Feminist Perspectives on Criticism and Culture
Center for Women's Studies, Zagreb, Croatia
The seminar deals with the meaning and dynamics of feminist art and theory in different environments determined by cultural geo-politics, studying the complex relations of feminist art’s effect on the world of art. How did the feminist movement contribute to the process of hybridization of institutions, what forms of innovative institutional practices were under direct influence of feminism, and what position does feminist art occupy today within critical art practices are some of the questions the seminar wants to address.
At a time when we need all available resources in order to understand the complexity of the social processes around us, we also need to strengthen responsibility within the cultural field, where re-actualizations of the feminist paradigm can represent an important deposit in that process, an indicator of many contradictions and unexplored political potentials.

Performing Pinoy: VIDEO e identidad cultural en Filipinas: 1999-2009
El ciclo presenta un conjunto de vídeos realizados por artistas que reflexionan e intepretan la idea de nación. La palabra pinoy nomina e identifica a los filipinos de cualquier parte del mundo, de ahí que Performing Pinoy debe entenderse en una triple dimensión: en su acción performativa, el que actúa, representa o declama como tal; en su acepción identitaria, es decir, el que analiza, interpreta o lo descifra; y en su extensión documental, el que registra, certifica y acredita lo filipino.
Performance- Los testimonios y las experiencias personales se viven dentro de un marco nacional desdibujado. Los artistas se integran en esa tierra desarraigada y, a la vez, se encuentran desintegrados de ella como se observa en los vídeos de Lena Cobangbang, Alvin Zafra, Poklong Anading, Bea Camacho, Ringo Bunoan, Sally Gutierrez, Kristofer Ardeña y Michelle Dizon.

JEU DE PAUME, PARIS, FRANCE
Enjeux sociaux et culturels, vecteurs d’une pensée collective de l’art ?, Organized by Elvan Zabunyan
With Michelle Dizon, Marcelo Expósito, and Andreas Fohr
En présence d’Aernout Mik et Société Réaliste.
séance 1/3 : Des auteurs très différents se réfèrent au travail d’Aernout Mik et de Société Réaliste en convoquant la même figure, celle du revenant. Une figure qui se tend entre deux espaces contrariés et qui crée le contact avec des expériences s’appuyant sur des renvois à l’utopie, à l’aliénation, à l’immigration, à l’architecture, à une historicité politique. Les intervenants de ce colloque travaillent ces questions dans le contexte d’un espace artistique critique et réfléchissent aux notions de déplacement de territoire, d’action politique et d’engagement idéologique. Leurs interventions seront suivies par une table ronde à laquelle participeront Aernout Mik et Société Réaliste, présentés actuellement au Jeu de Paume.
Sous la direction de Elvan Zabunyan, avec Michelle Dizon, artiste et théoricienne de l’art, Marcelo Expósito, artiste et commissaire d’exposition, Andreas Fohr, artiste et théoricien de l’art, et les artistes Aernout Mik et Société Réaliste. Art, histoire, politique : interactions et réflexions contemporaines Ce colloque en trois volets a pour but d’explorer, à la lumière des artistes programmés au Jeu de Paume en 2011, l’importance des liens entre art et politique.

VOX POPULI, PHILADELPHIA
FOURTH WALL, Curated by Jesse Aron Green
Empire (ABS-CBN) comes from Dizon's on-going cycle of works, Empire, in Fragments, which deal with the Philippines' colonial and neo-colonial history in an era of globalization. The videos that comprise the installation include shots of the movie theater at the former US military bases, shots of the walls that enclose the former seat of Spanish colonial power, shots of recently built infrastructure by the US on the southern war-torn island of Mindanao, and shots of the media conglomerate ABS-CBN's broadcast tower during a new year's celebration. All of these fragments weave together a spatial and temporal experience of the question of empire as it continues in the global south in general and in the Philippines in particular. Empire (ABS-CBN) documents the Philippine media conglomerate ABS-CBN's broadcast tower during a New Year's celebration in 2009. The work recalls Warhol's Empire in which Warhol filmed the Empire State building and slowed the film to a duration of eight hours. What is different in Dizon's work is that the "empire" is not the name of the building, but rather, a political history in the context of the Philippine nation state and its colonial and neo-colonial history.
