Tricks are a special form of knowledge not concerned with the way the world is but rather with how it may be overturned. Trick knowledge is local, situational, clandestine, virtuoso, omnipresent. Trick knowledge creeps into other discourses and sticks there. Tricks also produce hybrids between art and politics, creating transitions between activism and artistic practice. At the Casino of Tricks, where this workshop is taking place, all manner of tricks are traded, collected and shared: magic, economic, political, mundane and extraordinary. For centuries, disdain of tricks was common to rationalism and religion. Today, we affirm the critical potential of the trick. So how do critical analysis and trick expertise relate to each other today?
