NTU Centre for Contemporary Art is a new institution positioning itself as a contemporary art research centre as well as active exhibition space. CCA has overlapping positions as a research centre, exhibition space and artist in residence/research fellowship programme. How do we physically realise these various functions? How do we build an institution and space which marries our different functions the forward thinking and ambition of what the CCA will become with the historical site it is based on Gillman Barracks? Looking at two practitioners Apolonija Šušteršič and Jesko Fezer whose work have used ideas of spatial and social transformation in their practice, this talk will look at the role of designing spaces that aim to contribute and challenge sites of knowledge production.

<span>15 Feb 2014, Sat 3:00pm - 5:00pm</span><br /><br />Taking Trinh T. Minh-ha’s reflections on the nature and process of storytelling as a starting point, the reading group addresses the (assumed) boundaries between truth and fact, story and history and how these boundaries are challenged by the works in <em>Paradise Lost</em>. The reading group juxtaposed Trinh T. Min-ha’s text <i>Grandma’s Story </i>with an excerpt from<i> Invisible Cities</i> by Italo Calvino that emphasizes the elusive nature of storytelling itself.<br /><br />A public programme of <em>Paradise Lost</em>.

<span>21 Feb 2014, Fri 7:30pm - 9:00pm</span><br /><br />This talk will contextualise Trinh T. Minh-ha’s installation <i>Surname Viet Given Name Nam </i>(1989) within the larger picture of her own work and film practice.<br /><br /><i>Surname Viet Given Name Nam </i>addresses notions of identity, popular memory and culture. While docusing on aspects of Vietnamese reality as seen through the lives and history of women's resistance in Vietnam and in the U.S., it raises questions on the politics of interviewing and documenting. A theoretically and formally complex work, <i>Surname Viet Given Name Nam</i> explores the difficulty of translation, and themes of dislocation and exile, critiquing both traditional society and life since the war. Jusxtaposing archival footage, proverbs, and poetry, voice-over narratives, and written text, the film festures interviews with five Vietnamese women. It becomes clear throughout the film that these interviews are restaged and the women portrayed are actually amatuer actresses living in the U.S. Taking a hybrid form, the film articulates the complex diversity of the lives and roles of Vietnamese women within culture, and confronts the essentialising Western paradigms. It challenges the traditions of documentary filmmaking through complex interconnections of sound and image, rejection of a single, omniscient voice and undermining of the authority of the camera itself.<br /><br />A public programme of <em>Paradise Lost</em>.

In 1994 Möller founded the label embodiment under which she designs art works as prototypes, that relate to interior design and clothing. In limited editions, Möller produces furniture, wallpaper, carpets, accessories and clothing, that operate as an interface between art and design on one side, and art and daily life on the other.
