Staging Knowledge
Salt Galata, Istanbul
Starting from the concept of artistic knowledge production, the participating artists discuss and demonstrate how performative dimensions play a significant role in various practices.
curated by Inci Eviner, Jan Kaila and Henk Slager
Once the artistic model could traditionally be described as an experience-based experiment. The current situation of research-based artistic practices, however, could rather be considered an experiment-based experience where predominantly laboratory-type settings and working methods produce artistic thought processes connected with specific forms of knowledge. Those forms of knowledge evade knowledge-attitudes that have been formatted, disciplined and instrumentalized by contemporary cognitive capitalism and could be characterized as un-knowledge, non-knowledge, not-yet knowledge, sensuous knowledge, or tacit knowledge. Nevertheless, those other forms of knowledge still relate to institutional environments where they continuously query “theatres of research” with respect to their terms, possibilities, and potentialities. In fact, we could indicate these novel artistic approaches and their specific forms of knowledge as epistemic practices explicitly claiming their idiosyncratic forms of dissemination, presentation, and display.
The issue of idiosyncratic forms of presentation is the starting point for Staging Knowledge, a two-day event organized by CICA in collaboration with SALT and taking place in Istanbul on June 15 and 16.
Starting from the concept of artistic knowledge production, the participating artists discuss and demonstrate how performative dimensions play a significant role in – rehearsing – various practices such as interventions in public space, formulation of artistic and research strategies, development of display systems and curatorial perspectives, and generation of artists’ texts and artists’ lectures.
