Abstract or Description
TRANSFICTIONING
[Trans] as related to the concept of across or beyond. A testing of preassumed boundaries.
[Fictioning] referring to the ways in which reimagining our relationship to reality occurs.
[Transfictioning] a hyper-fiction that relates to simulacra, in which there is no original. Most commonly applied here to the notion of The Archive. Motion across The Archive towards citing new locations and locating our relationship(s) to objects.
'Transfictioning' explores both the above approach and revisits the exhibition Concrete Plastic that was staged as an exhibition and publication of the same name in Los Angeles (2014). This chapter includes contributions from two artists in the 2014 project, Michael Bizon and Annabel Frearson.
Concrete Plastic is a curatorial research project that commissions artists to translate (Walter Benjamin) archival objects and methodologies and is co-authored by Cooke and Ann Harezlak.

ARCHIVES ON SHOW – REVOICING, SHAPESHIFTING, DISPLACING – A CURATORIAL GLOSSARY edited by Beatrice von Bismarck Archives on Show brings the potential of reformulating the social and political relevance of archives by curatorial means into focus. Based on the specific properties, faculties and methods of curation, the volume highlights those techniques and strategies that deal with archives not only to make their genesis and history apparent but also to open them up for the future. The 22 different ways of dealing with archives testify to the curatorial participation in (re)shaping the archival logic, structures and conditions. As process-oriented, collective and relational modes of producing meaning, these curatorial practices allow for the alteration, reconfiguration and mobilization of the laws, norms and narratives that the archive preserves as preconditions of its power. The contributions to this volume by artists, curators and theorists demonstrate approaches that curatorially insist on building other relations between human and non-human archival participants. Each is using the book to create a curatorial constellation that generates and forms new connections between different times and spaces, narratives, disciplines and discourses. Configured as a glossary, the positions assembled in this volume exemplify curatorial methods with which to treat the archive as site and tool of collective, ongoing negotiations over its potential societal role and function.
