working title: art space in the catastrophe
Lectures, interactions, confrontations on three Saturdays (10., 17., 24.06.23).
The environments surrounding us have unmistakably fallen into crisis-ridden, if not catastrophic, conditions. More precisely, they have been brought into crisis and catastrophic conditions by human activity. What role did and do art spaces play in this? And how do they function in these conditions, as places of confrontation and cultural production? With these questions, we are not interested in pragmatic solutions by means of which we can deal more effectively (more disciplined, more optimized, more meager) with the conditions that are very likely to become even more difficult, so that we can endure them a little longer, survive in them a little longer. Rather, we would like to deal with fundamental reorientations, other goals, other modes, perhaps even ways out.
On three Saturdays in June, we will try to approach these topics in the Kuntsverein by means of lectures, discussions, performances and films. The topics will include working and production conditions in the art field, administrative constraints and requirements, mutual care and attention, other forms of learning and producing, sustainability, our relationship to our environment and the planet, waste, possible futures, and much more.
