| Title |
Critical institutional practices: global perspectives across the visual arts and music theatre |
| Description |
The seminar's focus is on methods and production processes that open up new configurations of knowledge: experimentation in artistic form and curatorial practice, collective authorship, self-organized structures that bypass traditional institutional gatekeeping and the creation of transnational networks of solidarity. These approaches are considered not merely as oppositional gestures, but as constructive tools for building alternative cultural infrastructures. The relevance of this inquiry lies in its potential to inform institutional transformation and cultural discourse. The seminar will start with a workshop in February with curator Gabi Ngcobo (currently director of Kunstinstituut Melly in Rotterdam, the Netherlands) and composer, musician and installation artist Neo Muyanga (currently impresario at The Centre for the Less Good Idea, South Africa), two key thinkers and practitioners from South Africa working in/with European cultural institutions, who will present and discuss their work and experiences with us. Building on the frameworks introduced in the workshop, we will explore how artists, curators, and cultural practitioners in different contexts engage with and transform artistic institutional structures through programming, education, and governance. Through readings, student-led presentations, and collective analysis, students will interrogate the traditions of institutional critique, which have often been framed through a predominantly Western, late-20th-century canon, but also get to know new developments that expand and recontextualize those traditions. A maximum of two absences are allowed (with the exception of the first two sessions, which are mandatory to complete the class). It is a joint class with the professorship of Worlds Art History.
