A transdisciplinary work of ambient institutional critique examining the art school building, the forms of governmentality that it creates, and consequently the types of practices it conditions. Combining a spatialized academic process with a scenography developed from the counter-surveillance of the building, it interrogates the physical framework for artistic practices, design processes, and the academic environment of the institution by connecting the physical structure of the building to conceptual attitudes and power structures that govern its subjects.

Victoria Gouzikovski is a transdisciplinary artist working with alternative formats, anti-disciplinary artistic research, and counter-hegemonic design focusing on the study and construction of heterotopias.
This practice uses critical spatial research to inform projects that take on both the symbolic and speculative aspects of works of art, and the utilitarian application of spatial design and architecture.
