Screening & Conversation
November 6, 4pm

Student Bodies, 2020, 24:35 min

Ho Rui An is an artist, writer, and researcher who works at the intersections of contemporary art, cinema, performance and theory. Having established himself with a distinctive performance lecture style practice, he navigates between anecdotal storytelling, visual analysis, and critical theory. Besides teaching professionally, Rui An sees his practice as a form of public pedagogy and often conducts talks and workshops to reach out to the broader community. His works have been presented at many prominent biennales and festivals worldwide, including the Bangkok Art Biennale (2020) and Gwangju Biennale (2018), gaining attention for his discursively compelling performances, films, and installations.

This screening is part of the exhibition The Professor’s Body. On Academic Affect and Habitus with Leda Bourgogne and event program with Franzis Kabisch, Ho Rui An, Rahel Spoerer and Maximiliane Baumgartner from 23.10.2024 - 27.11.2024.
