LODGERS #4 School of Missing Studies

Event

M HKA, Antwerpen

31 October 2015 - 17 January 2016

The LODGERS programme is a collaboration between AIR Antwerpen and M HKA . We welcome imaginative artistic initiatives to come and occupy the 6th floor at M HKA. The programme offers a unique opportunity for public interface, to organisations and initiatives who focus specifically on producing and commissioning, and who do not have their own public space. These LODGERS might be publishers, commissioning agencies, research initiatives, labels, collectives, discussion platforms and other initiatives experimenting with artistic practice who would be interested to live, work and perform in Antwerp.

LODGERS are welcomed from "Eurocore" – the combined region of Benelux and the Rheinland. Free entrance to visit our LODGERS. Come and say hello!

The LODGERS programme is co-curated by Nav Haq, Senior Curator at M HKA, and Alan Quireyns, Artistic Director at AIR Antwerpen.

In 2003, School of Missing Studies (SMS) launched an initiative by artists Bik Van der Pol (° 1959, Liesbeth Bik & °1961, Jos van der Pol) and architects Srdjan Janovics Weiss and Sabine von Fischer. SMS functions as a nomadic collaboration platform for experimental research into public environments in an abrupt transition. Following the observation that some research disciplines often fail to succeed in distinguishing between important knowledge about unusual or unknown situation, SMS invited participants to develop, discuss and share possible methods to obtain this information (which seems to flow freely in unbound areas and via open networks). SMS brings together practitioners from different backgrounds who seek to find the 'missing key' and are interested in the artistic practice as a tool for creative and production speculation.
