#Lisa middleman series
The exhibition will be accompanied by the symposium ‘A Shared Authorship: On the collective and participatory nature of exhibition-making today’, a series of conversations between the participants, invited guests and the public, which will be held on Monday 4 June at the KABK. The exhibition aims to become a communal and festive atmosphere generated by all of us, including the visitors, as performers of non-fixed meanings who collectively participate in this ephemeral moment of time and space. This flexible and in-between identity set the tone for the decision to include in the exhibition not only individual artworks by the ERL participants but also a collectively produced installation. ‘The Middleman” is an ambiguous figure, who can be thought of as a curator, an artist, or a curious spectator.
‘The Middleman’ reflects on the agency of contemporary collective and participatory exhibitions and its relation with power interplays. Is an exhibition a mere platform for presenting an artwork? Or is it an intrinsic part of the creative process? Where lies the difference and what are the implications of these different positions for the artist’s research process and artistic practice? How do various curatorial roles relate to notions of artistic autonomy? Why do artists make exhibitions anyway? Participants in the ERL 2018 are students of the BA ArtScience, BA Fine Arts, BA Interior Architecture and Furniture Design, BA Graphic Design, BA Photography at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague and the MA Art of the Contemporary World and World Art Studies at Leiden University.
