In their artist talk,
SKGAL will explore their working methods and discuss the possibilities and limits of artistic strategies in dealing with archives:
How can historically situated materials be used to narrate other possible contexts? How can experiences of the archive that
evade visual depiction become tangible? How can we work (together) with ghosts? How can extractivist processes be subverted
in archives – or in artistic works?
By engaging with particular archives, SKGAL explores these questions in search
of a caring approach to archives and towards the traces of resistant moments. Through speaking, filming, translating, cropping,
rearranging, and tearing (off), historical, political, and affective contexts are processed and translated into installations,
videos, and prints.
