The workshop will begin by looking at the work of philosophers such as Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault, departing from their groundbreaking thinking to follow more current work on idenficitcation from Judith Butler and Sara Ahmed. Ahmed’s idea about direction as queer phenomenology will provide a basis for examining shame, how the body’s sense perception changes according to context and expectation.
Olivia Dunbar (b. 1988, Vancouver) graduated with an MFA from the Piet Zwart Institute and is currently based in Amsterdam where she is a resident at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. Her interest in language and identity provides the basis for works that move through different media, appearing as texts, sculptures, videos, performances and installations in order to produce dispositions and affective realities. Recent presentations include picture that yr on a cliff (but it’s in a dream) at Buenos Tiempos International, and RijksOpen 2014 at the Rijksakademie.
