Curtis has also curated programmes for Arsenal : Institut für Film - und Videokunst e.V. in Berlin , for the Goethe Institut in Palestine and Israel . and was a member of the curatorial team for the 2002 Werkleitz Biennale on the topic of the capitalist logic of intercultural and sexual profit in the programmes entitled " '' Zugewinngemeinschaft '' . " The Biennale 's Website offers the following description of the topic : " Curated by a team of 12 artists and executives this years biennial is set to focus on the roots of apartheid as a broad-based and subtle phenomenon and to look at how separate identities are coined culturally , socially and politically , be it on the basis of colour , sex and class , or on the basis of education , wealth and profession . How do such factors define and reinforce the notion of ‘ they ’ on the one hand , and ‘ we ’ on the other ? A confrontation with the architecture of divisiveness and its possible antidotes , even if these be utopian in nature , will be at the heart of the 5th Werkleitz Biennial . Its title “ Zugewinngemeinschaft ” – a term from German marital law – can , however , also be understood in a much more far-reaching sense : if it is applied to a society that in many regards defines itself through added value ( or is focused on it ) and tends to want to exclude any other obligations , other political circumstances come into view .
