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.

STILL INSISTING ON EMBODYING THE INSTITUTION !

Here comes: AVATARA PLENARA ZEITSTIPENDIA

I am the parliamentary embodiment of 10,000 Berlin-based visual artists – and their demand for time. – This is why I am a multitude, a WE, and the delegate of a radical idea: Flexible TIME GRANTS for Berlin artists. – I stand for this idea, here in the Berlin House of Representatives, flying the flag of the Independent Scene. – And I have been waiting here for quite a while. – Because time is a basic condition for us artists. – I will be here often now, because I want to help you. – I will explain to you why it is good, important and necessary to discuss the changing conditions of artistic, creative work in the city, NOW. – You can take part in the upcoming decisions on cultural policy. – THE TIME IS NOW!
