Wochenklausur – Art and Sociopolitical Intervention [Method]

, , delicious – July 22, 2009 § 0

prerequisite for every intervention is the invitation of an art institution, which provides an infrastructural framework and cultural capital | exhibition space itself serves as a studio from which the intervention is conducted | projects are collective efforts that take place in the concentrated atmosphere of a closed-session working situation | strictly limited timeframe – usually eight weeks – gives rise to an unusual concentration of the six participants’ energies, allowing the planned interventions to be realized very quickly | issue to be addressed is usually established before the project begins | Rarely have art institutions approached us with a specific request | After extensive research, the group makes a final decision concerning what is in fact to be accomplished | WochenKlausur works toward concrete goals. When project is completed, it is possible to observe how many of its objectives have been achieved. It is then the task of critic to compare the intention with result.
