SHAME

		OPEN CALL FOR ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM 2014/2015

	In 2014/2015, Center for Contemporary
Arts (Celje), Miroslav Kraljevic Gallery (Zagreb)
and the feminist curatorial group Red Min(e)d
(Sarajevo/Ljubljana/Munich/Belgrade) are
initiating a collaborative research project
focused on the topic of Shame.

		The aim of the project is to
question the modes through which the affect of
shame becomes activated or produced. Shame
operates on the relation between the self and the
other, between the emotional and social.
Experiencing shame is internalized. It belongs to
the body and it affects the body by an emotional
intensity that causes disorientation in the
subject's perception of his/hers own identity.
Through shaming feelings of guilt, embarrassment
and unworthiness arise within the subject, making
him/her experience these emotions as if
he's/she's done something wrong or bad in front
of others. For example, nudity provokes shame,
not because of the nudity per se, but because of
an inability to escape, to hide, symbolizing the
inevitable presence of the self. Likewise,
humiliation as a result of the violent intrusion
of social rules set by the controlling mechanism
of a hegemonic and patriarchal power relation
causes shame through suppression, inferiority or
constitutional inadequacy. Therefore, to be
ashamed can be understood as being left with
something for which we can't take responsibility
or with something that we want to cover (to hide)
or with something that we should resist. This
process enables the construction of a shamed
identity that can be applied on the individual or
on a particular population. If experiencing shame
is an internalized modality, the anthropological
formula that produces the social, cultural or
material process of shaming is located outside
the body, belonging to the other. The normative
structure of a particular society constructs
normative behavior. Any discrepancy from the
prescribed norms initiates the process of shaming
through which a certain type of behavior becomes
marginalized.

		By investigating artistic,
cultural, social, political, anthropological and
historical processes we will try to find the
means that constitute shame in a particular
culture and ask to which structural processes of
identification the affect of shame is being
attached. Is it attached to the conditions of the
body and therefore applied to a particular mode
of sexual behavior, gender or age? Or is it a
matter of class, religion, race, culture or
nationality?

		Unpacking these questions will
help to reveal the hidden motives and drives that
initiate the process of shaming. Could shaming be
understood as a tool that enables the power to
marginalize and oppress certain members of the
society? Or perhaps as a mode for practicing and
sustaining control over the body? Can shame
convey potency and articulate resistance? Which
type of shame is being allowed and encouraged
within today's society that re/produces
capitalist and patriarchal power relations?

The project aims to investigate the topic by
initiating a discursive platform that will bring
together different disciplines and modes of
thought reflecting upon the notion of shame.

For this purpose the Center for Contemporary Arts
Celje, Miroslav Kraljevic Gallery Zagreb and the
feminist curatorial group Red Min(e)d
(Sarajevo/Ljubljana/Munich/Belgrade) are
publishing an open call for collaboration in the
residential programme 2014/2015.

The open call invites artists, who within their
own artistic practice research the proposed
topic, for a residency (length of the residency
varies from three weeks to two months) focused on
in-depth research as a contribution to the
project.
