WHAT IS INFRASTRUCTURAL CRITIQUE? – in Memoriam Marina Vishmidt
Conference
The conference What is Infrastructural Critique? – in memory of Marina Vishmidt will
feature artists, critical theorists and collaborators with Marina, who will come together to think through her concepts and
relate them to their own work and artistic practices. Themes of discussion will include: infrastructural critique and ecology,
infrastructural critique vs. institutional critique, art and political economy, art and logistics, the politics of abolition
in contemporary art, infrastructural critique and music and the relationship of infrastructure to race.
The discussion will take place over three days from the evening of 29 to 31 October 2025.
The event will begin with a talk on the forthcoming book Infrastructural Critique: Contemporary Art Between Reproduction
and Abolition, forthcoming with Verso in 2026.
