Curated by David Ayala-Alfonso
On a desk of the private study collection of the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, an old stuffed parrot guards a vast ornithology drove. An excited young scientist reads a story on the origins of the desiccated animal for the purpose of entertaining a group of visitors: it may accept been the last "speaker" of a dead Indigenous language from colonial Venezuela, or a German prince'south precious gift to the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. There is no clear agreement which of these versions, if any, might be true.
Never Spoken Over again: Rogue Stories of Science and Collections is a traveling exhibition that reflects on the nascence of modernistic collections, the art institutions that sustain them and their contingent origin stories. Curated by Colombian curator David Ayala-Alfonso, an alumnus of ICI's Curatorial Intensive, the exhibition is part of ICI'due south new serial of programs, pioneered with the support of the Hartfield Foundation, aimed at championing emergent curatorial voices past providing opportunities to alumni of ICI'due south Curatorial Intensive. The exhibition was selected from among 66 proposals submitted past Curatorial Intensive alumni from over xxx countries.
Considering how institutional collections organize our lives, Never Spoken Again brings together artists whose works open up a critique of material civilization, iconography, and political ecologies. These practices examine not only the nerveless objects and the systems of distribution that facilitate their apportionment but also the disciplines and subjects of report that they trade in.
Variously, the works shed light on myths, simulations, fake currencies, state of war games, and the slow violence of systematic racism that historically underpin collecting practices. Together they open the field for considering our agency in how our histories and futures may be constituted otherwise.
