The two days Symposium “Women in Space” at the Art Institute HGK FHNW in Basel thematized the roles of scale, space and power in envisioning women in the art system: space is an issue for everyone, yet, it has specific resonance for those who make exhibitions and run institutions, and for women in general.

While there’s been an OOO buzz of late in the art world, we would like to take some time to look closely at specific suggestions made by some of the group’s most vocal advocates–Graham Harman and Levi R. Bryant–alongside some by Isabelle Stengers. We’re particularly eager to consider “object-orientedness” and/in contemporary art. We suggest two simple activities: reading and conversation. We have selected brief texts and the ICI has scanned and uploaded them to their server. These sessions are of an informal nature: while Manuela and I will give a general introduction to the text, the idea is to consider ...

This first monograph of Manuela Ribadeneira’s work departs from her collaboration with Artes no Decorativas S.A. in Ecuador in the 1990s and goes up to her current practice as artist, publisher, and organizer in London and Quito. It brings together new essays by Catalina Lozano, Florencia Portocarrero; a hypnotic induction by Marcos Lutyens; a personal reflection by Pablo Lafuente; an interview with Rodolfo Kronfle; and a translation of a text by Virginia Pérez-Ratton. As editor, Rivet (Sarah Demeuse and Manuela Moscoso) became an active interlocutor, which translates into their presence as commentator and guide to the reader. Manuela Ribadeneira’s own ...
