Researching imaginaries intensive live-stream, May 2025

Over a five day period we live-stream guest presentations by invited artists, scholars, curators and researchers who address different aspects of artistic research and questions of ‘the imaginary’. Contributors include: Jason E. Bowman, Charles Esche, Vincenzo Estremo, Cătălin Gheorghe, Petra Johansson, Kerstin Mey, Andrea Phillips, Nuno Sacramento, KissPál Szabolcs, Tünde Varga, and Mick Wilson.

The presentations and conversations will address different aspects of the imaginary as a reserach construct within contemporary art practice and artistic research. Over the week we explore a spectrum of concerns ranging from wider questions of the imagination to profiles of specific research projects, while also introducing the idea of organisational imaginaries and emerging research on infrastructures of distribution. The intensive takes place in person in the Glasshouse at the University of Gothenburg with part of the programme streamed online as described below. Participation online is open to specialists and non-specialists alike.
