Taking the form of a reader, this publication is both a playground and a radical syllabus. It presents artistic and theoretical practices that focus on experimental educational practices and the critical examination of knowledge production in the field of art. Among others, it contains a speculative essay by Nora Sternfeld on the role of museums from the year 2030; a mediation on composer and mathematician Catherine Christer Hennix; one episode from Nicole Hewitt’s project This Woman Is Called Jasna, a speculative history in nine instalments covering 20 years in the life of a woman from Vukovar who works at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague; an essay on the history of the container – the synecdoche of logistics – as part of a global system of capital by Charmaine Chua; research about sinkholes that have rapidly started appearing in the past decades on the shores of the Dead Sea by Sasha Litvintseva and Daniel Mann; and Aisteach, an imaginary archive of the Irish avant-garde curated by renowned sound artist Jennifer Walshe.
