CCS-Kolloquium – Christoper Weikenmeier
11. Juni
Kolloquium
18:15 - 19:45 Uhr, C40.530
Das Center for Critical Studies Foschungskolloquium findet dreimal im Semester statt und gibt den Mitgliedern des CCS die Chance, Forschungsprojekte zu präsentieren und diskutieren, an denen sie im Moment arbeiten.
In dieser Sitzung wird Christopher Weikenmeier den folgenden Vortrag halten: "Death is not Enough". Institutionality and Death in Contemporary Art.
"Drawing on recent work by artists Ima-Abasi Okon and Ligia Lewis, the presentation will consider aesthetic strategies of staging deadness and dying that are specific to and contingent upon the institution. As the continued use of the metaphor of the dead institution (most likely originating in G.W.F. Hegel's early theological writings) suggests, the institution and death rarely coincide; both the institution and death tend to survive themselves. While it is usually assumed that the deadness of an institution is nothing more than an index of its failure (as a crisis of its legitimacy), recent art practices of 'deadening' the institution point towards the institution as an advantageous site for engaging with the necropolitical perforation of contemporary life."
Das Kolloquium des Center for Critical Studies wird von Heiko Stubenrauch und Anne Gräfe organisiert. Diese Veranstaltung findet auf Englisch statt.
