Im Oktober 2016 liefert <em>O’
Mystical East and West</em> einen
Prolog zu dem Online-Rechercheprojekt
<em>D’EST. Eine multi-kuratorische
Online-Plattform für Videokunst aus
dem ehemaligen „Osten“ und „Westen“</em>,
initiiert von Ulrike Gerhardt und
produziert von Xandra Popescu im Namen
von Atelier 35, Rumänien. Ab 2017 wird
eine kuratierte Online-Plattform
entstehen, die die post-sozialistische
Transformation aus Sicht des
ehemaligen „Ostens“ und „Westens“
reflektiert. <br>
<br>
Kuratiert von Xandra Popescu
(Berlin/Bukarest) wird <em>O’
Mystical East and West</em> Arbeiten
zeitgenössischer Videokunst
präsentieren, die mythische und
phantasmatische Bilder des „imaginären
Westens“ und „Ostens“ mit besonderem
Fokus auf Geschlechtercodes, Klischees
und geopolitische Stereotypisierungen
hinterfragen.<br>
<br>
In ihrem Buch <em>Poor but Sexy.
Culture Clashes in Europe East and
West</em> (2014) beschwört die
polnische Autorin Agata Pyzik die
fatale Affäre zwischen dem „Osten” und
„Westen” Europas. Und wie in jeder
richtigen fatalen Affäre mangelt es
nicht an gegenseitigen Projektionen:
der „Westen” fabriziert eine mystische
und phantasmagorische, fast
orientalische Idee des „Ostens”,
während der „Osten” einen „imaginären
Westen” voller Eleganz und Reichtum
kreiert. Nach dem Mauerfall gab es
eine Zeit des intensiven Flirts, in
der die Länder des ehemaligen
„Ostblocks“ nach ihrem verlorenen
Platz in Europa suchten und der
„Westen” nach neuen Möglichkeiten der
Expansion Ausschau hielt. In ihrem
Eifer der Legitimierung neoliberaler
Werte wandte sich die Intelligenzija
des „Ostens” nach rechts, wohingegen
die Intelligenzija des „Westens” in
den neu entdeckten Ländern die Relikte
des authentischen – wenn auch
gescheiterten – Kommunismus
fetischisierte. <em>O’ Mystical East
and West</em> analysiert diese
komplizierte aber weiterhin aktuelle
Affäre durch eine Auswahl
Videoarbeiten von Künstlerinnen, die
in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren
aufgewachsen sind.</span> <span

<span style="font-size:14px">In October
2016, <em>O’ Mystical East and West </em>provides
a prologue to the online research
project <em>D’EST</em>: <em>A
Multi-Curatorial Online Platform for
Video Art from the Former “East” and
“West</em>,<em>” </em>initiated by
Ulrike Gerhardt and produced by Xandra
Popescu on behalf of Atelier 35,
Romania. Beginning in 2017, a curated
online platform that reflects the
post-socialist transformation from the
perspective of the former “East” and
“West” will be developed. <br>
<br>
Curated by Xandra Popescu
(Berlin/Bucharest), the first section
<em>O’ Mystical East and West</em>
will present contemporary works of
video art that critically interrogate
mythical and phantasmatic images of
the “imaginary West” and “East” with a
particular focus directed towards
gender codes, clichés, and
geopolitical stereotypes. <br>
<br>
In her book <em>Poor but Sexy:
Culture Clashes in Europe East and
West</em> (2014), Polish author
Agata Pyzik evokes the bad romance
between the “East” and “West” of
Europe. And like in any good bad
romance there is a great deal of
mutual projection where the “West”
creates a mystical and phantasmatic,
almost oriental idea of the “East,”
while the “East” still fabricates an
“imaginary West” full of elegance and
abundance. After the Fall of the Wall,
there was a period of intense
flirtation, where the countries of the
former Communist Bloc were looking to
find their lost place in Europe, and
the “West” was seeking new prospects
for expansion. The intelligentsia of
the “East” veered to the right in an
eagerness to legitimize the values of
neo-liberalism, while the
intelligentsia of the “West”
fetishized this new-found land looking
for the relics of authentic, albeit
failed, communism. <em>O’ Mystical
East and West</em> analyzes this
complicated but ongoing romance
through a selection of videos created
by female authors raised in the 1980s
and 1990s. <u><a
