Giving Form to the Impatience of Liberty An exhibition by Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart Curators Iris Dressler, Hans D. Christ Grupo Baja Mar Ricardo Basbaum, Igor Vamos, Dale Yeo, Elisabeth Mc Lendon, Daniel García Andújar Cerrado - Estamos Vigilando – Ocup do (Closed – We are watching – Occup d), 1994 Video documentation of a threepart intervention with rakes at the beaches Playa de Gros and Playa de La Concha in San Sebastian in July 1994.   In 1994, Spanish-American artist Antoni Muntadas was offered a solo show at the Arteleku art institute in San Sebastian. He instead suggested a workshop for art students, which finally led to the project Urban Intervention , runed by Muntadas and artists such as Hans Haacke and Krzysztof Wodiczko. Among the participants were Ricardo Basbaum, Igor Vamos (better known these days as The Yes Men), Dale Yeo, Elisabeth Mc Lendon and Daniel García Andújar, who together made up the Grupo Baja Mar (low tide). Their project consisted of three conceptual pieces done at the Gros and La Con - cha beaches. They used rakes to write three statements in the sand, one after the other, at low tide – cerrado (closed), estamos vigilando (we are watching), and ocup [ ] do (occup [ ] d).

WORKSHOP November 22–25, 2012 Daniel García Andújar, Listen To The People‘s Wrath In English Language Based on the „anti-anti-riot-kit“ which Daniel García Andújar produced for the exhibition Acts of Voicing at Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart, this workshop understands itself as an open offer to explore analogue and digital techniques of protest, both in theory and practice. Protest forms that use the street as stage are of main interest here. The basic tools of the workshop are a conversed ant-riot-gear, stencils, t-shirts, flags etc. The latter carry among other things the slogan “Let’s Democratize Democracy”. Further tools are mechanical movable types, a so called “action camera”, and a digital archive with materials from the fields of riot, anti-riot, and anti-anti-riot. The workshop aims to develop horizontal and collective ways of working as well as a productive and at the same time (self)critical analysis of the forms and formats of protest: their performativity, choreographies and role allocations. Present, past as well as upcoming protests and protest movements can serve here as references.

e-stuttgart.org versteht sich als offenes Diskussionsforum zu den – im engeren und weiteren Sinne – kulturpolitischen Entwicklungen in Stuttgart. Vor dem Hintergrund jahrzehntelanger Kürzungen und Stagnationen der Zuschüsse im Kulturbereich, den aktuell drohenden erneuten Einschnitten im Kulturetat, den Diskussionen um die Abschaffung der Geisteswissenschaften an der Universität Stuttgart oder den kontroversen Debatten um „Stuttgart 21“, geht e-stuttgart.org im Oktober 2009 online: Um die kulturpolitischen Zustände in dieser Stadt auf breiter Ebene zu diskutieren, Informationen zu bündeln und auf vielfältige Weise in Aktion zu treten.

Subversive Practices Art under Conditions of Political Repression 60s–80s / South America / Europe Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart May 30 – August 2, 2009 Curators: Valentín Roma, Daniel García Andújar Ricardo Bofill/Taller de Arquitectura, Eugeni Bonet (Archive), COAC Archiv, Enric Franch (Archive), Antoni Muntadas, Pere Portabella, Grup de Treball, Sala Vinçon (Archive) This project sets out to reconstruct the aesthetic and political dimension acquired by conceptual practices in Catalonia during the nineteen-seventies. With this in view, the analysis has been oriented toward a set of proposals developed in a variety of areas—art, architecture, design, film, and education—which nevertheless all shared the same circuits of visibility, closely related language and attitudes, and certain ideological positions that were characterized by their spirit of protest and antagonism. The core of the project consists of five pieces by the Grup de Treball that in some sense point to the disciplines mentioned above. In order to contextualize these, a heterogeneous archive has been put together, drawn from the documentary holdings of (amongst others) the COAC (Association of Architects of Catalonia), the Sala Vinçon gallery, the FAD decorative arts association, and the Elisava and Eina design schools, along with a number of art projects—the film Esquizo (Schizo) by the Taller de Arquitectura and Reflexões sobre a morte (Reflections on Death) by Antoni Muntadas, among others—and also a selection of visual and bibliographical documents from those years. (Valentín Roma, Daniel García Andújar)
