SONIC ACTS ACADEMY 2020Terike Haapoja – Vulnerability, Community, Animality – The Art of Being Here with Others22 February 2020 – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsNew York-based artist Terike Haapoja represented Finland at the 55th Venice Biennale (2013). Her projects and collaborations, including those in collaboration with Laura Gustafsson, challenge human-centric perspectives. Gustafsson&amp;Haapoja enacted a trial in which eight-year prison sentences were given for killing wolves and opened a museum for cattle. In 2019, their 16-speaker sound installation of pigs awaiting slaughter brought the animal factory to Zone2Source in Amsterdam.Terike Haapoja’s lecture Vulnerability, Community, Animality – The Art of Being Here with Others, takes 2020 as a landscape of deepening polarisation in the political sphere as well as between people and Earth’s other inhabitants. At the core of these divides is a question of the ​‘we’ of political community, traditionally defined as ​‘we the people’. On one side of the void looms white nationalism, closing borders and rising fascism. On the other, rights of nature and decolonial demands to dismantle the state apparatus. This void hides legal divides between things and persons, and ontological divides between subjects and objects: gendered and racialised mechanisms of making killable and making sovereign. How these divides have been constructed and how we could rethink them is at the core of Haapoja’s interdisciplinary work. Starting from her collaborative art projects, Haapoja approaches questions of animalisation, law, interspecies communality, vulnerability and ethics in relationship to art and its role in political change.Terike Haapoja is a visual artist based in New York. Haapoja’s large-scale installation work, publications, writings and political projects investigate the mechanics of othering with a specific focus on issues arising from the anthropocentric worldview of Eurocentric traditions. Haapoja represented Finland in the 55th Venice Biennale (2013) with a solo show in the Nordic pavilion, and her work has been awarded with several prizes, including ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art (2016), Dukaatti prize (2008) and an Ars Fennica Prize nomination and for her work with writer Laura Gustafsson as Gustafsson&amp;Haapoja. Haapoja is an adjunct professor at Parsons Fine Arts and New York University.

Sonic Acts 2020: Terike Haapoja – Vulnerability, Community, Animality

GLOBALE: Tribunal – A Trial Against the Transgressions of the 20th Century | Symposium Fri, June 19 - Sun, June 21, 2015 The GLOBALE begins with a tribunal at which the 20th century will be tried for its transgressions and crimes against humanity, animals, and nature. Indictments will be sought for genocide such as the Holocaust, the exploitation of the Earth, and the extermination of the animal world by humans. With a conference, a panorama-screen installation, and a film program, the tribunal will present a critical review of the 20th century, a “century of extremes” (Eric Hobsbawm, 1994) and declining inhibition. The three-day event takes its cue from Franz Kafka’s novel »The Trial« (1914/1915) and prominent trials of the 20th century. The historical trials that serve as a model for this tribunal are the dadaist trial against Maurice Barrès (1921), the Nuremberg Trials, and the Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal. As the first international tribunals prosecuting war crimes, the Nuremberg Trials are exemplary of legal proceedings to ascertain individual guilt in crimes against humanity. The Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal, also known as the Russell Tribunal, was initiated by Lord Bertrand Russell in 1966, as a private body for investigating and evaluating American war crimes in Vietnam. It later served as the model for investigating violations of international law; for example, for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal. Our tribunal also reminds us of the legal importance of Karlsruhe – the seat of both the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Attorney General of Germany. The presentations will deal with the history of violence and genocide, expulsion and persecution in the 20th century. The speakers are distinguished scholars and artists exploring these themes from historical, legal, philosophical, and artistic perspectives, who will present their latest research findings. Conference languages are English and German. /// Die GLOBALE beginnt mit einem Prolog am 19. Juni 2015 im ZKM: mit einem Prozess gegen die Verfehlungen des 20. Jahrhunderts und seine Verbrechen gegen Mensch, Tier und Natur. Angeklagt werden Völkermorde wie der Holocaust, die Ausbeutung der Erde und die Ausrottung der Tierwelt durch den Menschen. In Form einer Konferenz, einer Panorama-Screen-Installation und eines Filmprogramms liefert das Tribunal eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Tribunal findet im ZKM an einem geschichtlich belasteten Ort statt. 1915, vor genau 100 Jahren, war Baubeginn des sog. Hallenbaus als architektonisch avancierte Waffen- und Munitionsfabrik. Während des Dritten Reiches mussten Tausende von Zwangsarbeitern hier unmenschlichen Dienst tun. Insofern ist der Hallenbau auch ein Mahnmal der im Tribunal verhandelten Verbrechen. Die dreitägige Veranstaltung wird vom ZKM in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Roman »Der Prozess« (1914/1915) von Franz Kafka sowie historischen Prozessen wie etwa André Bretons dadaistischem Schauprozess gegen Maurice Barrès (1921), den Nürnberger Prozessen oder dem »Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal« inszeniert. Die Nürnberger Prozesse stehen als erster internationaler Prozess gegen die Kriegsverbrechen beispielhaft für die juristische Verhandlung der individuellen Schuld an Vergehen gegen die Menschlichkeit. Das »Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal«, auch unter dem Namen »Russell-Tribunal« bekannt, wurde 1966 von dem Mathematiker, Philosophen und Literaturnobelpreisträger Lord Bertrand Russel als private Nichtregierungsorganisation ins Leben gerufen, um die US-amerikanischen Kriegsverbrechen im Vietnamkrieg zu untersuchen. Später diente es als Modell für die Untersuchung von Völkerrechtsverletzungen, z. B. das UN-Kriegsverbrechertribunal. Das Tribunal erinnert auch an die Bedeutung Karlsruhes als »Residenzstadt des Rechts«, in der sowohl das Bundesverfassungsgericht, der Bundesgerichtshof als auch die Bundesanwaltschaft ihren Sitz haben.
