Edifying is a series of performative lectures organized by Beatrice Gross.
In the lineage of Robert Morris’s 1964 performance entitled 21.3 where the artist lip-synched a film of art historian Erwin Panofsky’s 1939 lecture, this series presents a selection of contemporary performance-lectures concerned with the dramatization of knowledge and its dissemination.
So far, Edifying has featured performative works by Ellie Ga, Pablo Helguera, Christine Rebet, and collaborative Slavs and Tatars.

Cobraclass is a multi-part program that considers aesthetic principles and philosophies relating to deskilling, repetition, excess, mimicry, censured gestures, fragmentation and ritual. The main goal of this open structure is to nourish the terrain for an event. The project will involve group work with clay, actions and films, bringing together a series of seemingly un-related concepts and ideas. The duration of the bulk of the event itself can be undetermined like a Lacanian session. It could result in a series of sculptures and a film. How the end result could be made public should be discussed by the participants before and after the end of the interactive session.
Organized by Sarina Basta, Simone Leigh, and Karin Schneider.
