The aim of the course is to expand the notion of space and to use imagination and fiction as a tool for exhibition making as well as discuss the web of connections and knowledge that informs contemporary exhibition making. Following this thread we will expand the discussion to cover the relations between bodies and virtual spaces, perception and physicality.

The second part of the course will take place at IAC, the White room will be an experimental laboratory, where the “imaginary” spaces are transformed, constructed and deconstructed in sessions led by dancer Liz Kinoshita and performance artist Jeremiah Day. Liz Kinoshita will talk about her work with Tino Segal and lead a series of physical exercises. Jeremiah Day will work with choreography and performativity in relation to the imaginary exhibitions that have been created in SketchUp.
