Conversations on Contemporary Art: Series on Luther Square

Art that aims at the present inevitably has to do with the sometimes rather poisoned relationships of art, politics, and society. Against this background, the series "Conversations on Contemporary Art" explores the early entanglements of documenta.

But the question is also posed as to how contemporary art positions itself in today's world of global conflict. What can and should art do in the face of pandemics and war? The series of talks on contemporary art is a cooperation between TRACES and the documenta Institute. The events take place on Tuesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Teaching and Exhibition Station on Lutherplatz.
