Töötuba/Workshop: Marta Keil, Satu Herrala
“How about dreaming a loving relationship between artists and institutions?”
(eng below)
Kas on võimalik, et mitte ainult kunstitöötajad, vaid ka kunstiasutused võivad sügavalt väsinud olla? Püüdkem ette kujutada, et kunstnikud ja institutsioonid on liitlased, muutes töötingimusi toetavamateks ja õiglasemateks. Mida selline partnerlus tähendaks? Mis peaks juhtuma, et see suhe oleks armastav? Kuidas saaks hoolitsemisest igapäevane praktika?
Kutsume kunstitöötajaid, kunstnikke, vabakutselisi ja institutsioonide töötajaid liituma meiega neljatunniseks töötoaks. Töötoas arutleme, loeme, kirjutame ning kehastame neid küsimusi, püüdes ühiselt ette kujutada kunstnike ja institutsioonide vahelisi suhteid ja konstellatsioone. Alustades tunnistamisest, et kurnatus on kunstivaldkonna status quo, soovime tutvuda meie jagatud tingimustega, nägemaks, kuidas need potentsiaalselt muutuda võiksid.

Satu Herrala (Helsingi) on tantsu ja koreograafia taustaga kuraator ja teadur. Talle pakub huvi, kuidas kehade koosolemine mõjutab olemise, teadmise ja käitumise viise, ning kuidas kehastamisest sünnib kollektiivne tegevus.
Praegu teeb ta doktoriuurimust kehastatud kureerimise (embodied curating) teemal Aalto Ülikooli Kunsti-, Disaini- ja Arhitektuuri koolis. Koos Anna Karhu-Cormieri ja Maija Mustoneniga asutas ja kureeris ta 2024. aastal Frantsila ravimtaimefarmis Love Harvest Festivali. Aastatel 2020–2024 oli ta koos Tamara Cubase, Jussi Lehtoneni ja Julia Asperskaga kaasjuhiks Soome-Uruguai kunstiuuringu algatusel "Forest as a Geopolitical Stage".
Ta kuulub etendajana Pauliina Feodoroffi lavastuse Matriarchy töörühma, mis esietendus 2022. aastal 59. Veneetsia biennaalil Sámi paviljonis. Koos Hans Rosenströmiga kureeris ta kaasaegse kunsti programmi A I S T I T / coming to our senses, mis koosnes näitustest, etendustest, arutlussündmustest ja avalikust kunstist ning mille produtseerisid neli Soome Kultuuriinstitutsiooni 2021. aastal. Aastatel 2015–2019 töötas ta Baltic Circle’i rahvusvahelise teatrifestivali kunstilise juhi ja kuraatorina Helsingis. Ta on regulaarne külalislektor ja mentor Helsingi Kunstiülikoolis.
Marta Keil (Utrecht) on dramaturg, kuraator ja teadur. Tema kureerimis- ja uurimistöö keskendub etenduskunstide valdkonna institutsionaalsete praktikate uuesti tähenduslikuks muutmisele.
Aastal 2023 alustas ta BAKi stipendiaadina Utrechtis uurimust „võõrandumise dramaturgiate” teemal, mida jätkab Antverpeni AP Kunstikoolis. Marta töötab juhendajana DAS Theatre’is, Amsterdami Teatri- ja Tantsuakadeemias ning teeb vabakutselisena koostööd erinevate Euroopa asutuste ja kunstnikega, nagu näiteks koos Ira Brandi, Ainhoa Hernández Escudero, Samara Herschi, Milla Koistineni, Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué ja Jagoda Szelciga.
Hiljuti kureeris ta kunstiuuringu projekti Breaking the Spell, mida kaasprodutseerisid Residenz Schauspiel Leipzig, München Kammerspiele, Performing Arts Institute Varssavis ja Viernulvier Gentis. Ta tegi koostööd ka Läti Uue Teatri Instituudiga Riias ning Rosendal Teatriga Trondheimis The Shake Down projektis, kus noored kureerisid kahte rahvusvaheliselt tuntud festivali. Marta on toimetanud mitmeid raamatuid kureerimisest, koreograafiast ja etenduskunstidest ning omab kultuuriuuringute doktorikraadi. Ta on Varssavi Performing Arts Institute kollektiivi liige.

Is it possible that it’s not only art workers, but also art institutions, that get deeply exhausted? Allow us to imagine artists and institutions becoming allies in transforming the working conditions into more nourishing and just. What could that allyship entail? What would need to happen for this relationship to be a loving one? How can nurturing it become a daily practice?
We invite art workers, artists, freelancers, and employees of art institutions to join us for a 4-hour workshop of discussing, reading, writing and embodying these questions in an attempt to reimagine together the relations and constellations between artists and institutions. Beginning from the acknowledgement of a depletion as the status quo of the arts field we aim to encounter our shared conditions and see what could be their transformative potential.

Satu Herrala (Helsinki) is a curator and researcher with a background in dance and choreography. She is interested in exploring how attuning to bodily coexistence informs ways of being, knowing and acting, and how collective action emerges from embodiment.

Together with Anna Karhu-Cormier and Maija Mustonen, she founded and co-curated Love Harvest Festival at Frantsila Herb Farm in 2024.

Marta Keil (Utrecht) is dramaturge, curator and researcher. Her curatorial and research practice focuses on re-enchanting the ways of instituting in the performing arts. As a fellow of BAK in Utrecht she started in 2023 her research on dramaturgies of withdrawal in performing arts, which she continues at AP School of Arts in Antwerp.
Marta works as tutor at DAS Theatre, Academy for Theatre and Dance, Amsterdam University of the Arts, and collaborates as freelance dramaturg, curator, teacher and advisor with various European institutions and artists, e.g. Ira Brand, Ainhoa Hernández Escudero, Samara Hersch, Milla Koistinen, Lina Majdalanie, Rabih Mroué, Jagoda Szelc. Recently, she curated an artistic research project Breaking the Spell, co-produced by Residenz Schauspiel Leipzig, München Kammerspiele, Performing Arts Institute in Warsaw and Viernulvier in Ghent and collaborated with the New Theatre Institute of Latvia in Riga and Rosendal Teater in Trondheim for The Shake Down project, involving teenagers to curate two internationally renowned festivals.
