Study Day "Praxis as Space"
Praxis as Space offers a moment to reflect on how the last three years have altered and heightened the awareness and experience of immediacy and distance in the arts. This workshop will focus on the lingering tensions we grapple with in thinking about duration, presence, and absence in the framework of the exhibition as a social site. Almost fifty years after RoseLee Goldberg addressed space's complex relation to the very experience of experience in her seminal essay "Space as Praxis" (1975), notions of site specificity and affective agency have changed dramatically and yet remain constant. This reciprocity between stillness and movement through various media is especially relevant when thinking about the ritual of the liminal (Wood 2017 / Turner 1995) in relation to performative environments and settings that move from one institutional context to the next. In considering this passage of time, a series of questions arise. How do recent site-specific interactions invested in social relations respond and question the cultural status quo? In what ways can the staging of materiality and immediacy challenge institutional temporalities? And, how can new forms of articulating movement impact and (re)determine the significance of participation and agency in contemporary art?

In thinking through these and other questions, the Praxis as Space study day will consider the performative as a transdisciplinary medium and discursive practice from various curatorial, artistic, and theoretical perspectives.

Praxis as Space is organized by Barbara Clausen as part of her 2023 Chillida Visiting Professorship at the Institute of Art History at Goethe University Frankfurt. lt is made possible by the Etxepare Basque Institute, Donostia/San Sebastian and the Faculty of the Arts at the University of Quebec in Montreal.
