Professor Cecilia Grönbergs’s inaugural lecture

During Konstfack Research Week Cecilia Grönberg, our new Professor in Fine Art, will talk about her artistic practice and artistic research as experimentation, investigation, and extra-disciplinarity.

She will address questions of more material, visual forms of knowledge and publishing as a long-term artistic practice in her lecture "Investigative Practices & Material-specific Knowledges".

Cecilia Grönberg is an artist, author, editor and researcher based in Stockholm. Together with Jonas (J) Magnusson she runs OEI, a literary and artistic publishing project. Grönberg & Magnusson’s work on publishing as an artistic practice materializes in books, magazines and exhibitions, and often revolves around questions on archives, images, documents, montage, locality and experimental-material forms of historiography.

She also runs the artistic research projects “The Expanded Book” and “The Latent Image (Uncovering Developing)”. Grönberg & Magnusson’s books include: Leviatan från Göteborg (2002) Omkopplingar (2006); Witz-bomber och foto-sken (2009); Händelsehorisont || Event Horizon: distribuerad fotografi (2016); Bildaktivisterna.
