Frame’s new programme Rehearsing Hospitalities opens with a day-long discursive event Epistemic Hospitality held on the 13th of March in Helsinki. The event is organized in collaboration with Bioart Society, Instituto Iberoamericano de Finlandia, Embassy of the Federal Republic Germany Helsinki and Goethe-Institut Finnland.
Epistemic Hospitality brings art practitioners together to ponder how artistic, curatorial and institutional practices can foster and host versatile knowledge and ways of knowing.
One of the key points of the event is questioning what or who plays a decisive role in determining which forms of knowledge are considered valid? How can feminist curatorial practice, new artistic paradigms and the decolonization of Western art histories foster diverse knowledges and ways of knowing? How can these practices bricolage, engage and work with knowledge situated within a wide range of human and non-human transcultures?
The discussions and exchanges are built around a series of talks and dialogues, as well as the working process of Pia Lindman, Bioart Society’s current exhibiting artist and artist in residence. Participants of the event are artist Razan Abou Askar, philosopher Rick Dolphijn, curator Giovanna Esposito Yussif, researcher Eeva-Kristiina Harlin, curator and researcher Maria Iñigo Clavo, artist Kristiina Koskentola, artist Pia Lindman, artist Anni Puolakka, artist and researcher Sepideh Rahaa, art historian and curator Regine Rapp, curator Elina Suoyrjö, curator Jennifer Teets, curator and director Jochen Volz.
