Julieta Aranda Bücher
Julieta Aranda ist eine konzeptuelle Künstlerin, die sich mit der Schaffung und Manipulation von künstlerischem Austausch beschäftigt und traditionelle Vorstellungen von Handel durch Kunst in Frage stellt. Ihre Praxis, die Installation, Video und Druckmedien umfasst, untersucht kritisch die Ökonomien, die Arbeit und die Wertsysteme, die in der zeitgenössischen Kunst verankert sind. Arandas Ansatz ist oft durch eine spielerische, aber prägnante Untergrabung etablierter Systeme gekennzeichnet, die die Betrachter dazu anregt, ihre eigene Rolle und die Zirkulation von Kunst zu überdenken. Ihre Erkundungen offenbaren eine tiefe Auseinandersetzung mit den kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Kräften, die künstlerische Produktion und Rezeption prägen.
The internet does not exist. Maybe it did exist only a short time ago, but now it only remains as a blur, a cloud, a friend, a deadline, a redirect, or a 404. If it ever existed, we couldn't see it. Because it has no shape. It has no face, just this name that describes everything and nothing at the same time. Yet we are still trying to climb onboard, to get inside, to be part of the network, to get in on the language game, to show up on searches, to appear to exist. But we will never get inside of something that isn't there. All this time we've been bemoaning the death of any critical outside position, we should have taken a good look at information networks. Just try to get in. You can't. Networks are all edges, as Bruno Latour points out. We thought there were windows but actually they're mirrors. And in the meantime we are being faced with more and more—not just information, but the world itself.ContributorsJulian Assange, Franco “Bifo” Berardi, Benjamin Bratton, Diedrich Diederichsen, Keller Easterling, Rasmus Fleischer, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, Ursula K.

Let's be clear about something: it is infuriating that most interesting artists are perfectly capable of functioning in at least two or three professions that are, unlike art, respected by society in terms of compensation and general usefulness. Furthermore, when the flexibility, certainty, and freedom promised by being part of a critical outside are considered as extensions of recent advances in economic exploitation, does the field of art then become the uncritical, complicit inside of something far more compelling? e-flux journal Series edited by Julieta Aranda, Brian Kuan Wood, Anton Vidokle Contributors Franco "Bifo" Berardi, Keti Chukhrov, Diedrich Diederichsen, Antke Engel, Liam Gillick, Tom Holert, Lars Bang Larsen, Marion von Osten, Precarious Workers Brigade, Irit Rogoff, and Hito Steyerl
