Lecture / Lecture Marge Monko
Studio sieraad and research platform Precious Dialogue cordially invite you to the lecture of Marge Monko on Tuesday 27 November at 19:00 (Sint-Jozefstraat 35, Antwerp).
Marge Monko explores artistically how media like photography, text and moving images are used as tools by public institutions or private companies in their ways of communication. She employs methods like documenting, staging and appropriating, linked to influences of psychoanalysis, feminism and theories of visual culture. In her latest work ‘Stones Against Diamonds, Diamonds Against Stones’ curated by Belgian art historian Evelien Bracke, Monko takes the approach of world-leading diamond company De Beers as a case study to explore the phenomenon of desire.
