I denne performative samtale vil Lindsay Seers tage Anne Haaning med på en rejse af associeringer. Samtalen vil udfolde sig ud fra ideer om tilfældige møder som en måde at orkestrere dannelsen af et kunstværk på.
Gennem personlige og specifikke associationer vil Seers og Haaning forsøge at afdække de frø, der forankrer deres individuelle praksis, og hvordan de informerer fortællingerne om deres værker.
Måske som en strategi, der er nyttig for at slippe ud af en alt for velkendt metodes komfort. Eller som en øvelse til at modvirke tvangstanken om at forstå det uforståelige. Eller måske for at komme tættere på det bevidsthedsniveau, som vores kunstneriske beslutninger træffes på.
Samtalen er en del af Det Jyske Kunstakademis serie af samtaler mellem akademiets undervisere og inviterede gæster.
Denne gang har professor Anne Haaning inviteret den britiske kunstner Lindsay Seers til en samtale omkring det ubevidste som generativt arbejdsredskab.
