‘Other Knowledege’

Artistic practice has gone through significant changes in the last century. Today, the arts articulate themselves less through mastering skills, moving more towards a practice of reviewing and rewriting history as a way to reflect on todays societies through artistic expression and their means. As with the knowledge produced by scientists, artist contribute to our understanding of the complexities of an ever changing world. Developing their own methodologies and language artist contribute in a different but nevertheless substantial way to the global production of knowledge. This presentation will introduce a range of recent examples of artists whose projects invest in transdisciplinary research and collaboration.

Translation will be provided (English to Vietnamese).

The event is free of charge.

Dr. Ute Meta Bauer is working as a curator of exhibitions and presentations on contemporary art, film, video, and sound, with a focus on transdisciplinary formats.
