In many ways, the relationship between music, rock and contemporary art has been one which answers the notion of the fluidity of connections between the two media, and an ability for one to sample the other.
The main topic of  the labos, performances and talks will be based on this convergence which often was nurtured by art schools that supported and promoted an active creative exchange between these two fields.

Discussions, workshops (“labos”), panel talks, and lectures will mainly be in English.
