Abstract
Description
OPEN PROCESS is part of the CROSS FACULTY GROUPS ongoing program of lunch seminars.
The lunch seminars function is to create a place and time for people at the FACULTY OF FINE, APPLIED AND PERFORMING ARTS, Univ. of Gothenburg to meet other interested in discussing and practicing performance and performativity as method and theory. The seminars, meetings and other events that the CROSS FACULTY GROUP arranges are always open for everyone to take part in. We believe that knowledge is being produced in the meeting (fusion, blurring, merging intra-action, transformation) between all participants of all forms, all matters and in mattering. Space, place, people and other parties are all part of the ongoing transformative process of understanding and making knowledge.
The overall aim of the cross‐disciplinary performance group is to give members of the Faculty a context in which to encounter and experience performativity and its meanings, whilst obtaining tools to analyze and produce discussion and of performative modes of expression and strategies as a way to explore the world, including human communication and social interaction. The group will develop a critical mass guided by transparency in an inclusive environment, welcoming both intimate discussions and outreaching events as part of everyday action and extreme excess.
