<font size="-2"><b>KLASSENSPRACHEN/CLASS LANGUAGES at District</b><br>
July 20, 21, 22<br>
<br>
Malzfabrik<br>
Bessemerstraße 2-14<br>
12103 Berlin<br>
<br>
<br>
“The sign is the arena of C.”<br>
<br>
“As a ‘struggle of form,‘ C. is not only concerned with
political forms […]. <br>
The struggles of form are struggles for meaning; they imbue
culture and language with active resistance.”<br>
<br>
In dictionary entries, their initials represent terms after
their first mention. <br>
Class, class struggle, class contradiction, as well as crisis,
catastrophe, and colonialism turn into C. Our C. stands for
Class Languages. <br>
Given the inextricable crisis of legitimacy of global
capitalism and the rise of right-wing populisms, we witness a
return to the repressed relation of Class—a return that is
enacted in many tongues.<br>
<br>
In contemporary art, the purposeful alienation, appropriation,
and misappropriation of language from professionalized
truisms, stylistic forms, academic constraints, popular
patterns, political resentments, and economic circumstances,
plays an increasingly important role. In print media as well
as text-based works in social media, in performed texts,
refrains, and forms of public address and narration, languages
emerge that deny instantaneous consumption and communication
and wrest different kinds of filters from reality.<br>
<br>
With CLASS LANGUAGES, we want to bring together a panorama of
these filters – an assembly of forms of possible ‘ways out’,
as Gilles Deleuze und Félix Guattari phrased it with Franz
Kafka: “A line of escape, and not freedom. A vital escape and
not an attack.” We want to take the increasingly
differentiated language practices of contemporary art—in
Berlin and beyond—as a starting point and search for class
languages that delineate ‘ways out’, where attacks all too
often defer to the syntax of what is attacked. This also calls
for the acknowledgement of our own practice as a problem and
the need of its reorganization. Because the notion of class
does not only bear hope for a communal form of living but also
the possibility of social alienation: Class is both problem
and solution. Or, put differently, we are part of the problem
whose solution we desire.<br>
<br>
With the three threads of the project—exhibition, magazine,
and debate—we seek to examine how the assertion of CLASS
LANGUAGES can be made productive in the context of
contemporary art: how can the goals and desires of authors and
addressees be shared, how can professionalized forms of
writing about art be reconfigured, how can an assembly of
escape figurations bring forth provisory forms of living? We
want to examine the classes that speak from within
us—nostalgic, contemporary, and future ones, exclusive or
inclusive ones—and which lines of flight they indicate.<br>
