Femke Herregraven
Collective Practice
15-02-2023 / 17.30-19.30 
Library Gerrit Rietveld Academie

In this seminar we will discuss the question of how collective an artistic practice is, and how much of the artistic process is a shared conversation with other makers both human and beyond-human. We will discuss a number of collaborative artistic practices which challenge the notion of authorship while simultaneously producing distinct artistic voices. We will also engage in a collective experiment together.
