonstration of the existence of concentration camps in Chile and at the time created public outcry in Denmark and beyond. María Berríos and Jakob Jakobsen met Miguel Lawner in Santiago in January 2019.

Lyt til Nermin Durakovic og min (Jakob Jakobsen)samtale om tegninger af lejre. Nermin forklarer baggrunden for de fem tegninger som han præsenterer i Arkivets aktuelle udstilling. Tegningerne viser interiørs fra danske asylcentre som Nermin selv har erfaret fra sin tid i det danske asylsystem. Lejre kendetegnes ved undtagelsen og fratagelse af de rettigheder, der kendetegner det omgivende samfund. Nermin mener at det er et politisk spørgsmål om vi ønsker at leve i et samfund der gør forskel på mennesker på den måde.

Lyt til Christian Vind i samtale med Åse Eg Jørgensen og jeg (Jakob Jakobsen) om Broby-Johansens illustrerede bøger og det nybrud som Hverdagskunst - Verdenskunst udgjorde i 1942 da den udkom. Christian fortæller om Brobys billed-glubskhed, som nok var med til at diskvalificere ham i forhold til den borgerlige kunsthistorie og den akademiske 'svingerklub' (Christians betegnelse). Sandheden for Broby lå i engagementet og demokratiseringen af kunsten, som for ham inkluderede alle kulturgenstande; en bænk, en tæppebanker, et kloakdæksel

Lyt til Morten Thing fortælle om Broby-Johansen og hans udvikling fra at være 'ekspressionær' digter i 1920erne til han sprang ud som folkelig kunstpædagog med udgivelsen af Hverdagskunst Verdenskunst i 1942. Åse Eg Jørgensen og jeg (Jakob Jakobsen) stiller spørgsmålene og reflekterer. Morten Thing har over en årrække beskæftiget sig Broby-Johansen og det miljø af kommunistiske tænkere og kulturpersonligheder som han kom ud af fra 1920erne og frem. Morten fortæller om Brobys evne til at samle revolutionærer tendenser fra Sovjetunionen og Tyskland og formidle dem i de mange tidsskrift-projekter han indgik i mellemkrigsperioden. Morten fortæller også om de voldsomme ideologiske og personlige konflikter Broby rodede sig ind og ud af i sin ungdom.

Listen to Ellef Prestsæter and me (Jakob Jakobsen) in conversation about the communist art educator Rudolf Broby-Johansen and his (in Denmark) famous book 'Everyday Art World Art’ published for the first time in 1942 by the Workers' Education Association. The book became a best-seller and for many working class people it was the first book on art they had in their homes. In it Broby-Johansen equates fine art and everyday objects in form and importance. The introduction to the book carries the headline ‘On Seeing' - and here he describes how a painting in a museum has a similar spirit as an everyday object such as a rug beater. He breaks down the hierarchy between fine art and everyday objects found in the home or in the streets. Broby-Johansen lived from 1900 to 1987.

Lyt til en samtale med gymnasielære Ida Buhl om hendes tanker og observationer i forbindelse med Eva la Cour og mit (Jakob Jakobsens)besøg på Sisimiut GUX. I slutningen af august 2018 bragte Eva la Cour og jeg vores radio-mikrofoner og Arkivets aktuelle udstilling med til Grønland for at få et grønlandsk perspektiv på vores undersøgelser. Vi besøgte to klasser fra Sisimiut GUX og producerede radio sammen med dem. Vores samarbejde med de fantastiske elever fra Sisimiut GUX og deres lære Ida Buhl har været lærerigt og til tider problematisk med Eva og jeg som radio-værter for de unge. Programmerne handler også om det danske sprog som en barriere, og alle pauser og små diskussioner mellem eleverne på grønlandsk er taget med. Efter en uge med radio-samtaler overtog eleverne mikrofonerne og producerede 3 programmer hvor de interviewede os.

Lyt til min og Eva la Cours samtale om vores besøg i Grønland. Vi taler om baggrunden for, at vi ønskede at bringe den aktuelle udstilling til Grønland inden vi viste den i København - og hvordan dens besøg i Sisimiut ændrede alt, takket være de unge grønlændere vi mødte. Vi diskuterer kunstnerisk forskning i forhold til journalistens eller antropologens metoder. For os var det vigtigt at ingen roller var givet på forhånd - og ingen viden skulle bekræftes - men alle roller og al viden skulle udfordres. Derfor var vores besøg i smukke Grønland slet ikke uproblematisk.

Lyt til min samtale med Eva la Cour om den aktuelle udstilling i arkivet. Eva præsenterer arbejde, der reflekterer over fotografen og filmmageren Jette Bang og hendes film om Grønland. Specielt har filmen 'Inuit' (1940/84)været med til at fastholde et billede af Grønland og grønlændere som et naturfolk i modsætning til den europæiske modernitet. Evas arbejde tager fat i en samling filmruller, som for nyligt er blevet fundet i National Museets filmarkiv med Jette Bangs fraklip, som viser moderniseringen i Grønland: skibsfart, skolevæsen, minedrift, sundhedsvæsen, mv.

