Scholarship: KNIR Scholarship for preparing a postdoctoral project

Title research: Air Force: An Art History of a Future Material (1960s to now).
This project aims to explore the force of air in artistic practices from the 1960s onwards. It wants to scrutinise what air, as a mediator in art projects, affords, enables, affects or not, for good or for ill. Moreover, it pursues to map what can be learned from airy art practices when it comes to urgent challenges and issues (like the climate crisis) and what this forceful material can bring for the future.
