Mute Vol 2 #14 Editorial content | Vol II

Whether seen as the ultimate capitalists, Buddhists or communards, bees elicit fantasies and fears of social productivity and crisis by turns. This issue is not really about bees of course, but the ‘colony collapse disorder' which is currently threatening the global bee population works as a stark metaphor for the crisis of reproduction that is currently afflicting human society as it is currently configured.

In this issue of Mute we revisit the question of ‘the human’ in the age of biopolitics. What do philosophers, activists and ‘pro-revolutionaries’ have to say about homo sapiens in a world where monstrous claims on value demand populations be reduced to ‘bare (hardworking) life’?

THE ASSAULT ON CULTURE: A Mute Magazine talk on privatisation and critical artistic practice

Does private-public funding and management of culture mark the death of institutional and critical autonomy? And is direct censorship an anomaly, the most visible form of a wider constriction of cultural freedom, or the shape of cultural policy to come?

Mute has invited a range of practitioners along to discuss the perils and opportunities for critical cultural activity in neoliberalising institutions:


Online Art Commissions, 2005/6 Commissions & Prizes

As part of Metamute's relaunch, we have started a project of online art commissions funded by Arts Council London, the first of which is Out-of-Sync's The Fourth Floor. Over the next year, curators Timothy Murray and Diana McCarty will introduce and contextualise a further three more, so keep an eye out. It is our hope that these works and the contextualistions provided will form a useful starting point for further discussion...

Mateo López will introduce his exhibition at Gaworks, discussing the development of his practice during the residency at Gasworks.

Mateo López creates studio-like situations in which the production and display of the work overlap. His source material includes drawings, notes and photographs which are often taken in his journeys. In many of his installations, López combines real objects with drawings, expanding the latter into three-dimensional forms to unfold narratives constructed by fragments and associations.

David Bestué and Günes Terkol open their studios to the public to show and discuss the development of their work during their stay in London.

David Bestué uses different media to manipulate ideas drawn from philosophy, art history, architecture and film. By making small changes to public and domestic scenarios, his works create absurd situations that question the conventions of human behaviour. David Bestué was born in Barcelona, Spain where he lives and works.

Recomposing the University -
By Tiziana Terranova & Marc Bousquet
July 2004

Far removed from the clichéd image of the ‘ivory tower’, today’s universities have been opened to the harsh realities of neoliberal economics. In the name of democratisation and equality, the university has become a cross between a supermarket and a factory whose consumers are also its hyper-exploited labour force. But the conditions of mass intellectuality also create new potentials and alliances
