<http://rrf2005.newmediafest.org>
global networking project
created and developed by Agricola de Cologne

Curatorial statement
.
RealPlay has little to do with play, really. It is about playing for real.
Topically positioned in specific times and/or places, the works in RealPlay
contest,
counter and/or subvert dominant geopolitical and/or cultural notions with
reference to the colonial constructs of the "Middle East" and the "West"
This selection works as a broad political commentary as well as responses
to certain trends in "new media" discourse that explicitly or implicitly
(sometimes inadvertently) postulate and promote fundamental distinctions
and discontinuities between the "virtual" and the "real."
Such distinctions inevitably idealize the illusionary (utopic or distopic)
space where code is entirely capable of masterminding experience,
or where code becomes experience. The projects in RealPlay reject such
Western-oriented techno-centric and techno-determinist tendencies by
privileging urgent socio-political issues over media formalism and by
insisting on the priority of social interaction over, as well as through,
cyberspace interactivity. Using diverse practices of documenting and
archiving,
these projects capitalize on the function of the internet as a repository of
retrievable data and, more importantly, as a communication channel that
can be advantageously put to use towards inciting counter-hegemonic thought
and action.

About the curator:
Gita Hashemi (http://strictlypersonal.net <>)
engages in cultural practice as artist, writer, curator,
organizer,
worker and educator. Her most recent curatorial projects include
RealPlay (2004, netart exhibit)
Negotiations: From a Piece of Land to a Land of Peace
(2003, art-driven multidisciplinary event, http://negotiations2003.net <>),
WILL (2003, multidisciplinary transnational exhibition,
http://negotiations2003.net/will <>),
Afghanistan, 2002: No Refuge and Locating Afghanistan
(2002-3, image-text exhibition and publication with photography by Babak
Salari),
and Trans/Planting: Contemporary Art by Women from/in Iran
(2001, with Taraneh Hemami, http://strictlypersonal.net/transplanting <>).
.
Hashemi's labour as an intellectual has crystallized in simultaneous
processes #
of de/re/construction; not in any specific class of objects or within any
particular
representational genres, but in the envisioning of the spaces and
formulation
of the critical practices that can be constitutive in transformative social
and
political movements. Informed by her direct engagement in liberatory
political
struggles before, during and after the 1979 Iranian Revolution as well as
her
experience of exile in North America, Hashemi's work takes shape in a
continuous
process of countering masculinist discourses of fundamentalism, fascism,
colonialism,
corporatism and militarism. Notions of community, co-labouring, public space
and
active participation are integral to her creative engagement. So is the
understanding
that artistic practice, as a fundamentally social process, is inherently
political and must,
therefore, be subject to conscious (re-visionary) feminist re-articulation:
The political is personal, the personal is poetic, the poetic is political,
the political must become ethical.

Re: ArtExpo 2005 by Luca Curci in Italy
Yes,
Italy seems to be indeed a strange country in concern of
festivals, the Florence Biennial represents probably one of the worst,
but the organisation of Luca Curci belongs also to the worse ones.
There is certainly nothing wrong, if someone (Luca Curci)
wants to earn money by making his business (organisation of events),
but he should find other ways than asking artists for hyperdimensional fees.
Of course, again ( like Florence Biennial) the only criterium is the fee,
and not the quality of the art work.
There exist really many festivals in Europe which all ask not any fee,
many have a lot of reputation,
so one may ask, why an artist ever gets an idea to pay any fee, at all.
One can say in principle, that people who ask such high fees
are neither serious, nor professional,
at least in Europe it is like that.
