The Making of an Institution – Reason to Exist: The Director’s Review. Instituting Otherwise, talk by Maria Hlavajova (Slovakia/Netherlands), Curator-in-Residence

22 Mar 2017, Wed 07:30 PM - 09:00 PM
Drawing upon the practice of BAK, basis voor actuele kunst in Utrecht (Netherlands), where she is the founding artistic director, Maria Hlavajova will discuss the notion of “instituting otherwise”. Dedicated to thinking about, with, and through art, BAK develops long-term research trajectories addressing the urgencies that define our contemporary, including issues of social and environmental justice as well as the impact of digital technologies on the present. Hlavajova will speculatively expand upon a number of interrelated projects she has been engaged with, such as FORMER WEST (2008–2016) and Future Vocabularies (2014–ongoing), all the while exploring the shifts in our existing conceptual lexicon within artistic, intellectual, and activist practices.

This talk is part of the public programme of The Making of an Institution.
