Rewinding Internationalism - Announcements - E-Flux

Press rewind and you go back to a part of a song or a scene in a film. Something happens in the act of rewinding though. The magnetic tape of a cassette or VHS gets scrambled. The section of the song, now replayed out of sequence, becomes abstracted. If you continuously rewind and replay – to borrow the title of susan pui san lok / lok pui san's new work in this exhibition – the recorded fragment takes on completely new meanings.  Within the context of an exhibition in dialogue with the 1990s, the term ‘rewinding’ is an invitation to revisit and rethink experiences and concepts once they have been ‘played’ out – to interpret them not as over, but as part of an ongoing present. 

‘Rewinding Internationalism’ is an exhibition-research project that engages with the construct of internationalism through multiple scenes. It includes five new commissions and a number of collaborative research projects, alongside loans and archival material from public and private collections. The departure point for the project is the 1990s – when internationalism was in a deep state of flux across both political and cultural contexts. Rather than represent a history of the decade, the exhibition brings different 'ecologies', as Félix Guattari would describe them, into relation with one another. Visual, archival and sonic associations allow evocations and implications to speak across the 1990s and today, defined as it is by deepening and ongoing ecological, bio and geopolitical crises - and when the idea of internationalism is again - is still - in flux. Finally, Rewinding Internationalism can be understood as an experiment in mobilising histories, knowledges and subjectivities through the form of exhibition making.

Rewinding Internationalism is organised in the framework of Our Many Europes, a four-year programme organised by the museum confederation L’Internationale and its partners, and co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
