Symposium: Knowledge at the Edge of Collapse

In the closing week of Madeleine Andersson: SHOCK VALUE, Index presents a two day symposium organized by Andersson and Mandus Ridefelt. The symposium brings together voices with different positions, roles and approaches to a reimagined relationship between art and science.

The symposium explores perversionism, anomalistics & disruptology within science and artistic research. Its point of departure is Andersson’s exhibition, where she questions the result-based practice of scientific research and instead explores its experimental, absurd and almost artistic nature. In the symposium Ridefelt and Andersson, together with the invited guests, asks questions like; What does placing perversion as a fundamental driver to epistemic practice tell us about data and its anomalies? How can we disrupt the institutional scripts arranging art and science? Which assumptions are holding us back from a release of the potentials we so much like to talk about?

More information about the event, lectures and the schedule for the two days will be announced in the beginning of August.
