Lecture Performance: Water in Art History

In collaboration with XX Art Flanerie and Oona Zyman, Contemporary Matters held a lecture performance on the representation of liquidity in art history on July, 4th 2021.

Staying true to the festival’s topic of fluidity we decided to work in a fluid format, relying on streams of consciousness and free associations as methods for collective knowledge generation. The lecture performance was the result of a shared writing process discussing various art historical perspectives, theories and questions regarding the iconographic meanings, ideological paradigms and local reference points of water in art and cultural history.
