VVP AVU si vás dovoluje pozvat přednášku z podzimního cyklu Středy na AVU ANTKE ENGEL /Berlín/ BOSSING IMAGES SUBVERTING NORMALCY THROUGH QUEER CULTURAL POLITICS 30-11-2016, 18:00
In this talk I will present „Bossing Images. The Power of Images, Queer Art, and Politics“, an ongoing series of curated evenings that started in 2012 at the NGbK Berlin. Bossing Images proposes bossiness as a framework through which to foreground the desiring but not always, hierarchical but never fully stabilized power relations that shape the production, reception, and circulation of art. The series draws on Elspeth Probyn’s thesis that desire travels in images, and inspires me to reflect upon artistic practices and queer cultural politics that intervene in regimes of normalcy.
