This symposium explored the social turn in exhibition-making in Europe and North America in the 1990s, looking at the part played by political activism, institutional critique and forms of socialisation influenced by the media and the moving image. Questioning labels such as 'Kontext Kunst', 'social engagement' and 'relational aesthetics', the participants discussed developments in recent contemporary exhibition history, including exhibitions staged outside of the art institution that engaged with site in the broadest sense. Speakers included Doug Ashford, Claire Bishop, Sabeth Buchmann, Charles Esche, Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt, Stéphanie Jeanjean, Renate Lorenz, Christian Philipp Müller and Stephan Schmidt-Wulffen.

In this seminar, Emily Wardill will discuss her new feature-length film, Game Keepers Without Game (2009) in conversation with the poet J.H. Prynne.
Game Keepers Without Game is based on the seventeenth-century play Life is a Dream (La Vida es Suena) by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. The film takes Calderón's story of an imprisoned prince and translates it into the context of contemporary London. The original's themes of morality, incarceration and truth resurface in Wardill's present-day narrative of a violent child, put up for adoption at an early age, who re-enters the family home as a teenager and a stranger.
J.H. Prynne studied at Cambridge and has taught there for some time. He has published twenty-nine collections of poems from 1968-2009, all but two reprinted in his Poems (2005), with another collection currently in press. Also there are a few extended commentary-essays: on the Han Chinese lyric, on a painting by Willem de Kooning, on a sonnet by Shakespeare and on a short poem by Wordsworth, and a lecture on 'Huts'. Recently he has been travelling in Nepal. Some fuller information can be found on websites.
Read a Guardian profile of J.H. Prynne here.
Emily Wardill is a London-based film-maker. She has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, including solo projects at Spacex, Exeter (2009); ICA, London (2008); Fortescue Avenue/Jonathan Viner, London (2005 and 2006); and STANDARD (OSLO) (2008). Her work has been screened at the Art Now Lightbox, Tate Britain; the International Short Film Festival, Oberhausen; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Witte de With, Rotterdam; and the London Film Festival. In 2008, Wardill was nominated for the Jarman Award and performed Life is a Dream at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 2007.

What does it mean to take part in culture beyond the roles that
culture assigns to us, beyond the roles of viewers and voters,
listeners and demonstrators, visitors and protestors? Can we find
new modes of engagement within the spaces of contemporary art,
perhaps by galvanising the attention that these spaces demand, in
search of some other form of inhabitation?
Over the past few years of thinking and writing about
'participation', I have been struck by just how much our
terminology of 'art', 'exhibition', 'audience', etc. fails to
capture the emergent dynamics within the expanded field of art.
This talk explores the different models of participation which we
forge through affective regimes, sites of knowledge-production and
circulation, conversation and unexpected exchange, as well as the
possible new vocabulary we need in order to work critically with
it.

To celebrate the launch of the latest title in Afterall's One
Work series, Chris Marker: La Jetée by Janet Harbord,
we are pleased to invite you to a special event at the French
Institute in London, with a screening of Marker's films La
Jetée and Remembrance of Things to Come, introduced
by Janet Harbord.
Chris Marker's La Jetée (1962) is considered one of the
greatest experimental films of all time. This short film, a
compelling science-fiction story set in a post-apocalyptic future,
where humanity searches to save itself through experiments in time,
is composed almost entirely of black-and-white photographs. It will
be also be a rare opportunity to see Marker's more recent
Remembrance of Things to Come (2002) which is both a
documentary portrait of the French photographer Denise Bellon and a
reflection on the two momentous decades between 1935 and 1955.
Following the screenings, drinks will be served and copies of the
book will be available at a special discounted price.

For the past fifty years, the love/hate affair between art and
cinema has triggered vital aesthetic, social and political

images in museums and galleries.
This event also marks the launch of the critical reader Art and
the Moving Image. Series editor Charles Esche will introduce
presentations (including short screenings) by a number of the
authors: Sabeth Buchmann on Helio Oiticica's Quasi-Cinemas, Bruce

To celebrate the launch of the latest title in Afterall's
One Work series, Alighiero e Boetti: Mappa by
Luca Cerizza, we are pleased to invite you to a special event at
the Italian Cultural Institute in London, with a conversation
between Luca Cerizza and Annemarie Sauzeau, Director of Archivio
Boetti.
In 1971 Alighiero e Boetti commissioned Afghan embroiderers to
create a map of the world, with each country bearing the colours
and pattern of its flag. The commission grew into a large-scale
series of maps produced over a period of twenty years in Kabul,
Afghanistan and Peshawar, Pakistan. Each map tracked geopolitical
changes throughout the world: the break-up of the Soviet Union, the
unification of Germany, disputes over territories in the Middle
East and regime changes in the Eurasian peninsula. In this new
study of the work, Italian curator Luca Cerizza looks at it in
relation to world events and the history of map-making, as well as
to the contemporary art movements of Minimalism, Conceptualism and
Arte Povera.
Afterall and The Showroom, London, are pleased to announce a new
ongoing series of seminars and events that take place at The
Showroom alongside the publication of each issue of the journal.
These aim to create a wider forum in which to collaboratively flesh
out editorial content with a small group of participants, and to
broaden the remit of the journal by bringing it into contact with
other ideas, practices and debates.
The first seminar is dedicated to the work of Berlin-based
filmmaker Hito Steyerl, whose work is featured in Afterall issue 19
(Autumn/Winter 2008). The seminar will involve the screening of two
recent films by Steyerl, November (2004) and Lovely
Andrea (2007), followed by a group discussion led by the
artist around issues that will include the politics of
representation and the articulation of protest through the moving
image.

To celebrate Afterall 18, please join us for a three-week rooftop series of sci-fi inspired films and artists videos screened atop the landmark Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. In the high season of summer blockbusters, this series presents low-fi cult features and artist videos that use elements of science fiction to cast new light on earthly struggles and everyday phenomena. Outer space is used as a metaphor for psychological inner space, post-apocalyptic futures and interplanetary utopias are imagined through the quotidian lens of social progress, and android life illuminates human dysfunction on Earth. <\p>
As part of Nought to Sixty, a programme of exhibitions
and events at the ICA, London, Afterall will lead a

art discourse. The event will elaborate on current models for
publishing on art, and the role of criticism in relation to these
structures.

danger and adventure on the China seas. Among those that gather
aboard her ship, Orlando, are a housewife, a diva, a psychologist,
a 'native' beauty, and an artist (played by Yvonne Rainer). Fueled
by discontent, their utopia unravels as they begin to ritualize the
power games of the outside world.
