About Grounded Conversations: In Medias Res
An extension of NUS Museum's Grounded Conversations series, Grounded Conversations: In Medias Res aims to facilitate a thinking around the question of media and the extra-medial from the perspective of artists and their practices.
Presenting a series of distinct projects on how art practitioners have begun to adopt comprehensive paradigms in their fieldwork methods traditionally associated with anthropological and historical research, Grounded Conversations brings together practitioners from the contemporary art work to unravel this 'anthropological turn'.
