Curator Jo-Lene Ong walks through historic marketplaces across Taiwan, Paris, Devon, London, and Manchester, exchanging island mentality for more archipelagic thinking, via Steph Huang's sculptural installation, I Am in a Pretty Pickle (2024). Through works combining sculpture, sound, and film, contemporary artist Steph Huang explores mass production, consumption, and waste. She often focusses on the transcultural and historical dimensions of food industries, and the implications of such markets on our natural environment. Roaming the street markets of cities in Taiwan, where she was born, and London, where she lives and works, she also draws from their vernacular architectures, and different local cultures. Steph's first exhibition at Tate Britain in London sits near the river Thames, a boat ride away from Billingsgate, the UK's largest inland fish market; and in Manchester, at its historic Market Buildings, once part of the Victorian Smithfield Fish Market. Curator Jo-Lene Ong connects sculptural works like I Am in a Pretty Pickle (2024), with the Situationist International's practice of the dérive, repurposing objects collected through exploration. We situate her interest in wonder and playful approach to media with the likes of Haegue Yang, currently on view at the Hayward Gallery in London, and Rasheed Araeen, entwining the roles of cook and artist. We look at the traces of maritime trades and food industries on our everyday lives, and our relationship with ocean ecosystems, highlighting the legacies of colonialism in contemporary capitalism and climate crises. From esea contemporary's previous exhibitions of artists like Jane Jin Kaisen, Jo-Lene moves towards her particular interest in transmission, and more ‘watery ways of being' beyond borders, referencing Astrida Neimanis' hydrofeminism (2017) and looking to Sharjah Biennale 16 in 2025. We discuss ‘island travel' and ‘archipelagic thinking' as central to Steph's artistic, and Jo-Lene's curatorial, practices. Jo-Lene shares how her relationship with identity has been shaped by working in different contexts, from Malaysia, to Amsterdam, and the UK. We discuss the relative in/visibility of East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) identities in these different places - histories of Indonesia and the Dutch East Indies, and Malaysia, a British colony between the 1820s and 1957 - as well as the overlaps between Hokkein and Taiwanese languages, as variants or dialects of Chinese. Steph Huang: There is nothing old under the sun runs at esea contemporary in Manchester until 8 December 2024. The exhibition is part of the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award (MTSA)'s National Touring Programme, first exhibited at Standpoint in London in 2024. The exhibition will tour to Cross Lane Projects in Kendal in March 2025. An exhibition book of the same number launches at esea contemporary on 30 November 2024. Art Now: Steph Huang: See, See, Sea runs at Tate Britain in London until 5 January 2025.

Photographer, Louis Chavez and I have a conversation about New Intimacies, Louis' photographic study of gay cruising. It is inspired by Peter Hujar's work but takes a more experimental approach with more inspiration by writings of José Esteban Muñoz. We also discuss Louis' work as a curatorial assistant at the George Eastman Museum and, as your teaser, you just might learn a little bit about the Situationist International and Pscyhogeography. Louis was also kind enough to send a video slideshow on the Real Photo Show YouTube channel so you can see the work while listening. https://chavezlouis.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realphotoshow This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club Begin Building your dream photobook library today at https://charcoalbookclub.com Louis Chavez is a photographer and curator based in New York.

A pathbreaking exploration of the fate of utopia in our troubled times, this book shows how the historically intertwined endeavors of utopia and critique might be leveraged in response to humanity's looming existential challenges. Utopia in the Age of Survival: Between Myth and Politics (Stanford UP, 2021) makes the case that critical social theory needs to reinstate utopia as a speculative myth. At the same time the left must reassume utopia as an action-guiding hypothesis—that is, as something still possible. S. D. Chrostowska looks to the vibrant, visionary mid-century resurgence of embodied utopian longings and projections in Surrealism, the Situationist International, and critical theorists writing in their wake, reconstructing utopia's link to survival through to the earliest, most radical phase of the French environmental movement. Survival emerges as the organizing concept for a variety of democratic political forms that center the corporeality of desire in social movements contesting the expanding management of life by state institutions across the globe. Vigilant and timely, balancing fine-tuned analysis with broad historical overview to map the utopian impulse across contemporary cultural and political life, Chrostowska issues an urgent report on the vitality of utopia. S.D. Chrostowska is Professor of Humanities and Social & Political Thought at York University. She is the author of Literature on Trial: The Emergence of Critical Discourse in Germany, Poland, and Russia, 1700-1800 (2012), among other titles. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.

