Space & Place
Space & Place is an Intellectual Collective of the Institute for Global Studies at the University of Minnesota, convened by Sonja Kuftinec (Theatre Arts and Dance), Jani Scandura (English), Karen Till (Geography), and Margaret Werry (Theatre Arts and Dance).
On Friday, April 18, 2008, Space & Place presents an all day symposium on "The Architecture of Emptiness."
Space & Place is a translocal intellectual and creative collaborative, founded in 1999 and based at University of Minnesota's College of Liberal Arts. Our experimental forum bridges the methods, concerns, theories and practices of the Humanities, Fine and Performing Arts, and Social Sciences through a focus on space and place. We understand space and place as broad and mobile concepts that are not easily fixed or fixable within existing disciplinary, artistic, geographic and temporal boundaries. Our creative and intellectual explorations of these concepts move between and across institutional frames to redefine the practices, performances and representations of interdisciplinarity. Our forum is therefore multi-modal and process-driven, shaped by an international membership and grounded in feminist politics and practices.
