Jesse Shipley (April 1, 4-6pm, DWRL)
Producing work as scholars and artists is a form of both creating and contesting materialities and socialities. This workshop engages connections between archives, ethnography, and conceptualism. We will explore practices of research and art-making as pragmatic and performative social acts, focusing in particular on how artistic conceptualism enables forms of research that are potentially collaborative and critically engaged with representational practices. Each participant should bring some words, images, and/or archival pieces that we can play with and think through as a form of critical social practice.