This is one of six object analyses made with a group of young artists taking part in the workshop 'The Collective Subject of History' at Guttorm Guttormgaard's Archive in Blaker, Norway (June & September 2018). I (Jakob Jakobsen) invited six of the workshop participants to choose one or more objects from the Archive that we could use as a point of departure for a radio conversation. All conversations last around 30 min. Visual artist Amina Sahan picked two books: one of them a handwritten Koran, the other a French photo album from Algiers. And she juxtaposed these two books with two b/w photos found in a box in the archive with family photos from Bergen. Link: guttormsgaardsarkiv.no/node/304/item/203

Lyt til min samtale med Emile Hertling Péronard om arbejdet med at producere og udvikle filmen 'Sumé - Lyden af Revolution', som er instrueret af Inuk Silis Høegh og havde premiere i Grønland i 2014. Emile, der er vokset op i Grønland, fortæller ikke alene om film-produktionen, men også om Sumé som en vigtigt del af Grønlands politiske historie. Ligesom Sumés debut LP Sumut var den første plade med rockmusik sunget på grønlandsk var 'Lyden af Revolution' den første film om grønlandsk historie, der er produceret i Grønland. 'Lyden af Revolution' bliver på den måde den første grønlandsfilm produceret 'indenfra', i modsætning til de mange film der er produceret om Grønland af danske og andre filmskabere, bla 'Inuit' som Eva la Cour arbejder handler om, der blev skabt af Jette Bang. Emile Hertling Péronard er filmproducer bla inden for rammerne af Anorak Film.

Lyt til vores samtale med antropolog Anne Mette Jørgensen om fotografen og filmskaberen Jette Bang. Eva la Cours arbejde i udstillingen i Arkivet tager udgangspunkt i Jette Bangs filmarbejde. Jette Bang blev i 1938-39 udsendt af Grønlands Styrelsen i København for at afbillede forholdene i Grønland, hvilket bla førte til den berømte film 'Inuit' (1940/1984), der giver et smukt indblik i en Inuit-befolknings liv tæt på den arktiske natur. Anne Mette Jørgensen fandt for nogle år siden, i National Museets filmarkiv, nogle spoler med ubrugte optagelser fra Jette Bangs besøg i Grønland. Disse filmspoler viser moderniseringen af Grønland; minedrift, skibsfart, skolevæsen, sundhedsvæsen, telegrafi mm. Vores samtale kredser om forholdet mellem det traditionelle liv tæt på naturen og moderniseringen, som er en konstant tilbagevendende problemstilling i forhold til (afbildingen af) livet i Grønland. Anne Mette Jørgensen er antropolog og ansat på National Museet i København.

Det næste projekt i Arkivet handler om Grønland og jeg (Jakob Jakobsen) har inviteret billedkunstner Eva la Cour til at samarbejde og præsentere noget af sit arbejde. Som en del af forberedelserne til vores rejse til Grønland har vi inviteret Kirsten Thisted i studiet for at tale med hende om den lange tradition for danske kunstnere, der besøger Grønland som en mere eller mindre integreret del af koloniseringen af landet mod nord. Knud Rasmussen rejste selv til Grønland som en del af Den danske litterære Grønlands-Ekspedition i 1902-04. Denne ekspedition lå forud for Thule-Ekspeditionerne, som senere gjorde ham berømt. Kirsten Thisted er litterat og lektor ved Institut for minoritets studier ved Københavns Universitet. Hun har over mange år været en central formidler af grønlandsk litteratur og kulturhistorie.

Lyt til min samtale med den norske kunstner Guttorm Guttormsgaard om hans fantastiske samling af kunst, brugsgenstande, bøger og meget mere. Guttorm fortæller hvordan han søger efter kunstgenstande, der kommer ud af 'nødvendighed'. Det kan være små husholdningsredskaber af bøjet ståltråd, som vandrende tatere solgte hvor de kom frem, eller små snittede træfigurer skabt af Axel "Döderhultarn" Petersson i Sverige for over 100 år siden. Guttorm har følgeskab af Ellef Prestsæter, som fortæller om sit arbejde med at formidle og strukturere arkivet, blandt andet gennem en netside: http://guttormsgaardsarkiv.no Lyt her: http://hospitalprisonuniversity.net Denne samtale blev optaget i Blaker hvor Guttormsgaards Arkiv kan findes i det gamle mejeri hvor jeg var med til at drive en workshop i juni 2018.

Lyt til Marie Northroups samtale med Mustafa Kemal Topal om hans nylige besøg i Rojava og hans forskning i den kurdiske kvindebevægelse. Mustafa fortæller om kvindernes særlige motivation for at tilslutte sig revolutionen der giver dem en helt konkret befrielse fra hverdagens traditionelle strukturer og samtidig skaber en ny politisk horisont. Han forklarer hvordan kvindebevægelsens kamp i Rojava adskiller sig fra den dominerende vestlige feminismes idealer om "ligestilling" men i stedet kæmper for en total befrielse fra hele det patriakalske kønssystem.

Listen to our (Maria Berrios & Jakob Jakobsen) conversation with Frank B. Wilderson III on Frantz Fanon, the Third World, Black Liberation Army, National Liberation and the politics of Failure.

Lyt til Marie Northroups samtale med Latife Güzel om revolutionen i Rojava. Latife fortæller om den demokratiske konføderationen i Nord-syrien og om de mål for direkte demokrati som befolkningen arbejder efter. Hun fortæller om den kurdiske bevægelses historiske udvikling fra at være en del af de nationale befrielses kampe som kendetegnede afkolonialiseringens bevægelserne i 1960erne og 1970erne til i dag at have opgivet kravet om en national stat. Nu kæmper de for basis-demokratiske strukturer imod statsdannelse.
