IN PROGRESS… | Colloquium
IN PROGRESS… | Colloquium
Research in Art, Science and Humanities
Curated by Regine Rapp
With Daphne Dragona and WhiteFeather Hunter
The Colloquium (on 12 July it will be hybrid, on-site and online!) addresses an international interdisciplinary research audience to present and discuss past, present or future projects by artists and scholars, curators or editors from the fields of art, science and the humanities. The topics could refer to an art project, a book, text or chapter, a research or exhibition project, a lab experiment, a lecture series, a conference concept or other.
The presentations and exchange will focus on the work-in-progress. Methodological approaches – theoretical or practical – are also of great interest here. While researching, we often tend to shift between practical inquiry and theoretical research, browsing various disciplines. Following the original meaning of colloquium as “speaking together”, we want to provide a platform for exchange and embrace various kinds of work processes which are often not seen or talked about.
Structure of the sessions: Each session will include two presentations followed by discussions, altogether 90 min. The colloquium welcomes informal conversations amongst the participants.
Structure of Meetings
2 presentations per session and a plenum conversation (altogether 90 min.)
Tue, 12 July 2022, 8 pm CET
This time hybrid: BOTH on-site AND online!
(no livestream, if recorded then for archive purpose only)