Finalist #11 in the Book Review Contest https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/your-book-review-the-society-of-the [This is one of the finalists in the 2022 book review contest. It's not by me - it's by an ACX reader who will remain anonymous until after voting is done, to prevent their identity from influencing your decisions. I'll be posting about one of these a week for several months. When you've read them all, I'll ask you to vote for a favorite, so remember which ones you liked - SA] Introduction   “The Society of the Spectacle will make no sense if the reader feels there is nothing fundamentally wrong with contemporary society.”  Guy Debord was a Marxist theorist and founding member of the Situationist International, among other things.  Like all great thinkers worth their salt, he was an embittered alcoholic who took his own life in despair. [1] Published in 1967, The Society of the Spectacle is his magnum opus and lasting legacy. It unfolds in staccato bursts, almost like a book of aphorisms.  The writing is pithy and poetic, albeit with the occasional lapse into the meandering, circular prose so typical of critical theory.  This makes it extremely readable, particularly for a work of political philosophy.  One downside of his style is that he tends to state his points in just-so fashion. We'll have to do some of the legwork for him to flesh things out. Strap in, boys - we've got a bumpy road ahead of us.

We say au revoir to our Francophone era with IRMA VEP. Official Assayas fanboy Thomas gets Bethy deep into Irma, and Bethy gets Ben Collins (THE NIGHT HOUSE, nu HELLRAISER) into the Situationist International. A real brainy one! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tristessen är alltid kontrarevolutionär. Hur kan vi skapa en brytning i den kapitalistiska vardagen här och nu, konstruera situationer där vi avkoloniserar våra liv och gör tillvaron till ett äventyr.

Last year during the unrest after George Floyd's murder, we read an article about recuperation and talked about the concept within the context of then unfolding paroxysms of rage against police brutality.Does every movement for social change eventually get recuperated? Yes. Is it still worth engaging in social movements? Also yes. The Recuperation of Authentic Outrage https://libcom.org/library/recuperation-authentic-outrage Support the show (http://patreon.com/theregrettablecentury)

In this episode of Playopolis, we'll hear a conversation with McKenzie Wark as she resituates the Situationist International, talks about living in New York in 2020, and speculates on how seeds for other ways of life may rise from modern ruin. McKenzie Wark is known for her writings on media theory, critical theory, new media, and the Situationist International. Her recent books include Capital is Dead and Reverse Cowgirl. Following that is the story of the rise and fall of Jafflechutes. In 2014, on the windiest Autumn day in twenty years, Jafflechutes launched itself into the world... and promptly got stuck in a tree. We talk to the co-founders of this world first 'float-down pop up' eatery about what works, and what really doesn't, in the world of parachutable food.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Douglas Valentine, author of the groundbreaking book The Phoenix Program, joins us in light of the republication of his book TDY to discuss covert operations, the CIA, the Vietnam War, and more. In this conversation, however, we take a more philosophical turn as Douglas and I attempt to answer the question "How did we get here" in regards to living in an age where secrecy, surveillance, terror, and fear seem to reign supreme in our society. In doing so Douglas and I consult the work of the French theorist Guy Debord of the Situationist International and author of The Society of the Spectacle. In this regard, Douglas makes special reference to Debord's observation that, ""Secrecy dominates this world, and foremost as the secret of domination."

