What if We All Knew? 12-hour (performative) reflection on artistic research / conference

Conference

LARGE – Laboratory for Art, Research and Graduate Education AVU cordially invites you to the 12-hour (performative) reflection on artistic research

Date
15 November 2024
Location
AVU Veletržní, Veletržní 826/61 170 00 Prague 7

Starting from the speculative possibilities of a “what if“ proposal, the event aims to imagine what hypothetical communities of knowledge might be catalysed by research in the arts. How is a collective “we” brought together by common ways of knowing, and how are these ways communicated inside and outside the group? What is the role of language in this communication and in what relationship does it find itself with non linguistic artistic media? How are the knowledge, competences and skills of multiple communities and sub-communities of researchers in different artistic fields evaluated and what are, in turn, the collectives of suitable peers to carry out such an evaluation? The third edition of the 12-hour performative reflection on artistic research will explore these questions, interrogating not only how a certain “we” might know what “you” don’t know, or “you” might be able to do what “we” are not, but also how this knowledge might be performed beyond description, explanation or illustration.
