'The body has increasingly become a project you can work on.'
Dr. Willemijn Ruberg talks about her book ‘History of the body’

Lichaam en (on)Macht was dit schooljaar ons thema, dat we samen met studenten, kunstenaars en denkers bespraken. Over hoe we fysieke autonomie, macht(loosheid), (on)rechtvaardigheid, zorg en collectiviteit ervaren. In deze laatste nieuwsbrief van het jaar sturen we je een aantal hoogtepunten. Lieve makers, geïnterviewden en deelnemers, dank voor jullie verhalen!
Body and Power(lessness) was our theme this school year, which we discussed with students, artists and theorists. About how we experience physical autonomy, power(lessness), (in)justice, care and collectivity. In this last newsletter of the year we collected some highlights. Dear artists, interviewees and participants, thank you for your stories!

Body and Power(lessness) | Introduction
|

Olivia Laing & Willemijn Ruberg
|
|
|
Two books accompanied our theme this year. Everybody by writer Olivia Laing. We published the first essay from her book and later engaged in a personal conversation with her. The second book that gave depth to our theme is History of the body by Dr. Willemijn Ruberg. Our video team captured a fascinating conversation with her.

Francine Oomen & Maurits de Bruijn
|
|
Een hoogtepunt in ons jaar was het online gesprek met schrijvers Francine Oomen en Maurits de Bruijn. Uit de grote belangstelling voor dit event en de vele reacties achteraf blijkt hoe dit thema voor velen relevant en prangend is. Je kunt het gesprek terugkijken en een begeleidend essay lezen.

velvet leigh, Jules Sturm & Chet Bugter
|
|
|
Together with platform for contemporary art P–OST we organized an evening with writer and performer velvet leigh (ArtEZ DAI Art Praxis), and theorist and educator Jules Sturm (Zurich University of the Arts). It was an evening of performance and conversation, addressing themes of vulnerability, body, temporality and the chronic. And besides that, we talked with Chet Bugter (ArtEZ teacher Critical Fashion Practices) in a video interview about the question ‘How can you use your body as a research tool in fashion?’

Maxim Februari & Coralie Vogelaar
|
|
Over het raakpunt tussen mens en techniek gingen we in gesprek met kunstenaar en ArtEZ docent Design Research Coralie Vogelaar en schrijver, jurist en filosoof Maxim Februari. Neemt technologie langzaam de macht over ons lichaam over? En hoe wordt er vanuit de kunst gekeken naar de relatie tussen technologie, data en de bewegingsvrijheid van het lichaam?
