EXTENSIONS VOL. 1: ONLINE TALK

EVENT INVITE

On the occasion of the online group exhibition Extensions vol. 1 Radar Contemporary is proud to present a talk with two of the participating artists Kristoffer Ørum and Helene Nymann. Based on their work, they will discuss what happens when our lives and art get extended into the digital field. What impact does it have on our identities and memories? And how can artworks intervene in the processes of how we perform ourselves with digital media? As both Ørum and Nymann also work as artistic researchers, they will furthermore discuss the benefits of colliding academia with aesthetic practices when approaching the implications of new technology on our lives.

 

Art historian Ida Schyum will moderate the talk.

 

We meet at Zoom at 6 pm - 7 pm 14th of May 2020. The event will be in English and is open and free for everyone, but a reservation is needed. To sign up, please write to info@radarartagency.com
