Performance and the politics of landscapes

Description

In this research event, professor Shannon Jackson and curator Milena Högsberg discuss curatorial and performance methods that create critical dialogues with a specific landscape. Seeking to unpack the politics of situating artistic work and explore specific practices that emerge when thinking/working with the landscape, in this event we will consider questions of relevance, situatedness, specificity, groundation, intervention, wayfinding and persistence. How may an engagement with complexities of the landscape offer new ways of doing as well as give rise to modes of practice that rethink modus operandi, social imaginaries and sedimented practices? In what ways are socio-political and ecological landscapes, institutions and curatorial/performance methods mutually interconnected? Through this event we seek to elaborate on the potential of artistic practice to form new social habits, critical publics and pedagogies of the common in and with the landscape.