Neala Schleuning is the writer behind "Artpolitik: Social Anarchist Aesthetics in an Age of Fragmentation." The book has been a huge inspiration to us at Bank Job headquarters, and as its central theme it explores the relationship between aesthetics and ethics, and charts the destructive energy modernism brought to bear on meaning in art. 4-7 mins Dan and Neala first discuss Plato and Aristotle who put forward the idea that 'the good, the true and the beautiful' should sit right at the heart of aesthetics, in other words art should be 'meaningful'. Poets were banned under Plato as they stirred people up! Ethics is about guiding us collectively, modernism is about individualism, the romantic artist. Art becomes 'art for art's sake.'8-15 mins Their discussion then moves on to a very brief overview of the 20th century and the challenges to modernism - movements insisting on bringing politics back into the conversation. Neala says politics is ethics under another name. They then discuss the First World War, Dadism and Situationist International and the Lettrists, touching on Guy De Bord, who Neala thinks is one of the great lesser sung geniuses of the 20th century. The society of the Spectacle.16-20 mins - start to talk about Chris Marker, The Matrix and They Live, films which reveal the Spectacle as introduced by Neala in the last section.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJC4R1uXDaELooking 'beyond the Spectacle'. Neala talks about this as a 'control system'. Dan likens this to advertising, 'the production of desire' which connects to Neala's term 'capitalist aesthetics'. 21 -27 mins A brief chat about Schumacher - 'Small Is Beautiful' and the Buddhist Economics and what that is meant to be. Situationist International inspired 68 uprisings as well as groups like Adbusters. 'Another world is possible.'27-31 mins we discuss the new mass media - social media - and the politic art and memes that are shared.34-40 mins on optimism amid a world with Trump and Johnson. But is it a great time for progressives? We talk about the necessity of taking action and not just talking. "That's how you create another world, you actualise it, you don't wait for a great leader, you get together with other people."40-47 mins we begin to discuss a new book Neala is writing discussing the Anthropocene, human activity on the geological record, it's not theoretical. She's very interested in the 'dark side of the sublime' Timothy Martin and The Hyper Object. We wrap it up!   

SONIC ACTS FESTIVAL 2019 – HEREAFTER Tony Cokes – the next ‘revolution’? 07.2001 (revised 02.2019) – or progress does not exist 23 February – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands With an introduction by Ash Sarkar. In his talk, Tony Cokes will revisit some of his ideas he deployed in a talk presented in July 2001. He will begin with Black Celebration (1988), his first work to examine the legacy of the late 60s and early 70s. That video appropriated newsreel images of urban uprisings in Watts, Boston, Detroit and Newark. Cokes juxtaposed the footage with an ‘industrial’ music soundtrack by Skinny Puppy and visual text quotations, prominently from Situationist International’s The Decline and Fall of the Spectacle-Commodity Economy. The video re-presents these historical events from a distant, but desiring perspective that would counter Reagan-era amnesia or dismissal. Cokes’ presentation will discuss this period in relation to a trajectory within his artistic practice that questions the mythic idea of progress. He will connect three threads: his scepticism with regard to historical constructions, the media’s attempted conversion of ‘revolution’ into a debased marketing trope, and the question of how these representations resonate in our current climate of fear and proto-fascist nationalisms. Tony Cokes makes video, installation, print, sound and other works that reframe appropriated texts to reflect upon capitalism, subjectivity, knowledge and pleasure. Cokes deploys sound as a crucial, intertextual element, complicating minimal visuals. He has shown works internationally at venues including Centre Georges Pompidou, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum, ZKM, REDCAT and La Cinémathèque Française. Cokes has screened at festivals including the Berlin Biennale X, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Rencontres Internationales Paris/​Berlin/​Madrid and Oberhausen. Cokes is Professor in Modern Culture and Media at Brown University, Providence, RI. His work is represented by Greene Naftali Gallery, New York.

RYBN.ORG RYBN walk us through the Offshore Tour Operator to explore local traces of the transnational and liquid financial industry, and introduce classic tax avoidance schemes the Double Irish, Singapore Sling, Bermuda Black hole and Dutch Sandwich. Offshore Tour Operator directs the user through addresses from the ICIJ Offshore Leaks database to discover & map the local premises of businesses listed in the Offshore Leaks, Bahamas Leaks, Panama Papers, and Paradise Papers. A situationist GPS prototype for psychogeographic drift encouraging you to create concrete visual representation of the opaque and offshore, thus reshaping the imaginary around tax havens. Photographs of buildings listed at each address capture the offshore economies in the local landscape, architecture and environments. Tax Haven Tourism + Algorithmic Investment + Psychogeography + Art as Financial Optimiser + #DNL15 ----more---- Financial optimisation through art, it turns out only works for dead, (mostly) white & male artists, and collectors who can afford to stash excess cash in anonymous shell companies and complex trusts to hide their money through the acquisition of art. It doesn't work so well for living artists, who apparently can't transform themselves into tax havens to help offset billionaires income. I, like most artists could help you write off millions through conceptual art, feel free to call anytime! ALGOFFSHORE TAX OPTIMIZER THROUGH ART is a system that generates tax optimization schemes, using art as a speculative vehicle. Taking advantage of every possible offshoring strategy to compute a personalised solution for any interested art collector, the user can customise the optimisation scheme with personalised parameters and dedicated algorithms. RYBN.ORG Extra-disciplinary Artistic Research Platform, FR RYBN.ORG is a Paris-based collective founded in 1999. The collective follows an extra-disciplinary investigation methodology on the functioning of complex and esoteric phenomena and systems - high frequency markets structure, algorithmic trading strategies, offshore banking networks, kabbalah hermeneutics, digital labor and human computers, computer viruses, etc. Their works have been presented in many art centers and festivals internationally.

