Attending the Rehearsing Hospitalities programme
in September

Airi Triisberg is an independent writer, curator and educator based in Tallinn. She is interested in the overlapping fields between contemporary art practices and movement politics. Her interests include issues related to gender and sexualities, illness/health and dis/abilities, self-organisation and collective care practices, struggles against precarious working conditions in the art field and beyond. She often works at the intersection of cultural practice, knowledge production and self-organisation.

One of her ongoing interests is focused on struggles against precarious working conditions and art workers organising. In 2010-2012 she was active in the art workers movement in Tallinn. During her curatorial fellowship at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Leipzig, she initiated critical conversations about art economy with the event series I Can’t I Have to Work.

Another strand in her practice engages with issues of body and dis/ability, illness and health, affect and care. In the frame of this research interest she is organising exhibitions and events that reflect on historical and contemporary moments when the experience of illness and disability have been politicised in order to express social critique.

I am currently researching the Aesthetics of the Dark in contemporary art practice; the role of darkness, negativity and evil (intended more in its original etymology of exceeding limits). In such a context the gothic and its historical implications are of interest to me.

Gothic tends to recur in history, especially in moments of cultural transition, blurring boundaries between genres and disciplines and opening up to new versions of reality. I am now convinced that we are living in a gothic time again and I am curious to find out which art practices express a sensibility for similar considerations in relation to contemporary dynamics.
