Open Discourse Lab 1
On contemporary positions in fine arts

Depot, 1070 Vienna, 3, Breite Gasse
Tuesday, 06-10-15, 7 PM

The first lab sparks the discourse of contemporary roles of so-called fine arts. After decades of conceptualization and, associated therewith, claims of processualization of fine art production through to aspirations for self-organizing logical processes, questions regarding contemporary options for artistic interventions in societal processes arise.

Speakers:
Olivia Kaiser, painter
Margit Nobis, fine artist
Alexandra Reill, concept and video artist

Moderation:
Christian Stefaner-Schmid, concept artist and media theorist
