In "Últimas Palabras" (Laatste Woorden) repeteren een acteur en een speech trainer een tekst op basis van het slotpleidooi van Alfredo Astiz tijdens zijn proces. Deze ex-commandant van de marine tijdens de laatste militaire dictatuur in Argentinië zit momenteel een levenslange gevangenisstraf uit voor misdaden tegen de menselijkheid.
Astiz, ook wel bekend als de "Blonde Engel des Doods", was berucht om zijn vermogen om als een kameleon van karakter te wisselen. Zo deed hij zich voor als slachtoffer van de repressie, om als spion binnen mensenrechtenorganisaties te infiltreren.
De herlezing van zijn laatste woorden is een onderzoek naar het verband tussen de kunst van de redevoering en dat wat Hannah Arendt 'de banaliteit van het kwaad' heeft genoemd.

Iratxe Jaio en Klaas van Gorkum zijn door het Mondriaan Fonds geselecteerd om deel te nemen aan een residency bij Lipac, Laboratory of Investigation into Contemporary Art Practice, in Buenos Aires, Argentinië.
Op zaterdag 18 mei 2013 zullen zij hun research project "Teken wat lijnen in het zand en noem het een instituut" introduceren, in Centro Cultural Rector Rojas. De kunstenaars zullen spreken over de verschillende stadia van institutionalisering in een zelf georganiseerd collectief, en de uitdagingen die daarbij komen kijken. Ook zullen zij spreken over de theatrale aspecten van rechtspraak. Hierbij zullen ze hun ervaringen in Occupy Amsterdam evalueren, waar zij "De Beursplein Hoorzittingen" initieerden, a formele struktuur binnen het kamp dat getuigenissen van haar leden verzamelden over de ethische dilemmas die ze tegenkwamen bij het behandelen van sociale problemen en bij het handhaven van de orde op het plein.

On the 8th of December, Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum will talk in L’occasione about their experiences in Occupy Amsterdam, where they initiated a kind of "Truth Commission" in the camp. Through a series of hearings, fellow Occupiers were questioned one by one about the ethical dilemmas they encountered while maintaining order on the square, in relation to the shared ideal of a radical, participatory democracy. Their experiences in the camp will serve, on the one hand, as a starting point for a critical reflection on the group dynamics that lead a community towards and astray from consensus and principles of equality. On the other, as a case study for the role that artists may play in these processes, using the methodology of the cross-examination and the trial as artistic instruments.

Through the scenes in four films, Miren Jaio reflects on the family and the space it adopts as its own, the home and the role of the family institution in shaping the ever fragile and unstable boundaries between private space and public space. The text was written as an accompaniment to the drawings of "Of Mortgages and Marriages" by Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum, and published in "Meanwhile, in the Living Room...".

The seminar will take place over two days and is structured around two committees in which a number of different professionals will take part: artists, curators, and art historians. In each session, the debates will be preceded by a talk on the proposed subject.

Presentation
Great works of art weave many senses and different aesthetic, ethical and political values into a single form. They set off genuine research into human existence and historical and social events, redefining what is thinkable, visible and experimentable. Picasso’s Guernica, painted in 1937, is a case in point of an artistic creation that brings together all these meanings in an open, critical, enigmatic dialogue. Painted at the time of the Spanish Civil War and commissioned by the government of the Republic for its pavilion at the World’s Fair in Paris, it continues to be ackowledged as a universal symbol denouncing the barbarity of the bombing of civilian populations.
2012 marks the 75th anniversary of its presentation, in the Year of Cultures for Peace and Freedom. This provides an ideal setting for a review of its current significance and ongoing commitment to democratic values. It is also a good time to reflect on the deep-rooted links between creativity, remembrance and the permanent institution of a democratic project in the Basque, European and global contexts in the present time. This congress sets out to discuss these issues from the viewpoints of historical and philosophical clarification and of artistic and literary investigation.
