Dear friends and colleagues in Vienna,
together
with my colleagues from the Futurama.Lab, Sabrina Rosina and Rainer
Prohaska, I am giving a course at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in
which we will investigate the ZAD, bolo'bolo and other radical
ecological endeavors and their implication for ecological art practices.
The course is open to all and we will read and discuss some fine texts
together in a collective and enabling manner. This is not for students
only, but for finding a common politco-aesthetical-utopian ground which
is why I took the liberty to invite you all in this post.
So
if you want to study more intensely with us & see where I currently
see the most potential for novel ecological utopianisms, please join us
at the course "Sustainability - What's the point of art?". Find all the
details below and don't hesitate to ask more questions.
All the best,
Kilian
SUSTAINABILITY
- WHAT'S THE POINT OF ART?
A
worshop at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
Dear
fellow artists, friends, colleagues, activists, environmentalists ...
We
warmly invite you to this special lecture series hosted at the
Academy of Fine Arts. In
six sessions (three blocks of 2 modules) we will develop options and
strategies within art
projects as alternatives to a currently useless political and
systemic approach. We
demonstrate how to enable and possibly engage through artistic
endeavors within the
messiness of the now, how to nourish hope, humour and resilience and
of coursehow
to relate all this to current scientific developments in sustainable
solutions.
We
will investigate the cultural potential of the ZAD and bolo'bolo and
will speculate
about novel forms of radically ecological utopias and how to
culturally produce them in a sustainable way.
Come
along and journey with us through texts we will read and discuss
together during lectures -
from science-fiction to scientific papers and finally to practical
realisations.
This
course also serves as inspiration to further develop your own
project(s) to be realized within the practical course of the
following winter semester, forming a holistic workshop over the span
of the year.
