Academy Lectures: Maria Lind and Apolonija Šušteršič

Šušteršič’s work is related to a critical analysis of space, usually focused on the processes and relationships between institutions, cultural politics, urban planning and architecture. Among other things, she will present her early work that has been done in cooperation with Maria Lind. These are projects departing from what would be described as constructive institutional critic and relate to the context and situation found at place.

Lind’s current curatorial project for the Gwangju Biennale considers art’s capacity to speak about the future and to build relations to local individuals and groups and thus relates to common interests with Šušteršič. Among other things, Lind will talk about the exhibition entitled Frederick Kiesler: Visions at Work Annotated by Céline Condorelli and Six Student Groups at Tensta konsthall, an exhibition focussing on Kiesler’s interest in the intersection between art and life.

PLEASE NOTE NEW DATE AND TIME: MAY 26, 2016, 5PM!
