SEMINAR by Kirsten Maar (Germany): New Schools: New Formats of Teaching and Mediating


Topic Tags: emancipated spectator ignorant master

How do we know what we know? How do we learn from each other? How do we deal with knowledge on an ethical level? And, how can we develop alternative forms of learning? Or establish “ecologies of practice” (Stengers)? Close to critical curatorial practice the field of mediation and teaching, the workshop-seminar asks for its own conditions, it looks at ways of mediating and producing knowledge in the cultural field beyond disciplines, within collaborative, practice-based and diverse research methods. We will work, based on short texts and material distributed beforehand (Moten/Harney, Manning et al..), starting with an input in the form of a lecture, going on in smaller working groups and then altogether to finally develop an adequate form of presentation.

Thematically, “Curating in Context” is related to the question of the curatorial and its extended understanding, which goes beyond black or white box presentation and representation politics.
