Woodstock of Political Thinking
Haus der Kunst The fall of the Berlin Wall, "Black Friday," or the Futuristic Manifest: anniversaries of important political events automatically result in a profusion of publications, symposiums, and (artistic) events that place the events in a historic perspective. However, at the same time these discussions about the events also reveal that for the most part political debates have disappeared from the public forum and moved to blogs and Non-Governmental Organizations, or perhaps to the feature section of newspapers. This is where the WOODSTOCK OF POLITICAL THINKING comes in – this "discussion happening" wants to bring political debates back to the public forum, and wants to inquire about the specific role of performance in contemporary political discussion. Numerous local, national, and international guests from the art world, science fields, and arts and culture departments have been invited. The structure is open: whether manifest, lecture/performance, film, slide or music presentation, open workshop, or action art – everything is possible and everything is welcome. The goal is that the guests will use the freedom of the event's structure to consciously to step away from standardized formats of thinking, lecturing, and presenting, and invent more experimental forms of action and interaction. |
