Curator's Statement Rainer Ganahl's series "S/L", Seminar and Lecture Series consists of 30 photographs documenting the intelligentsia and the audience that attends their seminars. This series has been an ongoing project since '95, as the artist has attended multi-continental engagements at Universities, Museums and Cultural Institutions, photographing imminent figures such as Jacques Derrida, Coco Fusco, Julia Kristeva, Rem Koolhaas, Jenny Holzer, Robert Storr, Manthia Diawara, and their respective audiences. A plethora of reactions is the result, recording boredom and enthusiasm, notoriety, and anonymity -- simultaneously. Several of the photographs presented here were published in issue #15 of zingmagazine accompanied with a text by AS Bessa under the same title "S/L". Devon Dikeou |
