Art IN Academia
Film Screening
CEU Library’s Mirabaud Media Lab
Visual Studies Platform, CEU
The relationship between art and research can take different shapes and meanings. Recent decades have seen an increase in artists engaging in traditional academic research settings, such as laboratories, collaborating with scientists, philosophers, engineers, and the like. The different interactions between art and academia seem to offer new perspectives to known and complex issues across different fields, allowing artists and researchers to blur the lines between artistic practice and academic research.
Art IN Academia explores a range of possible ways in which academic endeavors can inform, inspire or become complemented by the art created by scholars and researchers within institutional academic walls. Art IN Academia consists of the group exhibition at Galeria Centralis, The Vera & Donald Blinken Open Society Archives and the conference organized by the Department of Philosophy and Center for Arts and Culture, Central European University, in cooperation with Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Doctoral School and Visual Studies Platform, CEU.
