We are proud to announce two new and upcoming entries in our FEINART Lecture Series.
First off, on January 13 at 17:30 GMT (18:30 CET) Gilly Karjevsky will present a lecture titled “The Site is Half the Work – curating Critical Spatial Practice”.
The lecture will be drawing on programs that emerged from their immediate contexts: Jardin Essentiel – a public garden in Brussels of over 30 varieties of medicinal and aromatic herbs which hosted two months of experimental design and artistic interventions in 2016, and climate care – a festival for theory and practice rooted at the Floating University Berlin (2019, 2021).

Then, on February 17 at 17:30 GMT (18:30 CET) Grant Kester will present a lecture titled “The Aesthetics of Answerability: Tactical Autonomy in Contemporary Socially Engaged Art.”.
In this talk he will examine some of the ways in which contemporary socially engaged art has transformed existing conventions of artistic and aesthetic autonomy, associated with the historical avant-garde. Through a series of examples, he’ll outline the unique forms of insight that these projects can generate, through the synthesis of both tactical and prefigurative elements in the act of resistance.
