Insistere # 7 / Don´t fuck with my name (hacking the curator), Insistere_Sabine Reinfeld/Ulf Aminde
KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin 2013
In their project Insistere Insistere#7_Don't Fuck With My Name (Hacking the Curator) Sabine Reinfeld and Ulf Aminde create an avatar of Ellen Blumenstein that among other things examines how a curator, and her work, structure an institution.
The avatar – Ellen Bluumenstein / chief curator – not only investigates the performative qualities necessary for the portrayal of identities, but also asserts itself in the responsibilities of the institution with gestures of subjectivisation, and demands a response.
