Inhalte	Performing the Subject and the ecosophy of Performance We will focus on the topic of performing the subject. We will read parts of Amelia Jones' ´Performing the Subject` and we will see and discuss how this notion is manifested in the works of artists such as Valie Export, Coco Fusco and Anna Medieta; as well as in our own works. In his book "Three Ecologies", the philosopher Felix Guattari proposes strategies of social and individual ruptures through dissensus, dissidence, resingularisaton, break up and multiplicity that he calls ecosophy. Can we see performance as a medium of altering and proposing forming subjectivities and other worlds within the repetitive, formed, systemic and numeric moments of our time? As as long the members of the group are empowered, inspired and motivated, they will be encouraged to perform in public, outside of the school´s walls and to discuss about their work with each other. The study group is held in English. Georgia Sagri lives and works in Athens and New York. She studied music and she holds a diploma in cello, a BA from Athens School of Fine Arts, Athens, and an MFA from Columbia University, New York. Her multidisciplinary practice is centered on her ongoing exploration of performance as an ever-evolving medium within social and visual life. Her practice has been influenced on her engagement on issues of autonomy, empowerment and self-organization. She was a participant artist of d14 with the piece titled Dynamis that progressed with a series of workshops of 200 people and concluded with a presentation of 28 sculptures, ten breathing scores and 15 participants on a performance piece of six days that took place simultaneously and in continuum both in Athens and Kassel. In 2011 she was one of the main co-organizers the of general assembly and the Occupy Wall Street movement in NY. She is the founder of the audio-only magazine FORTÉ (magazineforte.com) and SALOON, an ongoing curatorial project. In 2014 she initiated Ύλη[matter]HYLE (hyle.gr) a semipublic space in Athens.
