Seminar : Out-of-focus

A seminar organized by Anton Cotteleer with the collaboration of Steven Humblet

The issue of the blurred and the memory in relation to photography and sculpture has a central place on this interdisciplinary learning moment. Speakers from different disciplines will reflect on the different layers of that relationship, from conceptual theoretical to curatorial and artistic. Guest speakers, together with PhD students, will discuss the effects and various meanings of the blur within the photographic and the sculptural image.
