Pursuit: Failure
SEVERAL PURSUITS is looking for texts and papers that deal with the concept of FAILURE, in particular for those that deal with the concept in an experimental or otherwise novel approach, but are also interested in more academic formats. We are hoping to gather new ideas from this material to form the structures of a more experimental symposium format, to take place in Berlin in 2010.
After our CALL FOR REJECTS as a first stage of the project last year, many artists have followed the call and submitted images and accounts of works of art that they have rejected themselves yet hung onto. The full GALLERY OF REJECTS is on view on our website http://www.severalpursuits.org.
We look forward to receiving your thoughts, snippets, anecdotes, scripts and poems - let them be suggestive, instructive, constructive or destructive - we are curious about your ideas! See contact info below.

FURTHER ONGOING PURSUITS
PURSUIT: ALICE MICELI
SEVERAL PURSUITS is proud to announce the preparation of our first publication - a collaborative effort with the Brasilian, Berlin-based artist Alice Miceli. The publication will form part of her artwork ‘The Chernobyl Project’, for which the artist travelled to Belarus and the Ukraine several times over a period of three years. Whilst Miceli’s x-ray negatives, exposed in the exclusion zone around the reactor ruin in a self-built camera obscura, as well as her filmic works have been exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, the publication will comprise a collection of previously unseen materials accumulated over the course of the project. This will include official documents and letters of permission, as well as more subjective personal responses, which, although they exist outside the ‘exhibition works’, are still vital elements of the project itself and allow a further insight in Miceli’s practice and working processes beyond this particular project.
Read an
interview with Alice Miceli as a preface to the upcoming publication on our website.

Glauben Sie an die Wirklichkeit? Was für eine Frage, werden Sie antworten. Die Wirklichkeit ist doch nichts, woran man glauben müsste. Sie holt uns ohnehin sprichwörtlich ein, immer. Aber wovon sprechen wir hier denn überhaupt? Wie wäre es davon, dass man so oft hört, die Wirklichkeit sähe anders aus? Oder davon, warum es zur Gewohnheit geworden ist, so vielen Wörtern und Behauptungen ein ‚tatsächlich‘, ein ‚wirklich‘ oder ‚echt‘ beizufügen? Lassen Sie uns über die Risse in der Wirklichkeit sprechen, über den Abstand zwischen der Welt, über die geredet wird, und der Welt, die tatsächlich da ist. Aber wozu diese Unterscheidung? Weil die Wirklichkeit immer das Andere ist? Oder die Anderen? Alles, was draußen wartet?
Sprechen wir über die Selbsttäuschungen, da, wo die Wirklichkeit zu schmerzhaft wird. Sprechen wir vom fiktionalen Arsenal der Massenmedien und des Konsums, von den Rhetoriken der Ablenkung und der Beschwichtigung.
Müsste uns das nicht endlich zur Frage nach der Kunst der Gegenwart führen, nach ihrem Verhältnis zur Wirklichkeit?
Do you believe in reality? What a question, you’ll reply. Reality isn’t something you believe in. It proverbially catches up with you anyway, always. But then what are we talking about here? Maybe we could talk about the fact that you so often hear people saying something was different ‘in reality’? Or about why it has become so customary to add a ‘really’ or an ‘actually’ or an ‘in fact’ to so many of the things we say? Let’s talk about the cracks in reality, about the gap between the world we talk about and the world that’s really there. But why this distinction? Because reality is always the other? Or the others? Everything that’s waiting out there?
Let’s talk about the self-deceptions where reality becomes too painful. Let’s talk about the fictional arsenal of the mass media and consumerism, about the rhetoric of distraction and appeasement.
Won’t that ultimately lead us to question contemporary art, and its relationship to reality?

ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS N°10 KUNSTRAUM KREUZBERG / BETHANIEN
December 12th 2009 - January 10th 2010
CALL FOR ENTRIES
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: OCTOBER 15TH 2009
In the context of ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS a selection of drawings by international artists will be presented anonymously at KUNSTRAUM KREUZBERG / BETHANIEN. The general exhibition preparation starts with an international call for entries on the Internet. No demands are being made; age, biography or heritage of the originator do not play any role for the selection.
The artist's anonymity can be lifted by means of purchasing a drawing for the symbolic unit sales price of 150 EUR. The buyer can take his drawing right off the wall and s/he is then told the name of its author. The empty space the drawing leaves behind will be marked with the artist‘s full name and country of origin.
The given unit sales price should not be seen as a real market price, but as a place holder for any conceivable amount of money. Because the works are from both established artists and laymen, it is expected from the viewer to draw his own line between art and not-art. Common, art specific mechanisms like the importance of an artists` ego, price formation or prepared qualities which can be referred to a specific art context, should be reversed in this exhibition in an experimental way: the artists engage themselves to put their own person into the background for the benefit of the actual product, their artistic work.
