“I Told You So” Conference in Amsterdam, Friday 16th March 2012. Part of WE ARE THE TIME week-conference festival
Friday March 16
I TOLD YOU SO
Curator Alfredo Cramerotti asks what the relationship between gossip and the history books is. Or between a general election and eternity.
In response Cathy Haynes explores the improbabilities of temporal cartography; Tai Shani presents ‘registers’ of representation and an over-identifying actress. Sally O’Reilly demonstrates the alien nature of historical speeches and Fay Nicolson digs up un-archived legacies of art education. The day ends with a final concert of the Chicago Boys While We Were Singing They Were Dreaming at the F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O. radio station (in the Rietveld Academie’s Glass Pavilion).
Life experience is always generated as the intersection between the personal rhythm of one’s life and the larger societal perspective. How do we position ourselves in time? How do we weave the historical moment into our life-narratives? From Tahrir Square to Occupy Wall Street – we are witnessing a worldwide desire for transition, but its direction is still open.This momentum belongs to the youngest generation of artists who will contribute to it with their work and shape it with the way they form fleeting communities. The network condition we live in, offers unprecedented possibilities to have simultaneous and multiple perspectives on events with social and historical significance. This implies a very different mode of historicizing, of writing down our memories. It is in this vortex of eventfulness we have to find ourselves again.

LaRadioSiamoNoi is a collaborative project with different tightly interconnected forums and laboratories forming a common platform, pointing out different aspects of the Italian free radios in the 1970s, their impact and aftermath. We want to rewind the evolution of the initiatives of that period, put them in relation to to each other and to parallel developments and also present actual projects referring explicitly to them.
