About this Event

In contemporary art, the production of ideas increasingly takes place across multiple forms: artworks, exhibitions, and writing. Artists frequently engage philosophical, historical, and political questions as part of their practice, while curatorial work has developed into a mode of research that organizes and activates these inquiries in public space.

The event will be introduced by Anton Vidokle (e-flux) with Vincent Worms and Sandra Terdjman (KADIST), who will describe the theoretical basis and functionality of the . Following this introduction, the conversation on the nature of artistic and curatorial research today will feature Lauren Cornell, Trevor Paglen, and KJ Abudu.
