OCT 28, 2016
'Dirt, Punk, Trash' is a workshop where art/cultural theoreticians and practitioners theorize the notions -- which are now often employed interchangeably -- in two ways. They discuss concrete punk-, dirt- and trash-focused cultural practices and objects; and they map and unravel conceptual interrelations between the notions.

In (audio-)visual arts and writing, dirt, punk, and trash have long been aestheticized and lauded -- but in recent decades, artists and cultural analysts have harbored a particularly insistent interest in 'dirty art' (cf. Sandberg's Dirty Art Department), 'dirt[y] media' (Kelly), 'dirty words' (Gluklya), 'politics of trash' and 'politics of punk' (Whiteley; Ensminger), 'trash culture' (LaGuardia), and in the overall rhetoric 'of waste, dirt, and shit' that dominate some local and historical punk traditions (Gololobov & Steinholt).
Speakers are dirt/punk/trash experts Gluklya (Factory of Found Clothes, St. Petersburg / A'dam), Caleb Kelly (University of New South Wales), Natalia Samutina (Higher School of Economics, Moscow), Yngvar Steinholt (Tromso University). The workshop is introduced and moderated by the members of the VIDI Sublime Imperfections team Fabienne Rachmadiev, Jakko Kemper, and Ellen Rutten (all UvA).
