During the residency, Anthony Huberman will connect with local artists and institutions in Singapore. He will deliver a lecture that addresses concepts of tools, devices, and machines in relation to the exhibition MECHANISMS, he recently curated at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, United States. Furthering his connection with the region, Huberman will also travel to the Philippines to participate in the <i>Public Lecture Series 2018</i> at the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MCAD), Manila.

Pitted against criteria of efficiency and fast-paced consumption that inform most of contemporary art production, the curatorial practice of <b>Anthony Huberman</b> revolves around the idea of slowing down. In this lecture, Huberman will talk about tools—machines or devices—but also about the abstract system of standards and protocols that structure much of today’s economic and political administration and management. Tools are part of our technological present. They have become infrastructural: objects one cannot simply choose to stop using, shut down, or turn off. In this context, what can art do? What kind of a tool can it be? How can an artwork or an art institution contest or complicate a world that only seems to reward efficiency or productivity? Starting off with a single artwork, which introduces a single exhibition, Huberman will proceed to consider some institutional approaches that favour small scales, slowing down and, perhaps, even inefficiency.

<span>In this series, the Centre looks back at the Residencies Programme’s archives of talks, conversations, and performances to periodically highlight select events that take on particular resonance with the present times.<br /><br />In </span><a href="https://theintercept.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-capitalism/"><em>Corona Virus Capitalism – And How to Beat it</em></a><span>, Canadian scholar and activist Naomi Klein invokes Milton Friedman’s insight into the connection between crises and change to expand our sense of the possible. In the economist’s words: “Only a crisis—actual or perceived—produces real change. When that crisis occurs, the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around.” If crises can be magnets for radical change, which ideas should be rehashed as we build our future? </span><em>Ideas that are lying around </em><span><span>reminds us that proposals to operate differently are already there. In these three talks, previous Curators-in-Residence Maria Hlavajova, Anthony Huberman, and Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez distinctly question conventional parameters of exhibition-making and advance propositions for news modes of existence for art institutions. <br /><br /></span></span>
<p><strong>The Making of an Institution – <em>Reason to Exist: The Director’s Review. Instituting Otherwise,</em> talk by Maria Hlavajova (Slovakia/Netherlands), Curator-in-Residence</strong><br />22 March 2017</p>
