Synopsis

How do discourse and discursivity figure in the contemporary milieu, and why do they matter for the arts today? This presentation traces some of the ways that discourse participates in and manifests as artistic production, and introduces the work of the Opens, a Singapore-based para-academic forum fostering transdisciplinary exchanges and discursive experimentation in and through the arts.
