Oliver Ressler: Artist talk
Nikola Brabcová, Michal Klodner, Hana Janečková
We know and repeatedly analyze a host of issues with commercial social media and digital labour, but little attention is paid to efforts at building alternatives, such as community-run social media and other forms of de-platformization.
Against the totality of networks and corporately owned social media, what are workable strategies and ethical approaches that allow for alternative ways for our social life to emerge?

In the lecture, I would like to address the issue of the labour of the artist from the perspective of the feminist artistic work and discuss, how already from the end of the 1970s feminists artists engaged with the issues of the flexible and precarious work, the issues that are also so pertinent in the labour of the artist today. From the perspective of those artists, the exploration of labour opened new dimension how to understand and reflect upon labour of female artist and her emancipated life.

We can loosely understand the term intermezzo as a planned activity or pause deliberately "inserted" into life or work and associated, for example, with the need for rest, the necessity of transformation, a change of direction, and an escape from the rut of everyday life, everyday life, overcoming feelings of unfulfillment, the desire to help, move forward in life, or get involved in something new.
