Programme

One-day workshop taught by curator and critic Mark Kremer.

This lecture takes as its subject the dealings with history of a selection of artists, with whom I have collaborated for 'my' exhibitions. The focus is not so much on the traditional idea that artists build their work on (art) history, but rather on the phenomenon that artists live their own time and make their own history, sometimes even using the special kind of time travel of moving to the past or to the future. Examples of work will be presented from artists such as Hrein Fridfinnsson, Cerith Wyn Evans, Harmen Brethouwer, Janos Sugar, Rodney Graham, Michael Landy and Taf Hassam.

During the workshop PhDArts students Italo Zuffi and Hans Scholten will present their research projects.
