Bold
Lecture by Maruša Sagadin
Paulusplatz 5, Seminarraum 2. Stock
1030 Wien2017 November 09 / 15:00Examining fields such as architecture, gender, language, and sculpture in her artistic practice, Maruša Sagadin creates deceptive art objects and installations. Methods of reference and exaggeration are crossed with the usage of elements from architecture, pop, and subculture. In ingenious ways, she manages to engage the viewer in the innuendos of her work that often also takes shape as a performative intervention.

Institutions as a way of life
Lecture by Bernhard Garnicnig
Paulusplatz 5, Seminarraum 2.Stock
1030 Wien2017 June 01 / 12:00Institutions are an ambiguous subject. Some despise them for abuse of power or dominance over free will and choice, others rely on them to save us from corporate harm or social demise. In the worlds of art I got to know, the relations between artists and institutions are just as varied. I’ve seen short affairs or serious engagements, refusal by principle and embrace of the moment. In the few hours we have together, let us talk about the relationships we want and don’t want, should and should not, can and cannot have with institutions, and how we can work with, for or around them to create the things we would like to live among.

The School of Kyiv
Lecture
Hedwig Saxenhuber & Georg SchöllhammerPaulusplatz 5, Seminarraum 2. Stock, 1030 Wien
2017 March 16 / 12:00Curating in a State of Crisis
Why hold a Biennial in Kyiv in times of a warfare (with Russia), economic crisis, social insecurity, amidst all the complicated geopolitical constellations Ukrainian citizens find themselves trapped in, a moment that seemingly has other priorities? How could or should, in the given context, art propose its own strategy deriving from its own logic? Shouldn’t art be, in this case, subjugated to the political struggle?
