This is the first meeting of a new group who are interested in collective (de-)thinking and (de-)theorising about Utopias Bach.

In this first meeting Sarah Pogoda invites us to learn about what everyone hopes to get out of the UB Theory Group, how we want to facilitate our collective (de-)thinking and (de-)theorising, and if there are specific needs that we want to accommodate. She also would like to invite everybody to suggest readings for the group, and we will decide on how we decide on readings.

Sarah has shared a 10-page long text by Grant Kester about conversational art. email Utopias Bach if you’d like a copy!

She says “Kester is an US-american art historian I have been reading for a while. He often instigates thoughts in me (is this phrase that works in English? - it works well in German) while thinking in a very different socio-cultural context to ours. And he has been critized quite a bit Maybe this is what makes it interesting?

It is a text with lots of examples, and not „pure“ theory. This is why I liked reading it.”
