on cooperation in international art exchange with Susanne Gaensheimer, Marcel Odenbach, Francoise Verg\u00e8s, and Carla Zaccagnini, chaired by Tobi Maier<\/p>\n
The title of this panel discussion includes a reference to sociologist Richard Sennett\u2019s book \u201cTogether: The Rituals, Pleasures and Politics of Cooperation.\u201d Sennett proposes that cooperation is a basic mode that enables collaborative interaction, joining \u201cpeople who have separate or conflicting interests, who do not feel good about each other, who are unequal, or who simply do not understand one another. The challenge is to respond to others on their own terms.\u201d<\/p>\n
This discussion has addressed questions such as which conditions bring us together, and which cultures of togetherness can we establish? Which institutional structures are necessary, and how can we shape our encounters on a friendly basis? What are the forms and dynamics of intercultural collaboration? Where do we come up against limitations, and what can we learn from open cooperation? What is the role of biennials as venues for international exchange, and what are their various local effects? Do they reflect independent cycles of cooperation and legitimation? What can ifa do as a mediator between these contexts?<\/p>\n
The panel members work internationally in art and culture, representing artistic, practical, and theoretical perspectives. Together they will explore the practices of cooperation.<\/p>\n
