Taking the current exhibition
Thinking Through Weibel and
the Weibel Archive as an opening path, this evening explores art as a learning system: how exhibitions and collections structure
cultural memory, how digitization can widen (and bias) access, and how exhibition-making can produce embodied, situated knowledge
that differs from conventional academic formats.
Looking at Peter Weibel himself – artist, theorist, institution-builder
– and drawing on his extensive, partly digital archive, the evening considers how large-scale collections can be made meaningfully
accessible: through digitization and metadata practices, open interfaces and display strategies, as well as curatorial and
pedagogical frameworks that invite plural forms of learning. The program begins with a guided tour of the exhibition, continues
with a keynote on ‘What is Contemporary Art History?’ and culminates in a roundtable that considers exhibitions and archives
as shared infrastructures of learning. Rather than closing a legacy, we open questions and methods – testing how playful,
critical, and inclusive practices can shape what and how we learn together.
