In the previous century, the Dutch closed off and drained their inland sea to reclaim new arable land. The island of Urk, situated in mid sea, suddenly found itself embraced by land. Its inhabitants were expected to switch from fishing to farming, but the fishermen managed to continue their trade. They found new fishing grounds, far out in the North Sea. Despite being part of the mainland for decades, the fishing village is still notoriously insular and its inhabitants continue to speak their own dialect. The film documents the material world of contemporary North Sea fishery and the fishermen's struggle with a changed public perception, fluctuating regulations, and excessive global competition, while parallels are drawn between fishing and filming. The following is an edited conversation about the film between

This co-authored text addresses that question in the context of the geo-political division of Africa after the Berlin Africa Conference (Congo Conference), as a means to conceptualise colonial rule in 1884/85 – and its manifold grave consequences – as a historical by-product of Europe’s political and aesthetic modernity. Is there any value in representing the image of genocide, (while acknowledging the ‘impossibility’ of its representation)? With these issues in mind, lawyer Malte Jaguttis and artist Dierk Schmidt offer a commentary based on their project, ‘The division of the earth -Tableaux on the legal synopses of the Berlin Africa Conference’.

Proposant une relecture du conceptualisme et de sa supposée résistance aux politiques de l’identité, ce livre détaille les manières dont des artistes conceptuel.le.s se sont emparé.e.s, en Europe, de considérations migratoires, de genre, de classe, de sexe ou de race, après les bouleversements politiques et sociaux de 1968. D’approche intersectionnelle, cette réflexion s’articule autour de quatre focus, respectivement consacrés au travail de Nil Yalter, Stanley Brouwn, David Medalla et Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc.

À partir de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, les pouvoirs coloniaux encourageaient leurs citoyens implantés dans les colonies à rassembler des objets pour enrichir les collections ethnographiques de la métropole et pour documenter la culture matérielle des sociétés qui – sous l’emprise de la colonisation – se transformaient rapidement. Les objets rassemblés lors de ces collectes se trouvent désormais dans de nombreux musées européens ou entre les mains de collectionneurs privés. Leur présence dans ces collections pose des questions épistémologiques, muséographiques et éthiques qu’il est urgent de soulever.
Ce livre, qui trouve son origine dans une série de tables rondes qui se déroulèrent dans le cadre de la 8e Biennale de Berlin pour l’art contemporain en 2014, engage donc ces problématiques grâce à des contributions de chercheuses et chercheurs, d’artistes ainsi que de commissaires d’expositions internationaux.
Collecting objects was a frequent practice among European colonial states in their occupied territories. From the second half of the nineteenth century, colonial powers encouraged their citizens in the colonies to collect objects that would enrich the ethnographical collections of the mother country and document the material culture of societies that – under the influence of colonialization – were undergoing rapid change. The objects collected ended up in countless European museums or in the hands of private collectors. Their presence in these collections raises epistemological, museographical and ethical questions in urgent need of consideration.
This publication, the fruit of a series of round tables held in 2014 during the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, raises these problematic issues with contributions from scholars, artists and international exhibition curators.
