The first lockdown has driven us to a fighting spirit. Now, the second one feels more like a great melancholy. We would like to see art and culture as the very elixir of life in society. It should not occur only in Sunday speeches, not only in good times, but also, and especially in difficult times and times of crisis. Culture is a fuel for social development. But with the lockdown, an entire industry is muted without any ado. We strongly believe that we need culture to bring color and emotional warmth to our everyday life. Hence Window of FAME becomes active and opens its window for female artists.

MinEastry of Postcollapse Art and Culture is an art and research space dedicated to exploring our global contemporary from the vantage of postcollapse art and theory. Our frames of reference begin with the human experiences from Eastern Europe and Western and Central Asia since the fall of the Berlin Wall but permeate to every corner of our diasporic world-presence. Whereas the terms postwar, postcolonial, and even postmodern mark the contours of new social realities shaped in the aftermath of certain historical ruptures, the term postcollapse offers a new mode of thinking collectively “from eastward out.” Essentially, postcollapse captures who we are, what we make, and how we think as artists and scholars producing work today. MPAC is interested in bold and daring ideas that lead to thoughtful art and research-based projects. Our programming includes art exhibitions, artist talks, roundtables, published manuscripts, and other projects. We invite artists, scholars, and art professionals whose work resonates with postcollapse to make use of our space and resources. In this space, we create, curate, and collaborate.

School of Commons (SoC) is a community-based initiative dedicated to the study and development of self-organized knowledge. We promote a broad, integrative understanding of knowledge, and focus on matters surrounding the production and mediation of knowledge with a focus on self-organized practices and knowledge decentralization. Located at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), the content and position of SoC is defined by our community rather than a predetermined program; research is conducted in our three labs (LEARN, MAPP, and READ), all of which are run as peer-based collaborative endeavours with annually changing members. Our labs bring together a wide range of participants, guests, and contributors who share their curiosity, skills, and visions. We offer personal support, financial resources, and an active community of peers and experts engaged in a wide range of topics. ✨ For more information, check out our website or get in touch!

Exhibition space in Basel. Run by Caroline von Gunten and Simon Lieberherr. Mission Das FAQ ist ein Kunstraum, eine Galerie und ein Ort für Projekte. Frequently Asked Questions sind der kuratorische Leitfaden des FAQ. Die gezeigten Positionen werden sich alle oft gestellten Fragen stellen. Damit soll die Möglichkeit für Künstlerinnen und Künstler geschaffen werden, sich mit zeitgenössischen Fragestellungen auseinander zu setzen. Die Mischung der Sprachen im Namen des Ausstellungsraumes deutet darauf hin, dass sich dieser Ausstellungsraum zur Gänze in der Gegenwart befindet. Er ist dem Druck und den Einflüssen globaler Sprachen, neuer Medien und sich verschiebender Kulturen nicht nur ausgesetzt, er probiert laufend zu Adaptieren und zu Lernen. Vernetzung, Öffentlichkeit und niedrigschwelliger Zugang bilden den Rahmen für alle Aktivitäten im FAQ. Das Jetzt und dessen unmittelbarer Transport in das globale Bewusstsein des Cyberspace bilden einen zentralen Ansatz der Vermittlungsstrategie des FAQ.
