Messe 2ok : ökonoMiese machen
Edited by / Herausgegeben von Alice Creischer, Dierk Schmidt, Andreas Siekmann
A reader from a fair for political initiatives and art groups, organised by Alice Creischer, Andreas Siekmann, Birger Huebel, Michaela Odinius and Dierk Schmidt. Took place parallel to Art Cologne 1995.
"Ein nahezu legendäres Buch im Großformat. Ein umfassendes Resümee zur politischen Diskussion autonomer Künstlergruppierung der 90er. Die Schwerpunktthemen sind:
Autonomie, Sponsoring, Stadtplanung und Ökonomie.
Die Messe 2ok war ein selbstorganisiertes und selbstfinanziertes Treffen von ca. 30 Gruppierungen aus dem Kunst-, Polit-, und Musikbereich aus der BRD, den Niederlanden, Dänemark, Italien, Ungarn, Österreich und der Schweiz parallel zur Art Cologne im November 1995.
Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte sind . . .
der politische Anspruch von nichtinstitutioneller Organisationsarbeit, deren Entscheidungsprozesse und deren ökonomische und politische Konsequenzen. Daran schließt sich eine ausführliche Behandlung des Themas Sponsoring an. Im Reader werden, neben zahlreichen Recherchen, Quellenmaterial und einer kritischen Bestandsaufnahme des bisherigen Standes der Diskussion in der Feuilletons (in denen Sponsoring seit dem vergangenen Jahr zum bevorzugten Thema avanciert), Vertragsentwürfe und die Diskussion von Strategien gegenüber Finanzierungsangeboten von politisch fragwürdigen Firmen (z.B. Siemens) vorgestellt.
und weiterhin: . . .
Autonomie: der Abgleich zwischen künstlerischen und politischen Autonomieverständnis Stadtplanung: der öffentliche Raum als privatwirtschaftliche Disposition: Strategien, Gegen-Projekte Ökonomie: kritische Diskussion der Paradigmen der politischen Ökonomie bzgl. der Aktualität der repressiven wirtschaftlichen Machtverhältnisse: Waren-, Geld-, Tausch- und Vermittlungsproblematik.
Der Reader bietet mit Beiträgen von über 20 AutorInnen einen umfassenden Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der politische Diskussion im Kunstbereich, den damaligen Strategien und dem daraus resultierenden Selbstverständnis autonomer künstlerischer Gruppierungen. Der Reader enthält Projektbeschreibungen, Interviews, Diskussionen, Aufsätze und Essays und vielfältige Materialien zu den einzelnen Themenschwerpunkten. Er enthält zahlreiche Abbildungen und gehört mit seinem bemerkenswerten Layout zu den diesbezüglichen Highlights der 90er Jahre." [1]

- The Constituent Museum. Constellations of Knowledge, Politics and Mediation
"What would happen if museums put relationships at the centre of their operations? This question inspires this publication, which offers a diverse, rigorous, and experimental analysis of what is commonly known as education, mediation or interpretation within museum institutions. It regards the visitor not as a passive receiver of predefined content, but as an active member of a constituent body, whom it facilitates, provokes, inspires and learns from. Moving beyond the practice of mediation as such, the publication situates constituent practices of collaboration and co-production within the existing social-political (neoliberal) context. It does this to reimagine and affect both the physical and organizational structures of museums and galleries.
Understanding the challenges of a constituent practice in an integral, interdisciplinary manner is what this publication aspires to. This is explored by placing the museum's constituents – museum professionals, active audience/co-curator, local and political agencies, operational structures and contexts – at the centre of the museum organization and looking at how their positions in society start to shift and change.
Issues that are addressed: ownership and power dynamics, collective pedagogy, pedagogy of encounter, collaboration, assent, dissent and consent, co-labour and co-curation (economies of exchange), precarity, and working with interns, archives and how to activate them, broadcasting, digital cultivation, crowdsourcing, and many other topics."

Permanent Revolution: Art in Ukraine, the 20th to the Early 21st Century
by Alisa Lozhkina (Аліса Ложкіна)
"Written by a leading Ukrainian curator and art critic, this book is an attempt to draw the history of the development of visual art practices in Ukraine, from the birth of modernism to the present day, into a cohesive narrative. Particular emphasis is given to the period since independence. How has the language of art changed over the last century and a half? What role has turbulence played in this process as Ukraine has undergone a series of transformations from its provincial status on the edge of the Russian Empire, through the difficult stage of building socialism, all the way to achieving independence, the Orange Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity, and the coming challenges of its most recent history? This analysis offers a brief overview of the main events and phenomena in Ukrainian art, as well as a variety of illustrative material from dozens of museum and private collections, and the archives of artists and their families.
This publication was made possible thanks to a grant from the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation (UCF) as a continuation of a 2019 project. Then, the support of the Zenko Foundation and the UCF made possible the publication of a Ukrainian-language version of this book with the publisher ArtHuss, as well as a French translation and publication of the manuscript with the publisher Nouvelles Éditions Place. Special gratitude is due to the head of the Zenko Foundation, Zenko Aftanaziv, as well as the project’s producer, Karina Kachurovska."

- Přednáška o vznikavosti
by Palo Fabuš with Luboš Svoboda
"Vnímáme čas a prostor spolu nebo odděleně? Na pokraji digitální doby nás Palo Fabuš přirovnává k světelnému paprsku plynoucímu časoprostorem, abychom se našli ve „vznikavém prostředí“. Vyvstává tak před námi poetická alternativa k současnému imperativu kreativity. Vedle svých dosavadních prací umělecké a kulturní kritiky autor otevírá novou kapitolu filosofie tvorby."
Kniha O vznikavosti završila cyklus čtyř přednášek Pala Fabuše přerývaných poezií Luboše Svobody.

- Something Else Press, Inc. (1963-1974)
"The publication accompanying the same-titled exhibition encompasses the research conducted by curators Alice Centamore and Christian Xatrec around Dick Higgins’s editorial project Something Else Press, which also operated as a gallery from 1966 onwards. The publishing house was founded at the height of the “linguistic turn”, a pivotal moment in 1960s art as artists began to use language and texts as a material for their aesthetic endeavours. Its unwavering aim was to take in the burgeoning creative experiments of composers, dancers, writers and artists of every stripe (many of whom were part of Higgins’s circle) and to give their ephemeral work the support needed to project it towards the future.
The essays included here explore the length and breadth of Dick Higgins’s project, the publisher, the gallery and the concept of “intermedia”, which he coined to define the heterogeneous forms that challenged all categories and tallied with the mould of “something else”."
With texts by Alice Centamore, Johanna Gosse, Danielle Johnson, Trevor Stark, Christian Xatrec.
