I'm looking forward to taking part in 'What Methods Do', an international symposium dedicated to the nature and role of methods in artistic research, their capacity to produce knowledge and to inform the agency of art in a societal context. The symposium is organised by the Leiden University Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) following an initiative by the Route Kunst of the NWA (National Research Agenda) and curated by Gabriel Paiuk. After nearly half a year in Japan and China, I'm eager to be returning to Europe with many shows and events scheduled this spring / summer season.
