Janine Armin – författare

Unlearning Routines of the Impossible responds to this question through revisiting the artistic research projects Sites for Unlearning, (co-)initiated by Annette Krauss. The sites are experimental gatherings where the aim is to collaboratively unlearn dominant forms of thinking and doing, and the affective production of impossibilities within institutions to intervene in social injustices. The artistic projects are accompanied, framed, and challenged by invited essays, collective conversations, and scenes on what unlearning might do and be. Together they form a support structure - a scaffolding for living - for practicing unlearning. Includes contributions and materials from Yolande Zola Zoli van der Heide, Ferdiansyah Thajib, Nancy Jouwe, Annette Krauss, KUNCI Collective & Study Forum, and the Feminist Search Tools working group.

A richly illustrated exploration of Sung Hwan Kim’s complex record of migrant stories, displacement and belonging, border-crossings and translation.In A Record of Drifting Across the Sea (2017–), Sung Hwan Kim turns to past histories of migration. The artist parses the traces—archival and bodily—left by undocumented Korean migrants who came to the US by way of Hawai’i at the turn of the last century, and ponders over their impact on other migrant and indigenous communities. As an ongoing film and installation series, comprising two chapters and a third in progress, A Record unsettles the limits of the "one work" with its distributive, open-ended and collaborative nature.   In this speculative inquiry, Janine Armin explores each chapter in Kim’s multilayered work as a mycelial network of feelers entangling and extending the wider work in process. Engaging history through the senses, folklore and myth, as much as through archival material, Kim navigates and crosses the boundaries between displacement and belonging. Focusing on the artist’s attempt to escape from representation, Armin illuminates and attends to the different stories and non-sovereign ways of being together towards which his work points us.  This title is part of the One Work book series, which focuses on artworks that have significantly changed the way we understand art and its history.
