In contemporary artistic, media and philosophical discourses the notion of ‘event’ has gained considerable currency. Since the 1990s the event has been central to a range of performative, media-based, socially and politically engaged artists’ work, as well as in artists’ involvement in\/with non-artistic projects and practices ranging from political protest to scientific research. The growth of interest towards the potentials of art openly working with reception and\/or participation as its methods has also lead to institutional commissions for this type of artistic work. For the institutions event-based art has triggered entirely new questions about the documentation and preservation of artistic practices.<\/p>\n
While the concept of the ‘event’ has been extensively discussed in some fields \u2013 for instance in theatre studies, urban studies and especially in philosophy – in recent art history and cultural theory, there are still few attempts of theorization.<\/p>\n
This symposium sets out to articulate the meaning of the ‘event’ in relation to artistic, media-based and performative cultural practices. In presentations the range of the ‘event’ will be articulated, like the performative, conceptual, media-based, game-based, relational, participatory and other practices that can be approached as events. There will also be elaborations on the methodological issues of studying events.<\/p>\n