RYBN.ORG THE GREAT OFFSHORE RYBN.ORG (Extra-disciplinary Artistic Research Platform, FR) Moderated by Ela Kagel (Digital Strategist and Founder of SUPERMARKT Berlin, DE) RYBN presents the “The Great Offshore” project, an artistic investigation conducted in several tax havens. The Great Offshore addresses the question of representation of offshore finance: due to its opaque nature and the secrecy that surrounds it, it is impossible to picture. The symbolic representations that are usually in use are, as many invitations to evasion, filled by colonial images of exotic islands, of palm trees beaches and golden sands, infinite walls of numbered mailboxes, that contribute to the aestheticisation of financial power. In a similar fashion, as Alain Deneault underlines it, the vocabulary in use to describe offshore finance is not neutral, and produces a positive, technical, legal and legitimate picture, that neutralizes critics. As a consequence, either within semantics or semiotics, we face a representation crisis. To overcome this representation failure, The Great Offshore project seeks for traces of this transnational and liquid financial industry, to capture how it marks local landscapes, architectures and environments. The Great Offshore project aims to reshape the imaginary around tax havens, by re-engaging with the situationist strategies of psycho-geography, enhanced by digital and algorithmic means. During the talk, RYBN unfold the different chapters that composed the project and its artistic, semiotic and political dimensions. + Workshop / Psycho-Geographic Tour  of Berlin shell companies & shadow finance offices with RYBN.org. What is psychogeography? :: an exploration of urban environments that emphasizes playfulness and "drifting," originating with the Situationist International movement. Psychogeography was defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals." It has also been defined as "a total dissolution of boundaries between art and life," and "a whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities... just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape. Psychogeography: delve into the soul of a city Siobhan Lyons The Conversation 2017 Psychogeography, as the term suggests, is the intersection of psychology and geography. It focuses on our psychological experiences of the city, and reveals or illuminates forgotten, discarded, or marginalised aspects of the urban environment: The transition of a space from one use to another undergirds much of psychogeography’s preoccupation; the notion of a palimpsest – an object or piece of writing with new material superimposed over earlier writings – is particularly important. Psychogeography thrives as an interrogation of space and history; it compels us to abandon – at least temporarily – our ordinary conceptions of the face value of a location, so that we may question its mercurial history.

Half a century ago, revolt broke out around the world, making the year 1968 synonymous with left-wing rebellion. In France, students and workers paralyzed the country during a heady month of massive wildcat strikes and factory occupations, during which the government feared it would be toppled. Donald Nicholson-Smith discusses May '68 and the Situationist ideas that helped fuel the upheaval. The post May 1968 and the Situationist International appeared first on KPFA.

Dr. Duncan Hay, currently a Research Associate at the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL, London, has an extensive experience at the intersection of linguistics and technology. He received his PhD in 2012 in in English Literature from Manchester University, where his thesis looked at the writing of the London-based writer Iain Sinclair in relationship to the theories of urban space developed by the 20th Century European avant-gardes. He is currently under contract with Manchester University Press to write a ‘detourned' cultural history of the relationship between Manchester, the birthplace of industrial capitalism, and ‘psychogeography', the revolutionary, utopian spatial practices developed by the Situationist International. He has also been working with digital since 2006 and he is skilled with a range of front- and back end technologies including html, CSS, JavaScript, PHP (WordPress is a speciality) and Python/Django. At the moment he is interested in exploring cities and culture using mapping technologies like leaflet.js. In today's episode we talk to Duncan about the definition and origin of the IoT (Internet of Things) concept, about Alexa and Amazon Echo and about what makes it difficult for people to understand how it operates data. We talk about security and trust around IoT in public urban spaces through an urban space project in East London. Duncan and the team he was a part of explored what happens to a conversational object (a 3D printed garden gnome) when you give it agency and how to make transparent to people the interconnectedness and communication between IoT objects. Lastly we talk about IoT governance and trust. Last week we released part 1 of this interview where we talked to Duncan about his work with the Survey of London, the White Chapel Initiative, a technological experiment in the creation and dissemination of urban history.

