Moderation: Sebastian Köthe

This talk will attempt to find a syncopation between negativity and figuration, both as ways of re-interpreting critical concepts of mediation in the formation of conceptual and aesthetic experience, and as ways of thinking about what to do in or with the institutions and infrastructures of contemporary art and academia today.
