Tobias Dias
Tobias Dias is an intellectual and art historian, theorist, and cultural producer.
His research focuses on the historical avant-gardes, the neo-avant-gardes, contemporary art, and aesthetic theory from 1800 to the present. He is particularly interested in the "politics of knowledge" and art's relation to labor, value, science, and race. His work (singly- and co-authored) has been published in journals and magazines such as e-flux journal, Texte zur Kunst, kritische berichte, and New German Critique (forthcoming). He also co-edited the anti-capitalist handbook En anden økologi, published by Antipyrine in the Spring of 2025. His first monograph Elements of the Revolution: A Prehistory of Artistic Research is forthcoming from Minor Composition. Alongside his employment as a postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University (funded by New Carlsberg Foundation in a collaboration with the Museum Jorn), and editor of The Nordic Journal of Aesthetics, he is also a Lecturer at Jutland Art Academy and a member of the extradisciplinary collective Organ for the Autonomous Sciences. Last but not least, he runs the exhibition space Æsken in Aarhus, Denmark, with friends.
