Kunstenaarsboek. - Losbladig en genummerd: 56/60

Losbladige publicatie documenteert de afzonderlijke Arte Útil projecten in Brussel, St. Louis, Eindhoven (Van Abbemuseum), Liverpool, Santa Cruz, Barcelona, Londen, Middlesbrough en Biella. Het Museum of Arte Útil is een initiatief van de kunstenaar Tania Bruguera. Met dit project wil men het museum omvormen tot een 'sociale krachtcentrale'. Het hart van het project bestaat uit het Arte Útil archief dat een belangrijke ontwikkeling in de kunstpraktijk van de afgelopen decennia toont. Het levert de brandstof voor de sociale krachtcentrale. De projecten kunnen geactiveerd, geanalyseerd en besproken worden. - A limited-edition book documenting the series of workshops, city tours, activities, and conversations as part of the 3 years project Broadcasting the archive (2015-2018). The aim of the project was to re-activate and mediate the Arte Útil’s archive within and beyond the museum’s context using tools, archive cards, sound and video documents, interviews, etc which are part of the archive. Every activity, program or project, developed rhizomatically thanks to the contribution of users who added significant content to the project. Therefore, the publication is conceived not only as a documentation of the process but also as a tool, where readers will find more questions than answers. Every iteration of Broadcasting the archive has a dedicated chapter that functions independently from the others. It gathers the description of the activity, its participants, archive cards used during the workshops, images, essays and interviews. The whole series is kept together by an introduction which consists of a map where readers can see where the project travelled and add as well their locations, and an envelope to gather the toolkits developed during the programs.
