Kunstkritikeren Bartelik holder forelæsninger i København

Marek Bartelik vil holde to forelæsninger i København – den ene i november og den anden i december. Første forelæsning finder sted tirsdag den 29. november kl. 16-18, hvor Bartelik taler på Kunstakademiets Billedkunstskoler under overskriften The Beautiful Disaster. Han introducerer sin forelæsning som følger:

“On the transformation of the Laocoön from the ancient statue to the sculpture by Eva Hesse and beyond. This is a chapter from my forthcoming book Gentle rain: The Farewell to Art Criticism. I put Hesse’s work in the context of visual memory and evidence (as in Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas) and the traumatic experience of returning to her hometown, Hamburg; the hometown of Warburg as well. Part of the essay talks about the absence of Antiope, the wife of Laocoön, in canonical works dealing with the ancient myth.”

Anden forelæsning afholdes fredag den 2. december kl. 14-16, hvor Bartelik taler på Institut for Kunst- og Kulturvidenskab under overskriften Changing Paradigms of the Biennials in Asia. Han præsenterer sin forelæsning som:

“A lecture inspired by the recent biennials in South Korea (Gwangju) and Taiwan (Taipei). I will talk about the place of the Enlightenment ideology in the concept of the Biennial, and how it doesn’t fit well into the Asian context. The presentation will be followed by a discussion on the issues raised.”

Begge arrangementer er åbne for alle og der er fri entré.
