The
conference “Institutions, Politics, Performance” seeks to bring
together interdisciplinary theoretical discourses on politics and
artistic production that explicitly negotiate with institutions
through experimental praxes from within and beyond them. The
conference will take place in occupied Green Park space in Athens,
Greece and presentations will explore the theme through conventional
and non-conventional investigations. This conference will include
paper presentations, lecture-performances, workshops, dialogues,
round-table discussions as well as less conventional informal
discussions and events, performative acts, city walks and screenings.
The
conference will take place in Athens, Greece where, currently, the
ongoing economic and social crises as well as recent governmental
shifts make the question of institutions particularly pertinent. We
seek to bring together into conversation diverse approaches and
methodologies of institutional critique, past and present, as well as
propositions for new forms and alternative practices.
