Referring to the concept of anarchitecture* the platform Un_University
discusses the following questions: How do academic knowledge transfer formats shape what is being taught? How can such formats
be reconsidered from the viewpoint of artistic practice? And which formats and approaches are being developed elsewhere, including
outside academic contexts?
The underscore in the platform’s title – Un_University – expresses a critical oscillation
between negation and affirmation. We want to use artistic means to reflect on teaching at (art) universities. We want to discuss
forms of un_university thinking, speaking, listening and reading, as well as inventing new ones. And we want to examine both
academic and non-academic contexts and institutions to see which current forms of critical knowledge production they facilitate
and/or prevent.
