LOADS: a keynote encounter with Liz Rosenfeld <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you fail the w(h)ole the will may fail. But what does this look like? What does this mean to let down the undivided, a majority, the complete…. the\/my\/ yours\/ theirs\/ our w(h)ole? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hormones. Sugar. Cum. Sweat. Piss. Ozempic. Blueberries. Unknown Materials. Dissociation\/ Extreme Performance. The Myth of Transdisciplinary Practices. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just a lot of LOADS. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n An initial inclination is to always burn it down, often a privilege no less.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this keynote encounter, between text, image and flesh, Liz Rosenfeld addresses the question: What does it mean to build a body? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Liz Rosenfeld is a Berlin\/ London based interdisciplinary artist and educator who works with performance, moving images, drawing and experimental writing practices. Liz addresses the sustainability of emotional and political ecologies, cruising methodologies, past and future histories in regards to the ways in which memory is queered. Liz’s work deals with flesh as a non-binary collaborative material, specifically focusing on the potentiality of physical abundance and excess, edging questions regarding the responsibility and privilege of taking up space. Embracing an auto-theoretical style, Liz’s writing is rooted in questions that contend with how queer ontologies are grounded in variant hypocritical desire(s.) Liz’s inaugural book, “Crossings: Creative Ecologies of Cruising,” co-authored with Professor Jo\u00e3o Flor\u00eancio, was recently released in April by Rutgers University Press. Liz has shown work in international museums and venues including The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, The Forum Expanded Program of the 2022 Berlinale, Anti-festval, B\u00e4renzwinger Berlin, Mousonturm, Tanzhaus nrw, Kampnagel, 2019 Bergen Assembly, Berlinischer Galerie, Mapa Teatro, Sophiens\u00e6le, The Hebbel am Ufer Theatre, The Gorki Theater, Arts Admin, Galerie Emanuel Layr, The Tate Modern, The Hammer Museum, The Leslie Lohman Museum, The Barbican Centre, The CAC- Glasgow, Tramway, The Stedelijk Museum, The C\/O Gallery, and The Deutsches Historisches Museum. Liz\u2019s short films are represented by Video Data Bank and LUX Moving Image. Liz received an MFA in Performance from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2005, followed by an MA from the Department of Performance Studies at New York University in 2007. Liz is slated to commence their PhD research at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Trans* Research Association of Ireland is delighted to announce Liz Rosenfeld, a Berlin\/ London based interdisciplinary artist and educator as our […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":780,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[30,11,27],"class_list":["post-778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-events","tag-keynote","tag-network-events","tag-trai-symposium"],"yoast_head":"\n
