ART & STUFF Â₌“ BETWEEN CONTEMPORARY ART AND ANTHROPOLOGY
In relation to the exhibition Upstream by Øyvind Renberg and Miho Shimizu, we welcome you to a lecture by Charlotte Bik Bandlien, anthropologist and researcher om material culture with SIFO.
A lecture on the dynamics between the ethnographic turn in contemporary art and the crisis of representation in anthropology, the transgression of contemporary art and anthropological theories as integrated phenomena, and about the concept of style and the material turn.
