Taipei Biennial 2014 workshop
Aesthetics Jam
Aesthetics Jam is a workshop programmed by Hongjohn Lin and Henk Slager for Taipei Biennial 2014. The workshop Aesthetic Jam intends to explore topical potentialities of an alternative and more strategic manner of signification of the artistic domain. Thus, aesthetics appears to be extremely compatible with what was once advocated by artistic research, i.e. the self-reflexive and self-critical capacities of artists engaging in processes of understanding and signification. A multitude of perspectives could be opened up - all attempting to avoid a disciplining will to knowledge. On the ground floor of the Taipei Fine Art Museum (gallery D) they organise a workshop that will continually be redesigned and discussed by the participating artists. The starting point is a so-called zero degree situation in which a number of works will be exhibited that according to the curators, offer a clear contribution to the debate on the position and situation of the concept of aesthetics.
