Master TRANS– « Art As Social Action » - Workshop and Conference with Greg Sholette
On the occasion of the European launch of Art As Social Action. An Introduction to the Principles and Practices of Teaching Social Practice Art (Social Practice Queens, 2018), co-edited with Chloë Bass, Gregory Sholette presented his work during a conference which took place in the LIYH space during the Entrelacs exhibition on April 17, 2019. He also gave a three-days workshop to TRANS– master’s students.
Artist and theoretician based in New-York, Gregory Sholette is a founding member of Political Art Documentation/Distribution, which issued publications on politically engaged art in the 1980s; of REPOhistory, which repossessed suppressed histories in New York in the 1990s; and more recently, of Gulf Labor, a group of artists advocating for migrant workers constructing museums in Abu Dhabi. In dozens of essays, three edited volumes, and his own Dark Matter: Art and Politics in an Age of Enterprise Culture (Pluto Press, 2011), Sholette has documented four decades of activist art that, for its ephemerality, politics, and market resistance, might otherwise remain invisible.
