On Saturday 16 October the Interdisciplinary Research Group ACPA/KABK/KC* gives a performative talk at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania as part of the congress 'X-Disciplinarity in Artistic Research and Related Matters'.
Students and staff are welcome to register up until 13 October for attending (parts of) the conference online via Zoom.
More than 70 artists and researchers will join, in person and online, the four-day event to discuss "To Research or Not To Research in the Post-disciplinary Academy?", addressing questions on artistic research, the nature of its relationship with academia and to artistic practice, the culture sector, and the art world.
The Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG), consisting of four researchers Jed Wentz (ACPA), Thalia Hoffman (ACPA), Lyndsey Housden (KABK) and Justin Bennett (KC), will give a 15' hybrid performative talk entitled 'The Voice; between Body and Imagination' on Saturday 16 October at 11.45.
The starting point of this conference is Charles Esche's proposal in his essay Include Me Out: Helping Artists to Undo the Art World, where he writes of 'certain educational fundamentals' including 'anti-specialization, anti-isolation/anti-autonomy, and anti-hierarchy'.[1]
