Unlearning
Routines of the Impossible continues Krauss’ exploration of unlearning practices within (and beyond) art institutions. Unlearning
Routines of the Impossible responds to the question: “What are the struggles, entanglements, and joys of practicing unlearning
in predominantly Western contexts?” The book revisits Krauss’s (co-)initiated artistic research projects Sites for Unlearning—a
series of experimental gatherings aimed at collaboratively unlearning dominant ways of thinking and doing, as well as confronting
the affective production of impossibilities within institutions in order to intervene in social injustices. These inquiries
are accompanied, framed, and challenged by invited essays, collective conversations, and scenes on what unlearning might do
and be. Together, they form a support structure—a scaffolding for living—for practicing unlearning.
