Lecture Performance
Simon Fujiwara, The Personal Effects of Theo Grünberg, 2010.
The lecture performance works at the interface between lecturing and performing, providing a mediation between art and knowledge and combining research, visual art and performative storytelling methods. This two day seminar will explore the genre of the lecture performance. The seminar will provide a survey of this allusive area by looking at works coming from visual and performance art, activism and theatre, which will be analyzed and interpreted within a group discussion and debate. If contemporary art can be considered as a space for knowledge production, then what are the terms of inquiry? How is this manifested and information exchanged? How can art operate within academic, scientific, political and media channels? The seminar is intended to generate a useful resource, developed within a discursive setting, that students can then use to inform their own artistic practices.
Workform:
Students will be asked for prepare case studies of lecture performance that will be presented to the seminar group for discussion and debate. Students will be asked to interpret and discuss the different examples. Case studies can be drawn from a list prepared by the seminar leader. Additionally students can suggest their own examples. These studies will contribute to a building of knowledge and practice through presentation and group debate over content and style. Students will learn how to research and present material for group discussion.
The seminar will also include a live performance lecture by Brazilian artist Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez on the evening of March 6th on the 8th floor Kunstakademiet
Following the seminar, Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez will be available for tutorials all day on 7th of March. For tutorials - please sign up on the list on the information board - 4th floor Kunstakademiet.
