The Middleman part II: Dead Authors and Flexible Personalities /

Date: May 18-20, 2007
Place: KÉK - Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre - Budapest, VII. Nefelejcs u.26.
Application deadline with motivational letter to the office@tranzitinfo.hu address is May 13, 2007.
The topic of the seminar is mediation and the agency of the intermediary in the context of advanced global capitalism. We have previously been writing about the representation of the curator in contemporary discourse, in the light of the historian Fernand Braudel’s assertion that the capitalist market as we know it was instituted when middlemen started to control access to the marketplace. That, perhaps, is why the middleman throughout modernity has been viewed with suspicion (to the Marxist, for example, production has always been preferred to mediation).
