BOOK LAUNCH

On Art and Resistance: Book Launch NO Rhetoric(s)

University of Bern, Unitobler, 8.3.24, 4:15-6pm

 

Don’t miss the Book Launch of No Rhetoric(s) with special guest Mieke Bal. The video presentation of "It's About Time! Reflections on Time and Urgency" will be followed by a Keynote by Mieke Bal and a roundtable with Sara Alonso Gómez, Kendell Geers, Charlotte Matter, Isabel J. Piniella Grillet and Nadia Radwan.

Regarding the critique of the concept and practice of “artistic research”, it is necessary to consider how to resist the imposition of research on art-making, as well as the simplification of thought. To make art politically relevant, the resistance to the indi!erence to the world is crucial: viewers can become witnesses instead of passive contemplators. It is not enough to deploy the imagination, albeit indispensable, but also, to coin a new verb, we must image what we imagine.

The event will take place this coming Friday, 8 March 2024, 4.15 PM - 6.00 PM, Lerchenweg 36, Unitobler F-121 and will be followed by an apéro.
