The work of the German artist Andreas Wegner is based on a certain social involvement focused on issues of economic models and relationships, 

however, in his own art realizations he turns more to examining forms of representation, representation as such. This feature is apparent also in his very impressive photographs displayed in the Studio of Josef Sudek and referring to the Modern and modern photography, joining the strong stream of works concerned with the Modern and modernity in contemporary art.

Photographs showing strange geometrical objects of glass plates held together by sellotape bring us to the very core of the shown and photographed object and thus also to the core of photography. The artist turns our attention to basic questions of art in a similar way as his socially involved project do

Cabinet
Conceptualized by Zbyněk Baladrán, Vít Bohal, Dustin Breitling and Václav Janoščík, the conference brings together theorists, artists and organizers who collaborate and elaborate on their visions in order to discover junctures of overlap for thinking about the emancipatory potentials of the future.
In their own words, the text is, “the work of ANON. We are a collective of ‘Other.’ Some of us are sex workers, some immigrants, many of us queer. There are even a few privileged white cucks amongst us. Never the less, ANON is largely the work and brainchild of people of color (PoC). Our social disciplines are as varied as our identities: from journalists to dominatrixes. ANON are the intellectual cousins of #BlackLivesMatter divorced from liberalism.”
