About art as a knowledge discipline
Following a research trajectory about art practices with a connection to social contexts, some questions became the subject of discussion at various moments with different persons. This conversation with Dr. Alana Jelinek is one of those sustained in the last years around the topic of knowledge in art, how to understand it, who has is it, and why it should be artists’ interest to recognize what we do in disciplinary terms.
The intention of publishing it as a podcast is to acknowledge the immediacy of a fluid dialogue that makes ideas intersect and reach out to more elaborate arguments. Hopefully, the questions and responses captured here animate reflections between artists when they talk about what their work is or does.
