IN PROGRESS… | Colloquium
Art Laboratory Berlin is delighted to invite you to take part in our Colloquium (this time both online and on-site!), a discursive format on research in art, science and humanities, curated by Regine Rapp. It takes place in tandem with our Reading Club, curated by Tuçe Erel.
The colloquium 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.
The colloquium welcomes informal conversations amongst the participants, and will not be recorded or archived.
Speaker on 18 February 2025 Session
Terike Haapoja | Animals, Biocapital and Left Politics
The colloquium builds on Haapoja's ongoing art and research project [Against] Animal Capitalism, in which she critically examines the role of animality under capitalism and the anthropocentrism of the socialist traditions, and calls for a multispecies Left politics. In her talk Animals, Biocapital and Left Politics Haapoja focuses on the notion of nonhuman labour and biocapital as driving forces of accumulation in capitalism. How are animal labor, biological reproduction or the regeneration of organic materials articulated in economic theories? How can we acknowledge nonhuman participation in production processes and build a multispecies alliance against capitalist extraction?
Terike Haapoja is an interdisciplinary visual artist based in Berlin. Her installations, writings, and collaborations explore the possibility of nonviolent coexistence across differences, with a specific focus on multispecies politics. She is the co-editor of seven publications on art and politics/environment, and her work has been exhibited widely in solo and group shows internationally. Haapoja represented Finland in the 55th Venice Biennale with a solo show in the Nordic Pavilion, and her work has been awarded with the Guggenheim Fellowship (2022), ANTI Prize for Live Art (2016), Finnish State Art Prize (2016) among others.
