correct me if i´m critical

correct me if i'm critical is an exhibition program that aims to question how critical knowledge is approached, produced, and positioned by artistic practices today. Referring to the Scandinavian and German traditions of political correctness, correct me if i'm critical takes its institutional framework and support structures (Swedish Embassy, Berlin and other venues included into the program) as a contextual base, and investigates the possibilities of contemporarizing Hannah Arendth's terms "agent" and "action".

By distinguishing action (praxis) from fabrication (poiesis), linking it to freedom and plurality, and showing its connection to speech and remembrance, correct me if i'm critical takes a critical position, and proposes to experience being an agent of her/his/your existence, as one who simultaneously has the ability to make choices and impose those choices onto the world. It develops an eclectic approach by experimenting at the different levels of interaction between blogging and curating, media and content as well as personal and public. As an alternative form of exhibition, it is composed of an 'exhibition ground', solo presentations, event based discussions, performances, screenings, and Summer Studio / August 2010, a discussion and production unit.
