[Nettime-nl] WochenKlausur, den haag |
March 19, at 17.00hrs presentation by artists group WochenKlausur at Bureau Optrek Wijk-en Dienstencentrum Transvaal Scheepersstraat 54, The Hague WochenKlausur is an international group of artists, based in Vienna, whose practice is based on a far-reaching belief in the possibility of using art for concrete interventions. WochenKlausur aims to move in new directions that are responsive to the social role of art. "Why shouldn't art be able to interfere directly and make concrete contributions to ecological, social, political or scientific problems? In the sense of a social response from art, possibilities exist beyond the traditional and typical use of metaphors insinuations and art related representations." WochenKlausur attempts "to use the credibility of art in a very pragmatic way. Through concrete interventions they focus attention upon social injustices and create achievable programmes capable of addressing these problems".
