Each One, Teach One
Theory Tuesdays
Philip Matesic
 

During this Theory Tuesdays session, Pablo will present the essay „Cultural Logic of Criticality“ by Marina Vishmidt. In "The Cultural Logic of Criticality" Marina Vishmidt is concerned with charting the emergence of ‚criticality’ as a technology of legitimation and power in contemporary art institutions and proximate discourses. ‚Criticality’ is examined as a ‚cultural logic’ and compared to different philosophical iterations of critique. Cybernetic theory provides her a model for analyzing how critique becomes functional to the maintenance of existing states of affairs. Finally other potential avenues for critique as rhetorical stance and praxis are evaluated through case studies.

The text and session will be held in English. It's encouraged that you read the essay beforehand, to participate in the discussion.

Präsentation
The Knowledge Museum
Lia Perjovschi
 

Lia Perjovschi will discuss a few of her previous projects in context , the evolution of her practice and the changes it underwent as a result of various personal, social and political events , and how she ultimately reached the Knowledge Museum. The Knowledge Museum is a project in which Lia recycles all her other artistic projects including elements of her Contemporary Art Archive (CAA), the first archive of its kind in Romania. Like an architect, she presents a model - on a table , on the walls , or in a space - using diagrams from her interdisciplinary research. This research comes from books , reviews, the internet, and objects mainly in museum stores from around the globe (collected from 1999 until today and used for educational purposes). The Knowledge Museum comprises 7 departments: Earth, Body, Art, Culture, Knowledge, Science, and Universe. It is not 'The Museum', but rather a basic starting point . Knowledge is Surviving (doing the best you can out of what you have).
