Inhaltsangabe

Artistic and curatorial practices can be seen as the prime testimonies of transformative movements—on the one hand situated in a specific site and region, and on the other, transgressing disciplines, classes, norms—proposing new forms and relations of living and establishing these practices (building centres along the way) but at the same time always changing their positions, never staying at the centre, but instead unfolding on the periphery of social life.In this OnCurating Issue, we searched for and researched projects and institutions that hold at their core something between the lines of centres–peripheries with their transversal practices and modus operandi. For many of our interview partners, the question of oppositionality is less important than the equal networking of their own artistic and curatorial practices in an international exchange, which is informed by the historical and local references of the particular place. These projects do not establish a distinction—aesthetically and personally; they open up to a broader public (and not only the “art insider”), and they relate to an embracing mode of encounters with “other” cultures, identities, and ideas, and present an inclusive gesture. This Issue of OnCurating came together over a period of two years, from 2018 to 2019. Students of the Postgraduate Programme in Curating (www.curating.rog) researched (de)centralised artistic and curatorial practice. These essays are published in the first part of this issue. Most of these contributions were advised by art and cultural scientist Aoife Rosenmeyer in 2018. In a second input in 2019, students (and lecturers) of the Postgraduate Programme in Curating conducted interviews with curators, artists, and projects close to this topic, expanding on the notion of the (de)centralised, shifting to the precarious dichotomy of Centre–Periphery and its complex constellations within art, culture, politics, and economics.
