\n<\/em>On Parasite Art<\/em> – Subversive interventions in the public sphere.<\/em>
\nAula Magna da FBAUP

How do we manage to stay resistant in times where irritation becomes innovation and critique a corporate culture. Focused on artistic resistance within dominant systems such as the market, my artistic practice and research challenges traditional notions of appropriation, proposing that being “already appropriated” becomes a strategic tool for Parasite Art and subversive practice.<\/p>\n

In the lecture I will elaborate on parasitic tactics (Maria Lugones, de Certeau) to gather different ways of subversive practice, as well as give an overview on the genealogy of the para<\/em>site as a social figure and theoretical concept (Michelle Serres, Chantal Mouffe). In the presentation I will mainly focus to my personal artistic projects weaving them together with theory and will explore how artistic research can support a grounded critical artistic practice.<\/p>\n

PS: Persons interested in the workshop should also attend the lecture as preparation.<\/p>\n
