Going to the Limits of Your Longing: Learning from M

Learning from M is the first episode of the new series Going to the Limits of Your Longing, Research as Another Name for Care. It features Yvonne Volkart, author, curator and head of research at the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK FHNW, and artist and cultural producer Peter Spillmann in memory of the artist, curator, researcher, writer, and teacher Marion von Osten. Von Osten’s curatorial, theoretical, and altogether empathic approaches to the medium of exhibition-making revolved around artistic research devoted to the collective. In Learning from M, Yvonne Volkart and Peter Spillmann take the opportunity to remember Marion von Osten and talk about her work and through it refer to the idea of learning as our directive in the Neoliberalism, that we constantly have to learn, never stop doing something. On the other hand, learning also means knowledge transfer and other ways of participating and engaging for which Marion von Osten stands as a person as well as with her body of work.
