About SFSIA

http://saasfeesummerinstituteofart.com/">Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art (SFSIA) is a nomadic, intensive summer academy with shifting programs in contemporary critical theory. SFSIA stresses an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the relationship between art and politics. The program runs two weeks and is structured with half-day seminars, deep readings, and workshops. In the evening SFSIA holds a lecture series, which is open to the public. It is an exciting, rigorous environment to learn in.

About SFSIA | Berlin

SFSIA | Berlin, titled http://saasfeesummerinstituteofart.com/program-faculty-berlin-2018/">Art and the Poetics of Praxis in Cognitive Capitalism, will engage with critical concerns of past programs —estrangement, individuation, and collectivity— in order to consider the performative power of poetry. Through deep readings, workshops, and lectures, we will strive to discover new words, meanings, and rhythms of resistance and reconstruction. In the tradition of Rimbaud, we seek a deregulation of language. Alternative vocabularies and models are necessary to understand and act upon our present predicament: cognitive capitalism, neo-colonialism, data surveillance. The hope is to create an experimental platform for debate and mutual self-education, with poetry and its production as a reference point for undertaking interdisciplinary, intersectional, epistemological adventures beyond our present cognitive confines and to construct a new concept of homo poeticus.
