A Broadcast in collaboration with: Marina Vishmidt
BÜCHS’N’RADIO in July 2013 is dedicated to Autonomy and the Politics of Reproduction in Art. Centre of attention is a lecture given by Marina VISHMIDT, a writer based in London, invited at Büchsenhausen by Kevin Dooley.
Marina Vishmidt, in connection to a book she is currently working on with Kerstin Stakemeier, will trace a history of the concept of the autonomy of art in capitalist modernity, and the singularities and collectivities that emerge from art’s encounter with the politics of reproduction in the era of the ‘contemporary’. From Hegel to Federici via Ukeles, it’s a condensed and partial history wrought out of the shared but not isomorphic commitments of both authors to actualizing Marxism, feminism and critical aesthetic theory for this present.
Marina Vishmidt is a London-based writer occupied mainly with questions around art, labour and the value-form. She holds an MA from the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy and has just completed a PhD at Queen Mary, University of London on ‘Speculation as a Mode of Production in Art and Capital’. Vishmidt co-edited Uncorporate Identity (Lars Muller, 2010) with Metahaven, and Media Mutandis: Art, Technologies and Politics (NODE. London, 2006), and contributes to catalogues, edited collections and journals such as Mute, Afterall, Parkett and Texte zur Kunst. She also takes part in the group projects Full Unemployment Cinema, Cinenova and Signal:Noise. She is currently writing a book with Kerstin Stakemeier on the politics of autonomy and reproduction in art (Hamburg: Textem, forthcoming).
