Workshop | Exhibition Ecologies

Sep 08, 2025 - Sep 10, 2025

Organised by Friederike Schäfer, Research Area 2: "Travelling Matters" in cooperation with Mateo Chacón Pino (University of Kassel/documenta Institut).

Following two workshops and three public lectures (please find the links to the recordings below), the working group "Exhibition Ecologies" is meeting for a three-day internal workshop to consolidate their discussions on developing suitable methodologies and theories to address the intricate intersection of exhibitions and ecologies, focusing on aesthetics, epistemologies, infrastructures, and ideologies.

The workshop will also serve to advance plans for expanding the working group into an international research network of scholars dedicated to this topic.

As a first result, an edited volume on "Exhibition Ecologies" is forthcoming with De Gruyter in 2026.
