Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology

Wednesday October 11, The School of Visual Arts and Kunsthal Charlottenborg will host an art talk with the Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology.

Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology, founded by Dea Antonsen and Ida Bencke, is a multidisciplinary platform working with experimental exhibition formats and knowledge productions in the knotty entanglements between the human and the non-human, between the arts and the sciences, guided by posthuman and queer strategies – be they artistic, theoretical, scientific or everything at once.

At this talk, Laboratory for Aesthetics and Ecology will talk about facilitating conversations across disciplines and species. About the work on potentials and problems in multilingual storytelling. About the importance of cultivating generosity and courtesy in more-than-human (art) worlds. About curatorial difficulties and all that can go wrong when communities based on unequal partners try to get to know each other. About insisting on affection and care, not as embarassing residues of a ‘serious science’, but as epistemological basic principles for the foundation of new responsibilities and the genesis of species.

The talk will be in Danish. Admission is free.
