Workshops

Interdisciplinarity in curatorial networks (23 - 24 February 2023)

Methodology of researching historical exhibitions (16 - 17 March 2023)

The project Beyond Matter wishes to announce two workshops that will 
take place at the ZKM in the context of the exhibition "Matter. 
Non-Matter. Anti-Matter." Museum professionals, cultural practitioners, 
and researchers are invited to join the workshops that are organized in 
a cooperation between the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe and

Workshop 1: Interdisciplinarity in curatorial networks

23 - 24 February 2023

The exhibition "Matter. Non-Matter. Anti-Matter" deals with the 
reconstruction of historical exhibitions, focusing on virtual 3D models 
of the exhibitions Les Immatériaux (Centre Pompidou, 1985) and 
Iconoclash (ZKM | Karlsruhe, 2002). Both projects sought to develop the 
exhibition concepts and contents through specially constructed 
interdisciplinary networks of artists, scientists, and curators. This 
workshop explores the different structures that such interdisciplinary 
curatorial networks can take, and discusses them in light of the 
concepts and the results that they engender. The goal will be to reflect 
on the recent research about these two exemplary exhibitions and to 
broaden the scope for addressing the questions they raised about 
interdisciplinarity in art and science.

On the afternoon of Thursday 23 Feb, the invited speakers will present 
exemplary cases of interdisciplinary curatorial networks, followed by an 
in-depth discussion with participants and the audience on Friday 24 Feb.

Invited presenters:

Barbara Vanderlinden, Daniel Tyradellis, Beatrice von Bismarck, Gabriele 
Gramelsberger, Bassam El Baroni


Workshop 2: Methodology of researching historical exhibitions

16 - 17 March 2023

For more than three decades, art history and science studies have 
increasingly engaged in researching exhibitions as the sites and the 
media of production, presentation, and negotiation. This workshop 
discusses the methods of the comparative study and description of 
exhibition histories with regard to the examples of Les Immatériaux and 
Iconoclash. It evaluates aesthetic, epistemological, and political 
aspects and the meanings generated by the ensembles of curators, 
networks, and exhibits that constitute such exhibition projects. Another 
focus is placed on the investigation of the medial conditions of 
historical exhibitions, and on the relationship between medial and 
methodological innovations.

On the afternoon of Thursday 16 March, the invited speakers will present 
exemplary historical exhibitions, followed by an in-depth discussion 
about research methodologies with participants and the audience on 
Friday 17 March.

Invited presenters:

Francesca Gallo, Lucy Steeds, Jérôme Glicenstein, Marcella Lista, Luise 
Reitstätter, Kai-Uwe Hemken


Organised and moderated by

Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás and Felix Koberstein (ZKM, Beyond Matter, research 
on "Iconoclash")

Andreas Broeckmann (Leuphana University, research on "Les Immatériaux")
