AHC x Supervising Artistic & Practice-based Research : Publishing for Urgency : Cally Spooner

Over the course of one week in August, AHC will – in collaboration with the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts,  Department of Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen and PASS (Centre for Practice-based Art Studies at Copenhagen University) – co-host an international symposium focused on the field of artistic research.

The final public event in relation to the PhD symposium will be the keynote lecture A Hypothesis of Resistance by Cally Spooner.

A Hypothesis of Resistance is a series of five essays on “performance” by artist Cally Spooner (b. 1983, UK). In each, Spooner holds and examines temporalities that defy and eclipse the standardizations which drive individual and societal bodies to perform toward an entirely metric-oriented future. Spooner is currently PhD research fellow at O—Overgaden, in association with the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Copenhagen (2021–24). Spooner’s series of essays A Hypothesis of Resistance—the last of which will focus on Duration as does her exhibition—has been workshopped collectively at O—Overgaden and is published by Mousse Magazine.

Spooner has recently presented shows at the Art Institute of Chicago; the Swiss Institute, New York; Castello di Rivoli, Turin; the New Museum, New York; and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
