About The Inverted Museum
The Inverted Museum is a chronicle of curatorial strategies, border control, political landscapes, art, and artifact. The blog responds to the 11th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, The Crack Begins Within, in the frame of the Curatorial Workshop How now to gather.
Where art is inert a sensuous discourse ripples. In her poem, Why did she come? Egyptian poet Iman Mersal writes about artifacts in relation to museums; I think mummification is contrary to immortality, because a preserved corpse will never be part of a rose. The 11th Berlin Biennale is alive across continents.
Argentinian conceptualist Marie Nalte Orensanz proposes in her Manifesto Eros: “[P]ensar es un trabajo que hay que hacer todos los días. Lo que me interesa es que el otro piense, que descubra, que intervenga” — [T]hinking is an everyday act. What interests me is that one thinks, discovers, and intervenes. As a document, the blog avoids ossified conversations or transcribed texts, offering rehearsals for emerging practices.
The Inverted Museum invites viewers and future organizers to negotiate the contemporary, as proposed by Duygu Örs.
