>The Sur Experience
>Fondazione Bevilacqua la Masa, Palazzo Tito
>27-28-30 October 2006
>3 conversations with
>
>Javier Toret Medina. Indymedia Estrecho, Fadaiat
>Jose Perez de Lama. Hackitectura, Fadaiat
>Santiago Barber. Fiambrera Barroca
>
>
>Programme:
>FRIDAY 27th October 6:00 p.m.
>Artistic-political experiments in Spain
>
>One could say that many of the contemporary interventions created by
>social movements have been and still are clearly influenced by guerrilla
>communicative actions (or creative activism).
>This characteristic leads us to the development of hybrid forms, and bends
>the internal part of the movement itself and its way of conceiving its own
>methods.
>The irruption into the social sphere, the forms of communicative
>interventions which create new ideals and overthrow dominant codes, the
>creative inventions of new forms of interaction with the public, have all
>multiplied the power and spectrum of contemporary politics. Thus the
>boundary between art and political action dissolves, taking away the
>creative exclusivity of the arts and reconsidering forms which have been
>inherited from politics.
>In this conversation we will try to reconstruct the genealogy of these
>methods and discuss our most significant experiences during the past few
>years in Spain, in order to analyse novelty and power.
>
>SATURDAY 28th OCTOBER 2:00 p.m.
>Social Movements and Artistic Institutions. Co-operations, Creations and
>Contrasts.
>
>During the past few years a path has begun to form – even if in a
>discontinuous manner – of experimentation and co-operation  between a part
>of the artistic and cultural institutions and a few elements which derive
>from the contemporary social movements. These interventions, which can be
>read as the desire for autonomy and creativity, find an unexpected
>accomplice in the embrace of these institutions. The transformations,
>which are taking place in contemporary forms and cultural and artistic
>productions, create material in the creative work of the movements which
>is sensitive to the institutional agents that deal with the genres used
>during these transformations of the cultural practices and the production
>of knowledge.
>This work with the artistic institutions has always been risky for social
>movements.
>This is an experimentation which, depending on the case in question, has
>shared itself as a kind of instrument, or as a punctual collaboration
>wherefore to put into action the various processes of innovation and
>creation.
>In this conversation there will be a presentation of the indicative
>problems of these experiences.
>
>
>MONDAY 3Oth OCTOBER 6:00 p.m.
>
>Cartographies, Methods of Investigation, Composition and Representation of
>Territory.
>
>Cartography: map oriented towards escape, attack and retreat lines. It
>differentiates itself from the mould through its capacity to renovate
>itself and the way it traces itself in a projective way...The cartographic
>method lives on the production of minor knowledge, the reorganisation and
>the gathering of forgotten collective knowledge. It finds itself in a
>context created by the necessity of the discovery and invention of a new
>territory. Maps and images, invented problems which shine a light on this
>process of creation and interdependency. Cartography as a mobility open to
>emerging processes, to zooms and space-time events. Cartography not as
>knowledge, but as continuous research, a study of the social composition
>and the cracks of reality. The reality of social processes in conflict.
>Cartography as a union of knowledge and subjects, of intertwining and
>opportunity. The cartography experiments on the territory, in the vast
>context of bio-political movements (artistic, cultural and social), have
>created a jargon which is useful in the presentation of forms or
>investigation, of representation and innovative communication, in the
>artistic environment as much as in the political environment. With
>reference to the many experiences carried out in Spain, some concrete
>cases
> (OtraMálaga, Cartografía del Estrecho, Sevilla
>global contracumbre in 2001) will be shown during the expo and will be
>analysed for their strength, mishaps and difficulties.
>

>Javier Toret: member of the Indymedia Estrecho and organiser of the first
>editions of Fadaiat.
>He works in the experimental research of artistic-social movements, and
>also deals with communication and organisational aspects of independent
>knowledge production locations. At present he works as a social researcher
>in the Social Rights office in Seville.
>
>Santiago Barber: Santiago Barber’s artistic and communicative productions
>are characterised by their collaboration with various social entities in
>the citizen networks involved in the processes of Urban Regeneration and
>autonomous social organisation. In this extremely collective viewpoint the
>connection between different parts of the social bodies suggests working
>to encourage new emerging social projects.
>Starting from his artistic experience, one could say his work is a
>promotion of a sort of interdisciplinarity (which could be called
>collaborative work), where investigation and experimentation walk hand in
>hand with processes of emancipation and social struggles. At the moment
>Santiago Barber works for autonomous networks in the city of Seville, and
>in particular in the Alameda District.
>
>José Pérez de Lama, a.k.a. Osfa: member of the Hackitectura.net collective:
>Architect posses, hackers and social activists working for the
>experimentation of emerging territories and cyborg spaces.
>These spaces are composed of a recombination of physical spaces, ITC
>networks and bodies.
>Osfa has also participated in the 2004 and 2005 editions of Fadaiat.
