Eröffnung: Sonntag, 13. April 2025, 16 Uhr

Tanzperformance und Live-Ambient Set: Sonntag, 11. Mai 2025, 16 Uhr

Die neue Ausstellung unter dem Titel SPURENKÖRPER enthüllt die Intimität choreografischer Überlegungen, Aktionen, Verwerfungen und Findungen. Ein kreativer und produktiver Prozess, in den man selten einen Einblick erhält. Die junge Französin Aline Braun macht diesen auf ihre Art und in ihrem Verständnis transparent und für uns Außenstehende auf unkonventionelle Weise erfahrbar. Untypische grafische Partituren laden beispielsweise durch ein rhythmisch angelegtes Raster ein, den intimen choreografischen Prozess zu erspüren. Sie zeigt darin auf, dass diese Partituren keine starren Leitfäden darstellen, vielmehr offene Fenster sind – vom choreografischen Erstgedanken und über Gespräche zwischen der Choreografin und der Tänzerin, die das Stück hervorgebracht haben. Die Partituren zeigen, was aufgebaut, ausgelöscht und verändert wurde – und fächern eine bewegte Kartografie der Kreation auf."

BOOK REVIEW

Caring infrastructures

Transforming the Arts through Feminist Curating

By Sascia Bailer

"Caring Infrastructures: Transforming the Arts through Feminist Curating attempts to articulate an alternative roadmap for curating with care by critically engaging with care on thematic, representational, and (infra)structural levels – in discourse and in practice." (13)

In her book Caring Infrastructures: Transforming the Arts through Feminist Curating, Sascia Bailer creates an otherwise: not a utopia, not a dream of what care could be, but a practical guide that helps navigate the different layers of care. In a climate marked by the rise of new care-centered discourses, her book is a necessary read.

As a curator, researcher, caregiver, and mother, Bailer occupies multiple roles that allow her to address care in this practice-based research from different angles, always from a counter-hegemonic perspective. In Caring Infrastructures, feminist care is used as a methodological framework for the research, and by quoting various authors, activists, curators, and artists, she creates an ecosystem of resources that enables a feminist theoretical landscape to emerge and provides tools for the reader to prolong these discussions on care.

In a society where care is often rendered invisible and remains unpaid, the question of the responsibilities of curating and infrastructures is central. Bailer therefore proposes a shift toward the concept of “caring infrastructures” (24) and opens possibilities for enacting caring infrastructures as "a lived practice of care within the arts” (224). However, aware that a conceptual shift does not necessarily entail a structural or concrete transformation within existing infrastructures, Bailer offers a “soft manifesto for caring infrastructures”(269), accompanied by concrete and hands-on propositions. Caring infrastructures is not only conceptual work but also a form of (micro-)politics, challenging the status quo of infrastructural and care practices.

Perhaps one of Bailer’s questions can serve as a starting point: Who cares for the ones who care for others?
