Freilager-Platz 1

Located in Basel at the Campus of the Arts – an urban and constantly developing neighbourhood of cultural institutions and key players in the creative industries – the FHNW Academy of Art and Design marks a vibrant place for discourse and dialogue, for experiment and critical reflection addressing socially relevant fields in art, design and media. To sense this very special spirit of the Campus of the Arts you can join it during Art Basel for a diverse programme of exhibitions and performances by upcoming artists and collectives, a programme of art, food culture, drinks, music and dance.

In the context of this year’s Art Basel, the symposium Poetry of the Real: Conversations on Arts Research presents a programme focused on negotiating the perspective of the new – intrinsic to an academy of art. The FHNW Academy of Art and Design sheds light on the development of new aesthetic practices and the emergence of a new generation of aesthetic thought and action.
Where: FHNW Academy of Art and Design, High-rise, Broadcast, 2nd Floor
Further information: campusderkuenste.ch

Poetry of the Real: Conversations on Arts Research reviews and negotiates under what conditions and in what way art and design can generate knowledge that is of relevance for society. Renowned speakers and representatives from the arts, anthropology, art history and cultural studies come together to critically reflect on the field of discourse relating to research in the arts. They include, among others, Corina Caduff (Literary critic, cultural scholar and author, Zurich), Francesco Erspamer (Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures, Harvard University), Susanna Hertrich (Multi-disciplinary artist working at the intersection of art, design and technology, Berlin and Basel ), Pierluigi Sacco (Professor of Cultural Economics and Head of International Relations at IULM University of Milan) and Bernd Scherer (Director Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin).

In addition to the main event on the Campus of the Arts, the Academy is organizing a public discussion on the topic in the context of the Art Basel Talks Program on Saturday June 18, 2016 from 1 pm to 2 pm.
Where: Art Basel, Auditorium, Hall 1 (Hall of the Unlimited sector), Messeplatz, 4005 Basel
