THE SYMP OS IS IN ENG IUM LISH

Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art in collaboration with The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, are delighted to invite you to join a symposium that aims to provide a platform for the discussion of how we produce, collect and circulate, knowledge created through artistic practice.

The symposium will provide a space for the exchange of ideas and experiences surrounding the ongoing discussion of how we produce, collect and circulate knowledge created through artistic practice. How can we elicit, and discuss knowledge in the experience of art? How do we speak about knowledge and recognition in the context of art? What kind of language can we use in the discussion and how does this define our relation to normative rules about what useful knowledge is? The Symposium is being held in relation to the publication of Kaffebord 2. The Kaffebord books are an experiment with knowledge production, which Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art has developed over the last years with the purpose of actively contributing to a discussion between contemporary art, knowledge and education. A number of theorists, academics and artists with a wide range of backgrounds have participated in the table discussions kaffebord - where they have shared their experiences, perspectives and insights into the production and reception of knowledge. These discussions have been recorded, then transcribed and brought together as a book. Kaffebord 2 is available for free download at Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Arts website: www.denfrie.dk from the 15th March.
