Studia Generalia 2022: Tero Nauha
Tero Nauha’s lecture “Market and the assetization of art”
This lecture focuses on the economic narratives, which direct art education, research, and artistic practices. Nauha argues that these narratives are based on specific economic models and schemes that aim to value education, research, and practice according to pricing models of global market economy. This speculative turn signals that values are increasingly estimated according to the neoclassical equilibrium theory, for instance.
The presentation’s focus is on certain concepts and their narrative usage in fostering employability, assetization and investee condition for students, artists, and researchers. It presents some of the foundations of these narratives and schemes of thought, and asks if and how can we effectively challenge them.
The lecture will be held in English.
Place: Mylly K-218
