Speaker: Anneke Kampman

Using my own artistic practice as a departure point, the talk will focus on how the performing body of an artist is produced and disseminated through the audio-visual form of the music-video. The talk will animate some of the ways in which contemporary digital capitalism subordinates 鈥榩ersonality鈥 to financial appraisal 鈥 rendering it 鈥榦perational鈥 in the words of Emily Rosamond 鈥 whilst providing a set of tangible artistic strategies through which such an appraisal might be reconfigured as 鈥渋mmanent critique鈥. I will show recent artworks where I make use of music-video鈥檚 contradictory status as artwork, advert and commodity through disjunctive uses of image, text and sound. The talk will stage a series of interventions into music-video鈥檚 modes of production, audio-visuality and structures-of-feeling.

All welcome - no registration required, just join us on the day. This event is not being live-streamed or recorded.

The Marxism in Culture seminar series was conceived in 2002 to provide a forum for those committed to the continuing relevance of Marxism for cultural analysis. Both 鈥楳arxism鈥 and 鈥榗ulture鈥 are conceived here in a broad sense. We understand Marxism as an ongoing self-critical tradition, and correspondingly the critique of Marxism's own history and premises is part of the agenda. 鈥楥ulture鈥 is intended to comprehend not only the traditional fine arts, but also aspects of popular culture such as film, popular music and fashion.聽

About the Speaker

Anneke Kampman

Lecturer in Popular Music at Goldsmiths, University of London

Anneke Kampman is an artist working at the intersections of writing, music, and the moving image. She completed a practice-led PhD at the Slade School of Fine Art in 2023. Operating through a range of theoretical, fictional, and artistic frames, her works draw from her experiences as a musician, alongside the methods and arguments of critical theory and institutional critique, re-staging the techniques of the cultural industries in an 鈥渋mmanent critique鈥 of pop. Key to this is an interest in the commodification, standardisation, and reproduction of the artistic 鈥榩ersonality鈥 (broadly understood). Recent work examines the politics and histories of popular music鈥檚 global circulation via visual media such as the music-video.
