'Artists and Maritime technology' A digital seminar series curated by Gabriel Gee (Franklin University, TETI Group) in collaboration with La Capraia, Centre for the Art History of Port Cities.
'Maritime Poetics' a TETI publication at Transcript Verlag
"In the past fifty years, port cities around the world have experienced considerable changes to their morphologies and their identities. The increasing intensification of global networks and logistics, and the resulting pressure on human societies and earthly environments have been characteristic of the rise of a "planetary age". This volume engages with contemporary artistic practices and critical poetics that trace an alternate construction of the imaginaries and aspirations of our present societies at the crossroads of sea and land – taking into account complex pasts and interconnected histories, transnational flux, as well as material and immaterial borders."
In conversation with Chang Chih-Chung
An interview held in Kaohsiung harbor in March 2019. Artist Chang Chih-Chung talks about his research and engagement with the history of the Taiwanese port
Ghost Ship Trailer
The exhibition le café de la marine would have taken place at Kulturfolger in Zurich in February 2021. Restrictions imposed by the global pandemic turned the project into a spectral exploration, in which the works of the participating artists are activated through film. What forms do spectres emerging from the past take in our industrialised present? What are the ghosts of our material trajectories, the haunted signs at the heart of our globalised metropolis? The filmic work engages in a dialogue with the artists’ works to create a narrative reflecting on our present social fragmentation, technological anchorage and evanescent circulation. Ghost ship, the movie, will be released in the Spring. The Ghost Ship crew is Amélie Bargetzi, Damian Christinger, Gregory Collavini, Anne-Laure Franchette, Dorota Lukianska, Cora Piantoni. Technical crew is Amélie Bargetzi, Philippe Desarzens, Anne-Laure Franchette, Cora Piantoni. Navigation by Gabriel Gee.
Ghost ship was a month long spectral project organised by Teti group at Kulturfolger, Zurich, exploring global uncertainties through maritime lenses and spatial displacement.
Many thanks to Kulturfolger for hosting the Ghost ship, which was supported by the Guggenheim Stiftung.
