In the late 1970s he was convicted, in a very controversial trial, of murder and received a long prison sentence. He escaped from prison in 1981 and fled to France.

THE HALFWAY LECTURE

Technology: Art, Fairground and Theatre

Petran Kockelkoren will talk about some concepts developed in his oratio pro domo: Technology: Art, Fairground and Theatre (2003). From the camera obscura via the introduction of rail travel to IT: these countless innovations make it patently obvious that the introduction of new technologies disturbs the equilibrium of our senses. Artists incorporate these new techniques in their work, thus preparing the way for their more widespread application. In doing this, artists are accessories to the cultural re-education of our senses. What does this mean for the autonomy of art?

Petran Kockelkoren holds the chair in Art and Technology at the Department of Philosophy, University of Twente. He also holds a lectorship Art and Technology at ArtEZ, Institute of the Arts.

This halfway lecture will be moderated by John Heymans.

Thursday January 25

SCHOOL OF THOUGHT
20.00 Lecture by Anne van der Zwaag.
Anne van der Zwaag is an art historian who specializes in the intersections between art, design, architecture and fashion. At the University of Utrecht she did an extensive research after the phenomenon of artist's books and a specific collection of these publications from the sixties and seventies from artists such as Andy Warhol, Gilbert & George, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt and Lawrence Weiner. In her lecture she will give an insight in the history of the book as an art form, the most important practitioners of 'book art' as well as the complex definition of the artist book.

Friday January 26
