A lecture on Contemporary Art and the future of it?
Dr. Tjasa Kancler, Barcelona, Spain within the frame of the IBK Lecture Series, organized by the studio for Post-conceptual Art Practices.
Outside the mainstream: other histories, practices, futures. The only way for contemporary art is to go elsewhere, but without leaving the here and now. Kancler will take us through images, references and imaginings that are contagious to all who want a change. The lecture will be held in English.Tjaša Kancler, PhD, is an activist, artist, researcher and professor (Serra Húnter Lecturer) of Media Arts and Gender Studies at the Department of Visual Arts and Design - Section for Art and Visual Culture, Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Barcelona.
