<div>The<b> Bratislava BAK Summer School:</b></div>
<div>Art in a Time of Interregnum</div>
<div>is a collaborative and intensive learning week in
Bratislava</div>
<div>from 18-21 September 2018,</div>
<div>organized in partnership with BAK (basis voor actuele kunst) in
Utrecht, Open Studio/Studio IN - Academy of Fine Arts and Design in
Bratislava, APART Collective in Bratislava, and initiated by
Kristína Országhová.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>An advanced, interdisciplinary course designed for artists,
curators, art theorists, academics, university students, and
professionals in the fields of art and social change, this summer
school begins from the understanding that ours is a time of
interregnum-a time of crisis and ongoing transition. Much in the
sense of political thinker Antonio Gramsci's understanding of
crisis, these times are rife with a ?"great variety of morbid
symptoms" as ruling structures prove, in their grasping at
"coercive force," to no longer be sustainable; "the old is dying
and the new cannot be born." As social, geopolitical, economic, and
technological structures rapidly change, along with the unraveling
legacies of western modernity, and with ongoing recompositions of
class, global migration, and the endurability of the planet, so
transform ideas, practices, and meanings of resistance, coming
together, identity, activist and artistic practice, and collectivity
and closeness-as well as the notions of artistic production, the
(art) institution, and the public. How, then, does art relate to a
contemporary as such? How to think art under such circumstances, and
how to think about the contemporary with and through art in order to
build space for envisioning ways of being together otherwise?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The Bratislava BAK Summer School takes place from 18-21
?September 2018 in Bratislava, Slovakia.</div>
