LIAS Workshop: Marina's Cues: Infrastructures of Disalienation
29. Jan - 31. Jan
Date: Wednesday, January 29th - Friday, January 31st 2025
Location: Leuphana University, C40.704
Language: English
This public workshop brings together fifteen international writers, artists and poets whose work developed with that of Marina Vishmidt: producing with her, organizing with her, being in conversation with her, sharing their lives with her. On the first evening of “Marina’s Cues: Infrastructures of Disalienation” we will introduce three unpublished essays authored by Marina Vishmidt that will form the core of a book of the same title to be published in 2025, while on the second day we will present short test cases of what it means to work with Marina’s work, taking it for a spin. Marina’s three essays discuss what she termed “infrastructural critique”, its development within art and (necessarily) beyond it. They examine the breaks and continuities that lead art out of itself into the struggles running through it. All of the participants will treat her propositions as foundations and springboards. On day three we start by screening a film to set the tone, before closing the workshop with an extensive conversation between participants and audience about where the spins we took took us.
Workshop organised by Kerstin Stakemeier, LIAS Associate Fellow and Danny Hayward, LIAS Artist Fellow.
