        *KLASSENSPRACHEN/CLASS LANGUAGES  at District*
        July 20, 21, 22

        Malzfabrik
        Bessemerstraße 2-14
        12103 Berlin


        “The sign is the arena of C.”

        “As a ‘struggle of form,‘ C. is not only concerned with
        political forms […].
        The struggles of form are struggles for meaning; they imbue
        culture and language with active resistance.”

        In dictionary entries, their initials represent terms after
        their first mention.
        Class, class struggle, class contradiction, as well as crisis,
        catastrophe, and colonialism turn into C. Our C. stands for
        Class Languages.
        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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

        KLASSENSPRACHEN at District is supported by
        Hauptstadtkulturfonds Berlin.
