TRANSART MFA THESIS EXHIBITION, JULY 21-26
The projects range in scope and concern from an explorations of the face as form to the political, economic and social realities of the African Diaspora, from the investigation of the boundaries between material and immaterial labor in art making to an interactive film making session that questions the idea of representation. Anonymous texts from literature, the historic record, advice columns, current events and online forums that have been put to music provide for a lighter note as does the series of photographs and video titled 'Lightheaded' in which the useful household object becomes an accessory worn as fashion couture, as a ritual headdress, and as a heraldic crown.
Vernissage: July 21, 20:00

TRANS-WHAT? SYMPOSIUM, JULY 28
More than a dozen researches, theorists and artists will share insights into a range of projects, all connected to aspects of the prefix 'trans-' with its range of meanings from 'across' and 'beyond' to 'on the opposite side'. The symposium will explore further acts of translation through short papers and alternative forms of presentation such as performance-lectures. Presenters explore new modes of communication and exchange, the spaces in which knowledge is formed, produced and disseminated, challenge forms and paradigms through which artistic research operates, and reflect on the deeper consequences of changing something to something else.
