The seminar invites participants from all fields to share and discuss their ongoing spatial and artistic ideas, material and media processes or (thesis) projects through collective feedback. Together we will develop our thinking and making around these "open cases", which we will consider through artistic research methods and situated spatial practices as well as through decentralized histories and critical approaches.

The seminar invites participants from all fields to share and discuss their ongoing spatial and artistic ideas, material and media processes or (thesis) projects through collective feedback. Together we will develop our thinking and making around these "open cases", which we will consider through artistic research methods and situated spatial practices as well as through decentralized histories and critical approaches. In regular meetings and in a non-hierarchical structure with different and changing roles, we get to know and contextualize the projects and processes presented by the participants. We understand knowledge production as reciprocal and intersubjective and thus question rigid binary distinctions between teachers and learners, producers and recipients as well as creation and critique. We encourage the active participation and contribution of all to reshape teaching/learning and shift perspectives –in a shared space for critical collaborative thinking, research and process-based action. Together we examine the blind spots of Western academia, its inclusions and exclusions, its systems of recognition and de-recognition.
