- Description
Artistic concepts of "relaxed performance" and "aesthetics of accessibility" respond to a barely containable momentum of a thoroughly economized art industry that threatens to drive its institutions and the people working in them to their limits. A relentless compulsion to represent seems to have seized control, which calls for the blocking, braking and striking of attention economies. What formats can be created here, what strategies are permitted?
Based on a large number of texts that will be worked on in a specially developed 'slow methodology', the seminar asks about the horizon of a decelerated art production that will have placed an axiomatic equality of its actors at the beginning of a practice that never begins. In this way, not least the hubris of traditional artistic 'avant-gardes' is placed on the sidelines of long-gone competitive structures.- Literature
