| Content | In line with growing discussions around the relationship between art and academia, “knowledge societies” (UNESCO 2005) and “Artistic research as activity for border-crossers” (Dombois et.al 2012:II), this course seeks to explore and develop the intersection between the arts and academia towards a more comprehensive and integrated research approach within the university. The course is structured as a 3-part seminar closely linked to a series of performative talks, entitled KIN-SHIP-ING, curated by Kadiatou Diallo at Kaserne Basel. The proposed notion of KIN-SHIP-ING, as an act/ivity, invites a conversation about artistic practice as a process of spinning constructive, often times unexpected, connections between the seemingly disparate; including art and science. The work of three of the invited artists/ collectives will serve as starting points for discussions during the seminar. Themes may range from colonial epidemiologies and political histories of tuberculosis in South Africa to a study of observation by tracking (astronomical) site and event from India into outer space. * Together with the artists, we will look at what learnings can be taken away from artistic research, multi/inter/transdisciplinary approaches, divergent knowledge (re)sources and an array of forms and formats to present outcomes. Outcomes from the seminar in connection to the KIN-SHIP-ING series will be compiled in form of an experimental podcast in collaboration with the podcastlab Basel. *The final line up and exact visiting dates, as well as preparatory material will be communicated in early 2020. The seminar will take place three times for 1-2 days respectively, in March, April and May, and be held at Kaserne Basel. |
