Exterritory is a project initiated by artists, curators, and scholars who wish to rethink geo-political conventions in a non-national space. Taking to the sea on board three vessels the first Exterritory event will take place in the Mediterranean Sea from June 17-21, 2010. The project is a constantly dynamic journey, a platform in transit, exploring various non-nationalized spaces in order to generate a network of intellectual and professional connections that surpasses national politics and social
hierarchies.
Leaving from the shores of Israel and stopping in Cyprus, the two-dozen participants on board three boats will present curated programs that examine the notion of exterritory in various mediums such as performance, installation, video, and sound.
Some of the works will be site-specific and utilize marine equipment (broadcasts over marine radio), boat parts (such as video projection on sails), boat choreography, floater-view-art, and messages in bottles. On-board discussions and panels will be streamed online.
Initiated in 2009 by artists/curators Ruti Sela and Maayan Amir as a response to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian political conflict, Exterriroty wishes to bring together artists and thinkers from conflict areas, who can hold reconcilliation meetings usually under
the auspices of third countries, mainly in Europe and the USA. The project aims to create a different location both mentally and geographically: a floating platform for inter-cultural exchange outside the sovereign territory of any specific country.
Historically, the distance separating territory from exterritory is the length of a cannon shot. Symbolically, if weapons define territory, exterritory commences where the power of weapons has no domain. Exterritory is the space between nations, as well as between cultures, between the subject and a sum of enacted ideological interpolations.
