Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich

Date

November 9, 10 am–5 pm

Admission fee: 25 CHF, reduced 15 CHF

‘Third, fourth and fifth spaces’

Hedwig Fijen (Manifesta Director) and Nataša Petrešin-Bachelez (MJ Chief Editor) will open the symposium with an introductory speech; and Virginie Bobin (MJ Associate Editor) and Sepake Angiama (Manifesta Head of Education) are programmed to give presentations on Saturday.

The symposium will present and discuss current practices of reading, researching, publishing, and curating that have been enabled by the internet and its social technologies; while exploring new formats and advocating the open circulation of knowledge. An emphasis will be placed on contemporary artistic and curatorial practices as being temporary effects of processes of negotiation between subjects, contexts and their relations. How do the proposed new public and social spaces appropriate the territories designated online (and paper) formats of magazines for creative formats of display, criticism, participation, narration and positioning?
