Antiknow

ANTIKNOW   a pedagogical theatre of unlearning and the limits of knowledge directed by Jakob Jakobson

FTHo  29 Nov 2013 - 12 Jan 2014

Jakob Jakobsen has undertaken a six month residency at FTHo. He has set up the Antiknow Research Group. Antiknow was the course that didn't happen at the Antiuniversity of London in 1968.

We are invited to consider antiknow as a found term to generate discussion and debate in a wide social context. Two buzz words we hear in the art context right now are 'knowledge production' and 'knowledge economy'. Capitalism is trying to exploit knowledge. Artists have been sucked into this immaterial production.

If we step aside from the formal knowledge ( the sort of learning we can get from text books and instiutionalized education) we may discover other forms of knowledge. This is the antiknow. It runs counter or 'anti' to standard knowledge.

and so in a darkened room with a white projector screen .....smoke fills the room .....it is formless ....there is an industrial hum and ticking.....

formless ....shapeless.... like water....
