This working group develops artistic research activities and new forms of exchange outside of the seminar room. We focus on addressing the multiplicity of spaces and the ecology of spatial practices that these suggest. We approach space through a variety of physical, conceptual, imaginary, discursive, ephemeral (etc.) phenomena, each of which entails specificities, but which are also potentially tangentially related to each other. We develop methods of imparting the ways in which different spaces structure and format the taking place of things, gestures and events.
