Public Art Policies
Progressive Art Institutions in the Age of Dissolving Welfare States

26-28 February, 2004
Kunsthalle Exnergasse, WUK
A - 1090 Vienna, Währinger Straße 59

Progressive art institutions function both as buffers against the influence
of state and capital on critical art practices and as machines of a soft
instrumentalisation of resistance. In the neo-liberal transformation process
of the welfare state the institutions seem increasingly to be losing their
role of fostering radical art practices: along with the financial
constraints, the financing bodies exert an increasingly direct influence on
the programs. What are suitable strategies and alliances between artists,
art institutions and progressive cultural policies, which are able to
reinforce the little onsets of artistic critique in the age of dissolving
welfare states?

with Marius Babias, Beatrice von Bismarck, Helmut Draxler, Charles Esche,
Solvita Krese, Chantal Mouffe, Marita Muukkonen, Gregor Podnar, Gerald
Raunig, Jorge Ribalta, Dorothee Richter, Stella Rollig, Katya Sander, Simon
Sheikh, Ulf Wuggenig, et al.
