Art and...

Between Two Deaths At ZKM, Karlsruhe

Contemporary art is not on its own any more. It's no longer just 'art', it's art and politics and fiction and sex and death and horror and sleeping and reading and horse-riding and... No longer in splendid isolation, nor an autonomous specialism, art has become a space of transversality and connectivity, a movement which explicitly sets out to de-territorialise the disciplines, fields and institutions it works across. Art can be seen as an in-between space that produces temporary alliances between practices and fields.

Speakers include: Fabienne Audeoud, artist and musician; Peter Osborne, Professor of Modern European Philosophy at Middlesex University, and an editor of Radical Philosophy; John Cussans, multi-media artist and writer, whose research explores para-psychological scenarios and multi-authoring processes; Patricia McCormack, Senior Lecturer, Department of English, Communication, Film and Media at Anglia Ruskin University, who has written on Italian horror from a Deleuzoguattarian perspective; Felix Ensslin, curator and writer based in Berlin, who recently organised Between Two Deaths At ZKM, Karlsruhe, and is a regular contributor to www.dictionaryofwar.org; JJ Charlesworth, critic and Reviews Editor, ArtReview; Nicholas Chare, Associate Lecturer in Art History at the University of Reading.
