MODES OF WORK

 

The program combines several interconnected modes of artistic and critical activity.

 

Artistic presentation and contextualization

Participants present practices, methods, genealogies, and unresolved questions. Presentation is treated as an analytical act through which tacit premises become available for collective examination.

 

Practice-led experimentation

Participants test propositions through performance. Procedures may be repeated, varied, interrupted, redistributed, or placed under altered material conditions in order to clarify their effects.

 

Collective listening and analysis

Listening is approached as a critical practice rather than passive reception. Participants attend to form, agency, materiality, historical reference, perceptual framing, and the relation between intention and consequence.

 

Genealogical inquiry

Practices are situated within plural histories of transmission, invention, appropriation, preservation, and exclusion. Genealogy is used to complicate origin narratives and identify the conditions through which techniques and concepts acquire authority.

 

Methodological articulation

Participants develop precise vocabularies for describing what they do, how they know, and where their methods reach their limits. Verbal discourse remains accountable to performative evidence.

 

Performance as knowledge production

Performance generates knowledge through action, resistance, feedback, and transformation. Its results include not only finished works, but also revised methods, sharpened questions, and newly perceptible relations.

 

Public articulation

Festival presentations bring artistic research into contact with audiences and wider discursive contexts.
