Workshop: Meme-thinking and meme-making with Cem A

Thursday, 6 Јune 19:30 – 21:30  & Friday, 7 Јune 17:30 – 19:30, MoCA Library 

The first half of the workshop is called “Meme-thinking.” In this part, we will discuss theories ranging from media and cultural studies to art history, illustrating how memes can be contextualized within this framework. In the second half (titled “Meme-making”), we will go through the step-by-step process of making memes and start creating memes together in a collaborative format.
 
Cem A. is an artist with a background in anthropology. He is known for running the art meme page @freeze_magazine and for his performances and site-specific installations. His work explores topics such as survival and alienation in the art world, often through a hyper- reflexive lens and collaborative projects.

Cem A.’s selected solo exhibitions and installations include Louisiana Museum, Barbican Centre, Berlinische Galerie, and Museum Wiesbaden. His work was also included in documenta fifteen, Istanbul Modern, Mudam Luxembourg, Klima Biennale Vienna and 14. Biennial of Young Artists Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje.
