Evenement: OPEN FORUM presents STEPHAN DILLEMUTH
mandag 9. februar 2009 kl. 19:00 på Kunstakademiet i Oslo
THE ACADEMY AND THE CORPORATE PUBLIC
a talk on research, bohemianism and the reform of life
Stephan Dillemuth is an artist who sees art as a tool for artistic research and critical reflection on the circumstances of contemporary life. His inquiry into recent changes in the idea of the public sphere takes place against the backdrop of our globalised, localised and fragmented publics. Considering the impact of ‘lifestyle’ as a new ideology of self-fulfilment and liberation, Stephan Dillemuth has investigated the German Lebensreform movements at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. Avoiding didactic explanations or direct comparisons with the present, Stephan Dillemuth’s work settles in the gap between a contemporary and a historical reading.
The talk will be in English
