Study Day with Laura Cull and John Ó Maoilearca

Eventvan 29 mei 2015 tot 30 mei 2015

Artistic research shares with François Laruelle's 'non-philosophy' and the emerging field of 'performance philosophy' a condition of internal conflict: On one side, artistic research breaks out of acceptable knowledge, on the other it seeks to make its outcomes accepted as knowledge; on one side, it appropriates artistic modes of inquiry and presentation for research, on the other research already pervades the very artistic practice that produced them; on one side, artistic research resists institutionalism, on the other it needs to develop and maintain research networks in and across institutions.

During the Study Day, prof. Laura Cull and prof. John Ó Maoilearca, two leading scholars in performance philosophy and non-philosophy, will share with artist-researchers of the Orpheus Institute their latest research and discuss with them problems and commonalities between these three fields of knowledge.
