Thomas Söderqvist Martha Fleming, som var hovedkurator på vores udstilling Del & Hel: Brudstykker fra Biomedicinens Tid (2009-2010) taler om “Museum as Material, Exhibition as Scholarly Publication” på Kunstakademiets Billedkunstskoler, fredag den 1. april, kl. 13-15.
What does it mean to consider an institution to be a kind of ‘material’? What sort of research is it possible for an artist to effect inside a science museum? What does research itself mean in different scholarly contexts, and how does the artist facilitate interdisciplinarity beyond the studio and the gallery? This seminar will be of interest to those who want to know about intellectual and logistical issues of working with non-art museums, those whose conceptual work engages with science practice and history and philosophy of science, and those interested in the work that has come out of the radical aesthetics of 1980s site specific projects. Martha Fleming has made large-scale site specific installations, museum collection interpretation projects, and now works at the Natural History Museum in London. She will be speaking about her work as an artist, as a museum professional and as an historian of science.
Det foregår i det italienske auditorium, Kongens Nytorv 1, København.
