   Practices of radical health care -
   materials of the health movement of West-Berlin
   during the 1970s and 1980s
   Feminist Health Care Research Group
   (Julia Bonn, Alice Münch, Inga Zimprich)
   June 16th to July 29th 2018
   Kabinett at District Berlin


Practices of radical health care--materials of the health movement of West-Berlin during the 1970s and 1980s is an artistic research about the health movement of West-Berlin. At the intersection of feminist struggles with the squatting scene radical health institutions were founded and health collectives, self-help groups and new counselling services emerged, criticizing the prevailing patriarchal healthcare system. Since 2015 the Feminist Health Care Research Group (FHCRG) develops artistic perspectives on health care and Berlin's health movement in particular. It gathers documentation, meets with protagonists and visits initiatives aiming to regain feminist and self-empowering approaches to health care.

Feministische Gesundheitsrecherchegruppe (Inga Zimprich) participates in LUCKY, an exhibition at nGbK curated by Coven. The show reads luck as a cultural myth that normalizes privilege. FGRG will look at the many things we blame ourselves for not managing, amongst which is to get our professional stuff together and gaining access into KSK - Künstlersozialkasse.




   Small Self-help School
   Feminist Health Care Research Group
   (Julia Bonn, Alice Münch, Inga Zimprich)

   Arsenal City Gallery Poznan
   in Workshops of the Revolution, curated by Zofia nierodzinska
   May/June 2018

During the 1970s the health movement emerged in West-Berlin at the fringes of feminist struggles and the squatting scene. Various initiatives, projects and groups emerged which opposed the patriarchal medical gaze and worked towards medical, psychological and bodily self-determination. Alternative health institutions like Heilehaus (healing house), Weglaufhaus (runaway house), and Feminist Women's Health Center were founded, doctors' and pharmacists' collectives were established, some of which persevere to provide emancipatory and self-empowering health services today. In particular self-help groups, radical and feminist therapy and problem solving groups aimed to reclaim knowledge of one's own body and needs.
Far beyond today's paradigm of wellness and self-optimisation the health movement politicized medical self-determination as a site of collective social struggle and unfolded practices of mutual care.
During Workshops of the Revolution the Feminist Health Care Research Group establishes a Small Self-help School, which aims to retrieve practices and knowledge from the health movement. In conversation with activists from the health movement and contemporary activists working for reproductive rights we will test out, compare and actualize approaches of self help and mutual care.




Currently I develop a work dealing with FORT - Frauen organisieren Radikale Therapie for Multilogues on the Now: On Health, Work and Emotions, curated by Hana Janecková and Zuzana Jakalová, at Display, Prague, April - June 2018. I collaborate with Joris Bas Backer.

Since January 2016 we work as a local research group that meets on a regular bases.

We work by exploring methods and exercises within the group, and by visiting and learning from initiatives, groups and institutions, who have developed alternatives in health care. We publish our research in workshops and zines. From June on we meet at Heilehaus.

Inverse Institution

      I sometimes wonder why is it that institutional critique
      has been usually practiced by one artist towards one institution?
      Why didn't institutional critique become a group practice instead?


Since 2011 Inverse Institution - programmatic outline at Flutgraben e.V. Currently developed by and with Lydia Hamann, Janine Eisenächer, Sönke Hallmann, Jo Zahn, Inga Zimprich: Inverse Institution is an attempt to gradually subject all aspects of the contemporary art institutional to an inquiry into how we'd like to accommodate our desires, requirements, collective artistic practices institutionally. Relevant institutional aspects under consideration are the relation between artistic guests and hosting institution, internal working formats (like workshops, discussions, rehearsals and research) and the relation to an audience, the negotiation between visible and invisible labor (reward and wage) within the institution, the notion of audience vs an integral number of participants, forms of publicizing Inverse Institution (publishing impulse), the duration of collaborative commitments and the effect artistic work has on the inviting institution's course.
      Our co-workers include amongst others Sarah Harrison, Tijana Stevanovic, Radikal Pedagogik (Johanna Gustafsson & Lisa Nyberg), Michael Murtaugh, k2ao, Salong!, Wir Spielen, Isabell Gross, Isabella Schiele, Julia Entner, Liv Strand, Sezgin Boynik, Minna Hendriksson, Nebojsa Milikic and more.
      Hosted formats include Capitalism as we live it, Doing things together, Domestic Utopias drawing workshop, Kollektive Zusammenhänge verknüpfen, the revolution starts at home and several more.

What does it mean to gather within the language-based apparatus of the institution - within those places the institution provides, but which in turn reproduce the institutional itself? What can it mean to gain articulation in them, to have a voice within them? How could one open a space of speech inside the institutional realm in which one's own being-in-language becomes apparent and available?

RESIGNATION
November 3rd 2008
The Faculty of Invisibility was established in December 2006, as an Institution designed to transgress formats of social organization.
During its last production, The Invitation, the participating tutors realized that the Faculty of Invisibility is always already over.
On invitation of Transmission Gallery, Glasgow, these tutors decided to leave their post.
Responding to that tendency of decay, which always already works in each law and every institution,You Can Leave Your Post Now announces the resignation of the Faculty of Invisibility.
It makes use of quotations from Franz Kafka's The Blue Octavo Notebooks and Heiner Müller's stage adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's Fatzer Fragments.

Abschlussball
The failure of Manifesta 6 is concretely the rupture of a contract between the International Foundation Manifesta and Nicosia for the Arts Ltd. It appears to us that working on "our" contract can be a good way to synthesize the variety of our positions and interests in working together.
