My fellowship at the Centro de Estudios of the Reina Sofia has been extremely rewarding. The major component has been a seminar on legal form and legal personhood, with an incredible group of participants (artists, activists, curators, scholars), some of whom have also presented their practice or project in one of the sessions. The third and last chapter is on May 11, 13 and 14, and it is still possible to apply here until April 30 at 14:00 CEST. It’s a hybrid seminar, so online attendance is possible.
In the context of the Reina fellowship, I am working towards Personafications, which will be the second volume of my loose series “Forms of Abstraction” (now with a different publisher). The focus of this volume is on juridical abstraction; the legal form. As part of this research strand, I recently wrote an essay titled “Legal Abstraction on Trial” for the volume Bildformen des Rechts in the series Bildwelten des Wissens, which will likewise be published in May. These days, it is a rare occasion for me to find a German context in which I can work, and write what I think needs to be written; many thanks to Tom Holert, Katja Müller-Helle and Claudia Blümble for making this possible.
