KÜNSTLER IN DER KUNSTGESELLSCHAFT - ARTIST IN THE ART SOCIETY

Artists are considered to be the seismographs of their society. Sensitivity is attributed to them, particularly in the face of detecting change, future issues or sociological problems. At the same time the artist is constantly exposed to new requirements. 

Artist in the Art Society presents works by artists from both the former socialist countries and the West. Both groups now operate in a global art world, each with different expectations and dreams as a direct result of their backgrounds and values.

The exhibition explores the period between the mid 1990’s and today. As the newer generation of artist will experience fewer differences between the East and West, it is likely that the artistic differences highlighted by this exhibition will in turn decrease.

KÜNSTLER IN DER KUNSTGESELLSCHAFT - ARTIST IN THE ART SOCIETY
Symposium wants to reflect the current cultural and political situation characterized by the rise of nationalistic politics, populism, Euro-scepticism and anti-immigration attitudes in Central Europe from the perspective of contemporary art and theory. This tendency can be observed not just locally but in the whole of Europe. We will foster an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas discussed in a group of art historians, sociologists, philosophers, and art theoreticians.
