About the lecture
Date: March 17, 2017, 18:30-20:00
Venue: Red Chair Lecture Hall, Building 7, CAFA
This lecture will be about artist practice dedicated to a form of work based in process.
Historically, time is an important concept in the development of projects.
First, there will be a series of short presentations of artist working in process, such as Christo, On Kawara, Hans Haacke, Hanne Darboven, etc. where the methodology is diverse for each one and indicates their relation with time.
Then a series of Muntadas projects, follow the previous presentation in which process is an important element. Works such as Translation series, and Asian Protocols, will be part of this presentation.
