Conversations on Contemporary Art: Art as the Other of Culture (Bazon Brock & Heinz Bude)
Series of talks at the teaching and research station on Lutherplatz in Kassel.
Art that aims at the present inevitably has to do with the sometimes rather poisoned relations of art, politics, and society. Against this background, the talks explore the early entanglements of documenta, but they also pose the question of how contemporary art positions itself in today's world of global conflict. What can and should art do in the face of pandemic and war?
The series of talks "Conversations on Contemporary Art" is a cooperation between TRACES and the documenta Institut (03.05.2022 to 20.09.2022, Tuesdays, 6 to 8 pm).
About TRACES
The Transdisciplinary Research Center for Exhibition Studies (TRACES), founded in the fall of 2019, bundles existing research on documenta and exhibition studies across departments at the Kunsthochschule Kassel/Universität Kassel. It is thus a nationally and internationally unique institution for exhibition research.
