DRAWING INSTRUMENTS
Or: how to calibrate an artist?

Symposium - Maastricht - March 16 & 17, 2017

Organized by the Research Centre for Arts, Autonomy and Public Sphere/
Lectoraat AOK in collaboration with Dear Hunter’s Institute of Calibration

How is an artist-as-instrument made sensitive? What kinds of embodied, aesthetic,
intimate, sensory ways of knowing are developed? How does the artist-as-instrument
become attuned or calibrated? What does it probe and find out? How can we know
whether it is working well? What kind of standards emerge along the way?

The symposium marks the closing of the Research Centre AOK’s research studio
Drawing Instruments, initiated by the Institute of Calibration and led by Dear Hunter.
It will be a hands-on working session in which thinking-through-making is central.
The symposium closes on Friday 17 March with a lecture by Lorraine Daston, who
will speak on Epistemic Images. This lecture is co-hosted by the Master of Scientific
Illustration, Zuyd / AEIMS conference and is also part of The Loop.
