During the three year period of the project, a number of semi-public workshops will be organized. A limited number of people take part in each workshop: the members of the 'core group,' a changing number of guest speakers and specialists as well as a number of doctoral and masters students (Art History, Architecture and the Arts).

The practical organization of the workshops is handled by the Lieven Gevaert Research Centre for Photography and Visual Studies at the KULeuven.

Workshop 5: Philippe Van Snick and International Conceptual Art

(With guests: TJ Demos, Eric de Bruyn and more to be confirmed)

The workshop will focus on a selection of Van Snick's photo's, films, notebooks, drawings, calculations and other early works of the 1970s. The principal stake of the discussion is the position this body of work now occupies in relation to Conceptual Art of the early 1970s and how it can make a belated entry into the art historical canon of that particular moment in time.
