On January 18, 2018, from 13:30-14:30, The Greenhouse arranges a guest lecture with Katja Kwastek at Stavanger Art Museum.
This talk will discuss works of contemporary art which strive to disentangle and make graspable the complex interrelations of environmental, social, and technological processes of what has been called the Anthropocene, to denote the geological epoch in which humans have started leaving irreversible traces on our planet. Artists to be discussed are Femke Herregraven, Angela Melitopoulos, Mark Dion, and Hito Steyerl, all of whom work with forms of technological media to make social and environmental commentary. The talk will be given in English.
Katja Kwastek is professor of modern and contemporary art at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. For more information, see http://www.kwastek.de/
The lecture is arranged in partnership with Stavanger Art Museum.
