Proposals for the Berggruen Institute By Peter Liversidge · 2022 - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Amidst a global pandemic, the Berggruen Institute invited artist Peter Liversidge—whose diverse oeuvre has a singular starting point of typewritten proposals—to reflect on the Berggruen Institute’s first decade and its role in the future. The project originated during a visit to Liversidge’s East London studio following the Institute’s delivery of its Renewing Democracy in the Digital Age report at King’s College in March of 2020, prior to lockdown. Inspired by Liversidge’s dynamic Proposals for Antarctica; Tate Modern and Tate Liverpool; and the Government Art Collection, Liversidge conducted more than 20 interviews with Berggruen Institute leadership, staff, fellows, and collaborators throughout 2020 and 2021—uniquely exploring the Institute’s history, core ideas, and plans for future work during the turbulence and polarity of the pandemic. At the core of Liversidge’s Proposals for the Berggruen Institute are ideas: poetic and philosophical in the sense that they often investigate the passing of time and memory as it relates to the Institute’s diverse body of work; imaginative in their consideration of the future; sometimes playful and humorous and other times quiet and reflective; but always with the idea that they will be realised, either through individual reflection or collectively in an exhibition, installation, or performance.
