»target: autonopop« open mic.
Tobias Still, Rahel Puffert, und Michel Chevalier open a discussion round with various non-binding topics, — including the following:
"Who is the public for art? Who should the public for art be?"
"Where is art ? Where should art be?"
"Is ambivalence a quality when one experiences art?"
"Is the selected distribution channel (artist-run space, affordable multiples, internet, commercial gallery) a part of the content of the respective artwork?"
"What if artists were not economically dependent on sales of "works", but instead were paid intervention/exhibition fees?"
"Who/what prevails in the current art-market/institution synergy?"
"What would happen to art if class domination were ended?"
"True, false, or open to debate: 'Projects such as "Wir nennen es Hamburg" and "subvision" play their part in the spectacularization and depolitization of committed, grass-roots work in the art field, and thereby aid the efforts of some to undermine efforts at sustainable critical involvement.' (Cornelia Sollfrank, 1.09)"
"Culure policy = Culture Business?"
"What is a local artist?"
"Can contradictions be ordered into a hierarchy?"
This event was made possible thanks to support from the Behörde für Kultur, Sport und Medien in Hamburg
