RESEARCH SEMINAR EXHIBITION STUDIES 

How can we learn something that we don’t know yet? On the one hand this sounds like a paradox, but isn’t it actually what research is all about? And how can exhibitions and curatorial practices of knowledge production challenge what can be said, done and seen? The research seminar is a transnational context for sharing work on critical documenta and exhibition studies.

 

The seminar takes place for one week every semester in Kassel. The aim is both, very pragmatic towards advancing research processes and admitting that research is full of loopings, blockages and new beginnings. We share strategies of knowledge production as exploration, analysis, reflection, investigation and imagination. We discuss methodologies and readings, explore approaches and allow us to encounter dead ends.

The seminar is an open context for resaerchers in documenta and exhibition studies. Everyone who subscribes to this mailinglist will be invited and can collaborate in the process. The list is open but to subscribe means to engage in the process.
