This is the blog / recent activities of Kilian Jörg, a philosopher and artist mainly working on the ecological catastrophe and how we can culturally work with it. Find more on my homepage www.kilianj.org
This Thursday, Michael Hirsch an me will invite for a talk and discussion with the title "Cultural Workers Unite!" at Kunsthalle Lothringer13 in Munich. In it, we will present our ongoing reflections on the invention of utopian horizons for the art world (which could then radiate into other social fields). To overcome cynical submission to existing norms of sense- and value-production, we believe it is necessary to propose new narrative practices and new utopian ideas to live the good life. We will present two concrete proposals (one of which has already been published here) and will give a general framework on how to approach living the good life (even under terrible existing conditions) by way of alternative narrations of our sensory- as well as symbolic regimes.

The talk will take place within the exhibition "Ne travaillez assez, ne comptez jamais" which presents selected artistic positions on the relation of money and artistic practices.

For those of you interested in what I am researching on for already six years and what will - hopefully - be released under the title "Affirmation of Ecological Reason" in a couple of years, there is a chance to see me presenting a chapter from this project at the Berliner Nietzsche Colloquium (BLC) next Wednesday. Under the title "Nietzsche & ökologische Vernunft - Nietzsche nutzen im Anthropozän" I will present how we can use Nietzsche productively in eco-sophical discourses around the Anthropocene. The presentation will be held in German and you are all cordially invited!
