Seminar: Group Effort
With Geoff Cox
Description:
Radical changes in the nature of work have lead to the current tendency to regard curatorial, artistic and cultural work as indicative of the ways in which all work is increasingly (forced to be) creative, flexible and precarious - making artists exemplary contemporary workers. Through selected projects of contemporary artists and groups we will explore the increased sharing of skills and expertise as well as the rising importance of communicative interconnections in what the autonomists call the ’social factory’.
Goals:
- To introduce concepts and examples of contemporary interdisciplinary arts praxis.
- To develop strategies for research and future creative production that is informed by historical and theoretical references.