In today's episode we talk to Duncan about his work with the Survey of London, the White Chapel Initiative, a technological experiment in the creation and dissemination of urban history. We talk about how digital technology can be used to increase access to historical data and the tensions and barriers between official and unofficial history. We cover inclusivity, diversity, citizenship and legitimacy of what constitutes data and what is the role of technology. Next week we will be releasing part 2 of this conversation which will be focused on Duncan's work in the space of IoT (Internet of Things).

Here is the audio from our evening of conversation with art historian and cultural critic Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen to mark the release of his new collection of essays, "After the Great Refusal". "After the Great Refusal" offers a Western-Marxist reading of contemporary art focusing on the continued presence (or absence) of the avant-garde’s transgressive impulse. Taking art’s ability to contribute to a potential radical social transformation as its point of departure, Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen analyses the relationship between the current neoliberal hegemony and contemporary art, including relational aesthetics and interventionist art, new institutionalism and post-modern architecture. Mikkel Bolt Rassmusen is an art historian and cultural critic. He is Associate Professor at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen, and is co-editor of the journals K&K and Mr. Antipyrine. He is the author of many books in Danish and two previous books in English: Playmates and Playboys at a Higher Level: J.V. Martin and the Situationist International (Sternberg Press S.À.R.L., 2014) and Crisis to Insurrection (Minor Compositions, 2015). He has two forthcoming books in English from Zero Books: "After the Great Refusal" and "Trump's Counter-Revolution". He has published articles about anti-capitalist activism, the revolutionary tradition, and the Situationist International, in journals such as e-flux journal, Multitudes, Rethinking Marxism, Texte zur Kunst, and Third Text. He has co-edited Totalitarian Art and Modernity (Aarhus University Press, 2010, co-edited with Jacob Wamberg), Expect Everything Fear Nothing: The Situationist Movement in Scandinavia and Elsewhere (Autonomedia, 2011, co-edited with Jakob Jakobsen), and Cosmonauts of the Future: Texts from the Situationist Movement in Scandinavia and Elsewhere (Autonomedia, 2015, co-edited with Jakob Jakobsen). Other recent activities include the exhibition “This World We Must Leave” (made in collaboration with Jakob Jakobsen) at Kunsthall Oslo, Dec. 2016-Jan-2017).

In Psychogeography 101 we discuss contemporary urban exploration practices with cultural theorist and psychogeographer Tina Richardson.  After tracing back to the mid-twentieth century work of the Situationist International, we outline what doing psychogeography looks like today and how it could—and should—be part of the practice of anyone seeking a better understanding of their own geographical imagination.

  This week we are joined in the studio by real life art critic for the Chicago Tribune and senior lecturer at the School of the Art Institute, Lori Waxman, to discuss her latest book Keep Walking Intently: The Ambulatory Art of the Surrealists, the Situationist International, and Fluxus Walking. We learn some art history, discuss the implications of walking-while-female, and Waxman connects her work to some favorite contemporary practitioners like Janet Cardiff and Chicago’s own Hui-min Tsen. This and more on this episode of Bad at Sports Center.

Another May Day come and gone! After we catch up on how radicals around the world celebrated it in the streets this year, we'll turn back the clock a few decades to a particularly notorious May: Paris in 1968. The strikes and riots that nearly toppled the French state—as well as the Situationist International, those Marxist-influenced art radicals whose theories influenced the uprising—are the topic of our main feature for this episode. One of the key texts coming from the Situationist tradition, Raoul Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life, appears on the Chopping Block. Listeners weigh in on future episodes, "Uncle Ted," and the Ukraine episode and anarchist strategy. And of course there's more news, events, prisoner birthdays, and other goodies.
