L’Internationale Confederation@Göteborg City Library–Symposium: Publishing as Repair
13 October 2022
The symposium asks what is the role of art writing and publishing and the processes of mediating, distributing, and reading as an act of repair or resistance, to create spaces of non-violent encounter of thought and creation when public spaces for culture are at threat.
What are the tasks of research publishing beyond mere dissemination? What does it mean to think of publishing as a scene of relation, invention, inquiry, and coproduction? What is at stake in publishing when it is understood as an event of knowledge and art making in its own right? What are the strange ecologies of idea, image, language and doing/being that emerge at the scene of publishing? What is the contemporary role of printed matter? How might the editorial be understood as operative with reference to the curatorial?
Ecologies of Art Publishing, has been organised in the context of the launch of the new book from L’Internationale Online: Climate: Our Right to Breathe.
*The title is inspired by bell hooks’ book Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom.
TTTT is a no-credit collective research and study programme on critical pedagogy in the arts.
The actual study programme is structured in four one-week workshops during 2020 and is developed transnationally by three European art schools, erg in Brussels, HDK/Valand in Göteborg and ISBA in Besançon. It is funded by Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership Grant.
This syllabus published as part of the exhibition Reading the Library, Sitterwerk in St. Gallen, instigates discovery and learning within an educational context and aims to reveal the socially and historically produced orders and hierarchies that underlie library catalogues. This learning and teaching material includes conversations with practitioners and collectives currently working on alternative models proposing de-colonial and feminist methodologies for changing normative concepts of validating, preserving, and making available diverse knowledges.
With contributions by Amanda Belantara and Emily Drabinski (US), Annette Krauss, Anja Groten, Sven Engels, Aggeliki Diakrousigeliki (Feminist Search Tools, NL), Martino Morandi, Anita Burato (Infrastructural Manoeuvres, NL, BE), Élodie Mugrefya and Femke Snelting (Constant, BE), Lucie Kolb, Johannes Bruder, Karolina Sobecka (The Rewrite, CH), Nora Schmidt (AT), Eva Weinmayr (Library of Inclusions and Omissions, SE, UK), Bibliothek Wyborada (CH)

Collective Research, Noun to Verb: micro-politics of publishing, Presenting
Keywords in library catalogues are never neutral; they designate, classify, and index. An act of interpretation is thus always connected with them. They frame and determine how books and materials are found—and, to a certain extent, also how they are read or interpreted. What socially produced and embedded structures are found in the descriptive metadata of the Art Library? How can traces of the work on descriptors be made visible? How might it be possible to introduce keywords that focus less on demarcating a topic than on how it is possible to work with it, that do not describe what books are, but rather what they do, how we use them, and what they do to us?

Conventional intellectual property law binds authors and their hybrid contemporary practices in a framework of assumed ownership and individualism. It conceives creations as original works, making collective, networked practices difficult to fit. Within that legal and ideological framework, Copyleft, Open Content Licenses or Free Culture Licensing introduced a different view of authorship, opening up the possibility for a re-imagining of authorship as a collective, feminist, webbed practice. But over time, some of the initial spark and potentiality of Free Culture licensing has been normalised and its problems and omissions have become increasingly apparent. This study day is therefore meant to see if we can start re-imagining copyleft together.
Can we invent licences that are based on collective creative practices, in which cooperation between the machine and biological authors, need not be an exception? How could attribution be a form of situated genealogy, rather than accounting for heritage through listing names of contributing individuals? In what way can we limit predatory practices without blocking the generative potential of Free Culture? What would a decolonial and feminist license look like, and in what way could we propose entangled notions of authorship? Or perhaps we should think of very different strategies?

In capitalism, institutionalized libraries, publishers and book traders all have ways to suppress the publishing of, the access to or the distribution of texts and books — rigidities inviting for creative subversion. Download chapter
