Caring Infrastructures

Author: Sascia Bailer

Care has become a trend in the art field, but much of the recent curatorial focus seems to be limited to symbolic and representational gestures through exhibitions and public programming. These efforts, however, have led to few (infra)structural changes. The need remains to bring about fair working conditions, gender equity, and support structures for caregivers and care-receivers. In response, Sascia Bailer redefines “curatorial care” as an infrastructural practice grounded in feminist care ethics that provides “care for presence” for diverse practitioners and audiences. Drawing from socially engaged curatorial and artistic practices, the book offers hands-on propositions for constructing caring infrastructures and provides a micro-political roadmap for curating with care.

Curating, Care, and Corona

Author: Sascia Bailer

The kuratieren-booklet #6 Curating, Care, and Corona by Sascia Bailer is many things: a critical questioning, a doubting, a reflecting, sometimes also a plea. But above all it should also enable insight into the 2019/20 curatorial programme on Care at M.1, and invite readers to continue with their own related lines of thought. The text unites five fragments that engage with artistic works and curatorial formats from Sascia Bailer ́s programme, each in the context of societal discourses surrounding care, curating, digitality, alternative economies and the necessity of new social infrastructures.

RE-ASSEMBLING MOTHERHOOD(S)

Co-Editors: Sascia Bailer, Magdalena Kallenberger, Maicyra Leao Teles e Silva

Re-Assembling Motherhood(s) invites the reader to learn about and from Maternal Fantasies ́ feminist research and collective artistic practice on motherhood(s), care work and representation in the arts.
Composed of seven interdisciplinary artists / mothers and ten children, Maternal Fantasies takes the social invisibility of the maternal experience as a point of departure to produce films, images, and performances of fantastical visibility. Through personal writing exercises and collective performance scores, they align themselves with ancestral figures of feminist discourses and artmaking, in order to establish new vocabularies and narratives around the maternal for future generations. As both a handbook and an archive of feminist artmaking, this publication (re-)assembles maternal experiences, reflective essays, autobiographical writing, instructional scores, selected artworks, and a manifesto for a caring economy.

Letters to Joan

Co-Editors: Sascia Bailer, Gilly Karjevsky, and Rosario Talevi

Eight open and public letters addressed to Joan Tronto share thoughts on the current state of care from the experiences of different writers during this global pandemic. We imagine these letters and their responses to make up a landscape of care – a relational map you can read from your own personal position, as we begin our long march to a world imbued with care as norm, as a democratic order. With this emerging map of care you can see how far the concept stretches — and how essential it is as an alternative paradigm. More here

CURATING WITH CARE

Editors: Elke Krasny & Lara Perry

This book presents over 20 authors’ reflections on ‘curating care’ – and presents a call to give curatorial attention to the primacy of care for all life and for more ‘caring curating’ that responds to the social, ecological and political analysis of curatorial caregiving.

I contributed with the chapter: Sascia Bailer: Care for Caregivers: Curating against the Care Crisis
