Event overview
Irit Rogoff, Professor of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, will be delivering a lecture titled, 'Participation: A User's Guide'.
This research project on participation tries to veer away from the inclusive prescription that characterises the so called 'participatory turn in contemporary art' in which various protocols were created to invite subjects into projects and spaces. Instead it asks what does it mean to take part in culture beyond the roles that culture allots us for taking part? By looking to the work of Arendt, Agamben, Nancy questions of community and collectivity are fleshed out through the concept of 'singularity' rather than that of identity. Equally, this engagement with the blurring of lines between makers, viewers, objects and spaces has required the development of an alternative vocabulary to capture the shifting relations within the art world.
