Model Narratives

Lecture, 30 May 2023, 19:30

The models of scientists – to be found in their diagrams, equations, maps, and even machines – can be understood as their representations of phenomena in the world. But when we look back into how scientists created those models, we often find processes of narrative-making: scientists, in seeking to understand their part of the world, create narratives about how it might work.

Translation, Mediation,
Power

Symposium, 12 Jun 2023, 15:00 - 21:00

Translation can be understood in different ways: as a practice, a concept, a technique, a method, a site of contestation. This symposium is especially interested in the unsettling potential of translation as a form of mediation that can either re-enact or challenge structures of power.

With Dilek Dizdar, Iracema Dulley, Özgün Eylül İşcen, Jamille Pinheiro Dias, Evren Savci, Niloufar Tajeri, and Ayşe Yuva

Bichos

Bichos

Animal Fantasies between Art and Madness

Symposium, 14-15 Jun 2023, 14:00 - 21:00

From the late 1960s onwards, Brazilian artist Lygia Clark (1920–1988) developed a series of unstable and manipulable sculptures that she named bichos — ‘beast’, ‘animal’, or ‘critter’. These unconventional objects constituted a turning point in Clark’s artistic trajectory as she progressively moved away from the Neo-Concrete Movement, shifting her focus towards the frontier between artistic and clinical practice.

Organized by Delfina Cabrera, Marlon Miguel, Elena Vogman

An ICI Berlin Event in cooperation with the research project ‘Madness, Media, Milieus. Reconfiguring the Humanities in Postwar Europe’ (Volkswagen Stiftung/Bauhaus-Universität Weimar)

Falatório

Stella do Patrocínio´s Chatter

Staged Reading & Artist Talk, 15 Jun 2023, 19:00

Stella do Patrocínio (1941-1992) was hospitalized in 1962 in the psychiatric hospital Colônia Juliano Moreira in Rio de Janeiro at the age of 21. In the asylum, where she remained until her death, she developed her unclassifiable falatório, a performative, poetic, violent, critical, and prophetic chatter, centering around bichos as one of the main and disruptive figures.

With Yvonne Sembene (performer) and Carla Guagliardi (artist)

Rendering Intelligence: Biomedical Datasets and the Impossible Image

Online Lecture, 19 Jun 2023, 19:30

The impossible image describes the botanical illustrations crucial to building the British Empire, and the ways botanical drawings emerged as a moral model. Wang will draw the connections between the impossible image of botanical illustrations and the traces of the impossible image in current understandings of generative AI.

Notes on the Schizoid Condition
David Kishik

ICI Berlin Press, 2023

Open Access

Former Fellow David Kishik just published his genre-bending work of autophilosophy. It opens a rare, rear window into the schizoid position of self-sufficient withdrawal and impassive indifference. This inability to be enriched by outer experiences feeds the relentless suspicion that hell is other people. Laying bare his life and work, Kishik engages with psychoanalysis, philosophy, and cultural inquiry to trace loneliness across the history of thought, leading to today’s shut-in society and the autonomous subject of liberal capitalism.
