Bland snippor och storstakar
– Genus och smak inom det samtida konsthantverket och industriformgivningen
Penny Sparks bok ”As Long as it’s Pink: The Sexual Politics of Taste” väckte stor uppmärksamhet då den kom ut 1995. Den lyfte en rad ingångar till genus, sexualitet och smak på designområdet. Ett och ett halvt decennium senare slog Åsa Jungnelius igenom för den stora publiken med objekt som ”Storstaken” och ”Snippan”. Både Spark och Jungnelius har ett intresse för könsmaktsstrukturer och hur de tar sig uttryck i den materiella kulturen; i modet, i konsthantverket och inte minst i det privata hemmet. I seminariet möts forskaren/skribenten och konstnären/formgivaren för att dela med sig av sitt utforskande bland rosa tandborstar och erotiska fallosar.
Moderator är Johan Wingestad, ordförande för KIF – Sveriges Konsthantverkare och Industriformgivare. Seminariet hålls med anledning av KIF:s jubileumsutställning Fribrytare (KIF 1961-2011) som visas på Form/Design center mellan den 24/4 – 3/6.

Chisinau Circumvention – art and social progress in peripheral regions
Conference, Chisinau, The Republic of Moldova State University, str. A. Mateevici 60, Main Building, Conference Room – 511
November 9th and 10th 2011, 11-18
This conference was created as a networking platform for the future, for artists, art managers and curators to meet and share experiences. The event is focused on developing cross-regional cooperation among independent art initiatives from post-Soviet countries and beyond. The main theme for the conference is how art can work as a propelling force for social progress in countries where cultural institutions are not necessarily something you can depend on. How do artists work with questions of social progress? What difficulties are there where the art producers work or come from regarding the artistic practice that needs to be circumvented?
The invited artists, curators and art managers from Sweden, Georgia, Belarus and the Republic of Moldova will talk about their strategies on how to operate in peripheral regions in relation to their own work. How could an art initiative operate autonomously? How can you organize production and develop art discourse in the context of a nonexistent art market? These are the existential questions that artists and producers of culture has dealt with for decades, where a notion of transition is a given context.
After the conference in Kalmar in September we counted ten newly created collaborations involving artists from invited countries. It is the intention of the conference and its contributors Kalmar konstmuseum (www.kalmarkonstmuseum.se), KSAK Center for Contemporary art (www.art.md/), the Oberliht Association (www.oberliht.com/), with support from the Creative Force project of the Swedish Institute, that the meetings between the attendees will lead to new collaborative projects.
In conjunction with the conference there will be an exhibition, by the artists of the conference curated by Stefan Rusu and Martin Schibli, opening at ArtHotel (Gh. Asachi str. nr. 53/1, lit. “A”, Chisinau) and Flat Space (Bucuresti 68, Chisinau) at 16.00 on Tuesday 8th of November.
