The first non-Polish artist to represent Poland at the 54<sup>th<\/sup> Venice Biennale in 2011, Bartana\u2019s fictive Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jrmip.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">JRMiP<\/a>) calls for the return of 3,300,000 Jews to the land of their forefathers. Or that\u2019s the cover story, at least.<\/p>\n<p>The trilogy, outlining the movement\u2019s emergence, its first Jewish settlements in Poland, and the inevitable assassination of its leader, is an unsparing \u2013 albeit hilarious \u2013 glance at Israeli society, and the promise, as against the current reality, that arose from the Zionist movement. It\u2019s also about the way Europe deals with immigration today, Bartana says. \u201cAnd of course, the aesthetic language of propaganda and political manipulation. I made sure there was something in it to anger everybody\u201d she adds, laughing. The power of the trilogy lies in the variety of readings it offers according to the viewer\u2019s personal history and background. \u201cIn Russia, people were enraged by the use of Stalinist aesthetics; in Poland, they were struck by the story of the leader\u2019s martyrdom, is an idea deeply rooted in Polish cultural heritage. In Israel, where I\u2019m from, people accused me of lots of ugly things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film project came about after Bartana visited Poland in 2006. \u201cI was overwhelmed by the void. You walk around and hear, \u2018This used to be the Jewish quarter\u2019 quite a lot. So I started to imagine what it would be like. The ability to envision a different reality starts with the power to imagine, and with leaving fear of change behind.\u201d The trilogy\u2019s message is deeply ambivalent; confusion seems to be the point.<\/p>\n<p>In the congress, held in conjunction with the Seventh Berlin Biennale, Bartana seeks to gather thinkers, activists, historians and anyone interested in challenging notions of national identity. \u201cSo the assassinated leader wrote a document where he describes his vision for Israel, Poland and Europe. The congress has a fictive narrative as its starting point, but I want to cross that threshold from fiction to reality. It\u2019s megalomaniac and na\u00efve at the same time,\u201d she admits, \u201cbut I\u2019m not interested in mere provocation. That\u2019s boring. I\u2019m looking for the point where art can actually effect change.\u201d HP<\/p>\n<p><em>The First Congress of the JRMiP will take place in Berlin, at HAU 1, May 11\u201313 2012. <\/em><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jrmip.org\/\">www.jrmip.org<\/a>.<\/em><em><br \/>7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, <br \/>April 27\u2013July 1 2012. <br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.berlinbiennale.de\" target=\"_blank\">www.berlinbiennale.de<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While travelling the art institutions of the world with her film trilogy \u201c\u2026and Europe will be stunned\u201d, Yael Bartana is also hard at work preparing the inaugural JRMiP Congress and spending time with her wife and baby in Berlin.
